Renewal Of Our Lady Of Lourdes Church

Church Building - Renewal of OLLC

Parish Priest Speaks:


My dear Parishioner's,

"For the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name"
(Lk. 1:49) Last year onwards, we are specially praying for the permission from BMC for renovation of our 'HOUSE OF GOD', so that we could come together as a 'community of communities', to praise and worship the Lord in a worthy manner. I am happy to share with you that our concerted prayer is answered; the long cherished desire of getting the permission from the BMC is realized. Our prayer is "remove all the obstacles and difficulties on its way of renovating the church. The biggest obstacle, "permission" is removed. Let us thank the Lord from our heart. Now the next difficulty is the 'FINANCE'. I believe, with our Mother and patroness of our parish, Our Lady Of Lourdes, that "nothing is impossible with God" (Lk. 1:37) I request all of you to keep the intention when we continue praying 'for the speedy renewal of our church'.

May the peace and joy dwell with you all!

PRAYER FOR THE SPEEDY RENEWAL OF OUR CHURCH

God, our heavenly Father/ in the past/ your servant, the great King David,/ desired to build a temple for You/ so that Your faithful could gather there to worship You/ and bring sacrifices to You! But the people of Israel/ had to wait till the time of King Solomon/ to have their glorious Temple of Jerusalem,/ according to Your will and plan (lkgs 8:24). With the psalmist we do believe/ that unless "You build the house,/ in vain do its builders labour" (Ps 127:1) And with the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Patroness/ we dare to assert that/ "nothing is impossible with God" (Lk 1:37).

With faith and deep confidence/ we place before you/ our long cherished desire/ for the renewal of our Church. Lord, inspire all the concerned persons in this task/ and instill in them courage and commitment/ to do the needed. Remove all the obstacles and difficulties on its way,/ so that we, Your new people of Israel,/ could come together as 'a community of communities'/ to praise and worship You in a worthy manner,/ in the church renewed according to Your will and plan,/ as soon as possible. We make this prayer through Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ/ and through the intercession of His Mother,/ our Mother and patroness of His Mother,/ our Mother and patroness of our Church,/ Our Lady Of Lourdes. Amen

1 Our Father. 1 Hail Mary. 1 Glory.

Our Lady Of Lourdes, Pray for us.
