February 13, 2013-
Classes have been better this week as I have decided to have a more positive outlook. Today was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lentin season. For Catholics, lent is a time to reflect on ones life and their relationship with the Lord. This Ash Wednesday will forever be a memory that I look back on and realize how lucky I truly am.
This morning I had the privilege to attend Ash Wednesday mass at the Cathedral in Barcelona. Although I did not understand the mass because it was in Catalan, it was relatively the same so I understood what was going on. The Cathedral was breathtaking and celebrating mass at it was life changing! The columns, the architecture, the baubles inside, everything was beautiful, I truly felt like I was in God's home.
After a great morning, on our walk to school we stopped and got some fantastic gelato. Since we were early, we sat on a bench in the sun and ate it until it was time for class. After class it was back to the bocqueria with all of my friends! What a great day.
Chao!
