PASTOR'S MESSAGE:

ST. TERESA OF KOLKATA: AN ICON OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN St. Teresa of the Gutters, as she is commonly called, was one of the greatest missionaries of the twentieth century. She spoke the universal language of love that is intelligible to everyone. With all the fibres of her being, she preached through action. She went everywhere to serve Christ in the poorest of the poor. With the witness of her life, St. Teresa reminds everyone that the evangelising mission of the Church passes through charity, nourished by prayer and listening to God's word. She proclaimed the Gospel living her life as a total gift to the poor but, at the same time steeped in prayer.

Her life was a radical living and bold proclamation of the Gospel. “As you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me” (Mt 25:40) St. Teresa highlights the deepest meaning of service – an act of love done to the hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, prisoners, is done to Jesus himself!

The figure of St. Teresa of Kolkata is well known all over the world. Her personality and humanitarian work have been broadcast through every form of the media. She had been favourite subject of countless biographers and hundreds of books have been published about her in nearly all languages. She was born on 26th August 1910 in Yugoslavia as the youngest of three children and was baptised Agnes. Her father Nikola Bojaxhui and mother Rosa Drane Markit were both natives of Albania. St. Teresa was always cheerful, hardworking, charitable and generous, and had a notable talent for organisation. She founded the missionaries of charity through which she continued with her ministry to the poor while bearing witness to the joy of loving and serving. She won the Nobel Prize for Peace and the Bharat Ratna is 1980. She accepted all these “for the greater glory of God and in the name of the poor.” She always labours and spoke out to uphold the dignity and value of every human life. th

On 5 September 1997 she was called to her heavenly reward. Let's imitate her in all her goodness, the icon of the Good Samaritan. Reflecting on the pastoral theme “Go and do likewise” (Lk 10:37) be a Good Samaritan to others.

INTERVIEW:

“Be Vibrant, Lead By Example” -Carmel De Souza Carmel Deliciosa De Souza one of our dedicated parishioner has done her MA in English Literature /Aesthetics. At present, she is working as Assistant Secretary of S.C.E.R.T (State Council of Educational Research and Training) Porvorim. Here in our Church, she is the President of Secular Franciscan Order. Recently she was elected as the Moderator of 6th Parish Pastoral Council in our Church. She is enthusiastic, dedicated and disciplined. PRERNA is ever willing to share her views.

PRERNA: We congratulate you on being elected as the Moderator of the 6th Parish Council. What have you to say about the outgoing council?

MS. CARMEL: Thank you for your good wishes. I congratulate the outgoing PPC as they worked as a cohesive unit bringing about solidarity and communion among the people. Rev. Fr. Nevel Gracias needs to be complimented for his sincere efforts to make it a vibrant PPC. PRERNA: What will be your priorities as the new Moderator? What do you expect from the members, specially the Sector Leaders?

MS. CARMEL: Indeed it is a great responsibility to take the PPC at a higher level. We are blessed with a good leader, Rev. Fr. Anand Pais to give us direction and an enthusiastic PPC who are eager to work. The sector leaders should keep Jesus as their role model and they themselves should be an example for all to follow and act as disciples spreading the Word of God in their SC Communities and where ever they go.

PRERNA: The Parish Council although a consultative body is a bridge between the Parish Priest and the parishioners. Do you have any plans to activate the Small Christian communities?

MS. CARMEL: The need of the hour is to re-energise and reactivate the working of the SC Communities and work towards uplifting all sections of the parish both spiritually and physically. I would like to give attention to the youth with emphasis on developing confidence, character building, nurturing creativity not forgetting the Four Developmental needs -Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual. There is need to promote the concept "Health Is Wealth" with a bias on prevention of diseases like Cancer, Heart Attacks, Diabetes etc as pointed out by our beloved Archbishop in his Pastoral Letter. We will take one step at a time with all members of the SC Communities participating.

PRERNA: The PPC will run smoothly only if there is support from the parishioners. Your message…

MS. CARMEL: I strongly believe in the saying "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL." Our sector leaders have to be vibrant, lead by example by being good role models so that others will follow. As leaders, there is need to work with a collaborative spirit in the service of others.

POETRY:

The Tiniest The tiniest flowers, Shape beauty, In array with others.

The tiniest sound, Of music, Vibrates all around.

The tiniest shelter, When in need, Palace is no better.

The tiniest thought, Meditated, Has battle's and wars fought.

The tiniest tablet, Instantly, Brings relief; also death.

The tiniest kind glance, Modulates A heavy heart to dance.

The tiniest seed, Germinates, In mighty trees and feed.

Friendship: A Rare Treasure

(As we celebrate Friendship Day on 4th August 2019, our teenagers express their views on friends and friendship) Friends are pearls and friendship is a necklace that brightens up our life. Someone said: 'Show me your friends and it will be easy to tell who you are'. Man is not an island and we need fellow human beings to accompany us in the journey of life. That's the reason friends are for. When we do good, they appreciate us. When we go the wrong path, they correct us. When we have problems and are burdened, they accompany us. Friends share their secrets and good friends never betray the trust. Let's be true friends!

-Aloma D'Cunha Friendship is a relationship which is very rare. It brings joy and laughter in one's life. It's a beautiful gift of God, which cannot be compared to any other relationship. If you consider friends as guiding stars and friendship as the light that make the stars shine the light of friendship will always lighten up your path to make your life worthwhile. So have a friend and be a friend. You'll never be in solitude. And that's the essence of friendship. Happy Friendship Day. -Henrea Fernandes A friend is much more than a companion. A friend is someone who will stand by you even during the toughest time‌ and friendship is a sacred trust without the legal stamp. A true friendship sweetens our life, brightens our joy and lightens our sorrows. You may have friends but few are true. You have to think twice before choosing your friends. They might betray you, but Jesus is your best friend. His friendship gives us lasting peace, joy and happiness.

Let Your Faith Arise!

-Francesca Fernandes Are you at a place in your life where your faith is waning. Be a good courage, trust in the one who is always faithful. Let us look at the story of Caleb and Joshua. They were two of the twelve spies sent

by Moses, to spy on the land of Canaan. While the rest of the spices came back with a dismal report, Caleb and Joshua had a good report. They said the Promised Land flowed with milk and honey and though the inhabitants were like giants, they trusted in God to deliver the land to them. They had Faith. With faith it is impossible to please God. Because they believed, God rewarded them by giving them the land of Canaan. God wants us to have unwavering faith in Him. The bible gives us many examples where God comes through for His people – He parted the Red Sea for Moses, closed the mouth of the lions for Daniel, placed a boy in Sarah's arms, raised Lazarus from the dead, opened the prison door for Peter – why?

Because they all had FAITH. Mountain-moving faith.

Can we too, as children of the same unchanging God, have that much faith in Him. Faith is a choice. It doesn't come naturally. We have to read Gods word, meditate on it, be encouraged by it and work on it.

Can we walk by faith and not by sight?

Come Holy Spirit -Lourenco D Mendonรงa After the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven, He sends His Spirit as promised by His Word upon the apostles and whom so ever who wish to grab its power. The Holy Spirit is a free gift poured out upon humankind showering us with abundant gifts, charisms and fruits. To make our lives happy, strong, wise and God filled.

When we receive the Sacrament of Baptism and Confirmation we are anointed in the name of The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. This grace enriches us to grow in love of God and our fellow - beings. Every time we recite the Apostles Creed , the proclamation of our faith, we praise the Holy Trinity, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

But very often we are left to wonder or are least bothered to experience the Holy Spirit in our lives or what is His infilling all about. So we go chasing all that the world offers.

Good or bad as though there is no tomorrow. At the end of the day we are tired, stressed in pain and wanting more of what the world cannot give. It is like the proverbial 'carrot on a stick' with the carrot dangling from a stick at one end and we are running with the stick to catch the carrot.

To discern the Holy Spirit and to recognise His presence in us, the prerequisite is silence to listen to His promptings, prayer to be in His grace and humility to surrender our sinful life to renewal. We have to empty ourselves to the will of God and what a better way than a honest confession with a contrite heart. Receiving the Holy Eucharist at mass and sharing the love and joy of Jesus Christ with others. Being witness to the mighty word of God and twinkling like a star in society.

The promise of Jesus Christ ' ask and you will receive, seek and you will find and knock on the door and it will be opened unto you ' will come true in our lives. All the gifts, charisms and fruits will be ours. That's the power of the Holy Spirit.
