Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Mercy Grotto
Sekincau, West Lampung, Indonesia
June 18, 2026
We came to West Lampung as part of our ministry and business mission through Miora. This journey was not only about work and building a better future, but also about serving others, encouraging people, and becoming a blessing wherever God sends us.
That morning, we woke up early and at 5:00 AM set out for Our Lady of Mercy Grotto (Gua Maria Bunda Kerahiman) in Sekincau, West Lampung. The cold mountain air did not discourage us. Instead, it strengthened our desire to visit this sacred place, pray, and give thanks to God.
The grotto was only about ten minutes from where we were staying. When we arrived, the main gate of the complex was still closed, so we parked our car outside and walked toward the grotto. Yet even before entering, we already felt a sense of peace and anticipation in our hearts.
Michael and I then lit candles and prayed before the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the silence of the early morning, we entrusted our lives, our family, our ministry, and our future into God's loving hands through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
We also took time to pray the Rosary together. With every prayer, our hearts were strengthened in faith, hope, and love. We truly believe that this pilgrimage was not a coincidence, but a special invitation from God and the Blessed Virgin Mary for us to draw closer to Him.
It was a beautiful spiritual experience and a precious blessing from God. We came in simplicity, prayed in silence, and returned with hearts filled with peace, gratitude, and renewed strength for the journey ahead.
Thank You, Lord, for this grace-filled pilgrimage.
Blessed Mother Mary, pray for us.
May God bless us all ❤️
