Confession in Preparation for Christmas

17 Dec

@St. Thomas Forane Church, Dharmaram Confession, in preparation for Christmas, is arranged on Sunday,17th December 2017 from 7.00 AM to 12.00 noon and from 5.30 PM to 7.00 PM. All are earnestly requested to make their confession in preparation for Christmas. There is an intimate connection between the Sacrament of the Eucharist and Confession. By making confession properly, we cleanse our heart and soul and consequently we receive Jesus with greater purity of heart and the graces are more abundant. Jesus reminds us in the Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are the pure of heart, they will see God.” (Mt. 5:8) Hence, let us purify our heart and soul and be filled with the love of God, and in turn love each other. May the Baby Jesus born in our hearts radiate His love and mercy to our family and friends! Merry Christmas!!!
