Fr. Reginald comments on his arrival to Rome in 1962, "The day after I came to Rome I went to the Roman Forum and I saw all this stuff that I had read about as a kid and studied, the place Cicero gave his orations. I just lost my mind... Here was this whole living language which I had come to lone in the United States... To come here and to imagine, as I still like to do, people walking around the Forum speaking Latin... to read Cicero's orations out loud and hear the same words bouncing off the walls that bounced off the walls in Ceasar's presence in September of 46 B.C. It's just too much"
