点评:My first visit to Ireland had to include visiting Our Lady of Knock. Arriving at night was not the best time but yet as I got to the Chapel of the Apparitions, I was so moved to see and feel what took place here in 1879. Praying the Rosary and thanking Our Lady for making this long journey from Texas was a dream come true since I was given an opportunity actually by St Bernadette in Nevers earlier this year after meeting someone from Ireland. God gives us a helping hand when we ask for His help, through intercession of Saints. The Basilica featured an enormous mosaic of the actual Apparition, I think the most beautiful picture I have ever seen, seems like I was there on that night that the 15 witnessed Our Lady, St Joseph, St John and the Lamb of God with a Cross, very unique and giving a special message from Heaven.
