‘ಹೊರಗೆ ಶೃಂಗಾರ, ಒಳಗೆ ಬಂಗಾರ’ | Sermon by Bishop Leslie Dsouza | 15-09-2026

On the occasion of the Feast of Mother of Sorrows, Patroness and Titular of Udupi Church, Most Rev. Dr. Leslie Clifford Dsouza, Bishop of Udupi Diocese, shares an inspiring and thought-provoking reflection through his homily, “ಒಳಗೆ ಶೃಂಗಾರ, ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂಗಾರ.” Through the celebration of Mother Mary as *Our Lady of Sorrows*, we are reminded of Mary’s deep faith, unwavering trust, humility, and courage in the midst of suffering. Her life teaches us to remain faithful to God even during moments of pain, uncertainty, and sacrifice. Bishop Leslie Dsouza invites us to reflect on our own relationship with God and learn from Mother Mary’s example of steadfast faith and loving surrender to God’s will. Her sorrows remind us that suffering, when united with faith and trust in God, can become a path of hope and grace. May this homily inspire you to deepen your faith, renew your trust in God, and follow the example of Mother Mary with greater love, courage, and dedication in our daily lives. 📖 Feast of Mother of Sorrows – Patroness & Titular of Udupi Church 🎙️ Sermon by Most Rev.
