Maundy Thursday observed at Bajjodi
Bajjodi, Apr 13: It is on Holy Thursday that Jesus had his last supper with his apostles and so it is a day of Eucharist, a day of Priesthood and a day of love because Jesus calls us to do what he has done, to serve others for he had said I have come not to be served but to serve.
Infant Mary Church, Bajjodi celebrated the Holy Thursday with great preparation and meaning. The solemn mass was held at 6:30 pm. Parish Priest Fr Shabas Crasta was the Main Celebrant and concelebrated by Asst. Priest Fr Ivan D’Souza. A Large number of people participated in the Eucharistic celebration. Fr Ivan D’Souza broke the Word of God for the faithful. He highlighted on the Priesthood of Christ, the supreme high priest who once and for all offered a sacrifice of Himself for our redemption. He also gave a call to relive the Eucharistic mystery, to pray for priests and for vocations in the church.
After the Eucharistic celebration, there was adoration till midnight in which people took an active part.
