THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Wednesday 23/9/2009)
Day 14 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 6
We took the carriage out today.
As we would be spending quite a bit of time at the grotto after the 2 pm bath, it would be more comfortable for You to be able to rest and lay down on the carriage later. Going for daily baths was a routine, as well as participating in the Blessed Sacrament Procession at 5 pm and celebrating Holy Mass at 6 pm.
That day, at the indoor stadium while attending the Blessed Sacrament celebration, Sophia the Korean girl, came over to say hello.
She asked You how You were, and You gave her a wide smile and said "Good."
After exchanging some small talk with You, she turned to Mom and invited your mother to join the choir that night at the Rosary Basilica during the Candle Light Marian's Procession at 9 pm.
Mom wondered if that could be a sign from Our Lady to serve Her in some way.
Without hesitation, your mother said okay, and agreed to meet Sophia at the entrance of the Basilica at 8:30 pm.
By the time we got back to the hotel that evening, it was about 7:30 pm.
We went straight to the dining hall to have our dinner. This evening, You were well enough to sit with us for dinner. Aunt Laura was there, and she was very happy to see You. We had broccoli soup, spaghetti with zucchini in tomato sauce. You slurped up your pasta noodles and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
