Day 16 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 8
It was a beautiful day.
We parked your carriage in the open space beside a large tree. The sun that was shining brightly this morning had somehow gone into hiding.
Now the sky was filled with puffy clouds.
The thick white clouds were so strikingly white that that they looked startling against the clear blue sky. It was a bit chilly without the sunshine.
Tilting her head back, Mom spoke aloud to Mother Mary, pleading with her to please bring the sun out so You could spend a little more time at Her place.
Your mother was still looking up to the sky, mesmerized by the sharp contrast of the pure white against the clear blue, when she witnessed the clouds slowly moving aside for the sun to shine its warm rays down from above.
Mom yelled out to Dad excitedly,
"Did you see that? Did you see that? OMG, did you see that? I asked Mother Mary to bring the sun to come out, and the clouds just moved aside!"
Dad nodded and said he saw that.
It was suddenly sunny again.
Mom turned to You.
You were relaxing comfortably, with your eyes closed and your hands clasped together on your chest.
Pic take on Sept 28, 2009.
That was certainly one of your better days.
