Remembering a Noble Doctor and Nun. -Sr Mariette BS Bethany Generalate, Mangalore

The visible reveals the power of the invisible and the seen proclaims the grace of the unseen. The quiet and noiseless life of Rev Sr. Dr. Lelian Sequeira, BS speaks of the goodness of her Creator. She had realized that in her journey on earth was not just to God, but also from God, with God and into the bosom of God.Therefore, she took delight in sitting at His feet in silence and contemplation to drink in whatever

he offered. She found joy to behold him in stillness and from there emanated radiance which brightened her face. Her serene countenance as a consecrated religious and as a medical doctor was the fruit of her contemplative gaze of the Divine.

medical doctor was none other than the Divine Healer.

My acquaintances with her have been personal for she had shared with me her personal story, She came across to others as an epitome of goodness, gentleness, compassion and serenity. There was firmness and power in her presence. There was strength within to face challenges of any sort and nothing deterred her spirit, knowing well that the Divine Physician would handle them. She trusted in the maternal care of the Blessed Mother too, which was visible in the way she prayed to her in times of crisis and

To everyone, Sr Lelian came across as a quiet and silent, humble and unassuming person. Simplicity, hidden charity, fidelity to duty, contentment amidst minimum comforts, joyful living, sense of detachment and loyalty to Bethany were some of her outstanding virtues. There was no show of any sort; neither praise nor disgrace affected her in any way.

Everyone could approach her freely to share their woes or confide their deep feelings. She also trusted her Major Superiors and confided in them her struggles, agonies and spiritual journey marked by the cross and suffering. It was only after sharing in his paschal mystery that the Master called her to enter into eternal life.

I should say that poor had a special place in her heart and loving them was her second nature.

She experienced neither fatigue nor exhaustion to meet them. Treating them with tender care and touching them with Christ-like compassion was her special trademark. She walked the extra mile to offer them good treatment from the amount received as donation from family, friends or benefactors, but always with the permission of the local Superior or Provincial Superior, depending on the amount received.

The education of the poor students too was her concern; in this regard,

she spent from her personal allowance and I know this fact as she shared with me as her Provincial Superior.

Goodness and kindness never dies!

Its fragrance spreads and continues to linger. So was Dr Sr Lelian. She will not to die but live because of her goodness and kindness, compassion and benevolence, generosity and bounty.

Mother Teresa Gets Saliva from Shop Keeper There is an interesting story related to Mother Teresa. She was once living in a small house in Kolkata along with some orphans. One day it so happened that there was nothing for the children to eat.

Mother Teresa did not know what to do.

Mother Teresa called all the children and said, “Come children today we have nothing to eat in the house.

But if we pray to God he will surely

give.” After ten minutes of prayer,

For Christians love of God and love of others are the two sides of the same coin. 3) The trade mark of Christianity is LOVE with its many dimensions including charity. 4) I carry on the mission of my master Jesus, to the best of my ability following his teaching.

Easter Sunday: A Sunday of hope and joy Jesus’ Resurrection occurred much earlier.

The origin of name: Easter, Latin Pascha, Greek Pascha, principal festival of the Christian church, which celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion on Friday. The earliest recorded observance of an Easter celebration comes from the 2nd century, though the commemoration of

probably

This year Easter is celebrated on Sunday, April 4, 2021.

The English word Easter, which parallels the German word Ostern, is of uncertain origin. There is now widespread consensus that the word derives from the Christian designation of Easter week as in albis, a Latin phrase that was understood as the plural of alba (“dawn”) and became eostarum in Old High German, the precursor of the modern German and English term. The Latin and Greek Pascha (“Passover”) provides the root for Páscoa, the Portuguese word for

52 Veez Konkani

Easter, from which the Konknni word Pask or Paskh is derived.

The date of Easter and its Controversies: Fixing the date on which the Resurrection of Jesus was to be observed and celebrated triggered a major controversy among the early Christians in which an Eastern and a Western position can be distinguished. The dispute, known as the Paschal controversies, was not definitively resolved until the 8th century. In Asia Minor, Christians observed the day of the Crucifixion on the same day that Jews celebrated the Passover offering—that is, on the 14th day of the first full moon of spring, 14th Nisan. The Resurrection, then, was observed two days later, on 16th Nisan, regardless of the day of the week. In the West the Resurrection of Jesus was celebrated on the first day of the week, Sunday, when Jesus had risen from the dead.

Consequently, Easter was always celebrated on the first Sunday after the 14th day of the month of Nisan.

Increasingly, the churches opted for

the Sunday celebration, and the Quartodeciman (“14th day” proponents) remained a minority.

The council of Nicaea in 325 decreed that Easter should be observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox (March 21).

Easter, therefore, can fall on any Sunday between March 22 and April 25.

Eastern Churches use a slightly different calculation based on the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar (which is 13 days ahead of the former), with the result that the Orthodox Easter celebration for them usually occurs later than that celebrated by Protestants and Catholics.

In the 20th century several attempts were made to arrive at a fixed date for Easter, with the Sunday following the second Saturday in April specifically proposed. While this proposal and others had many supporters, none came to fruition.

Renewed interest in a fixed date arose in the early 21st century,

53 Veez Konkani

resulting from discussions involving the leaders of Eastern Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox, Coptic, Anglican, and Roman Catholic Churches, but formal agreement on such a date remained elusive.

Theological aspect: The resurrection of Jesus, which Easter celebrates, is one of the chief tenets of the Christian faith. The resurrection established Jesus as the Son of God and is cited as proof that God will righteously judge the world. For those who trust in Jesus's death and resurrection, "death is swallowed up in victory." Any person who chooses to follow Jesus receives "a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead".

Through faith in the working of God those who follow Jesus are spiritually resurrected with him so that they may walk in a new way of life and receive eternal salvation, being physically resurrected to dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Easter is linked to Passover and the Exodus of Israel from Egypt

recorded in the Old Testament through the Last supper, sufferings, and crucifixion of Jesus that preceded the resurrection.

According to the three synoptic gospels, Jesus gave the Passover meal a new meaning, as in the upper room during the Last Supper he prepared himself and his disciples for his death. He identified the bread and cup of wine as his body, soon to be sacrificed, and his blood, soon to be shed. Paul states, "Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed"; this refers to the Passover requirement to have no yeast in the house and to the allegory of Jesus as the Paschal lamb.

Easter observances: In the Christian calendar, Easter follows Lent, the period of 40 days (not counting Sundays) before Easter, which traditionally is observed by acts of penance and fasting. Easter is immediately preceded by Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday, the

54 Veez Konkani

commemoration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples; Good Friday, the day of his Crucifixion; and Holy Saturday, the transition between Crucifixion and Resurrection. Liturgically, Easter comes after the Great Vigil, which was originally observed sometime between sunset on Easter Saturday and sunrise on Easter Sunday. Later it would be celebrated in Western churches on Saturday evening, then on Saturday afternoon, and finally on Sunday morning. In 1955 the Roman Catholic Church set the time for the vigil at 10 PM, which allowed for the Easter mass to be celebrated after midnight. In the Orthodox traditions the vigil continues to be an important liturgical event, while in Protestant churches it is little known.

In the 4th century the Easter vigil was well established in various liturgical expressions. It was characterized by a spirit of joyful anticipation of the Resurrection and—because of the belief that Jesus’ Second Coming would occur on Easter—the return of Jesus. In

the Roman Catholic tradition, the Easter vigil has four parts: 1. the celebration of lights focused on the Paschal candle; 2. the service of the liturgy of the word which consists of readings from the Old Testament and New Testament; 3. the administration of the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation to adult converts; 4. and the Easter Mass.

The use of the Paschal candle, to denote the appearance of light out of darkness through the Resurrection, was first recorded in the year 384; by the 10th century it had gained general usage. The prominence of baptism at Easter goes back to early Christianity, probably the 4th century, when baptism was administered only once a year, at Easter. In the Roman Catholic service, the priest blesses the water to be used in the forthcoming year for baptism, with the faithful taking some of that holy water with them to receive protection from vicissitudes.

Lutheran and Anglican churches use variations of this vigil service.

All Christian traditions have their own special liturgical emphases for

55 Veez Konkani

Easter. The Easter sunrise service, for example, is a distinctive Protestant observance in North America. The practice may derive from the Gospel narrative of Jesus’ Resurrection, which states that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb “while it was still dark” (John 20:1) or as dawn was breaking (Matthew 28:1 and Luke 24:1). It is a service of jubilation that takes place as the sun rises to dispel the darkness.

Easter traditions: Easter, like Christmas, has accumulated a great many traditions, some of which have little to do with the Christian celebration of the Resurrection but derive from folk customs. The custom of the Easter lamb appropriates both the appellation used for Jesus in Scripture (“behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world,” John 1:29) and the lamb’s role as a sacrificial animal in ancient Israel. In antiquity Christians placed lamb meat under the altar, had it blessed, and then ate it on Easter.

Since the 12th century the Lenten fast has ended on Easter with meals

including eggs, ham, cheeses, bread, and sweets that have been blessed for the occasion.

The use of painted and decorated Easter eggs was first recorded in the 13th century. The church prohibited the eating of eggs during Holy week, but chickens continued to lay eggs during that week, and the notion of specially identifying those as “Holy Week” eggs brought about their decoration. The egg itself became a symbol of the Resurrection. Just as Jesus rose from the tomb, the egg symbolizes new life emerging from the eggshell. In the Orthodox tradition eggs are painted red to symbolize the blood Jesus shed on the cross.

The custom of associating a rabbit or bunny with Easter arose in Protestant areas in Europe in the 17th century but did not become common until the 19th century. The Easter rabbit is said to lay the eggs as well as decorate and hide them.

In the United States the Easter rabbit also leaves children baskets with toys and candies on Easter

56 Veez Konkani

morning. In a way, this was a manifestation of the Protestant rejection of Catholic Easter customs.

In some European countries, however, other animals—in Switzerland the cuckoo, in Westphalia the fox—brought the Easter eggs.

The key words of Easter are Hallelujah (Praise the Lord) and Shalom (Peace). Both are Hebrew Pax Christus resurrexit. words. May Hallelujah and Shalom Pratap Naik, sj fill our beings and the entire 04 April 2021 universe during the Easter Season.

CREATURES OF HABIT # chhotebhai Most of us are creatures of habit, and therefore highly predictable. As we grow older we tend to dig in even more, and resist change of any kind. However, security guards or forces, cannot afford to be predictable, because then their opponents will know just how and when to attack them. They have to constantly keep changing tactics, timings and their habits (routine).

The word “habit” is in the news, for an altogether different reason. It is the word used to describe the religious garb that Catholic nuns usually wear, more specifically the medieval European one.

The controversy erupted when some idiots attributed the attack on the nuns at Jhansi station to their wearing “habits”. Had they been in some other form of dress more “acceptable” to the “culture

57 Veez Konkani

warriors”, then the incident would not have occurred.

Some commentators have gone to the extent of advising nuns and priests to now junk the “habit”.

This is a knee jerk reaction that merits a dispassionate study. Those of us, who lived in the pre-Vatican II era, will recall what priests and nuns looked like then. Diocesan priests were seen in their cassocks and religious priests/brothers in their habits, often black or dark brown.

Franciscans wore a cord with three knots symbolizing the three evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience. Women religious, in like manner, wore a variety of habits, some looking like butterflies. Only their faces could be seen. Many wore rosaries on their waist bands (in Indian culture a religious symbol below the waist is considered a desecration). They were often spotted walking and praying their rosary or the breviary.

Then came Vatican II (1962-65) bringing about the tectonic change in the way the Catholic Church

perceived itself, and related to the world. Shorn of ecclesiological jargon, what we laity observed was the rapid “secularization” of the priests and religious. It was almost like they were waiting to get out of jail. Priests switched to “mufti”, usually a loose pant and shirt, with a cross stitched or pinned to their front pocket or lapel. Gradually this symbol also disappeared and the priests were indistinguishable from the laity in their clothing. The only time that they wore their cassocks is when they were celebrating Mass, or when “Father” was sitting on his Principal’s chair in school. Who would respect him if he didn’t have his distinct garb?

Some “activist” priests chose to wear a simple kurta pyjama. The only bishop I met who totally identified with the people was Bp George Saupin SJ of Daltonganj. He ALWAYS wore a simple kurta pyjama with an angocha (head cloth). He would sit on his haunches and smoke a bidi like the poor tribals that he worked with. I was alone at Jyotiniketan Ashram,

58 Veez Konkani

Bareilly, when he came visiting. He insisted on threshing the grain with me, and making rotis on the wood fire.

Our ashram had neither electricity, gas nor running water.

I hold no brief for the archaic European garb that priests and nuns then wore.

They were totally unsuited to India’s hot and humid weather. With Vatican II’s thrust for a Local Church and Inculturation most women religious switched to saris. Initially they went for the saffron colour, but later morphed into a biscuit brown, while some opted for grey or white, with distinguishing borders. It is quite understandable that some elderly sisters remained more comfortable in their old habits.

The two exceptions are Kerala and the North East, for diametrically opposite reasons.

The sari is “foreign” to the North East, and reminds them of the cultural domination of “mainland India”.

Baptist and Presbyterian missionaries, later followed by the Catholics, also used western music

and culture that seemed to gel with the local tribal culture. So the sari was out. What of Kerala, especially the Syro-Malabar congregations that like to assert their Oriental identity?

Why then have they retained the habits of the Occident?

The only plausible reason that I see is that the Oriental churches of Kerala have mistaken tradition for faith. Truly, they are creatures of habit that just don’t want to change.

Aggiornamento is Greek to them, though it is actually Italian!

This brings us back to Jhansi. The nuns were in their medieval European habits.

They were probably conversing in Malayalam.

The postulants were from Odisha and possibly talking in their native tongue. It is possible that all four were not conversant in Hindi. If the aggressors tried to question them there is a distinct possibility of a communication gap that could have aroused suspicions. This in no way justifies the cowardly act of the aggressors/attackers.

My point simply is that, from Mahatma Gandhi onwards, Hindus are not so

59 Veez Konkani

much against Christianity as they are against its western garb or portrayal. Even Gandhiji was under the mistaken notion that becoming a Christian meant eating beef and drinking whiskey.

Traditional dress like the dhoti was jettisoned for western garb that was too closely associated with the then colonialists. Converts also changed their names, or anglicized them. In his native Gujarat, Makwana became Macwan. Many Gujarati converts have the anglicized surname “Christian”. In other places Jaikishan would become a Jackson.

In Goa the Portuguese ensured that their converts who were Joshi or Prabhu now got Lusitanian names like Fernandes or Periera. Belgian Jesuits in Chhotanagpur gave their converts unpronounceable Latin names like Fulgentious and Hilarious. Kerala bucked the trend.

George became Varghese and Anna became Chinnamma.

It is not my intention to belittle the heroic work of the foreign missionaries.

At that time the

church was more Roman than catholic (universal). What they did was in good faith. Yet, we need to learn the lessons of history lest we make the same mistakes.

Let me share my own experience. I was brought up in a totally westernized household and studied in a prestigious boarding school in the hills. I always failed in Hindi and got zero in Sanskrit. We were forbidden to talk in Hindi. Even today some of our Catholic schools have a signage to talk in English only. It is obnoxious. When I experienced Jesus and went to Jyotiniketan Ashram, I renounced my old way of life. On my 25th birthday I took the name chhotebhai. I also opted for a cotton kurta pyjama with a wooden rosary (mala) around my neck, with a wooden crucifix.

Shortly after, I met a priest, a staunch proponent of inculturation, in Varanasi. He was in saffron robes, like a Hindu sadhu. He reprimanded me for openly wearing a crucifix. He told me that it would be stumbling

block for me, a barrier with people.

Forty five years later I bear witness that my crucifix, far from being a barrier, has been my visiting card, opening doors for me. After seven years in the ashram circumstances forced me to return home to look after my joint family. I then got married (wearing my mala and kurta pyjama) and have subsequently lived a secular (not worldly) life.

There have been umpteen occasions where people have immediately felt at ease, seeing my crucifix. At times total strangers have come up and venerated it. Just last month as I was sitting on a bench after my Covid vaccination in a Government hospital, a young man came up and tried to touch my feet (something I never allow).

Some years ago when I went to jail on trumped up charges, fellow prisoners who were crypto Christians gathered around me. On three occasions I have single handedly opened up traffic jams on national highways. Far from being a barrier, it was breaking barriers.

A Hindu reformist group has asked me to preside over their annual religious congregation. Muslims and Sikhs are equally at ease with me. When I recently took human rights activist Harsh Mander to visit victims of police firing in a thickly populated Muslim area he could not help but remark on my Christian identity in such circumstances.

I do not wish to boast. My point is that if we have Jesus in our hearts then we should not be afraid of our Christian identity. I am not asking anybody to imitate me, though three of my companions did. One became the great apostle of Arunachal Pradesh, a second was murdered in his ashram in Uttrakhand, and the third attracts thousands to his ashram in Varanasi.

The problem is not our external identity or appearance, but rather our internal disposition. I may here add that if I had retained my earlier western upbringing, language and name I may not have been as acceptable to people of all faiths as I now am. The vision of Vatican II

was not to secularise religion but to interiorize it, and adopt the incarnational, not colonial approach. We are followers of Jesus, who spoke the local dialect

Aramaic, and wore the same clothes as his contemporaries. May he continue to be our role model in the exercise of our Christian vocation.

Like an alert security agency, we need to change. Merely being APRIL 2021 creatures of habit will only give our opponents a stick to beat us with.
