Prayer
Lord Jesus,
You dwell among us in this parish family.
Though we are not perfect, help us to make our parish a true home for all - a place of welcome, peace and renewal.
Cleanse our hearts and fill us with your spirit, so that everyone who worships at
Our Lady of Lourdes Rivonia,
may know and feel that God truly dwells here.
Amen
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
“I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there for ever"
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
Dear Parishioners and Friends of the Parish
As we honour the Lateran Basilica, which is the mother Church of all Catholics, let us take this moment to give thanks for our own parish, which is a visible sign of God’s Love in this part of the world. Our Parish worshipping community may not be perfect - not that we will ever find a perfect parish. However, let us always strive to make our parish a place for all, a place where everyone can feel welcome, accepted and loved, keeping in mind that when we open our hearts to one another, the Lord truly dwells among us.
Let us ask the Lord to cleanse and renew the temple of our hearts, so that His Spirit may flow through us like the river from Ezekiel’s vision, bringing life, healing and joy wherever we go.
May our parish continue to be a place of unity, welcome and renewal, where every person who enters can say, “ Truly God dwells here”
With every Blessing
