Feast 2015

The Basilica getting ready for the feast in September.

The Sunday after Onam

I was in double mind, to go to Vallarpadam today. The Sunday after Onam for those who travel by bus is a problem. Not all the bus ply. I was lucky to find an easy one to reach the church but I found it really difficult to come back. There weren't many as the folks were on holiday and the one that was plying was super crowded.

Took a detour and walked around Vypeen. When I got to Lady of Hope there, the evening Service was just about concluding.

The brooms

Following the tradition of Meenakshi Amma, visitors to the Basilica cleans the church yard with a broom. Today the evening sun had been just great. The spring equinox has changed the sun's position which is far more to the north now.

Hand notes

Beautiful hand written motivational notes ...

Strength & Grace, my friends.

Sunday

A moment yesterday when the church seemed empty. We can hardly see the church empty these days.

May we all have the blessing and grace to carry on with our lives the best possible way.
