Pilgrimage to the Holy Doors of Mercy

By November 3, 2016 Religious No Comments

 What a fulfilling day!!!! The BFFs were pilgrims yesterday and visited the 5 Holy Doors of Mercy.  A different kind of Halloween where your treats are the blessings God gives in every door.

The whole time we kept saying “We are so happy” “What a nice day” ??

We are so lucky to be alive while Pope Francis is Pope.

We have been planning this for months and finally decided on a date. We started at 730am and finished at 4pm with lunch ( 1 1/2 hours) in between. We stayed 40 minutes to 1 hour per door. You can finish it probably in half a day if no traffic and just bring food in the car. You still have til November 12 to visit the Holy Doors of Mercy #HolyDoorofMercy #PopeFrancis #HolyDoorsofMercy #H2HGroups #H2HBFFs

 There are many Holy Doors but the Archdiocese of Manila is the only one that has the passport and has 5 churches included.  This is what we did as our pilgrimagepilgrimage-to-the-holy-doors-of-mercy-1 pilgrimage-to-the-holy-doors-of-mercy-100We sort of made an itinerary as a guide.  We got hungry after the 3rd church so we had lunch so we do not get dizzy and rush had we gone ahead to the other churches
