Welcome to day 3 of my pilgrimage to get closer to the Virgin Mary. Today we continued our tour and had group activities sort of like a camp where we reflect on why Mary came to Bernadette?, why is she the Immaculate Conception?, why do we put our faith into Mary?, What makes her the amazing person that looks down to us today and guides us?
We all started by introducing ourselves and most of the people could speak fluent French so we couln't really understand much but we managed to make friends with them. We all told the tour guide why we were here in a room with 16 other people in Lourdes. My two best friends and i said that we were here to get closer to Mary and understand why we look up to her as such a miraculous person.
The tour guide then invited one of the Priests in Lourdes who holds masses at the Grotto. He preached to us about why we love Mary and why is she classified as the Immaculate Conception?
He told us that Mary said yes to God, she said yes to everyone no matter who and put her faith in God, she was at Jesus' feet when he was crucified. Mary was an amazing person an still is in her own right.
We then played some games and made a little campfire outside and mingled and mingled for hours. After we mingled, we then had reflection time where we had to look into the fire and think of the wonderful times in our lives.
