Firstly, there are loads of photos on the Twitter feed (right and down a bit) of the stations of the cross from this morning.

Today… instead of writing an article, we are getting lots of Redshirts to share a few thoughts…

Bethany Martin, Pulborough: It’s all Fan-astic so far and the weather is beautiful but rainy. Our journeys are only just beginning…

Hannah Fricker, Arundel: We have all journeyed here in our separate ways but we are all united in our faith.

Paul Daly, Horsham: It’s all great. Love it!

Jessica Smith, Horsham: The trip so far has been great.

Marieh Ligutan, Chertsey: It’s been great so far. I am having so much fun and I’ve made loads of friends. My favourite part so far has been meeting people from all round the diocese. Somebody said I had the brightest smile in the world!!

Oliver Dook, Peavehaven: The pilgrimage has been fun so far. I have enjoyed the scenery, my small group, and the torchlight procession was a highlight too.

Hannah Stainton, Walton-on-Thames: Lourdes has been amazing so far. I have made some really good friends. I hope to keep in contact with all of them when the week’s over.

Grace Osbourne, Guildford: Lourdes has been incredibly moving. It’s like nowhere else I’ve ever been before and I’ll definitely return in the future. Everything’s been amazing so far.

Dan Fleming, Crawley: If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Katherine Almeida, Oxshot: Yesterday something that Ray said in night prayer really touched me. It made me realise that it doesn’t matter that I don’t know everything about where I’m going in my life, because I can do anything…

…more later…
