I let Liz sleep in until 9, then had a relaxing breakfast before attending 12:00 Mass at Igrexa de Santa Maria. It has the cross of Jesus of the Golden beard. Legend has it that the cross was on a boat passing Finisterre when it was caught in a bad storm. They would have foundered had not the crew thrown the figure of Christ into the waters whereupon they became miraculously calmed. It is said that his body has sweated and his beard seen to grow. Miracles have been associated with this beautiful effigy of Christ, so I offered my Mass for a miracle cure for those of you with cancer and pain. Liz and I then set off for the beach on the other side of the peninsula. You are not allowed to swim in it because of the bad undertow but that was ok as the water was freezing. I guess it would be as it’s the Atlantic Ocean. We spent over 3 hours there enjoying the sights and sound of the crashing waves against the rocks. That is until a big wave crashed against my rock and drenched me!!
After today I realized the question isn’t did “God speak to me” but rather did I hear Him??
Keep us in your prayers as you are in mine.
