Archbishop's Message

Message Message

Christ in dialogue with the people Christ always doing the will of the Father.

(Can. 577)

“Blessed are the poor in Spirit”. (Mt. 5:3), “Blessed areyou poor” (Lk. 6:20). “If you would be perfect, go, sell whatyou possess and give to the poor . . . and come, follow me” (Mt.19:21). Poverty, poverty in spirit, total detachment from wealthis an essential requirement to follow Christ more closely. Thepoor are those who are totally dependent on God, on divineprovidence for everything. The Religious, by living a life ofradical poverty, are called to be configured with Christ the poorand to bear witness to Christ the poor.

Religious life is more a matter of being than doing; it ismore relational than functional. The religious are called to bewith Christ, for Christ and like Christ. The religious areconsecrated persons. Consecration is for mission. Thereligious are consecrated for the mission of Christ. The religiouscannot carry on the mission of Christ effectively and efficiently,unless they are in deep communion with Christ through deepprayer life and live like Christ through a life of poverty andsimplicity.

Christ “was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, sothat by his poverty you might become rich”. (II Cor. 8:9).Christ “emptied himself taking the form of a servant” (Phil: 2:7).From his birth to death, from the crib to the cross, Jesus lived inutter poverty. Jesus wants the religious to walk in his footsteps,leading a life of poverty and simplicity.


February 2019February 2019 41 42 MessageMessage

A life of poverty is an essential element in the life,ministries and services of priests and religious. St. Francis of Assisiidentified himself with Christ, with the poverty of Christ in thecrib and on the cross. Many religious congregations have takenSt. Francis of Assisi as their father, patron and model. What ispredominantly striking in the life of St. Francis of Assisi is his lifeof radical poverty, total dependence on God. All the religiousare called to bear witness to Christ the poor by a life of radicalpoverty.

This life of poverty takes us closer to the poor people inthe society. Christ associated himself in a special way with thepoor, the sinners and the outcaste (Lk. 15:2). We are exhortedto “remember the poor” (Gal. 2:10) in a special way, to shareour riches with the poor generously and to serve the poorcheerfully. Pope Francis repeatedly reminds us that the churchis of the poor and for the poor. Who we are to the pooris more important than what we do for the poor. Following theexample of Christ, let us identify ourselves with the poor. Weshould always keep in mind that being with the poor is moreimportant than doing for the poor. We wish and pray that allthe religious be poor, be with the poor and be for thepoor in our society.

Every year on 2nd February we celebrate the feast of thePresentation of our Lord in the temple. This day is observed asthe day of consecrated life. We offer our prayerful wishes andcongratulations to all the Religious in our Archdiocese. By theirconsecrated presence, by their exemplary lives and dedicated

services, they make significant contribution to the growth of ourArchdiocese.

Mary carried Jesus in her arms to the temple and offeredhim to God. Through the hands of Mary, let us all -priests,religious and the laity in our Archdiocese – offer ourselves toGod.

From the Desk of VicarsThe art of communication, we learn from the Blessed Trinity.Consciousness (SON) of the Truth (GOD) flows out as bliss (SPIRIT)with the children of God it is the same for all. For the members ofthe Catholic Church, Jesus Christ is the model. In our Archdiocesewe have weekly Sarva Viabi, the monthly News Letter and otherforms of dialogue and communication. For the Newsletter to bevibrant our Archbishop shares his monthly concerns and otherdetails. The Judicial Vicar and the Pastoral Director share their viewsand news in addition to others now and then. To make the Newsletterreally vibrant during this Synodal year 2019, all the priests, thereligious and the lay leaders are invited to share joyfully someimportant news useful to all. All of us have the responsibility towardsthe will and plan of God, carried out through the Local Church.

As we are invited “to feel with the church”, may we be moved towrite for the Newsletter about their own area of operation andconcern so that we know where the church stands. Instead of beingisolated, let us relate with all to become ecclesial true to our call,parishes, vicariates and the diocese are the triple basic forms andstructures for animation, guidance and service. The spirituality ofthe diocesan priests invites us to share our life and service otherwisewe know the results at the grass root level. Building up the localchurch as members is more important than any other buildings.The growth of our people in faith, in catechesis, basic Christiancommunity, sub-stations, parishes, vicariates, diocese need to befollowed by their respective persons now and then through theNewsletter. The sharing has to flow without any force from anybody.If we have been consistent, we would have Christ’s faithful beyondthe tragedy of caste, colour, ethnicity, language, rite etc. If the LocalChurch has to be an example for others we need to stand up andbear vibrant witnesses today. When the Risen Lord is with us, let usalways wake up and continue our pilgrimage towards the Reign ofGod.

Points to Ponder:

Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated andtreasured, even when they are driving you crazy. As muchas they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse atyou, try to control you, these are the people who knowyou the best and who love you. – Jenna Morasca.When your focus shifts from competition to contribution,life becomes a celebration. “It is impossible to find a saint who did not take the “twoP’s” seriously: Prayer and Penance.” St. Francis Xavier, sj* The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. –Hubert H. Humphrey* The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution Iknow that works, is the family. –Lee Lacocca

The single most important ingredient in the recipe forsuccess is transparency because transparency buildstrust. –Denise Morrison In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go downwhile you are still angry. – Eph.4:26.

Let us offer our ministries for the souls in purgatory whowill in return pray that we may learn to die to our ‘ego’during the Lenten season in order to rise with Him onEaster. May the coming Holy Lenten Observances bringPeace at the Families and thanking you.II. Pope Francis’ prayer in his message for the 52nd

World Communications Day: (suggestedNovember 18, 2018 to be celebrated or any otherconvenient date)Make us instruments of your peace.Help us to recognize the evil latent in a communicationthat does not build communion.


February 2019February 2019 59 60 Commissions CommissionsHelp us to remove the venom from our judgments.Help us to speak about others as our brothers andsisters.You are faithful and trustworthy; may our words beseeds of goodness for the world:Where there is shouting, let us practice listening;Where there is confusion, let us inspire harmony;Where there is ambiguity, let us bring clarity;Where there is exclusion, let us offer solidarity;Where there is sensationalism, let us use sobriety;Where there is superficiality, let us raise real questions;Where there is prejudice, let us awaken trust;Where there is hostility, let us bring respect;Where there is falsehood, let us bring truth.
