Mangaluru, Jun 7: Fr Anil Alfred D’Souza the director of Diocesan Family Life Center offered the Holy Mass and preached a homily at St Anthony’s Ashram, Jeppu on the seventh day of the novena.
The theme of the day was praying for the married couples. "These days there is a steady rise in divorces and separations. This is not a healthy development. There are various reasons for this phenomenon. But one among them is a lack of patience and adjustment. Married life does not become successful on its own. It has to be made successful by the couple through adjustment," he said.
Fr D’Souza called on the devotees to pray for the couples through the intercession of St Anthony.
Fr Roshan D’Souza the assistant director conducted the novena.
