Christians Celebrate Christmas with Sharing and Caring

Mangaluru: The Christmas-eve mass was held in all the parishes in the district on December 24, to celebrate the birth of Jesus who was born in a manger.

At Rosario Cathedral, there was the singing of carols from 6:30 pm followed by the mass at 7:30 pm. The festive mass was celebrated by the Bishop of Mangaluru Dr Peter Paul Saldanha along with the Parish Priest Fr J B Crasta and assistant parish priests.

In his homily, Bishop Dr Peter Paul said, “Jesus was born in a manger and we Catholics believe it. Jesus came into this world to save us from our sins, forgive and love us. He did not come to the world to curse us. Jesus chose poverty. Those who destroy others’ property, those doing injustice to others should repent and follow the path of Jesus. Whenever we say, he or she, we are dividing but when the thought “We” comes to our mind and that “We” all are one there will be peace. We the followers of Jesus should live in peace and harmony and be the examples in the society”.

After the mass, Bishop Dr Peter Paul cut the Christmas cake followed by the entry of Santa and Housie housie. The Bishop wished all the people of the diocese a very happy Christmas.
