INFANT JESUS FEAST - INAUGURATION AND FLAG HOISTING
The celebrations of the Annual feast of the Infant Jesus (January 5,
2025) was inaugurated on January 01 with the hoisting of the flag of
Infant Jesus at 6:30 p.m. followed by the inaugural Holy Mass and
Eucharistic procession. Fr Oswald Crasta, the rector of the Shrine, led
the faithful into prayer and then hoisted the flag emblazoned with the
image of the Infant Jesus, declaring this great spiritual event open.
The celebrants then proceeded to the altar in procession, for the Holy
Mass in Kannada. Fr Oswald, the main celebrant and preacher of the day,
eloquently introduced the theme of the Feast, "He Loved Us," drawing
inspiration from Pope Francis' recent encyclical, "Dilexit Nos," a
profound reflection on the divine and human love emanating from the
Heart of Jesus Christ. Following the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament was
exposed and then taken in procession all around the campus, blessing the
place and invoking the Lord's protection over all the festivities
planned in the coming days. May the blessings of the Infant Jesus
abundantly grace all our humble endeavours as we strive to honour Him
and share His boundless love with the world.
