During the homily, Fr Varghese reminded everyone, especially the Acolytes, to offer themselves to God as spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to Him through Jesus Christ and to have genuine love for the mystical body of Christ, the people of God. He exhorted them to become the body of Christ broken for others and blood of Christ shed for others in their lives and thus live faithfully the Ministry they have received.
