Easter Vigil Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral:
Posted On : May. 14, 2017
On 16th April 2017,
we the faithful of cathedral gathered at
11:30 P.M. along with His Excellency Most
Rev. Dr. Poola Anthony. We started our
Easter celebrations by remembering our
Ashes on the forehead and now at this
Easter vigil celebration, the ashes which
were placed on our forehead are “soaked”
with the same Easter water with which we
are Baptized death as no longer claim on
us. We know that God as last word and God’s word for us is the same as his word
for Jesus, who was crucified, died, laid in the tomb and so we do live in Him. Our
Bishop inspired the faithful through his
inspiring message that what we celebrate
this Easter means the Easter fire, the huge
Easter candle (Christ is our light) the
scripture readings remind us to life. The
Easter water (Baptism- “New Life”).The
incense, bells, flowers all sense are
inundated because this message is very
important. Because Christ lives, we live fully
and we experience his promises externally
with him. This is the hope that keeps us
every day’s life effort of one who believes the recreation of our Lord. Soon after the
Easter mass celebration our beloved Bishop along with priests and faithful cut the
Easter cake and doubled our Easter joy and distributed Easter eggs to
