Thursday, 24 January 2008

Lima (Agenzia Fides) -Santa Rosa of Lima parish in the city of Lima has opened a new chapel for Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Special prayers will include reparation for sins due to abortion all over the world and, as part of a world campaign of prayer to support priests promoted by the Congregation for the Clergy, prayers to sustain priests.
“We felt the need of a special Chapel for Perpetual Adoration in our parish in order to adore the Lord day and night- said parish priest Fr Hugo Berrío -. Secondly we wish to offer prayers of reparation for the many sins committed all over the world. Thirdly because our parish is a community with a profound love for Our Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament. And people come here to pray from other parts of the capital”.
The Santa Rosa of Lima Chapel of Adoration is the third of its kind in the archdiocese of Lima: the other two are in Our Lady of Joy parish and in Santa Maria of Nazareth” Surquillo parish. In the whole area there are about 55 chapels for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament encouraged by Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani on the occasion of the Year of the Eucharist (2004-2005).
Work to build the Santa Rosa Chapel began on 16 August 2007. "All together the parish has 169 groups which spend an hour every week in front of the Blessed Sacrament, and a total number of 1,170 persons who pray. Many other people spend time at the chapel during the day ”, says Fr Berrío, who hopes devotion to the Blessed Sacrament will be ever more fervent in his parish.
