Spiritual Reflections From a Priest in the Rockies
On February 11th, our Church celebrates the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes. When St Bernadette was called by Our Lady to dig in the mud to discover a small spring of water, few could have imagined that from this tiny wellspring would millions of pilgrims be inspired to visit this humble French village.
Many have claimed to receive miraculous healings from the waters of Lourdes, both physical cures from cancer and other debilitating diseases to spiritual healings by being delivered from habitual sins or spiritual sadness that prevents someone from persevering in the Christian life.
One young girl's faith that Mary was calling her to share a message of hope that we are loved by the Mother of God has made Lourdes among the greatest pilgrimage sites in the Catholic Church, inviting beleiver and non-believer to know the great peace that reside in that small Pyrenees town.
Lourdes had its humble beginnings with a tiny spring of water that is now the site of a majestic shrine church and millions of visitors to bath in the healing waters of that sanctuary. In a similar way, our new shrine church will have its own small and humble beginnings. We have been blessed with a beautiful new shrine church to be our spiritual home in Canmore, but we still have much need to pray, discern and work together to build the identity of our new shrine church and its mission for the glory of God and the good of others.
May the humble beginnings of Lourdes inspire us in the days to come to go forward in a spirit of meekness and openness to the voice of the Holy Spirit who will not fail to reveal more clearly the works God has in store for us.
In Jesus through Mary,
Fr. Nathan Siray
