Musical Opera ‘PUT TU, MHOZO!’ by Fr. Simon D’ Cunha and Nagoa Parishioners to be staged all over Goa from 18th November 2026.
Put Tum, Mhozo explores the everyday struggles of family life. Misunderstandings and disagreements between a husband and wife can grow into bigger problems, sometimes leading to separation. In the process, children often become innocent victims and suffer the most.
When faced with pain, loneliness and disappointment, we sometimes turn to worldly pleasures and vices in search of comfort. We forget that God’s Grace is always with us. He longs for our time, our love and our presence, yet we often fail to respond to His call.
Through a portrayal of modern family life, this operetta draws a parallel with the Biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son. It reminds us of God’s unconditional love, mercy and forgiveness. No matter how far we drift away, He is always waiting to welcome us back.
The operetta conveys an important message: the Bible offers guidance and solutions to the challenges we face in life. Instead of turning to harmful ways to escape our problems, we must learn to surrender our worries and burdens to Jesus, trust in His Word and allow His love to guide us.
