Nine Days Novenas in Honor of BVM, at Irla Mumbai

This is for the second time that I preached 9 days Novenas after the gap of 22 years....It was different then and now....the themes were different but the Person about whom I preached is the same " Our Heavenly Mother Mary"...nine days to speak about her on various themes is a big challenge...you need a lot of prayer and above all you need to have a strong and deep relationship with Our Blessed Mother....a devotee expects a lot of personal experiences....

 OLV at Irla is as old as 50years of devotion....the PIME fathers are running the parish and the sanctuary...people from all walks of life come here....seeing their faith and devotion to Jesus and Mother Mary makes religious and priests to think about our own faith....People come in large numbers from all over Mumbai and suburbs ....two days the Mass was at 5am and even early morning we had a large number of devotees gathered for Mass and Novena.....

 I am spiritually renewed and my devotion to Mother Mary has increased....the devotees of mother Mary has taught me big lessons on spirituality, faith and what it means to be a devotee.....
