In Thessaloniki, we went to Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Like many of the churches in Greece, its exterior is yellow.
This was a special place for me because my brother Jim was born on the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception.
Love the crosses inside the hearts.
The Annunciation.
When I visit churches, I like to take a photo of the Ninth Station of the Cross, Jesus Falls for the Third Time. Jesus fell three times while carrying his cross. He gets up three times. This gives me hope for myself when I so frequently fall.
In the reflection after Communion, Father Michael asked God for the grace to carry out our vocations. This is exactly what I want to do, what I recommitted myself to doing after Jim's death. I lit a candle for Jim in the church.
