\"\"<\/a>Today we traveled from Leiria to Santiago de Compostela. \u00a0The bus ride was about 5 hours, but the views made it very enjoyable. \u00a0I’ve posted some of those pictures, as well as pictures from yesterday, on Picasa here: https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/103777728917566675236\/WYD?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCO3k5I7F1YSclwE&feat=directlink<\/a><\/p>\n

This morning I asked for more comments from the pilgrims, here’s what they had to say:<\/p>\n

Having lots of fun, lovin’ Portugal.<\/p>\n

– Casey, Santa Rosa<\/p>\n

Fatima was a special place. \u00a0There was a peace there I have not felt anywhere else. \u00a0Peace and Prayers.<\/p>\n

– Fr. Will, St. Helen\/St. Mary’s C.S.<\/p>\n

Hey everybody, I’m doing great. \u00a0Fatima was amazingly beautiful. \u00a0I loved it, and I really wanna go back. \u00a0Maybe if I get married, I’d wanna bring my wife and kids to this amazing experience. \u00a0But that’s future stuff that might not happen. \u00a0Later everyone, love you all!! (:<\/p>\n

– Jon, St. Helen<\/p>\n

Hola! The trip is good. \u00a0I tried a whole bunch of new foods.:) \u00a0Hope the family’s great. \u00a0Have fun at the Star Trek Convention, Dominic! \u00a0I love you Yeshua!<\/p>\n

– Jeanne, St. Helen<\/p>\n

Hola Folks, we are on our on our way to Santiago de Compostela from Leiria this morning. \u00a0Our visit to Lisbon was great, the people were very warm and welcoming as it was the birth places of St. Anthony of Padua. \u00a0We visited the Church of his birth that is located next to the Cathedral, which was amazing itself. \u00a0Yesterday, in Fatima, I had the opportunity to pray after the mass we attended with over 20,000 pilgrims before the sit where the Virgin appeared to the shepards. \u00a0In thanksgiving for her protection of my life and vocations as I journey deeper into the depths of Christ’s love ad his priesthood, as I lay aside my selfish ways to serve him and his people more fully. \u00a0Until next time.<\/p>\n

– Fr. Wade, St. Thomas More<\/p>\n

Fatima was SO beautiful!! I’ve never been to a mass that big.<\/p>\n

– Lydia, St. Joseph<\/p>\n

It was moving to see so many people from so many different countries come together for the same purpose in Fatima. \u00a0Praying for y’all!<\/p>\n

– Catalina, St. Catherine of Sienna<\/p>\n

August 13+Fatima, Portugal+beautiful 3 hours mass+18,000 people in the hot sun=really awkward half body sunburn.<\/p>\n

– Rene, St. Vincent de Paul<\/p>\n

Fatima was overwhelming. \u00a0We are on the move again to Santiago de Compestela where we will go to mass and have a sight seeing tour.<\/p>\n
