Dear Friends,

I arrived back here about 3 hours ago and have now to start catching up.

However I actually arrived in Lourdes on Friday 27th Sept and spent 11 nights there. On the Monday I spent the afternoon in the Grotto and there placed your petitions in the hands of Our Mother and spent the afternoon there [ it was beautifully warm and sunny smile ] and said the Rosary in Her Presence offerring a decade for each person who had asked for my prayers. That it has to be admitted was the last quiet day there but I have some truly wonderful memories - including a most wonderful Mass in the Ukranian Church - like I have never ever experienced before.

Some little packages will be wending their way across the big pond soon - once the caravan has been emptied biggrin

Angela,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for placing my petition at the grotto and for the prayer on the rosary. Your time there sounded absolutely wonderful and peaceful - what a beautiful experience!
I am glad you arrived home safely and you will continue to be in my prayers.
Much thanks again and God be with you and all of His graces.
-Janet

Michael,

I promise I will but if I say at this point that if an an icon is a window to Heaven then that Liturgy must really have been the open gateway. Almost 2 hours passed without my noticing it -- truly wonderful.

Just let me get my brain into gear and catch up on all the mundane things to do with life first.

A hearty "welcome back" to "our lady AT Lourdes."

God bless,
