Lets Listen To Deepthi.....

"To be with the Lord, let that be our great pleasure"

I know that I am not worthy enough to pen in these pages. But by His grace…….More than that he wanted me to, otherwise i would not have got this chance.

It was in 1998, that I was able to experience the truth that Jesus is a Living God and He is Alive. I always had a feeling that He is someone sitting very far and watching me from far afar. But then I understood he is nowhere else other than in our hearts. Since then, i knew in everything He is with me. A Loving God the father who knows only to Love, Love and to Love.

The verse that has touched me is, "Happy are those who has no doubts about Him". I think that is the greatest miracle too in my life. I know that i am only aware of lil things about Him, but that is everything for my Lord. Whenever i am taken through troubles, He used to strengthen me saying, " You are mine, i would not test you beyond the limit which you are not able to".

Till ninth standard, i was a very studious, serious girl who never used to talk much, even to my family members. But after experiencing my Lord, i should say that i changed as i really experienced the meaning of LOVE. I started loving my parents, friends, especially my Teachers. And i started learning that there is no word called IMPOSSIBLE. Everything started becoming possible through Prayers (the ever greatest weapon). Most of the time i enjoyed being in fellowship, prayer groups etc. Because of which everyone started questioning my studies. But "If God is with us, then who can stand against us". Thus i became topper wherever i went. I know i am weak, but in His grace i am strong and everyone started saying "We never felt that you are this brilliant". But only my Lord & me know the secret behind....:-)

There has been times for me where i really went down, deeply depressed, highly tempted, even i had fallen in many pits which the other one has made, but my Lord never left me alone.... I always used to think "Why He is loving me like this, why he should do that, who am i for Him???". The only response is a smile from him and that is it. That answers all my questions and clears all my doubts. That is our God, our Living Word.

At start of my spiritual life, i thought it would be a great trouble to have a christian life (as i heard only of sacrifices, pains, testing etc). But later on, He started teaching me to surrender and to enjoy life in every sense. We need to have Fun, Studies, Prayer life, Job everything...Only thing is that we need to have balance between all these..Because once we miss this, we are missing it for our whole life. Be always busy in loving each other and doing things for Him so that there would not be any time left for the other one to attack us.

Thanks a lot for hearing me through this writing. May God bless all of us to enjoy our life with Him. "My Lord, You are a wonder, You are a miracle. I am happy that you chose me too to experience Your Love. Lord bless me and my fellow beings, always to be yours and to never forget your Love. Whatever happens in life, give us the grace to accept it without complaint".

Service Team Reconstitution

“Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (Jn 13:34)

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Greetings to you all in Jesus Name!

After long days of Adoration before the Holy Eucharist and prayers of Rosary by the youth, elders, Priests and Religious,
we have a wonderful service team in Trivandrum.

There was less clarity among many of the leaders, while thinking about Service Team.
But, the leaders made their personal and group prayers stronger. Over the time, a strong belt of prayer protection was built. Slowly, the plant grew to a big tree to bear the fruit- the Service team.
And.. to specifically say, it was safe in the hands of Mother Mary.

The team:
1. Charles (Valiathura region)- Coordinator
2.Amitha (Ayurveda College)
3. Stelin Jeseenther(Vallavila region)
4. Smitharani Mathew (Technopark)
5. Christudas (Pulluvila region)
6. Albert (Medical College)
7. Xavier (Poonthura region)
8. George Harris (Technopark)- Assist. Coordinator
9. Denish Davis (Technopark)
10. Dr.Cessal Thomas (RCC, Medical College) and Dr.Aparna Cessal- Couples
11. Justy ( Mar Evanious College)
12. Vimal Gracian – Ex service team

Elder - Tommy Chettan
Pastor- Fr. Manoj

Let me put forward a few things for you to ponder...
These days, the power of Holy Eucharistic Adoration became real to us.
And we continue to arrange Eucharistic Adorations everywhere.
Pope Benedict In his first message after becoming pope, he applied that lesson to the Eucharist.
“I ask everyone in the coming months to intensify love and devotion for Jesus in the Eucharist.”
Therefore, the first request the Service Team wishes to place before you is to intensify the Eucharistic Adoration.

Please pray for the team. The team is meant only to serve and your prayers will empower them and you will correct them.

May Mary, Mother of Beautiful Love, guide the team. Devoting this team to the heart of Mother Mary!
Blessed be God Who called them to be the humble servants of His Vineyard!
