M.SIGGA Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Yo Pham, I really miss being on here Lol. I've been MIA for awhile and I thought I might fill everybody in (if you really want to know lol). I was able to attend the 60th Anniversary Ceremonies in D-Day with George W. and Chirac and a bunch of other presidents last Sunday at Omaha Beach near Bayeaux, Normandie. Afterwards this past week it all sort of went downhill.... France is on a Code Red alert because of Iraq drama and the upcomming EU elections and I was stopped and interrogated on Monday by a soldier with a machine gun (forgot the passport for the first time - long story). There was an anti-Bush protest which was sort of scary across the street from my hotel and it got sort of scary when the protestors started burning stuff Tuesday i got a minor staph infection and i had to get hospitalized for a day and I was sent home for bed rest until last night when my fever finally broke. Today it was nice though... I went to Versailles and I finally got to go to Confession at Notre Dame because thats the only place were the priests speak English. i was able to see the Incorrupt bodies of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Catherine Labourd, and the Chair of the Miraculous Medal too. I'm going to Basilique de Sacre Coeur tommorow for the Corpus Christi procession and I'll be in Liseaux on Thursday and Lourdes (yay!) on Saturday so I'll light some candles for everyone - holla back with some prayer requests and I'll definitely bring them with me. The people here have been soooo nice too so don't believe everything you hear about the French - one guy even did my laundry a week ago because I couldn't understand the directions lol. They really literally bend over backwards to help Americans out. Paix en Christ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cure of Ars Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 You get better. St. John Vianney was French so they can't be that bad. Oh ya if you would pray from my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Glad to see you're having a great time minus the few mishaps. I'd love to go to France some day since French is my first language. Both sides of my family are from there but I've never actually been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.SIGGA Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 lol... but the only prob is they call our finest export to France (aka the World's Dairy Capital) Idiot coagulated milk. I'm copying all the intentions down everyday so keep'em coming or you can message me before Thurs. I sort of can't afford to chat again until next week because it actually costs like 1 euro every 15 minutes online and that has to be reserved for school stuff, but I'll definitly be lurking about once a day. God Bless and Corpus Christi is tommorow and [color=red][b]FEAST of the SACRED HEART [/b][/color]is this Friday so someone post something big and cool Lol.

traichuoi Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 i was wondering where you were at... can you pray for me that I thank God at the end of the day for everything...good and bad and that I continue to do His will without complaint or doubt... and for the reconciliation of mine and my brother's relationship with our dad... oh, and that my atheist side of the family become practicing believers...

let_go_let_God Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I get to go to Paris for three days on part of a music trip. Any suggestions on what I should go see while I'm there. Only problem is, I'm going with a non-secular group, and can't go anywhere alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
