  30th December 2021 THURSDAY, CHRISTMAS OCTAVE   (1 Jn 2: 12-17); (Lk 2: 36-40) "LIFE LIVED IN FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD" Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, today as we have had listened to  the Scared Sacred Scriptures, we are summoned to keep on remembering that this is still presently a part of the Christmas season, and all that we have heard today advised us that God in His consistently suffering and preeminent love for us all have given us the ideal present in Jesus, His most beloved Son, Whom He shipped off the world to be part for our lives, to be the Bridge that carried us nearer to Him and aided in rejoining and accommodating us to Himself. Time after time we have been up to speed in our bustling life plans and overlooked every one of these, disregarding God and His consistently liberal love. Many of us have a very less ideas of prayer, such as the recitation of devotional formulas, novenas. There is much more than this to. Hence, our whole life must be a si...

29th December 2021 WEDNESDAY, CHRISTMAS OCTAVE (1 Jn 2: 3-11); (Lk 2: 22-35) "JESUS CHRIST – THE SELF REVELATION OF GOD" Dear Brethren in Christ, today as we heard to the words of the Scriptures, all of us are called to imitate on the Decree and commandments of God, on what all and every one of us have received through Christ, Our Lord and Savior, all the truth and love that He has revealed us. We have to live our lives honestly and initiate ourselves passionately as a holy people that God had called and favored, and to whom God had sent His own beloved Son, that all of us may be protected through Him. Today we come across in the first reading from the letter of St. John, we perceived the Apostle pressing the faithful to be sincere in their faith, in how they must to be following Christ, in all that He had done during His life. We are all called to be genuine and true witnesses of Christ’s fact and love in our individual communities and humanities. Then, we are no b...

  28th December 2021 TUESDAY, FEAST OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS, MARTYRS                                    (1 Jn 1: 5 - 2: 2); (Mt 2: 13-18) "HOLY INNOCENTS: THEN AND NOW" Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, today we celebrate the  event of the Feast of the Holy Innocents, recollecting the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem, every one of the newborn children matured two and underneath that had been slaughtered by King Herod the Great in his useless actions and endeavors to kill the baby King of Israel, the One Who was prophesized by the prophets to come into this world and Who might administer over people as King. King Herod consequently expected that his standard and power would be taken over from him and his family, and gave over to this new King, and subsequently, he attempted to kill Him regardless. Logically, we can comprehend his activities better assuming that we  ...

  27th December 2021 MONDAY, FEAST OF SAINT JOHN, APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST (1 Jn 1: 1-4); (Jn 20: 1-8) "EUCHARIST IS THE SOURCE OF OUR FELLOWSHIP" Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we all celebrate the  incredible feast of one of the Lord's Twelve Apostles, who turns out to be one of the four extraordinary Evangelists too. St. John the Apostle and Evangelist was one of the two children of Zebedee along with St. James the Apostle, his elder son. With St. Peter and St. Andrew, every one of them were fishermen in the lake of Galilee. They were completely called by the Lord to follow Him, and they left their old calling and their families, promising to the Lord and served Him from that moment. St. John became one of the Lord's nearest teaches, as one of the  Twelve Apostles, and furthermore along with St. Peter and St. James, his brothers, he was regularly brought to the main occasions in the Lord's service, for example, the revival of the gathering place off...

  December, 26 th 2021 "Feast of the Holy Family" ( 1 Sam 1:20-22.24-28); (1 Jn 3:1-2.21-24)  or (Col 3:12-21); (Lk 2:41-52)     Holy Family gives a guide to our advanced world. The pure  connection among Joseph and Mary implies they encountered closeness in various ways through their normal coexistence. Their virtue of mind and heart of shared love for one another and the Son of God is to be sure deserving of impersonation by all families. Devotion to the Holy Family of Nazareth arises in times when the  family becomes debilitated in view of political and cultural tensions. In the archaic period, Jean Gerson, scholar at the Council of Constance (1414-18), urged commitment to the Holy Family, and Pope Leo XIII said that impersonation of the Holy Family would be a way to renew and fortify day to day life. In the third thousand years the establishment of the family by and by endures assaults strategically and socially. Maybe this moment is the most ideal op...

He has shown us His always generous love, empathy and benevolence, and God has never abandoned us. He even gave us generally His main generated Son, that through Him we might be saved and have everlasting life. Today the world is suffering from confusion, fears, injustice, divisions, intolerance, terrorism, wars, misunderstandings, hatred, doubts and all sorts of exploitation. People everywhere are crying. “O! God, where are you, wh...

  23rd December 2021 THURSDAY, FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT (O Emmanuel) (Mal 3: 1-4,23-24);  ( Lk 1: 57-66) "WHAT IS THE PLAN OF GOD FOR OUR CHILD?" In any case, the plan of God in each and every other infant appears to  be uncertain and questionable. It is a direct result of our abandoned relationship with the Lord. The protectors of John also were uncertain however their confidence to consider in their advanced age had given them new expectation and dreams into the existence of John. They just depended upon God's arrangement than all alone. However the way was indistinct their confidence prepared for their children. May the existence of Zachariah and Elizabeth be a motivation to each parent who is restless with regards to the eventual fate of their children. Dear Brethren in Christ, on this day as we are almost at the end of  the Advent season and the beginning of the Christmas celebrations, through what we have heard from the readings of the Holy Scriptures, we are to...

Today we have a great example of St. Joseph a humble servant of God, who adopted Jesus and Mary and played a vital role in the mission of God. He endured all sorts of sufferings and faced various difficulties in order to save the life of Mother Mary and Jesus Christ. As we heard from our first reading today from the Book of the  prophet ...

We should be thankful and feeling very privileged to have been precious in such a way by our loving God, and to have experienced His most wonderful love and grace. God the Father is always merciful and full of compassion towards all humanity, in spite of all our sins, short comings and failures. As He wishes us to return to Him and revive the love that we all should have for Him. The Lord has assured us His salvation, and has consistently  demonstrated His love for us all along, never leaving us even at the times of our most promine...

Monday, 20 th December 2021   “Obedience of Mother Mary ” (Isaiah 7:10-14); (St. Luke 1:26-38) On one hand it is obvious that the Immaculate Virgin Mary became so fortunate to bear the Son of God. On the other hand, our Lady has to admit both fortunes and risk simultaneously on account of the fact, that She being aware that it was unlawful to bear a child in Her situation gave Her ‘fiat’ or ‘Yes’ to God.                             In today’s Gospel we hear about the annunciation to Mary that is only because of her obedience to God, her yes to God. As often the angel Gabriel was sent to people of God. Today also Gabriel is sent to Virgin Mary and what he said to her “Hail Mary full of grace” what was the purpose of this greeting. Because she may recognize her value so many people always feel loneliness like mother Mary there opportunity...
