Monti Fest celebrated meaningfully

"It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving," said Mother Teresa. It is the divine command given by Jesus to search for him in the humblest of people. It is in them that the Lord abides!

Mary hastened to help Elizabeth in need! Being a poor woman of Nazareth, she saw God’s generosity in giving to others joyfully. Inspired by this, the devotees at Infant Jesus Shrine offered things such as sugar, pulses, grams, oil, flour, peas, snacks, and toiletries, respectively, during the nine days of Novena in preparation to Monti Fest. This initiative taken by the friars of St. Joseph’s Monastery saw an exceptional response when the faithful provided in large amounts.

Thus, in response to the promise that these gifts would be delivered to those in need, they were distributed to different places. On the first day, things were distributed to the Cammelian Sisters and Fathers at Gurpur, where HIV+ kids are housed. On the second day, the rest was distributed to Snehalaya, De Mercede Orphanage, White Doves, and Shalom Trust Kadri.
Thus, only in giving do we receive!

Our happiness knew no bounds when we received grateful smiles and generous prayers. May the spirit of Christian charity prevail and may God be glorified forever!
