Mount St Joseph, Sept 8, 2022: The 9 days of creative novena prayers by the novices and the senior Jesuits added rich essence to the commemoration of the Nativity of Mother Mary.
The novices collaborated with the laity in reaching the higher notes and meddling with the lower ones to provide an experience of a mellifluous choir to the faithful gathered at the Eucharist.
The tradition of the coastal belt of Karnataka, that is to have a festal meal as one family, sitting on the floor and eating from the banana leaf, was memorable. The novices were indeed delighted to help out in serving the delicious vegetarian meal. It was a boon for the novices as they were relieved from doing the scullery.
We sang in unison ‘Laudate Omnes Gentes’, bearing in mind the graces received through our Lady. The novices had a splendid time as they shared their consolations with their parents over the phone.
A creative rosary was conducted by Nov Royal R K and Nov Princeton D’Souza to mark the enchantment of the day and to enhance the love for our Lady.
