Photo AlbumA FATIMA REVIVALNov 26, '06 4:08 PM
for everyone
I'll let the pictures speak ... for so many great things happened in this place, and I am finding it hard to even write anything close to the awesomeness of the experience of being here... even the silent traces of the pen upon paper is too noisy for the glorious silence of a heart full of blessings...

blessed to be here

I visited Fatima years ago .... I was younger back then and didn't understand things the way I do now .. but it really touched my life, I asw the pilgrims walking on their knees .. I visited all the places you show in your photos , we had a priest with us ,,, so they let us use one of the small churches they have for a mass, I really wish I could visit it again, oh and I rememebr sthing .. my grandma was with us (her purpose of the visit was that she wanted to pray for my mom to have another child beside me, coz she was facing some health troubles in that) , and during the trip she had a vision of mother mary giving a baby to my mom , and a couple of months later after we returned to Jordan, my mom got pregnant with my sister without any medical treatment even the doctor was surprised coz he knew it was impossible .. my parents called my sister Hiba ( means in arabic .. a heavenly gift). Thank you for posting these photos .. they reminded me of a great time :-)

Hi Tita! I was in Portugal November 8-10, on our way to Spain. I think I visited sme of the places that Mike himself saw when he went to Spain with Sasha. The pilgrimage was 11 days. Thanks for the greetings. I miss you three there in Koeln. Hopefully, I can visit again, soon.

yes! i remember it too. you mentioned something about a place in lorudes that is hosted by a filipina, but i had no chance to ask anymore... got too busy. lourdes is the final stop of the pilgrimage, so you might have to wait for a little while longer... :)

Well, thanks, Tita! I had an OK birthday... after the trip, I couldnt afford a big bash. I guess im getting too old for those big shindigs anyway. :)
