My dear people, I'm having a great time here in France, and seeing some spectacular Holy Places, so I don't have a lot of time to miss you, but that will probably come. As you know, I'm visiting some of the great gothic cathedrals on my way to start my pilgrimage. But I do think of you all and carry you all in my heart and prayers. Everything has gone well so far, and I am well, but keep up your prayers for me. I'm sure this time will continue to fly, and I'll be back before you know it. Notre Dame, pray for us!...Fr. Dave
