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.

Some final thoughts, August 27, 2011

Some final thoughts as a wrap up for my portion of this blog.
My family and I thank you all once again for helping all of us get to Madrid. If you donated to a second collection, ordered a flamingo flocking, bought See's candy, had your car washed by a pilgrim, bought a tri tip dinner or prayed for us, we thank you. It was a great honor to represent our parishioners at this huge, energetic gathering of our universal church. We were honored to carry your prayer intentions with us. We are humbled by your faith in us.
Thank you again for an unforgettable experience.
