April 13, 2017: The faithful of Nirmalapadav Parapady gathered around the Eucharistic table of the Lord for the Maundy Thursday celebration at 6.00 p.m. Rev. Fr Chetan Lobo OFM, the editor of Uzwad Fortnightly magazine of the diocese of Udupi presided over the ceremony. The importance of becoming humble for service and love is the need of todays society was highlighted during the preaching.
Jesus became a servant by washing the feet of the disciples and this example of Jesus needs to be continued by every follower of Him. Thus we become the true christians in the present day. To serve we need to rise from our ego, superiority, and vices, and to love we need to become human. The Eucharist, priesthood and service must go together. We all participate in this mission and this needs to be celebrated everyday in our families, wards and church.
