PASTOR SPEAKS

REFLECT AND RENEW This year we are beginning the lenten season from 06th March, 2019. Lent once again reminds us of the three traditional means to be holy, prayer, fasting and thanksgiving. We wish our prayers to be heard. Saint Augustine says: “If you wish your prayer to fly toward God, give it two wings: fasting and almsgiving.�

Ash Wednesday is a day of decision. Whatever we decide to give up during lent, we are doing it to reform our lives. If giving up has no appeal because it sound too much like a diet 'take up' instead. Giving up, fasting or taking up can teach us self discipline. So it is a start. Although we long to perform grand and magnificient acts of love, we may still take a l l t h e t i n y opportunities for love that each day brings.

While we fast from certain things, it is time to feast on other things.

Fast from judging others, feast on the Christ dwelling in others; fast from words that pollute, feast on words that give life.

Fast from discontent, feast on gratitude. Fast from anger, feast on patience; fast from complaining, feast on gratitude. Fast from bitterness, feast on forgiveness. Fast from self concern, feast on compassion for others. Fast from idle gossip, feast on the purposeful silence. Fast from personal anxiety, feast on unceasing prayer.

How can you expect to breathe in when you refuse to breathe out?

Breathing is a kind of giving and receiving. An anonymous ancient Christian writer once said; 'You who have offered nothing to God, what do you expect to receive from God?' Let us begin our lenten journey with an ardent desire to reflect on our lives, asking God to give us the grace to preserve on the journey with a willingness to change ourselves.

INTERVIEW:

“Entrust your life to God” -Dr. Cheryl Ann Melo She is the daughter of Adv. Yves Zuzart and Mrs. Doris Zuzarte, sister of late Ian Zuzarte from Perxet, Guirim. She was born in Bombay in 1966 did her schooling in St. Mary's High School, Mapusa, her higher education in St. Xavier's college, Mapusa, MBBS, MD in Goa Medical College and Hospital, Bambolim. She is married to Dr. Jose Savio Melo, also from our parish, Professor and Head of Department of Pulmonary Medicine Terna Medical College and Terna Sahyadri Hospital and Research Centre Nerul, Navi Mumbai. We are happy to meet Dr. Cheryl Ann Melo, the consultant Chest Physician who practices at Graca Costa Polyclinic Parra and she was very happy to express her views for our readers.

PRERNA: Dr. Cheryl, inspite of your busy schedule you are a member of the Charismatic Group, SSVP and you take active part in the Church activities…

DR. CHERYL:I take keen interest in Church activities as God takes keen interest in minute details of my life. God has blessed me with so many hours in a day. It wouldn't be right if I didn't make time for God by taking part in the Church activities as it is more blessed to give then to receive. Love of God and His Kingdom was incultated in me during my childhood by my dear parents.

PRERNA: As this pastoral year is dedicated to the poor, what can we do for them?

DR. CHERYL:We should understand the poor, empathize with them and reach out to them to fulfil the physical and spiritual needs.

PRERNA: As a doctor, what would you prescribe our parishioners to maintain our health?

DR. CHERYL:My sincere advice is to have a low carbohydrate, high protein; low fat diet which includes fruits and vegetables. Don't forget to exercise regularly.

PRERNA: As a parishioner, how can we make our Church lively and vibrant?

DR. CHERYL:Welcoming new comers at the Sector level, having interactive programmes for various age groups once a month, fellowship with parishioners after Sunday and daily mass are my few suggestions.

PRERNA: ...And a message to our readers...

DR. CHERYL:Pray, entrust your life to God, give to the needy, forgive self and others. Be thankful, joyful, read and obey God's word.

Attend the Holy Eucharist as often as possible to receive God's grace and mercy.

God! the wonderful creator!

And his creatures doctor!

His marvellous creations, Puzzle us with administration.

On the third day of Creation, God grew the vegetation, Now ayurvedics declared, The herbs in wonder drugs blessed.

The queen of herbs is Tulasi, In diet to boost health is easy.

Cultivate them around your home, Even the mosquitoes will not roam.

Diabetes and other ills, Are cured by neem plant leaves Better learn its many uses, And plant them near your houses.

The prayer is medicine.

If the sick is without sin, The wonderful God hear us, The cure is miraculous.

FAITH IN GOD Lourenco D Mendonça Our God is a loving, caring, forgiving and mercy full God. Again and again He is ushering us in His arms. His ways are not ours, His thoughts are not ours and His corrections are only a way to get us back to Him. Recently I visited an old friend of mine who was going though a difficult phase in post treatment of a serious illness. We all know the state of mind, body and finances of such a person. The glint in the eyes was enough to tell me this patient was determined to live. But how. Totally stressed out in trauma of treatment, no body for company except the house help and finances in distress.

Lost for resources in this fight for life both mental and physical.

After listening to all what the patient had to speak of living the ways of the world and then the entry to hospital, it was a familiar journey for me and most of us.

A long silence later I picked up courage to counsel with the words from the Bible : ' But with God everything is possible ' Matthew 19:26. Believe in Him and be saved. Then in prayer of expectant faith Psalms 116, this parched soul's eyes I noticed turned to sparkle. I could see tears rolling down when we said the Lord's prayer together. Faith in God had sprouted once again.

I left praising God and feeling good. I believed God's healing grace and blessings would follow.

PARENTS: OUR ROLE MODELS -Danika Pinto Parents play the biggest role in our development. Father and mother play an important role in our mental, physical, social, financial and career development. They help us in every step of our life.

Parents are the most precious gift of God for humans. Our happiness is their happiness. In times of mistake, they are like a teacher. They train us very hard for the future challenges.

Parents live for us. They are like God and our first teachers. They know everything about us. What we like, love and our common habits. They know what things disturb us and what kind of mental attitudes we have.

When something bad happened or we did wrong they shout at us but they support us in our difficult times.

Whatever the situation or whatever is the problem that we are facing in our life, they try to motivate and inspire us by their own examples to make tough into good. They are the real leaders in our life and they never show off this to us and never dominate our feelings.

Parents soon come to know that something worng is happening with us. That's why when the outer world or people leave us alone, our parents are the only support in our life with smiles and happiness.

Parents help us when we our confused in life. What to do or what not to do? They help us in taking the important decisions of life. Sometimes they don't like our decisions and behave rudely with us but in the end, they choose our happiness other than their interests. They want a happy life for us. I know friends, we can't explain our parents feelings, compromises, appreciations, qualities and importance on one page. Even thousands of pages are small o write about the importance of parents in our lifes. But I suggest you'll we all should take care of our parents, always talk to them, never ignore them for others. Feel proud of your parents, respect their views, follow their guidelines and communicate with them about your problems. Don't change for show off.

This world is not going to give you anything, everything remains on earth, but parents are not with us for all the time. Love your parents forever!

LEKH

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER Aleta D'Souza Don't judge a book by its cover, as all that glitters is not gold. We all judge people at first sight as mostly the first impression is the last impression. And why not! After all we are humans! But this needs to be changed and in the modern world, education has the power to do so.

Whenever we purchase a book by looking at its attractive cover and later realize it is not the type we thought it would be. Then we realize that we have fallen prey to the first technique of advertisement. Similarly in life we judge many people. They may be good or bad but we often fail to realize the truth-the in built hidden goodness of a person.

Many peple love to show-off by wearing, expensive and branded stuff, just to fit in among the so called 'stylish'. However always remember, 'A beautiful face, will always fade away, but a beautiful soul will forever bloom its beauty like the lotus.'
