Lourdes: Two Days of Peace and prayer

We spent two days visiting the sanctuary. Upon our evening arrival, we cherished the Torchlight Rosary at 8:30 pm at the Grotto. The following day, we attended the 11:00 am mass and explored the sanctuary. It's a truly beautiful place with a peaceful atmosphere. I hope you enjoy your trip and find peace there.#Lourdes #France #OurLadyofLourdes #SanctuaryofLourdes

Fall Season at Lourdes

#fallingseason Never fails to amazed me by the Lords creation 🙏🏻💕

At the top of the French Pyrenees

Went to the summit of the Pic du Midi with friends. It was 42 euros to go up the cable car and summit with student discount. The views are amazing. However, the cable car was out of operation for 3 hours mid day so we had to cut the trip short. At the summit, you can walk around and take in the views. There is also a pricey restaurant and a museum. Sadly, we didn’t have enough time for the museum. Overall, pricey but really nice. Come early for more visibility. #Picdumidi

Holy Church of St Bernadette

The church of Sainte Bernadette of Banlay is a beautiful modern Catholic Church located in Nevers, in French, Burgundy region , in the grounds of the sanctuary, which built in the 20th century to remember the girl, who found Lourdes Virgin. It is nice and modern, look like a concert room. Not the prettiest from the outside..but the inside is just perfect for worshipper and the place is really peaceful for praying and meditation, where we could resource ourselve and give ourselve strength and hope to move forward in life. Lots of people coming from all over the world. The atmosphere is fantastic also. #holyland
