BHINGAR-AHMEDNAGAR,OCTOBER 12,2012 : Twenty five couples participated in the Sunday Marathi Mass celebration of Couple’s Day in St. John the Baptist Church, Bhingar .
At the beginning of the ceremony, after the procession, the oldest forty year old married couple, Virginia and Tony Nero were invited to sit in the wedding space and were garlanded. This significant occasion was celebrated on the Nuptial Theme, of the Sunday Readings.
The animation was done on October, the month of the Rosary, the homily was preached on the sacrament of marriage by the Parish Priest, Fr. Nelson Falcao. The post communion prayer recited by all was thanks giving for God’s gift of Marriage.
In the middle of Ordinary Sundays, the wisdom of the Church invites all the faithful to reflect on the ordinary privilege and responsibility of the quality of discipleship expected of the Married Couple. Aware of the special way of being a disciple through the Marriage vocation and lifestyle, Holy Mother the Church places this nuptial liturgy right in the middle of the Ordinary time of the year for the sake of those ninety nine percent of the hierarchical church who are committed to living their marriage spirituality.
In the evening English Mass, after Communion, a ‘prayer for marriage’ was recited by all.
