Infant Jesus Feast: First Day of the Triduum
“Rejoice and be glad – Call to holiness” - this being the theme of
the grand feast of Infant Jesus on the 6th of January, the ball was set
rolling for the intense spiritual preparation of the same. On the first
day of Triduum i.e. on the 3rd of January, mass was held at 5: 00 PM in
Tamil, followed by masses in Kannada and English. The new flag was
hoisted at 5: 00 PM by Fr. Iruduaya Raj who also celebrated the Tamil
Mass. The Kannada mass was celebrated and preached by Fr. Jeevan Tauro
OCD and the English mass by Fr. Ashwin D’Silva OCD. The theme that was
reflected on this day was ‘Call to Holiness’ – based on the Papal
Encyclical “Gaudate et Exultate” by Pope Francis. The faithful who had
gathered in large numbers were anointed with the holy oil and food /Annasantarpane
was served to everyone after the mass. May the Infant Jesus bless all
the devotees and well wishes of our Shrine!
