Paris - Day 14

The next day, we spent another day exploring Paris. This time, we visited the Arc de Triomphe and walked along the Champs-Élysées.

As expected, the area was crowded with tourists, but we still managed to capture some beautiful photos.





After that, we had lunch at a nearby ramen restaurant before continuing our walk through the city.









Later in the afternoon, we visited the Church of the Miraculous Medal at Rue du Bac.




Here is a short story about this special church and the Miraculous Medal:

Tucked away on a quiet street in Paris stands the Church of the Miraculous Medal—a place of grace, silence, and countless answered prayers.

In 1830, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared here to a humble novice, St. Catherine Labouré. During the apparition, Our Lady asked that a medal be made, bearing the words: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” She promised great graces to all who wore the medal with faith.

From this small chapel, the Miraculous Medal spread throughout the world, becoming a symbol of hope, healing, and trust in Mary’s intercession. Millions have worn it in times of suffering, uncertainty, and prayer.

Today, pilgrims come quietly to light candles, touch the altar of the apparitions, and entrust their intentions to Our Lady. In the heart of bustling Paris, this church remains a hidden sanctuary—where faith speaks softly and miracles continue to unfold in silence.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.
