From the Vicar’s Desk“God will be a guide forever” (Psalm 48: 14)

Dearly Beloved in Christ,

Once again the New Year is knocking our door, it is the time for a new beginning and start in life. There are some valuable lessons that our past experiences has taught us.

If we don’t learn lessons from what we’ve seen and heard, then it’s like looking in a mirror and then forgetting what you saw. There are innumerable blessings that Lord Almighty had showered upon us, which we must always remember with gratitude. God is calling us to be genuinely thankful from our hearts for His blessings. God has done so much for us that we could never repay Him. The least we can do is to bow our heads before Him and be thankful for his gracious gifts. Looking back at his goodness is intended to root us firmly in the rich soil of faith, which provides the environment in which we can grow with Him into new things. As St.Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

This is also a good time for God’s time for God’s people to take inventory for their walk with the Lord. We should take a very close look at where we are in relationship with Him. We need to examine ourselves and see where we have been, where we are and where the Lord wants us to be. Being created in the image and likeness of God, all human beings have the potentiality to be like God. In the other words it is self realization of humanity or becoming a perfect human being. This self- realization can otherwise be called spiritualization and it consists in the transformation of the soul of the soul and body and their translation into the sphere of the Spirit. Each and every faithful in the Church is invited to this growing process towards perfection. To attain this stage of self-realization, one has to purify his attitudes, which are mere human and convert them in a way that is more befitting to God.

By God’s grace our Carol service and Carol rounds went on really well. Special

mention to our choir leaders and carol rounds convenors for organizing everything really well. I appreciate the participation from all age categories present over the Christmas programmes last year.

The next three months will be busy with many programmes such as Parish Day, Diocesan Convention, Maramon Convention, Lenten Season etc. Our Parish Convention will be from January 9th–12th, 2020 followed with our Parish day on Jan. 12th 2020, the main speaker of the convention will be Rev. Vinoy Daniel (Professor, Episcopal Jubliee Institute Kompady, Thiruvalla). All your prayerful participation is required.

The Annual Diocesan Convention would be on Jan. 23rd–26th, 2020. On Jan. 25th, Najeevan Jubliee concluding session will be held at Vashi Cidco Convention Centre. On 26th Jan. (Sunday) our Metropolitan, Most. Rev. Dr. Joseph Marthoma will be the celebrant and our Diocesan bishop Rt. Rev. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Thedosius will preside over the final meeting. All our parish members are requested to take part actively.

The current financial year will be completed by the end of next quarter. Now plan for the dues to be paid off at the earliest (Monthly subscription, One day income {Parish day}, Suvishesha Nidhi).

Let all our programmes and spiritual gatherings bring joy and happiness in our life. Let them be occasions of spiritual nourishment and upbringing in the fear of God and loyalty to the church. Moreover, the 50 days of Great Lent will begin on 23rd Feb. 2020. Let us all prepare to observe the Lent with atmost dedication, fasting and meditation.

This New Year, let us commit ourselves for the success of our spiritual journey and march forward to achieve our goal through our Almighty God.

Wish you all Happy Christmas & a Blessed New Year.

With Prayers,

Yours in His Service

Gigy Achen
