sic deus dilexit Mundum
Pat took this photo today at the Sanctuary of Loyola
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Triumph of the Cross
Burgos - San Ignacio de Loyola - Lourdes, France
We travel through the Basque Region toward Lourdes.
En Route, pause to reflect at the 17th Century Sanctuary of Loyola
built in honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola Founder of the Jesuits
( Society of Jesus )
Cross into France and stay overnight in Lourdes
From Pat a while ago
" We are now in Lourdes. Two long days of traveling but here we are for two days. Thank you, God.
We had a private Mass today in the chapel at the St Ignatius Basilica.
Fr John gave us a homily that (praise Jesus) was a bit shorter than the one last night from the Spanish priest at the Basilica. I wish I understood Spanish, as the priest was quite animated and passionate. What was he telling us?
Tonight we will participate in the candlelight procession. Tomorrow a guided tour of the shrine.
The weather has been perfect, cool in the morning and warmer in the afternoon. " Pat
