I'm putting them into the same post and I will add comments...
The is a shot of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception...To see better pictures, go to the website...
There were about six bishops and at least twenty priests...The purple of the vestments denotes the day being dedicated to penance and reparation for abortion.
THIS is the most amazing image of Christ that I have ever seen. It is at the very front of the church and I just love the look on His face...
There was so much energy in that place, so many people and so much prayer. It was a very special Mass.
My three great guys! They are such troupers and always up for everything.
Sweet, enthusiastic Paul
Loving, caring Brendan...our prayer warrior!
And John, such a giver and such a help. He comes through even when he doesn't feel like it.
The young people were out in force. I heard a comment that there aren't very many young women going to the March anymore...ummm...some newspaper said that. I think I only saw about 10,000 myself, but that was just in my little corner of the march...
Just a few kids in front of the Verizon Center...and then...after the rally let out...
For a time you couldn't see anything, there were just too many people. But it was SO exciting to be there with so many young people that care so much about the Truth!
Look at the street behind these people. It was a sea of marchers from where we were to blocks behind us. The Street was packed!
Yesterday's post...
Today was so amazing...We went to Washington DC this morning to attend Mass at the National Shrine and the on to the mall for the March for Life...
I can't even describe the energy in that place...
The Basilica was standing room only, and the boys and I had to sit and kneel on the floor, and the Mall was just packed!
The Verizon Center was filled to capacity. 20,500 young people attended a rally that included a Mass, several bands and gave the kids their marching orders.
I will post pictures tomorrow, but I just want to Thank God for so very many prayers answered...
Getting to the Basilica in time for Mass, and light traffic.
A PERFECT parking place at the church.
Finding our way easily all over the city, well yes, GPS helped out with that too, but God kept us safe.
Getting into town and finding a parking place UNDER the Verizon Center, for only 15.00!
No bad weather at all, after we were told to expect a winter storm.
And all the many, many wonderful people that attended with us. We are truly the Body of Christ!
Pictures in the morning...I'm exhausted...
