Marian Pilgrimage Diary: Day 5
Day 5: Let Rivers Of Love Flow Out Of Your Life
From
From Loyola in
Our Mass was at a convent near our hotel. But Fr. Joseph Skelton had to do a 30-minute Sunday Mass (I’ve never seen him do that!) as another pilgrim group from

I later learned that
What makes them come to
Because in 1858, a poor girl named Bernadette saw Mary in a Grotto. This young visionary would see Mary for a total of 18 times. This visitation would change
Today, I observe the thousands of pilgrims around me. All are sick. Physically. Spiritually. And all are filling up their water bottles with the healing water from the Grotto, drinking, washing, and blessing themselves and their friends.
This sight causes me to cry. Because 150 years ago, in one of those 18 apparitions, Mary told Bernadette to “drink from the spring”. But there was no spring around her. So the young girl dug the soil beneath the grotto—and saw only mud. But she kept on digging, until clear spring water came out.
Since that first trickle 150 years ago, the miraculous waters continue to flow at the rate of 122,000 liters an hour! It rages with abundance—like God’s wild river of love for you.
Isn’t this a perfect picture of your life?
You were once but dirt.
And your sins remind you of your origin.
But your life, what was once dirt and mud, can now become a powerful river of healing for millions of people.
How?
By allowing God to use you to bless the world.
Friends, let your life be a pilgrimage site for others.
When you love others genuinely, from the heart, I’ve discovered that many thirsty people will come to you. They will drink deeply from the stream of healing, flowing out of your life.
Love, my friends.
And the world will be healed.

Dear Bro Bo,
It’s me Bro JIMMY CRUZ of SINGAPORE.
There was a song
“As the deer panteth for the water
so my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart’s desire and
I long to worship Thee.”
We were like that deer, Thirsty and Hungry
Wandering around, looking for Water to satisfy its
needs. We were like that deer Tired and Exhausted
looking for someone who will take care and love him.
We have tried so many avenues thinking that the road to
happiness and the boulevard of love can be found in
any place….
WHERE IS LOVE???
This is the screamed of an UNLOVE PERSON. This is the
battlecry of a LOST HUMAN BEING…..
Who is the Source of Love?
We are all sinners but God does not see our sinfulness.
God does not see our past painful experiences. Any
person who humble before God can be healed by God.
That person will experience the love of God. And that
Love will remain in us and God want to use us to
spread the Love that God had given to us….. We are
not useless.
God let us experience the worst moments in our lives
so as we may know that God is the Greatest Lover
in the Universe and that we can share the ABUNDANCE
FLOW OF BLESSINGS OF LOVE to all those people in
need…
Thanks be to God. As I shared in Day 4 of the Pilgrimage
God loves me even I was a SINNER before. God changed
me to propagate God’s Love to the ends of the World.
God bless
Bro Jimmy Cruz (Singapore)
watching the episode, it has really fueled my desire to one day go on a Marian Pilgrimage. I pray that God will grant me my wish. I feel so blessed, just watching! And I love the song, “stay with me Maria.”
God bless!
