Jesus always kept reminding us, what He told and did was what He heard from Father. For me this awareness has been a great strength for me to walk in the new path which I am taking now. Though I got a lot of training for the conceptual part of what I do now, practical tips to make a dream a reality is hard to come by.

As we pray and ask our Lord for guidance, the things that we hear and understand in those meditative time is the way I am going now. Lot of things, some work, some do not. Discernment is something we pick on the way. Still, the effort is to  keep doing, putting  into practisce what we "hear".

Thank you Lord for being my Light and my Way. The refuge of a lonely traveller of life.

Summer of 2014

One of the few remaining glorious sunsets at Kochi before the Monsoon arrives.

Holy Communion

How lucky those children who received today their first Holy communion, the day-April 27th- when two Popes, John XXIII and John Paul II was declared saints.

Palm Sunday

 

I was in Kochi and went to Lady of Ransom at Vallarpadam. The 11.30 am mass was almost over when I reached there. From our side, the buses to  town were few and I lost a lot of time while travelling. 

The Palm leaves were in plenty at the church. I took a few. 

The facility to confess at the church is very helpful. They have  separate session for that. I did mine there. In Andhra, I had the language problem and its been a while since I confessed. 

It was nice to be back at Vallarpadam. Old friends, some hellos, but mostly an internal journey. When we connect with God, the place do not matter, still I felt a little bad, the lady of Ransom church have been out of my  mind for some time when I was trekking the Andhra life at the university. :(

 

Travelling

Across South India in 18 days, Thank you Lord for the wonderful opportunity.

Before Lent

Being a decisive week  coming ahead at the university, I went early for the 8.30 am mass at the cathedral church in Nellore. 

It was a wonderful day, the new graduating students from the the St. Joseph's Nursing college was initiated into service during the mass today. It was beautiful ceremony with all the nursing graduates holding a light. Too bad, I did not take my camera. 

The summer is warming up in Nellore. 

Secret truths

Who did Jesus came for? What was his purpose?

"...to give good news to the poor, to give freedom from bondage, to give sight to the blind, to liberate the oppressed and to proclaim the year of Lord's Mercy..."

So that even the most unfortunate find peace and happiness in this life and this world. It means too, the journey starts within ourselves first. The urge and need for a way to live this life, without being jeopardized by the "maya" of this world.

May we all have the grace to seek the way!
