Service- the sign of committed life. Once Mother Theresa visited the poor home in America. There she saw pale faces and looking at them she asked the in charge,  see that here these people get everything but why they look like this and gaze to the door. replying to her question she said they get everything accept one thing that is no love from their children. Let us make an decision in our life to give service in our life. The outside symbol of each christian is service and without that we do not have existence so let us take the example of our patron saint Lawrence said Rev Fr Nelson D’Almeida the parish priest of Jeppu in his homily while celebrating the evening novena mass. Rev Fr Andrew Dsouza, Rev Fr Charles con celebrated. The Choir group from Bejai parish helped the devotees to pray better with the melodies singing.
