​​40 Hours of Adoration in Margao Monastery
40 hrs of continuous adoration at the Carmelite monastery Margao is a time of prayer and encounter with the Lord. This year as it is dedicated to the divine mercy the theme for the adoration was “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful” (Lk6:36). The Eucharistic adoration began on the 25th of February, with the solemn Eucharistic celebration and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament by Rev. Fr. Socorro Mendes the coordinator for the year of mercy for the diocese of Goa and Daman. Fr. Socorro invited the faithful to adore the Lord with one sole desire that is, ‘to become merciful as the heavenly Father.’ He also appreciated the Carmelite fathers for their generous contribution in the ministry of confessions in the arch diocese.

‘It has been a celebration of faith’ was a comment by some of the faithful who spent many hours in prayer adoring the Lord during these 40 hrs. For some it was also a time of renewal and change.
