News & Pics : Mr John Menezes, Moodbidri

Sep.1: Today 1st  September and the 3rd day of Nativity Novena.  Rev. Fr. Henry celebrated the Holy Mass at 6.45 a.m.  with church full of crowd being a holiday for Ganesh Chaturthi. Many Children came with   basket  and plate  full of flowers of different colours.

Today’s word of God -“ Believe in the word  of God and ask  and it will be given to you-“

If we believe in the word of Jesus and pray for our needs He will definitely grant us.  Also when we believe the presence of Jesus in our life, we will realize our sinfulness and ask for His mercy.  Like we see our shadow when we are in Sun, we will see our sin when we are in Jesus.  Jesus calls all of us to follow the path of truth and He will reward us overfull like He overfilled the boat with fish for Peter.  So, we keep Jesus in our life and believe in His word and our life will be abundantly  full  with more than what we need.

While honouring Mother Mary let us go with Mary following Jesus and also guide our children to follow Jesus.

After the mass  children and adults took part in the  ‘ flower offering ceremony”  while singing  “ Mariek Hogalsiyan” in the church veranda and the Novena Prayer.  Cake and Malpuri sweets were distributed to all present for the novena.

Oh Mother Mary, help us to keep Jesus with us, like you did and be our mother.
