St Antony’s Ashram Jeppu holds ninth day of novena

Mangaluru, June 08: Rev. Fr Francis D’Souza the Spiritual director of St Joseph Seminary Jeppu offered the Holy Mass and preached a homily at St Anthony’s Ashram Jeppu on the ninth day of novena. The theme of the day was: respecting parents. Parents are representing God on earth. They have given birth to us and without expecting in return have loved us and raised us up. If we are today what we are it is because of our parents. We can’t repay their debt. The only thing that we can do to our parents is, if they are alive we must love them and take care of them. And if they have left for eternity let us pray that the Almighty may grant eternal rest to them. We also should live their values to keep them alive in our life, Fr D’Souza said.   

Fr Roshan D’Souza the Asst Director conducted the novena.
