This is a very interesting city. I don't speak a lick of French, but seem to be getting by fairly well so far. I am staying at a cute hotel along the Ramparts of the walled city. This is right outside my hotel window.
This morning I went to Mass at Notre Dame church a block from my hotel. Mass was in French, but I could follow it and say my prayers in English. After Mass I walked around the neighborhood and went to the Visitor's Center for a street map.
I was pretty tired from yesterday, so I went back to my hotel and took a 3 hour nap. When I awoke, I went to St. Ann's basilica. They have a relic of her in the church. I touched it and it made me weep. They had Mass there this afternoon, I attended my second Mass of the day.
Notice the mosaic above the alter with Mary, her mother Ann, and baby Jesus. |
