Daily Thoughts: Sunday blessings to all! Many of you are now bedded down for a hopefully a restful night as we here in Tours are getting ready for another day of journey.
We had a very nice day yesterday visiting the castles of Chateau Dee Chenonceau and Chateau D'Amboise and it end with mass at the Church of Notre Dame La Riche. Evene though our mass was at 5 pm we celebrated the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. It was a beautiful Church in the midst of a neighborhood of Tours. After mass we walked about five blocks to the Basilica of St, Martin of Tours. St. Martin is buried there in the crypt below the main alter, Then we made the short drive back to our hotel for dinner and a relaxing evening.
Today we will head out in about an hour or so for Chartres where we will have mass in the Cathedral of Chartres - Notre Dame De Chartres which should be a special experience. Then we will get a tour of the Cathedral and its famous stained glass windows. Then we will grab a little lunch before driving to Mont Saint Michel which will be the sight of our Monday adventure.
So as you can see we continue our pilgrimage through France that we are getting a real feel for the history, the people and the faith of France.
Daily Blessing: I hope you all will have a holy and blessed Sunday. One rich in the faith, hope, love and joy of God. May it be a relaxing and restful day. May it be rich in the presence of God in the people you meet, in the places you go and in the things you do and encounter. I will remember all of you in a special way at mass today as I celebrate it with our group in the Cathedral of Chartres. Please remember to give God a time today in your life. Many blessings and much peace today. Peace in Christ's Passion...Fr. Paul
