The third day of the Novena in preparation for the Infant Jesus Feast was celebrated with immense devotion and spiritual fervour. The day’s theme, “Faith over fear, Trust over doubt,” inspired the faithful to deepen their reliance on God and find strength in His guidance, especially in times of uncertainty and challenges.

The day began with a strong sense of community as many devotees gathered to participate in the celebrations. Special prayers were offered for entrepreneurs, invoking divine blessings upon their endeavours, resilience, and success. This focus on entrepreneurs reflected the Church’s support for those who contribute to society through innovation, hard work, and dedication.

Today’s nine Holy Masses were celebrated throughout the day in multiple languages: Konkani, Malayalam, English, and Kannada. These services provided an inclusive opportunity for people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds to connect spiritually and seek blessings from Infant Jesus. At noon, the organizers served a sumptuous meal to all devotees who had gathered for the celebrations. This act of hospitality emphasized the spirit of sharing and community, making everyone feel welcome and cared for. The meal was not only nourishing but also an occasion for fellowship among devotees, fostering bonds of unity and love.
