Fr Maxey D’Costa was the main celebrant for the high mass. In his homily, Fr Salvador Gomes Coutinho stressed on the life of Jesus Christ and urged people to embrace his teachings. He also requested people to carry their daily crosses of life with love and patience, say the Rosary and attend mass.
Fr Salvador added, “We are called to the cross to gain wisdom and understand the power of forgiveness and mercy.”
The Miraculous Cross feast also coincides with the feast of Rosa Mystica.
