Viva Papa! Benedicto! Esta es la juventud de Papa!

Wow, almost can't believe it's over! We'll all be heading home tomorrow morning...it's been an amazing trip, with many graces and blessings, but I must say I think I'm ready to come home! The Vigil was great, and was made exciting by a pretty hard downpour, which luckily only lasted for a tad....then Mass with his Holiness on Sunday was super awesome, and his apostolic blessing went out to us and to our loved ones, which includes all of you! Then today we had one more quick trip to Segovia, where the body of St. John of the Cross rests. We were privileged to have mass in the tomb chapel, and hung out in the town for the day, walking around the magnificent Spanish Alcazar (fortress), cathedrals and various churches. Also, another Camino runs through the town, at kilometer marker 575...yikes! We thought our 112 was rough... ;)
So, God be with you all, please keep our travels in your prayers, especially our two awesome sisters, who have quite the travel plans as they head back to Guatemala...planes, more planes, buses, and more buses. Looking forward to seeing y'all all soon, we remain in Christ,
Our Lady's Pilgrims
