Although not included in the story I am linking to, it is said that when Notre Dame University suffered a catastrophic fire in 1879, that the founder, Fr. Sorin walked around the ruins and said to the assembled students and faculty that Mary must have wanted them to think bigger and that they must have given her a university that was too small. He then told them to show up the next morning to help start the rebuilding.

Maybe St. Sava wants a bigger and better church to better serve and honor the Lord!

Isaiah 66 New International Version (NIV)

66 This is what the Lord says:

“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.
