THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Saturday 26/9/2009)
Day 17 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 9
Mom watched You as You swung your legs down and slowly, got down from the stretcher-carriage.
She found herself almost holding her breath as You walked over to Dad and her. Dad greeted You with open arms as You lowered yourself and sat by the bench with us.
That was today's big accomplishment, your mother mentally noted to jot down in her journal later.
As we relaxed and allowed our senses to soak up the tranquility of the surroundings, Mom sighed her relief and remarked that somehow, we had managed to complete the 9 days of our novena.
That was no easy feat.
Some days were easier than others, she admitted, but we managed to pull through all the same to complete the 9 days.
It was an achievement definitely.
Thank God for that. Our Lady was holding your hand at all times, and we could feel Her divine intervention from day to day.
God surely has His plans.
