Re: Lack of time.

Sorry this post is later than I expected.  We are running form event to event in the hot, hot sun each day.  This make for late nights and straight to bed.  We had a slight reprieve tonight by going to early events.  Some of the teens are wiped!  We are now in Madrid and all is well. Last night we attended the Welcoming Mass to the Arch Bishop  of Madrid.  There had to be close to, if not over, 1 million people there.  The streets were packed!    The energy was AWESOME!  Loading picture and will post asap.  Love to you all.

Grotto in Lourdes, France

We spent 1 & 1/2 days in Lourdes, France. Amazing!! Both Luke and I were able to do the Bathes there. What an amazing experence. Mary is in the place where she appeared to St. Bernadette. We attended the English speaking mass there on Saturday morning. WOW! is all I can say.

Barcelona

2am here in Lourdes, France.  Only arrived at midnight.  These are pictures from the Basilica in Barcelona. We had Mass i the Crypt.
More comments to follow tomorrow.

Hancock Airport and Away

Luke waits to board airplane for the first time. Or, is he just bored? . Mark and Nana brought us and we arrived here at 12pm. We have said our goodbyes and our flight to JFK leaves at 2:37pm. He may be bored? Most of the group is here. I had my bag searched at security. One on the t-shirts I packed has glitter in the material and it set off the scanner. Word to the wise...pack that type of shirt in the checked bag. lol

Let's Go!

Thank you everyone!  We are soon on our way.  Thought we would leave you with a very colorful THANK YOU!  Hope to be Blogging soon from Spain!

Almost there!

Phew!  One more day of work and off we go!  Please continue to pray for all of us as we travel.  Also, please pray for Mark and Rachel.  They will be holding down the fort while we are gone.  Rachel will be very busy getting last minute things done for college.  Mark will be making sure she's getting ready as well as working.  Lots to do as always.

Luke and I spoke at St. Mary's 8am mass today just like we did at St. Anthony's last weekend.  We saw a lot of friendly faces and were given lots of well wishes.  Thank you.

We have been busy doing laundry for most of today and have starting to pack.   Almost done!  We are both getting excited to be air bound in 2 days (less than 48 hrs).

God Bless :)
