KOHIMA: Along with the rest of the world, St. Francis de Sales (SFS) parish Kohima town celebrated Mother’s Day at the church premises on Sunday. Delivering his homily as the main celebrant during one of the Eucharistic celebrations, Rev. Fr. Mhabemo Mathew said they were observing the occasion to celebrate for all those innumerable times when “we were rescued by the heart of a loving mother.” Fr. Mathew made reference to the farewell discourse of Jesus during the Last Supper during which He told the apostles, “If you love me, keep my commandments,” which meant listening to his word and putting into practice.

Celebrating the Eucharist on the occasion, Rev. Fr. Alex Gwatilo Tep, assistant priest of SFS parish, in his sermon said praying for the death has been in practice even before the comings of Jesus, despite the fact that many think that prayer for the death was brought by Catholicism or Christianity. “It is holy and wholesome thought to pray for the death that they made be free from their sins,” he said while making a reference from the Bible. Fr. Tep stated in many Naga tribal culture, there is a belief that the deaths are still living in some far-off places and that they visit people during festivals; because of which people still have the practice of leaving their share of food in the graveyard.
