I spent a day ecstatic about the things of God, full of spirituality and very blessed. Surprised by all I was able to see and experience. It had been a lifelong dream of mine to experience and be in that immensity of our faith as a Catholic within St. Peter's Plaza and St. Peter's Basilica itself. And, additionally, to be able to climb the dome of the Basilica. Praise be to God who has allowed me to fulfill one of my most important dreams in my life, and what I wrote hours after my visit, even with tears in my eyes from the emotion. Blessed be God and Blessed Mary of Guadalupe that I was able to be here on this wonderful day of my life.
