Today we went to the mountains, to the little village of Gavarnie. Along with group 71 Fr Pat celebrated the Mass with us under the sky surrounded by the mountains. We had a picnic lunch and then we all had rides on the donkeys. Many of us went to the shops and bought lots of sweets.

After we came back to the hotel for dinner we brought our group candel to the Grotto, and we all lit candels for those we love back home.

Dan explained as long as our candel burns here at Lourdes our prayer continues. Like Bernadette said, we can return here every day in our hearts.

Tomorrow we head home, bright and early!
