Commentaries
from previous Pilgrims………
From Roxanne 9 February 2008
Just so you know, I had an awesome time. The ENTIRE trip was so much
more than I expected! Like we discussed at the hacienda, the best
part of going to a new country is the cultural experience- which we got to
see and know first hand and it is very Catholic. Yes, I did have lots
of fun and I was also spiritually enriched very much. When
I came home I felt kinda like part of me stayed there in Quito.
I missed the beauty and seeing the spirit of the people who live there.
Anyhow, God willing, I hope to return next year for the pilgrimage!
I will start saving now so that if all is well I can return and see you all
and my God and the Virgin Mary like I've never seen them before! Take
care.

We have been on a Pilgrimage to practically
every well known Marian shrine in the Europe and Asia, and must admit this
was the best trip we have experienced.

I want to tell you that, like the group we had in our pilgrimage to Italy,
this group, although much smaller, was just great. Our guides Juan and Esteban,
for tours of the churches in the surrounding area either on foot or by bus
were excellent. Esteban was very well informed as to the historical, cultural
and spiritual relevance of the places we visited. He had the patience of Job
when it came to answering our questions and was extremely well informed. All
of us enjoyed his sense of humor and kind manner and found him to be an excellent
guide. We were picked up by a very nice young man from the Excelsior Tours
Agency and transported to my hotel and to a monastery where Father was staying.
At check-in at the hotel I was handed a nice little package containing coca
and oregano tea bags, great for altitude adjustment, compliments of Mathieu
Gillory, the tour director. What a good idea! The people on our Pilgrimage
came from so many different parts of the United States, Europe and Latin America,
were from very young to seniors in age, of different cultural backgrounds
and languages and yet we hit it off beautifully. We had the most important
thing in common: our Faith. We were able to pray together, have fun and enjoy
each other in the love of Our Lady of Good Success.
