Infant Jesus Feast: Second Day of the Triduum
January 4, 2019 – Today being the second day of the novena in honour of the feast of Infant Jesus, the devotees of the Infant Jesus were enlightened on the theme “challenges to Holiness”. There were three masses in different languages. Fr. Oswald Crasta celebrated the English mass; Fr Irudaya Raj celebrated the Tamil mass and Fr Dominic Vas celebrated the Kannada mass. All the preachers educated the devotees on the various challenges that come on the path to holiness in line with the document by Pope Francis – “Rejoice and be Glad”. The creative liturgy by the brothers of Pushpashrama and the melodious singing enabled the devotees to raise their hearts and minds to God. Today being the first Friday of the month, Fr Oswald Crasta conducted the adoration with the special prayer service for the sick. After the adoration the devotees were anointed with the holy oil and the food was served to all.
