RAKSHA BANDHAN
Raksha Bandhan literally means “safety” and “bond”, Raksha Bandhan celebrates the unique bond between a brother and his sister. The festival is observed on the full-moon day or Purnima in the Hindu calendar month of Shravan.On this day, sisters tie a thread, or the rakhi, on the wrist of their brothers. This depicts the unconditional faith the sister has in her brother. She also prays for his long life. The brothers also offer their sisters gifts and sweets. Sweet dishes are cooked at home and all family members wear new clothes.
SCRIPTURE READING
A reading from the gospel of St John chapter 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
POEM
Rakhi Day is a Righteous Day
by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
This full moon day our hearts are in brim
Feeling of faith and serenity in mind.
We light the lamps and our hears glow
Radiance of happiness and peace are in flow.
Harmonious homes are like streams of joy
Flowing and flourishing the landscape en route.
Nobility in heart and character in deed
Righteous homes alone make a beautiful State.
Sisters will tie the thread on the brothers
Abiding them to do only what is right and clean.
Put the Kumkum and blessed rice on the head
Where will dwell right thoughts and noble action.
PRAYER
Let us join our hands and bow our heads in prayer.
God of Goodness, I come into your presence and I’m overwhelmed by your love for me.
I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there. Teach me today to love you more.
This prayer we make in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Let us continue by saying the LORD’S PRAYER together.
