Old churches and candle lighting
 
Hello, I am in France visiting old villages in the Dordogne and ancient churches--and lighting candles. If you have someone for whom you would like me to light a candle and say a short prayer, give me a first name. Please don't PM, this iPad drives me nuts.

Some of you I already light candles for when we go. I am not Catholic, but it doesn't seem to matter!

If you pray for all sinners I will be included. Hurry back you enchanting Mademoiselle.

I think we all would like to be on that list.

Cyndy, pray for me, please.
Thank you, and may angels surround you as you pray.

Amen to that.

Please pray for my stepson Jc. He had back surgery Monday and now his leg is numb and he can't move it.

CFrance 10-05-2014 06:14 AM

Thank you all. This morning we visited Égliisé Notre Dame in the tiny village of Villefranche and lit a candle for gomoho's Sarah. More to come.
I am trying to take pics on my android phone and email them to myself so I can post a few here. Wish me luck!

Cisco Kid 10-05-2014 08:03 AM

Jim Deb Lulu Chloe

pbkmaine 10-05-2014 08:57 AM

What a nice offer! If you could light one for my niece, Susan, who is expecting her first baby and is experiencing those first-time-mom anxieties.

CFrance 10-05-2014 09:01 AM

Gotcha, Cisco & pbkmaine.

zonerboy 10-05-2014 09:07 AM

This is good.
Too many of our newer churches over here have replaced real candles with electronic, or battery operated, candles.
I think God likes prayers from real candles, with actual flames, much better.
Thank you, CFrance.

CFrance 10-05-2014 09:12 AM

Gracie and Villager, candles lit for Yvonne and Christine to find peace and happiness.

Both were lit at Saint Dominique Church in Monpazier, a bastide in the Dordogne. Image Gallery | Saint-Dominique Church (Monpazier) | Structurae. I am having trouble emailing pics to myself from my Android phone. I have pics of the candles if I ever get it to work.

graciegirl 10-05-2014 09:16 AM

Cyndy. You are the best.

I envy you Cindy,,, isn't Villefranche a beautiful little town? I arrived there on a Sunday morning (many years ago) and just loved the quaintness of the town. I miss traveling, I have to get back to that.

While your at it, could you please light a candle for our friend Barb 1191 and her husband Bill. We just heard of their passing this morning.

Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness.

Yes, there are actually three villefranches. Maybe I will get to see the sur mer one day.

Thank you, CFrance for lighting the candle for my mother, Christine, for her peace and happiness. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for you. Blessings to you!
