Holy Father, Redeeming Savior, 
We humbly ask that you intercede on our behalf for the people in the north western side of France.  Lord, You know your hearts desire for this area.  You know every need and heart ache.  You know their hearts cry, so teach us to pray for these needs.  Lord, we thank you for each soul that will come to know your this week in France and we thank you for the work of the Holy Spirit in lives.  Lord, use your Church in France to be the salt and light to those around them.  Lord, we desire a change in the hearts of men and women.  We pray that they will leave their way of thinking and turn to You.  Redeem souls, cleanse hearts and transform lives today, and we humbly ask that you begin in us.  
We pray in the name of Jesus our Redeemer.  Amen.

Today and tomorrow will be sprint finishes.  We leave the medieval city of Dinan located in Brittany and travel to Lisieux in the region of Normandy. Dinan is a small port city along the river.  Today you are able to see much of the original city.  It looks very royal. At the finish line in Lisieux we find the Basilica of St.Thérèse.  Over two million visitors come each year on a pilgrimage looking for favor from God.

Lord, we pray as the millions pilgrimage to Lisieux looking for your favor I pray the find that you are waiting for them to come into a personal relationship, knowing you as their Lord and Savior.  Lord, thank you for the salvation that Jesus has provided us on the cross.  Lord, many are seeking but do the see the salvation you have provided through grace and mercy.  Do they except your love and assurance of their justification through the righteousness of Christ.  We pray that they will see and believe.  We pray in the name of Jesus our Savior.  Amen
