let us follow child Jesus of Bethlehem, imitate his virtues and make life
pleasing to God and Men. Jesus said, unless you become like children, you cannot
enter the kingdom of heaven. Likewise, we need to be open and receptive, just
like little children, who don’t have barriers of any caste, creed and religion.
We need to learn from children and live a life of faith, imitating the life of
Jesus. Unless we become like child Jesus, who accepted everything in gratitude,
we cannot enter the kingdom of heavenâ€, he stated.
On the occasion, games
were conducted for the staff and their families and winners were awarded
prizes.
Priests of the
management, Management committee members, Advisory committee members, staff and
their family members witnessed the entire celebration. Later, dinner was served
