WONDERING GURU
11th February
It’s the feast day of our Lady of Lourdes. Have you ever wondered what’s so special about this place in France?
Being there twice I have observed…
• The hospitality of the people specially the taxi drivers and the volunteers.
• The beautiful rosary procession every Saturday in different languages even Indian.
• The care of the sick and the disabled.
• The chilling experience of the dip in the spring water for healing.
• The simple yet beautiful grotto of Mary
• The Ave Maria words in various ancient languages even in Tamil carved on the rock of the grotto.
• The beautiful Marian shrine symbolizing extended arms and the underground huge church to cater to thousands of pilgrims.
• Last but not the least the amazing cold weather which compels you to extend your stay there.
When Mary intervenes here on earth it is always an awesome memorable experience. Thank you Mother Mary for loving us and interceding on our behalf. We are eternally grateful to you.
Happy Feast my dear friends.
You are spiritually great, every word you preach helps us .
