From Fr. Bob on May 4th
Greetings and Peace from Paris! We've had a wonderful day with St. Therese in Lisieux. Beautiful day and awesome ride on the Train. God has been so good to us! Been praying for all our intentions we carry in our hearts especially our family and friends! We have just had an excellent dinner and some have come back to the hotel (because I make sure they come back tired) and some are off playing at the Eiffel Tower. As I say, on these pilgrimages, we pray hard and we play hard.I have kept us going all day long, but tomorrow we celebrate Mass at the Miraculous Medal Chapel where the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Laboure in 1830, then we'll spend a few moments with the body of St. Vincent de Paul, then I give them the rest of the day to visit Paris on their own, even though most want to come with me to Sacre Coeur de Monmartre Shrine, the Notre Dame Basilica and then to the Eifel Tower. Our pilgrims have been so good with no problems at all and all the energy they need, except when they drop dead in their beds for the night. I am so grateful for the many graces that have been poured into these saints-in-the-making and the many graces that have come your way. Please claim the power of our humble prayers for you. Shalom, my dear friends! Rich blessings be yours!Fr. Bob

It was a tremendous blessing to have met you all in Lisieux! Even more so to have had the opportunity to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with you all on two occasions. Your generosity has not been forgotten. May God reward you! and May Our Lady keep you!
