Mangaluru, Jan 7: The theme of the second day of Novena was a gift of peace between all religions. The Holy Eucharist started at 6 am.
Fr Ivan, Fr Patrick, Fr Clifford, Fr Archibald, Fr Joy, Fr Arun and Fr John Lobo celebrated the mass.
Respect for various religions and their traditions was emphasized upon. Peace is the result of mutual acceptance. Society will grow beautifully only when we accept others without any discrimination or entertain any biased ideas. All the preachers stressed openness in our relationship with others. The whole world can be compared to a flower bouquet. Each religion is a fragrant flower. Only when many different flowers are brought together then beauty is visible in a flower bouquet. Therefore, it is important to accept and respect all.
