But...the first night I was ever there, we went down to the grotto after booking into our hotel. It was about 10pm. I just sank to my knees and said to my companions "She's here". That's Lourdes. She's there.

I´ll have you on my intentions in the Rosary today, since I have not been praying it for quite a long time.

I had a look today on the Lourdes Official website and see that Mass has been celebrated in the Grotto in twenty different languages over the last few days including one I had never heard of. However I see that yesterday at 8.30 the language given was Latin which was a surprise. I presume that it was a Novus Ordo and wonder if this was a first for the Grotto?<br /><br />Your comments regarding the impossibility of saying the Rosary due to the conversations around you at the Baths reminded me of the time when I was sitting just in front of two elderly ladies from the Emerald Isle during the afternoon Rosary in the Grotto which is always said in French at that time. They chatted loudly for the duration then right at the end one said to the other 'I don't know about you but I can't pray in a foreign language' and got up and left!<br />Everyone there was far too kind to ask them to be quieter although we did all raise our voices to compete! The new Bishop has announced plans to make the Grotto more conducive to prayer - the young people walking around with their 'Silence' placards sadly did not make much difference and the 'Silence' sign at the entrance seems always to be half hidden by a bush. <br /><br />Are the two bridges rebuilt now?Pelerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243859145007696053noreply@blogger.com
