The Pilgrimage of a Lifetime

A pilgrimage involves making one's heart full of desire for a new adventure, for special graces--to praise, petition & give thanks to the Lord. And then returning home we are transformed, renewed and restored by the abundant blessings received.

Last night in Lourdes - at the Grotto

So to continue our night we decided to go to the Grotto really late. We wanted to pray and sing with Our Lady but if you don't go late at night you get "shushed" as Fr Uriel says. So 2am we headed out. We arrived to a mostly empty grotto. So peaceful. We filled up our bottles at the fountains and purchased candles from the little kiosks. We were able to go right up inside the grotto and just be. So powerful to be there with Our Mother. We sang and voiced all the intentions you have sent with us. It was truly beautiful. So holy. So peaceful.
