The Glory of God

Today, we visited the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in DC. It’s enormous. When we first walked in, I thought “Well, it’s sure a lot smaller inside. It doesn’t look much bigger than the cathedral in Vancouver.” Then I realized that we were only in the transept. But anyway, it’s a truly awe-inspiring monument to men’s love for our Lady. There are beautiful side chapels everywhere, most of them dedicated to different titles and apparitions of Mary, and a big chapel in the crypt, with its own side chapel dedicated to confession, which is held for several hours daily. So much more to tell, but I’ll just leave it at “if you’re ever near DC, make a point of going there.” Even if you’re not Catholic. Maybe it’ll make you rethink things. God bless.
