Fatima for the day!

 

What a glorious day in Fatima! We walked the Way of the Cross, which took us to the spot where the Angel appeared to the children. It felt so good to be out walking! We then saw the homes of the “Seers” and then took a little break. Then Mass (in English!) in the chapel on the spot where the appearances took place.

Last May I focused on Fatima in a special way in my classes because of the Centennial – never did I dream I’d be here right now.

I prayed in a special way for my little grandsons at the tomb of St. Francisco, and 

my little granddaughters at the tombs of Lucia and St. Jacinta.

Tonight is the candlelight procession which is spectacular. (I was blessed to visit Fatima before in 2011). Those photos will have to wait until tomorrow’s blog post!

We will return to Santiago by bus tomorrow, Thursday.  Monday morning we will fly to Madrid and continue home.
