... with the international Pilgrim Statue of Fatima...
I have been struggling with weight maintenance and keeping motivated... Yesterday a wonderful opportunity was brought to my doorstep... "The Statue was not only in my area but right at my church.... I took personal day packed bottled water some fresh food appropriate for a light fast rosary's and a small journal turned off my phone and set out for the twenty minute walk to church.. My own little mini pilgrimage...
Nothing could have prepared me for the day ahead... From the 9 am procession in to the 9 pm procession out each hour brought something special way to much to list here... I saw many old friends come and go throughout the day reinforcing how important church is to our sense of community ... the music was so joyous ... I highly recommend bringing a journal for help during the times of quiet reflection... and a pair of comfortable shoes for taking walks through out the day most hours I spent my quiet reflection time out doors walking and meditating...
What I came away with is that sometimes due to fiances ,responsibilities,health our space can become small however with some thought our minds and worlds need not...
Would love to hear from anyone who has seen the statue and how it affected them... Thank you for letting me share...

what a wonderful day you had, I checked the websites and found it is not coming anywhere near me this year. I love that you shared how great a blessing it can be.0

Thanks Kim I hope that you get the opportunity at some point ... They did tell us the schedule for the next month and suggested that if unable to physically make it to say a rosary at the same time so all our voices joined in pray would be strong...0
