THE PALM SUNDAY AT PUSHPASHRAMA
“The King of Glory comes, the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him lift up their voices.”
These Words were reverberated on March 25, 2018 in
the entire Christendom as the Church prepared itself to step into the
holiest week of Christianity initiated by The Palm Sunday. The Shrine of
Infant Jesus also participated into this practice by organizing the mass
at 8:00 AM. The blessing of the Palms and the Invitatory Rite were held
at Dhyanavana, our neighboring house in the presence of a large group of
faithful, lay and religious alike. All the faithful marched devoutly,
commemorating the glorious event of the entry of Jesus to the city of
Jerusalem. Soon after this, followed the holy Eucharistic celebration
presided by Fr. Vinod Lobo which was concelebrated by the Community
priests along with guest priests, Fr. Rovel D’Souza OCD and Fr. Gilbert
Aranha. Fr Pradeep Pinto through his inspiring homily enabled the
faithful to ponder on the passion of our Lord. The solemn mass was
beautifully harmonized with the wonderful voices lent out by the
Brothers of Pushpashrama. The Church was also packed to the full, yet
extra chairs were brought in continuously to accommodate the people. The
mass came to an end at 9:30 after which the people went to their houses
thus to prepare themselves for the coming holy days of their faith.
