Mangaluru, Jun 8: 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 on the ninth day of novena.
The theme of the day was respecting parents.
"Parents represent God on earth. They have given birth to us and without expecting anything in return have loved us and raised us. What we are today 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. If they have left for eternity let us pray that the Almighty grant eternal rest to them. We also should follow their values to keep them alive in our life," Fr D’Souza said.
Fr Roshan D’Souza the assistant director conducted the novena.
