I heard very long ago that the scenery is excellent
on
Mount-Royal. It is a pure land, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The
view on the viewing platform is very wide. From the top of the mountain, the
myriad views of the city of Montreal and the St. Lawrence River will be in full
view. But as I stood on the viewing platform, the weather was late in Montreal.
Mount-Royal has a charm at night.

Saint Joseph’s Oratory
Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal (French:
Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and
national shrine on Westmount Summit in Montreal, Quebec. It is Canada's largest
church and the twenty-seventh largest church building in the world.
A small rain in early summer, dark blue sky was dark
clouds enveloped, the mysterious and holy cloud of a church built on the mountain.
Standing on the top platform, the city of Montreal looms over the clouds, the
stars little bit, the wind blows rain on the face, very cool, very calm.
In the early years, there was a priest, who was named
Andre who treated people with legs disease in this church. He has cured many
people with disabilities, who have left their crutches here after being cured,
so the church is filled with thousands of crutches. In order to remember Andre
priest, people donated money to build the Saint Joseph's Oratory in
Mount-Royal. It started in 1924 and completed in 1965.
