I ENJOYED THIS VIDIO BECAUSE OF THE VISUAL, MUSIC, AND QUIET BUT ENLIGHTENING ATOMOSPHERE OF GODS HOUSE OF WORSHIP. THE QUIET PLACE TO CONNECT WITH GODS HEALING AND FORGIVING SPIRIT, ARE APTLY MENTIONED BY THE PRIEST, IN THIS HECTIC WORLD, A PLACE OF SOLACE.
Dear Alex and John — What a find to add to your list of sacred, peaceful places. The videotaping you did and Father Gregory’s words and his organ music dove-tail together so beautifully and present a truly amazing sanctuary so close at hand. You two do such good work. I look forward to the next one. Thank you.
Thanks Judy, we are learning a lot and, I hope, getting better as we go. We have been privileged to meet some wonderful people,
who have been willing to let us videotape them. Next we’re off to Mexico City for the Guadalupe celebration! XX
You guys rock. We can feel your spirit way over on the East Coast. It certainly came through on this one. Mexico City next? Wow.
:>)
Thanks Don, that’s high praise from a noted video guy such as yourself. We have been warned of the dangers traveling to Mexico these days, but it’s such an opportunity — I hope we can do justice to it. Keep warm. XX
The video from San Francisco makes my heart sing. Bless your work….
Thanks for watching — bless your heart! I hope you have had a chance to visit this shrine; it’s beautiful.
My wife and I just visited the Shrine of St Francis in San Francisco. We happened to come upon the church while walking around Chinatown. It was also the day that the new pope was voted in and we were there praying when it was announced. You really captured the spirit in this video. I am thankful for your video because I can now show people where we were instead of trying to explain how beautiful and serene it is there. Also, the staff was very friendly and explained much of the history of the shrine. Visit there if you have a chance.
Thanks for your comments, Thomas. I’m glad you were able to visit the Shrine and meet some of the wonderful and dedicated people there. Isn’t it a special place?
