A week ago, on one of our days off, we were able to go to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I was so struck by beauty. Everything was stunning, even the car ride there and back was stunning. There were rolling hills that slowly turned into bluffs. Spring was just beginning and there was a lot of green starting to burst forth from the ground and the trees.
The shrine itself, was one of the most beautiful things I have seen. It was massive, beautiful stone was everywhere. the alter was gorgeous and walking in there were first class relics of six amazing saints. When I first walked in, I had to stop and look around to take it all in. one of my teammates told me to look to my right, and there was a relic of St. Therese of Lisieux! She is one of my very favorite Saints, and have begone to really have a relationship with her this year. So needless to say I got VERY excited!!!
After mass we went on a rosary walk, explored the area then drove to Lacrosse and grabbed some amazing food and ice cream! It was such a beautiful day!!! It is something I will never forget and I hope I have the ability to go back soon! And I strongly encourage you to go as well!
God bless you and keep you close!
