Fall 2008

Mon, 10/06/2008 - 10:46am — Achen

As autumn has started, the change is notable around nature through which we can learn about the temporality of this life. When the temperature drops down, the color change on leaves begins to appear. The leaves have completed their task for their very short span of life. As we are entering into the last quarter of this year, let us be mindful about the transitory nature of our life and be convinced about the duties we have been entrusted. In the Bible many metaphors are used to stress the brevity of our life on earth.

Summer 2008

Sun, 07/06/2008 - 10:33pm — Achen

We have entered in to the second half of the year. The time flies and the seasons are changing in rotation. This part of the world is enjoying the warmth of the sun and the cool of the summer rain. Greeneries and vegetations are seen everywhere. What a difference the rain makes. When it falls, we can hardly recognize the landscape which was not a blade of grass to be seen. Green grass was carpeting what had previously been bare earth. What a transformation!

The Dawn of a New Hope

Tue, 04/01/2008 - 11:12am — Achen

April – 2008

Dearly beloved in Christ,

You might have noticed the lilies in the fields and the gardens, a plant which is seasonal and seems having a very transitory life on earth. During the inclement weather, the small plant withers and after few days we even do not know the place where it has been. But after few months, when the weather favours, it begins to sprout from its tuber on the ground and in due course beautiful flower blossoms giving amenity and mirth to others.

Life with the Crucified Christ

March - 2008

Dearly beloved in Christ,

During winter some oak trees retain their crisp, dry leaves long after the maples, the elms and the walnuts have become bare skeletons. Even the strong winter winds and the early spring rains do not completely strip the oak branches of all their old leaves. But as spring time progresses, warmer winds blow and something wonderful begins to happen. Tiny buds start appearing at the tips of the twigs, and the dried remnants of the preceding season fall off. New life replaces the old.

Vicar's Message for February 2008

Thu, 02/07/2008 - 9:42am — admin

Dearly beloved in Christ,

The Great Lent starts on 3rd of this month and ends on 23rd March. The church observes fasts and feasts in relation to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The church is meditating the salvific ministry of her Lord in these days. It is an occasion for us to prepare ourselves to live in the salvation experience by keeping ourselves more close to our Lord. This should not be seen as an outward expression of renouncing food or abstaining ourselves from worldly passions. Rather this should be treated as a time for us to prepare ourselves to live in or identifying ourselves with the salvation experience of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.

Message for January

Sun, 01/20/2008 - 11:01pm — Achen

Dearly beloved in Christ,

Wish you all a blessed and Happy New Year.

Let us thank Almighty God that He has allowed us to see the dawn of another year in our life. When we look back, we cannot but give thanks along with the Psalmist for His care and protection, "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praises shall continually in my mouth". Let us continue our spiritual journey with the Lord of Israel who went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night (Exo:13:21).
