9th Day of Novena (Sept 7)

Monday 7th  September 2015 : Today the 9th and last day of the novena. Children and people came with basket and plateful of flowers to shower on Infant Mary ending the Novena to celebrate the Nativity feast tomorrow. 

Thought for the day: Mary teaches children to respect parents (elders)    

Message:  Honour your father and mother 

Special  Intention: To pray for elders

ವಿಷಯ್: ಮರಿ ಭುಗ್ರ್ಯಾಂನಿ ವ್ಹಡಿಲಾಂಕ್ ವಿಧೇಯ್ ಜಾಂವ್ಕ್ ಶಿಕಯ್ತಾ.

ಸಂದೇಶ್: ಮಾಯ್ ಬಾಪಾಕ್ ಮ್ಹಾನ್ ದಿ

ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ್ ಇರಾದೊ: ವ್ಹಡಿಲಾಂ ಖಾತಿರ್ ಮಾಗೊಂಕ್ 

Parents take care of the children and do all sacrifices to bring them up.  So it is totally justifying and duty of all children, to listen to their advice and instructions of elders to become good citizens of God’s kingdom.  We should not forget  to take care of them when they are old as they become helpless due to their weakness.  This way we will honour our father-mothers. Obedience to parents and elders is what Mary teachers us. Let us pray specially for the elders today. 

After mass, flower showering ceremony took place near the grotto followed by novena prayer. Sweets were distributed to all present.

 “Mother Mary teach us to appreciate what our parents do for us and be grateful to them with our love & obedience”
