Dearly beloved in Christ,
Praise be to the Triune God and greetings and good wishes to you dear all in
the matchless name of our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .
As we are stepping through the Lenten days, it is a time and journey of
introspection, repentance and spiritual renewal to realign our walks in the
path of the will of God our Redeemer. How could we make it possible ? Lent is
a perfect time to build virtuous habits. It gives us the grace to tackle what we
couldn't otherwise. The first step is PRAYER, prayer is not always easy. Try to
take and spent some specific time daily in prayer and develop a prayer life.
These habits may help us to build a strong relationship with God. Try to
become a friend of God and others, be little bit serious in spiritual life. Second
step is FASTING. Fasting is largely misunderstood today. It is important to
practice discipline and self control over the things which are most likely to us .
This practice may strengthen our will and overcoming the desire for instant
gratification and constant mind numbing pleasure. It is a spiritual feast. It does
for the soul what food does for the body. Third step is SHARING [alms
giving] Read James 2; 14 - 16 carefully. It is giving above and beyond what
we are normally give. This is an attitude of caring. Let us try to cultivate a
new attitude in our spiritual life. In order to embrace and enhance a new life
in Christ, I wish and pray that these days and Lenten meditations about Risen
Lord may renew all of us.
Lent prayers are arranged from March 6th Wednesday onwards. I urge and
encourage all members to become a part of this years’ worship services .
Dear all, we couldn’t make the arrangements to call annual general body with
in the stipulated time. So, with the permission of our diocesan Episcopa, hope
our 2024 executive committee will take charge from March onwards. I extent a
big thanks to the 2023 executive committee members for the wonderful leadership .
Dearly beloved, we are going through a very tough time. Many peoples and
communities are facing very heard experiences. Think, how God graciously
keep and protect all of us in the midst of all these chaos. As a parish family,
let's continue our faith journey by joining our mind and heart with one spirit
and enrich our mutual relationship to build a Paradise [ a place of pleasure and
delight ]to glorify the mighty name of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Wish you all a HAPPY EASTER
With Prayers and much love,
In His Service,
Rev. John T. S.
Vicar
