Marian Pilgrimage Day 2
I misplace things a lot. Keys, files, documents, from the trivial to the important, you name it, I’ve misplaced it. Heck, I sometimes can’t even remember where my reading glasses are even if they’re sitting on top of my head. My memory can get so bad, there was one time I forgot I was supposed to go back to the mall entrance so my staff can load pulled-out inventory from the store we used to have into the car. I had driven a couple of kilometers when she called to ask where I was. With my memory in that state, I call on my all time favorite saint, St. Anthony, a lot to find the lost - things, people, me. I love him so much I kidded my cousin Belle, whose memory is in the same state as mine, I will name my next husband after him 😆
What a thrill it was that our first place to visit when we landed in Lisbon was the Church of St. Anthony. The church was built on the site where he was born and houses a relic of my fave saint. We even got to see his old room.
Other highlights:
Lunch at Jardim Mundial
Lisbon Cathedral
Suspension bridge
Belem Tower
Jeronimos Monastery where Vasco da Gama’s remains lay
Reflection: Isn’t it great God does not have a memory like mine? He never loses things, especially the people He created. Even if, through our own foolishness, we get lost, He will always find us. He will look for His lost sheep.
