Burgos Spain to Loyola to Lourdes France

by Steve Ray on September 13, 2021

We left our beautiful Grand Teatro Hotel and headed northeast to Loyola where St. Ignatius lived and eventually had a spiritual conversion.

His leg was wounded in a war and while he lay recuperating he read the Lives of the Saints and his heart was fully converted toward God. We had Mass in the room where he converted (homily here). Then we headed northeast to cross the border into France and arrive at Lourdes where we will now spend the next three days.
