Christmas: A Feast of Love, Joy, Hope and Peace “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”

(Jn. 3:16). This great mystery of the Incarnation, which is a mystery of God’s love, is celebrated during the Christmas Season. The coming of the

90 Veez Konkani


Messiah was foretold by the Prophets and they prepared the people of Israel for the coming of the Saviour. John the Baptist was the immediate precursor of the Divine Saviour who admonished the people to prepare the way of the Lord by repentance (cf. Mk 1: 1-6) Just as the people were prepared by John the Baptist for the coming of the historical Jesus, so the Church wants all the Christians to prepare themselves for the mystical, sacramental and spiritual coming of Jesus. The season of Advent is the special time of grace designated by the Church not only to prepare for Christmas but also for the second coming of Christ. St. Bernard spoke of “three advents” of Christ. The first advent already happened in historical time and space over 2000 years ago and which we now commemorate each

Christmas. The third advent is the parousia, the advent in which Christ will come in all his glory to judge the living and the dead and to take us to himself. The second or middle advent is the “time of visitation” by which Christ comes into our lives and is present and active in our lives. He comes to us through persons, events, Sacraments and grace to transform us into his image and likeness and to bring us forgiveness and healing from sin, difficulties, sickness and human frailties of our daily lives. It is important that we recognize him in the daily events of our lives and welcome him. This is possible only with deep faith and humility. Often we fail to recognize him due to lack of faith or pride or preoccupation with worldly concerns. Much of our time, energy and money is spent on external preparations and celebrations.

91 Veez Konkani


Advent invites us to prepare spiritually and interiorly to welcome the Lord into our hearts and lives. This interior and spiritual preparation should also involve a conversion of heart in response to the call given by John the Baptist: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight and the rough places shall become level ways, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God” (Lk.3:4-6). And Jesus our Divine Saviour himself preached: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt.4:17). The ultimate joy and lasting happiness of Christmas cannot be experienced without this interior conversion of heart through repentance when each one prepares his/her heart to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of Christ is a joyful

event, which gives hope for humanity. No matter how sinful a person is, s/he need not despair of perishing but now can hope for God’s forgiveness and obtain eternal life, provided s/he believes in God’s love and mercy and asks for forgiveness with a repentant heart. Christmas is therefore a celebration of hope and new life. This is symbolized by the ever-green fir tree in the West. Christ said that he came not for the righteous but for sinners. He has come that we may not perish in our sins but may have life and have it in abundance (cf. Jn. 10:10). In order to receive this life, we need faith, we need humility. When Jesus was born an angel announced the joyful news to the shepherds: “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the

92 Veez Konkani


Lord” (Lk.2:10-11). And a multitude of heavenly host praised God saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased” (Lk. 2:14). The good news of great joy is for all the world. Peace is a precious gift which all of us desire and need. But only those who are of good will with whom God is pleased will experience this peace. We need to pray for peace and should be well disposed to experience it. Sending greeting cards to friends and acquaintances, distributing sweets and cakes, decorating and illuminating houses, making cribs and Christmas trees etc. are all different ways of celebrating this joyful event. It is a Birthday celebration par excellence. No other person’s Birthday in human history is celebrated on such a large scale and with such joy and warmth all over the world as that of Jesus Christ.

There would hardly be any corner of the world where Christmas is not celebrated. However, due to the impact of the corona pandemic still around and the threat of Omicron variant looming large, we will not be able to celebrate Christmas in the usual manner with large gatherings, melas, exhibitions, Christmas plays etc. But that should not dampen our spirit and joy. Even if external celebrations may be restricted and limited, there should be no limit to our interior spiritual joy that the Birth of our Saviour brings. The real Christmas should touch our human hearts so profoundly as to live by the sublime teaching of Christ and emulate the values enshrined in his preaching. Love, compassion, forgiveness, justice, truthfulness, purity, service, self-sacrifice, etc. are the essence of his teaching. The

93 Veez Konkani


world needs these values today more than ever before. The culture of violence and death needs to be replaced by a civilization of love and respect for life. Attitudes of hate and revenge must give way to respect and tolerance. Excessive consumerism and hedonism must be tempered with self-sacrifice and service. Christmas brings the message of love, joy, hope and peace. May these much-needed gifts from God, be poured abundantly from heaven during this joyful season and all through 2022.

I wish all of you a Grace-filled Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Bashing Christians in India -*Fr. Cedric Prakash SJ It is been happening with frightening regularity all over India and particularly, in States

run by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP): the bashing of Christians! It is a wellorchestrated campaign to denigrate and demonise the

94 Veez Konkani


bogeys and myths – the way is paved for a national antiConversion law! Ultimately, the ushering of a nation-state based on the ‘hindutva’ ideology!

Christians. Their design is devious: a method in their ‘madness’! The divisive agenda is clearly to polarise sections of the majority community against the Christians. The bogey of socalled ‘conversions’ is always raised creating unfounded ‘fears’ that the population of Christians is increasing in the country whereas official Government statistics clearly show a decline in numbers!

Christians are being bashed up, their institutions are attacked, Christian literature is burnt, undemocratic demands are made on the Christians, false charges framed, antiConversion laws are made weapons to intimidated and harass. Reports on these come in daily: they don’t seem to stop! Above all, those who are responsible for these heinous crimes do so with impunity and are apparently guaranteed impunity by the bosses and their ilk!

The long-term strategy is clear: they bash up minorities and, in several cases, notch up electoral gains! There is evidence to prove this be it in Gujarat in the past or recently in Tripura! Besides with

The latest attack is on the Missionaries of Charity (founded by Mother Teresa) in Vadodara when on 13 December the Gujarat Police registered an FIR against them (the Missionaries of Charity

95 Veez Konkani


who run the Ashram), for allegedly “luring young girls into Christianity and hurting Hindu religious sentiments.”. This is an allegation that is totally false and fabricated. The sequence of events is as follows: - On 29 August 2021, Mr Priyank Kanoongo the Chairman of the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) paid a “surprise” visit to the Ashram and apparently finds a couple of Bibles with the names of a child written on them - He directs the District Administration and police to take action; they do visit the Ashram later and in fact they find nothing wrong. In fact, they had all appreciation for the work of the sisters - On 9 December the District Social Defence Officer with the Chairman

-

-

-

-

96 Veez Konkani

of the CWC visited the premises during which they ‘apparently’ found some serious issues! This visit took place because there was plenty of pressure from ‘above’ An FIR was then filed; the sisters came to know about it from the media On 13 December 2021 around 7.00pm – a team consisting of an Asst Commissioner of Police, the P.I. of Makarpura, a Social Welfare Officer from the CWC and a lady constable visited the premises till 11.00pm for ‘investigations’ On 14 December, another team of police came to the Ashram to interrogate the five girls whose names were written on the Bibles – no MC Sister or lawyer/representative (on behalf of the Sisters) was allowed to be present. The


interrogation went on for more than four hours. The complaint was finally filed by the District Social Defence Officer Mayank Trivedi. During his visit Trivedi ‘apparently’ found girls being forced to read Christian religious texts at the shelter and that similar activities were conducted with the intention of “steering them into Christianity.” The Missionaries of Charity have been booked under sections 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts to outrage feelings of any class by insulting its religious beliefs) and 298 (deliberately uttering words to wound the religious feelings of a person) of the Indian Penal Code. The FIR also invokes sections of the ‘Gujarat Freedom of Religion Act, 2003’, including those providing for prohibition of forcible conversion and punishment for it.

The FIR states, “between February 10, 2021, and December 9, 2021, the institution has been involved in activities to hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus intentionally and with bitterness… The girls inside the Home for Girls are being lured to adopt Christianity by making them wear the cross around their neck and also placing the Bible on the table of the storeroom used by the girls, in order to compel them to read the Bible… It is an attempted crime to force religious conversion upon the girls” The Missionaries of Charity vehemently deny these false allegations saying that the twenty-four girls living in the Ashram and under their care, are very well looked after. No one is forced to do anything- if the girls want to, they are free to pray in any way they wish; besides no one is converted or forced to marry a Christian.

The calculated attempts to dismantle the tremendous work done by the Missionaries of Charity for the poorest of the poor, the unloved and rejected, the orphans and widows- needs to be condemned unequivocally and strongly by all enlightened citizens who not only value the great legacy Mother Teresa has left us – but who admire the work done by her Sisters today!

and others (irrespective of caste or creed) they so lovingly care for day and night – without counting the cost!

All efforts to tarnish the name of the Missionaries of Charity, will besides hurting their tremendous work will greatly affect the thousands of the poorest of the poor, dying destitute, abandoned, rejected

This bashing of the Missionaries of Charity and of all Christians must stop NOW! Wake up India before it is too late! 14 December 2021

Perpetua's Inspirational Book There's always "Beauty" in the "Broken", for only then, can we grow in hope....of the l light that we long to see. (Quote from back cover of Book)

In Mangaluru, the last Sunday of November 2021, was a unique day at 'The Bharath Academy' Mangalore, as it held the first ever 'Literary Day', with the Book Launch of talented young authors. The aim of this fest was to encourage reading among children from a very young age and to inculcate sparks of creativity in them so as to become budding authors, poets and public speakers. The fest attracted young children from in and around the city and people. The enthusiasm of several

great and generous folk contributed to the unique positivity and future of the effort. One of the book released was a deeply inspiring unique Book " Beautifully Broken" By Perpetua Pereira, a gifted School girl prodigy, which may be termed her major maiden work of solid 160 pages beutifully done, captivating readers, very noteworthy . Let us zoom into this rare book and get inspiration from the budding author while she gets popular with all looking up to her making it big and going places. It is a thrilling experince to get to know and admire. The young author, about the Book : From the author's views : In my

childhood circumstances helped me see that pain exists in all of us, and yet, the worst experiences remain our passionate companions for life. The scars in the heart makes one realize that in the end, only I can heal myself. Experiences teach the lessons that one never wants to learn. Though now, all those haunting memories are dead, making room for new ones to come….. It is difficult, forced to battle the feeling of being present but not seen; the feeling of being heart broken with no more heart to break; feeling of dying inside with eyes wide open. Whether it is pain, fear, love or betrayal, this book has it all to remind you that you are NOT ALONE. The one liners, written hoping to sew together the torn walls of the heart, for some answers never satisfy. But, watching so many

others battle fierce wars within themselves created an undying urge to share my own one liners with the world because – if they could help me heal, they could help many more too. Rarely our thoughts are shared, but now I want to share it all. I never thought my heart would make it out into the world and ultimately into your hands but It will, it can make me glad. Hope you find hope from my lines to make it your own. Use what you need now, save the rest for a later time of need. Read, heal, remember YOU are never alone. Live to be happy, be happy to live.

Besides being an intelligent student, she has earned a name as a singer too!

Willing philanthropists hav e come forward to publish her creations and support her education. She richly deserves all and she is profoundly grateful for all.

UK KONKANS CELEBRATED GALA CHRISTMAS 2021

118 Veez Konkani


“Prayers go up and Blessings come down”. This phrase is perhaps well suited for Christmas Celebrations organised by UK Konkans – one of the leading Konkani Associations in the UK. The venue, the weather and above all, the Government guidelines all worked in favour of UK Konkans. The organisers were unsure of regular changes in the government guidelines for Covid-19. By the time, some relaxations were introduced, all venues were fully booked. Hence, it was decided to hire a smaller venue for a ‘Dinner and Dance’ evening to keep with UK Konkans tradition. What was

meant to be a low key celebration, went on to become one of the most memorable evenings. The venue – The St Peter & Pauls Hall in Staines with limited capacity was overbooked within three days public offering. Organisers had to politely apologise for many regular and enthusiastic Konkanis who wanted to attend the event. The stage was well decorated by Gratian D’Silva with other members provided helping hand to prepare the venue.

Melwyn Vaz started the proceedings by welcoming the guests. The young kids, aged between 5 to 10 (Ashton, Aldrin, Asher,

Further he said, "I need to give credit to the organizers for considering senior citizens to be part of Sauhardha Christmas. Due to Covid, for the last one and half years, senior citizens have stayed away from all the activities. This is the best way to celebrate Christmas with senior citizens and bring smile on their face.” Bishop Emeritus CL Furtado, CSI said, "Being a part of history, Jesus

redeemed us from our history. He came down to this earth to experience poverty and establish peace. Therefore, real peace is born not from conflict and conquest but only through people working for it ". Bishop Lawrence Mukkuzhy said, “Jesus, the light of the world was born to dispel the darkness of sin. Let us lighten the world covered by darkness and uncertainties by being the light of the World.” Senior citizens of various churches in Mangalore participated and presented beautiful Christmas programmes. School children and the parish choirs sang beautiful carols.

UGC-STRIDE seminar on, “Sociocultural Issues and their Impact on Health”

December 16, 2021 at Sanidhya Hall, St. Aloysius College (Autonomous)

St. Aloysius College (Autonomous), Mangaluru organized a seminar titled, “Socio-cultural Issues and their Impact on Health” under UGCSTRIDE programme. The eminent speaker, Dr. Javed Jamil, the Chair in Islamic Studies and Research at the

141 Veez Konkani


Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) delivered the talk on Thursday, the 16th of December 2021 at Sanidhya Hall, St Aloysius College (Autonomous). Dr. Jamil is a renowned professor, thinker, Islamic scholar and author. A doctor by profession and Islamic

scholar by passion, he has been able to blend his knowledge with the understanding of the present world that many a times ignores the true values and practices that religion imparts. Dr. Jamil’s recent books include, “Economics First or Health First?”, “Justice Imprisoned”, “A Systematic Study of the Holy Qur’an” among others. Dr. Jamil argued that religion is challenged by economic fundamentalism where the dominance of market forces can be felt in world affairs today. The market economy, which is largely

142 Veez Konkani


West based, has targeted the ideals of religion, family system, and consumption of goods and services. In the meanwhile, it has not been able to give permanent solution to issues like female feticide, suicides or diseases like HIV/AIDS. Dr Jamil pointed out that religions like Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Buddhism preach religious morality in terms of promoting healthy family systems, healthy practices of consumption, respect for women, and in general promotion of scientifically proven health practices that religion promotes. Dr. Jamil, therefore concluded that not

religious identity, but religious morality can unify the believers of major religions both within and outside India. Dr. Alwyn D’Sa, the Registrar and the Director of UGC-STRIDE programme at St Aloysius College (Autonomous) delivered the presidential remarks while highlighting the importance of holding talks on socio-cultural issues. The talk was moderated by Dr. Joyce Lobo, Asst Prof in Dept of Political Science and coordinated by Mr. Reiji John, Asst Prof in Dept of Economics.
