How Could I forget

First of all, thank you for the Anniversary wishes on Facebook. But on that note, Fr. Ben had us renew our vows (actually Katie A. has us renew them. Fr. Ben was just the person who made it happen.). Anyway, we went to St. Peter's square, and renewed them right there in the square, followed by a group rosary, and final Blessing for Carrie and I. It was beautiful. However, they Holy Spirit was quite present, in a very physical way. At the very end of the vows, all of the pidgeons who were perched on the Bascilica took off, flew right over our heads, around the obelisk, and returned to thier same spot. Of course, we were all floored. We were like, "COOL!!!!", or "WOW!!! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!!!!". The timing was perfect. But it didn't end there. Right after the Rosary, Fr. Ben had us kneel before him, as he gave us a blessing, again, right as he was finishing, the Church Bells of St. Peter started chiming away. It was an out of body experience. Make sure to ask your pilgrims about this when they get home.
