Hospital by 6pm, More Barcelona....The Power of Prayer(s)

Candles ~ Mine is the yellow one behind the center of the circle, right side.
While going from town to town, I entered churches whenever possible....and lit a candle or two in each of them.....
This was a very spiritual trip and I hope that the development and things that I learned stay with me for a very, very long time.
I don't think that I told you yet....but, towards the end of my trip, I found out, actually the night before I left Rome, back for the USA, that Papa was having a major surgery. He made the family not tell me, but since I called the night before, I asked him about how things were going with the doctors and got it out of him....No doubt, I did get quite, um, alarmed, that he was going under the knife while I would be 30,000-40,000 feet in the air.....scary.
Luckily, all went well and I was able to enter his room at the hospital around 6pm the afternoon that I arrived (well, by that time it was evening)....He looked great and he's doing well so far.....I'm so thrilled.
Not knowing that he had made plans to have his surgery, it was a great coincidence that I was lighting candles all across Europe in churches and praying...I Thank God for his hand in Papa's surgery...I know, I'm not trying to preach or anything, it was just a great coincidence and they say there are no accidents in life, right?
