Please understand my brevity today. It has been such an emotional day!
Today, in our Novena, we brought to St. James, our intentions.,I had the great grace to bring my own special intentions to him in person as we arrived in Santiago.
We were able to meet up with our sweet Sarah, who is so dear to us.
We were amazingly reunited with so many of “our pilgrims” with whom we started 33 days ago!
We were able to attend the Pilgrim Mass where, quite unexpectedly, we were able to experience the censor that swings incense to the ceiling (more later).
We mailed our beloved trekking poles home.
We purchased our bus tickets…tomorrow we leave for Fatima, Portugal!
Now we need to go pick up our Compostela, our “diploma” of sorts, that indicates we completed this pilgrimage.
Then celebration! Fireworks and light show in the plaza.
I’ll say again – I need another heart to hold all my joy.
Praise God, from Whom ALL blessings flow!
