Glimpses of the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima  at Fatima Church Karjat on 13th October,2024

 

Tridum in preparation for the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. 3rd Day : Wednesday 11th Oct.

Liturgy was Animated by St. Our Lady of Fatima Community, Karjat.

5.30 pm Rosary with Intercession

6.00 pm Holy Mass Celebrated by Rev. Father. Father reflected on our  Lady’s call for sharing and service. The Lord has grace of worldly riches to some to be used for the service of other, by sharing and helping the needy. But in todays world there are very few people who share this.  They presume that they are lucky and blessed and the Lord has given it to enjoy for themselves.

Little do they know that the riches they have will not be taken by them at their death.

Mary who was filled with Grace by God, shared this grace to all humanity, and she still tries and comes in dreams and apparitions to save the world and to save people who invoke her help.

After Holy Mass, we had fellowship treat contributed by Fatima Community, and also discussed on the preparation for the feast day.

Rev, Fr. Diago Fernandes, SFX, Karjat was the main celebrant.

5.30 Rosary

6.30 Holy Mass – Celebrated by Fr. Diago. Father, reflected on the topic of Service and sharing, he started with an anecdote of a rich woman and her poor tenants and reflected on the life of our Beloved mother, whom willing said yes to the Angel Gabriel and then immediately took off to her cousin Elizabeth who was expecting John the Baptist, even though Mother was herself expecting our Lord, she rushed to serve Elizabeth, which shows her selflessness and commitment to serve.

Then at Canaa where the wine was empty she did not hesitate to call on Jesus, as she knew that her Lord would listen to her intercession. Our Beloved Mother was the mediator for the Wedding feast host, in the same way, we can trust on her and  request our petitions and she will ask our Lord and he will definately listen and accept our petitions and give us the best what we need.

Also at the Cross she stood in agony seeing her son be tortured and killed, but yet she knew that this would suffering would bring salvation to the world.

After Holy Mass we had our Fellowship treat, where tasty cake was distributed by the Community of St. Francis Xavier.

Fr. Clifford preached a beautiful homily on the colorful Rosary displayed around Our Lady , depicting how her life was colorful, not as we interpret as todays colorful life, but the life of Humility, Chastity, and Righteousness with God. She obeyed God and followed his will.

She asks us to pray the Rosary everyday, which will help us to protect and keep us safe from  them prowling lion who is waiting to devour us.
