Update: The image of Jesus welcoming all at Mirador Hill has already been completed in time for 11 February 2008, the fiesta of Our Lady of Lourdes and World Day of the Sick. The landscaping and planting of flowering plants are still under way but thanks to the generosity of donors we are proceeding slowly but surely transforming the Grotto into a prayer center.
The next stage of this project is construction of an outdoor Stations of the Cross, which will follow a quiet and steep penitential path from the base of the hill to the Shrine to Jesus. Generous donors are needed for the Stations of the Cross. It is estimated that each station will cost about 7,000 pesos.
"One cannot contemplate Mary without being attracted by Christ and one cannot look at Christ without immediately perceiving the presence of Mary." Pope Benedict XVI, Address for the 16th World Day of the Sick, Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes.
