Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” Eph : 6:2-3
Today we celebrate the Parents’ day. The feast of St Anne and Joachim, the parents of our dear mother Mary. To all the parents listening to us, warm greetings and blessings. Let long life be your reward.
With a grateful heart, we praise and thank the Lord for the gift of our parents. We tasted God’s love first time through our parents. We are inspired by the example of Jesus our Lord, who even from the Cross took care of his mother Mary and entrusted her care to his favorite disciple. Jesus showed his love for his mother until the end. This Sunday is a Sunday of gratefulness celebrating the unconditional love of our parents as Jesus did.
