Because of the chemotherapy infusion the day before leaving, I was unable to begin the pilgrimage with the traditional Stella Artois. I left from Charlotte around 5:00 pm on Thursday, arriving in Paris just after 7:00 am local time.
Unfortunately, a slightly late arrival and busy transfer traffic caused me to miss my 8:40 am flight to Pau (near Lourdes), so I am in Paris waiting for the next flight at 12:45 pm. In the meantime, I am enjoying an espresso and pain au chocolat:

I should arrive in Lourdes by this evening, and will be sure to pray for everyone at the Rosary Procession tonight.

Safe Travels!
Happy feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Today's the day when Bernadette had her last vision, across the river.
By the way... What's the name of the Scottish couple who are often to be seen helping with the rosary at night, you know, up on the steps of the basilica?
Philip, I[m here rooting ceaselessly for you. Expect that miracle! I am confident that Our Lady and her dear Bernadette will not let you down.
May His Holy Will be done!

Thank you Philip.
God bless you!

Please would you check and post on the blog times and places of the EF Masses. They are not always easily found.
Many thanks Peter
I am praying everyday and know that Our Dear Blessed Lord is with you all the way.

Be assured that I and St Patrick Parish in Largo will be joining you in prayer as you intercede to Our Lady of Lourdes for healing> May the Lord continue to give you His Strength and Peace!
Peter,
The Latin Mass is offered every Sunday at 9:00am in the Immaculate Conception Basilica (upper basilica) by a priest of the Fraternity of Saint Peter. It is the only regularly scheduled Mass, but often it is possible to find a visiting priest who will offer a private Mass in one of the chapels.
Watching the blog. Thanks for the news. God bless you.
