Word Became flesh at Pushpashrama
December 24, 2016 as the clock crossed number 11 the brothers of Pushpashrama through their angelic voice sang the Christmas carols which enabled the faithful to experience the joy of baby Jesus in the silent moments of the night. The solemn Eucharistic celebration of the Nativity of our Lord initiated at 11-30pm at the beautiful illuminated shrine of the Infant Jesus, Mysore. Fr Vijay D’ Costa, the Shrine pastor presided over the festal mass along with the community friars and Fr Alphonse Britto from Dhyanavana. Fr Oswald Crasta unraveled the mystery of the Incarnation in his inspirational and scriptural homily. The liturgy was evocatively systematized by the brothers of Pushpashrama. After the spiritual celebration all the faithful assembled at the ingress of the shrine where the brothers conducted housie games and meantime Santa Caluse greeted all the people with Christmas wishes. The prizes were distributed to all the winners and all the faithful were given the Christmas cakes. Thus it was a solemn celebration at the Infant Jesus shrine as we celebrated the birthday of Jesus Christ.
