Greetings from Lourdes

Here's a quick note to say hello from Lourdes, France. Right now I am having quite a time with the French keyboard, and the French spell-check is having quite a time with this message. I can't figure out how to post photos either. Anyway, I just wanted to let all of you know that I have been praying for each of you by name. If you have particular intentions you want me to remember, please add a comment below or contact me by email. James Joyce once said of the Catholic Church, "Here comes everybody"--and you can sure see it at Lourdes. Thousands of people and dozens of languages. Weather has been hot during the day and cool in the evening. The candlelight processions have been very touching to see. I hope to post more in a short while, but it is time for a French dinner. A trés bientot!
