To begin with, Céline and I found ourselves in the company of many distinguished people. It might certainly have upset a vocation that was not very strong. I was delighted to go to Rome but I could quite understand people crediting Papa with the hope that in this way I should be brought to change my mind about the religious life. Nevertheless I saw splendid monuments I studied the countless wonders of art and religion and better than all, I trod the very ground the Holy Apostles had trodden-the ground watered by the blood of martyrs-and my soul grew by contact with these holy things. This journey taught me the vanity of all that passes away. Three days after the journey to Bayeux, I started on a much longer one-to the Eternal City.
