Shrine News

By Br. Nithin Monteiro SJ

What a wonderful day it is to welcome the pilgrims from Bangalore. A Holy Tour organized by Namo Maria Tours brought a hundred and more pilgrims to the Shrine of Harihar Matha on 06 October 2018. The pilgrims arrived with great enthusiasm and faith to receive the grace of God through the intercession of Harihar Matha. In spite of the sultry weather and the scorching sun, the pilgrims walked all the way to the Original Site of the Miracle, reciting Rosary and praising the Lord for his wonderful deeds in their lives. Fr Lourdu Swamy, the Asst. Parish Priest guided the pilgrims to the site. Fr Anthony Peter, Rector of the Shrine, gave a brief history of the shrine and shared some reflections on the occasion.

The pilgrims then took a walk to the banks of the river Tunga Bhadra. As soon as we finished the prayers and reached the Church, we were blessed with cool showers easing the heat for the day. Many call the flash showers a coincidence, but as for me, it shall remain in my memory as a Faith Experience, the pouring down of God's Blessings.
