6th. AUGUST 2011. FEAST OF TRANSFIGURATION. PILGRIMAGE, NICKY, FEAST.
Today is significant! Our little group of pilgrims left before 7.00a.m. They had the car just as far as the Orthodox Cathedral and then the furgon - minibus - direct to Rinas or Airport Nene Tereze! I noticed one of our pilgrims had their 'first' address neatly typed. It began - Eglise de Sante Esprit, and ended a few lines later with Paris. I do not have any further itenerary at this point, even though very aware that Madrid is their final destination.
My own focus for these days includes the local hospital. Our friend Nicky, an Anglican missionary who attends our church, has had emergency appendix surgery. Thank God, she is making a good recovery.
And yes, I can say with today's feast, - "Lord, it is good to be here"! This date is a reminder of other days. Over twelve to fourteen years, I was at Rossnowlagh Retreat Centre in Donegal,involved in giving the Fourfold Vision Retreats, with Rev. Bill Hewett,SJ. I recall it as a time of rich ministry.
Happy feast! Have a great weekend and spare a little prayer for our pilgrims as they join the Eudist-Good Shepherd Project for World Youth Day 2011.
