NIROP:

Children, Love Your Parents -Fr. Nevel L.S. Gracias The fourth commandment exhorts us to honor and love our parents (Exodus 20:12) The Apostle Paul pointed out that this was the only commandment that came attached with a promise. “Honor your father and mother so that it may go well with you and you may enjoy long life�

(Ephesians 6:2) Yet despite knowing that honoring our parents is the right thing to do, it's far too easy to shun their advice. Too often we convince ourselves so that they cannot possibly understand what we are going through, that they really have no idea what we want or need or in this age of technology our parents are outdated. They are not. They have got life experience. They want the well-being of their children. It is with their appreciation, correction and advice that they guide their children. You won't find another father and mother. It is useless to cry when they are dead and gone. Show them your love when they are alive.

Pray for them. It will be impossible to honor them without praying for them. Pray for their health. Pray for peace of mind and generosity of heart. Pray for their well being always.

Be thankful for them. When we came to this world we were helpless. They helped us to talk, they helped us to walk, they washed us, fed us, clothed us. They taught us to pray and to study. What we are today, is because of our parents.

Talk to them respectfully. It is important that we strive to activate our relationship with the people God places in our lives. And there is no one more important than our parents. Resentment and frustration towards our parent reveals a heart that isn't thankful. Many a times we hurt them with harmful words and sinful actions. Do they deserve all this?

Children, on your day on 14th November, we celebrate you. Most of the times we talk about parents' love to their children. But here's a reminder that children should love and honour their parents.

MESSAGE

Guardian Angels…Guard and Protect Us -Fr. Oliver Fernandes "No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, for to His Angels God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone". Psalm 91: 10-12 Guardian Angel is an heavenly spirit assigned by God to watch over each of us during our lives. The doctrine of angels is part of the Church's tradition. The role of the guardian angel is both to guide us to good thoughts, works and words, and to preserve us from evil.

Since the 17th century the Church has celebrated a feast honoring them in October throughout the Universal Church. Since the last calendar revision, this feast is October 2.

He has charged His angels with the ministry of watching and safeguarding every one of His creatures that behold not His face. Kingdoms have their angels assigned to them, and men have their angels; these latter it is to whom religion designates the Holy Guardian Angels. Our Lord says in the Gospel, "Beware lest ye scandalize any of these little ones, for their angels in heaven see the face of My Father." The existence of Guardian Angels, is, hence a dogma of the Christian faith: this being so, what ought not our respect be for that sure and holy intelligence that is ever present at our side; and how great our solicitude be, lest, by any act of ours, we offend those eyes which are ever bent upon us in all our ways!

BE GENEROUS TOWARDS THE MISSIONS From St. Diogo's Church Guirim-Sangolda 2014 – Rs. 1,50,150/2015 – Rs. 2,04,149/2016 – Rs. 2,11,118/ Pray for those working in the Missions.  Put generously in the envelopes, Sunday collection. Buy Mission Calendars.  Give witness with your authentic Christian life.

MULAKHAT: INTERVIEW:

“To be happy, live for others”

Mrs. Selena D'Souza e Po is our parishioner residing at Alto Bela Vista for the last three years, is a dynamic and multi-facet personality. Married to Jose Mario Po from Caranzalem, she along with her husband is the Founder Selena Po and Manager of Chubby Cheeks Spring Valley High School, Pilerne which is a co-ed school, imparting education to over 1000 students. She is blessed with three talented children Riona, Rithika and Rizya. This family is immensely blessed by the Lord and they share what they have with others. PRERNA is happy to put before its readers some of her view points.

PRERNA: Mrs. Po, along with your husband, you founded this much acclaimed school….

SELENA:We had a dream. And to fulfill this dream, we made a lot of sacrifices. Now everyone can see the fruits of our hard work. In the school we stress on discipline and values and the academic results are the fruits of value based education. However in many cases we are doing what the parents are supposed to do. They have failed in their responsibilities and we've to step up to give right direction to the child. And we are happy when our efforts bear fruit.

PRERNA:Formally, you were an active member of Holy Family Church.

SELENA:When the Holy Family Chapel was elevated to a Church, I was the member of the first Parish Pastoral Council, helping to build the small Christian communities; was a member of the Choir taught catechism, and took active part in all Church related activities. Although we are busy with our school, we mostly give our evening time to the Lord.

PRERNA:Now that you are a member of our Church, we have a lot of expectations. You have done your Liturgical Course and is appointed as a Eucharistic Minister…

SELENA:God has blesses me immensely and I am ready to share these blessings alongwith my family. My children also show an inclination to share their gifts and talents and I support them in all the Church related activities.

Now that I belong to St. Diogo's Church, I will strive to support the Pastors in all that they do for us and also request my children to share their talents for the Church.

PRERNA: Mrs. Po, you are good in cooking, gardening, stitching and you share all your goodness with others.

SELENA: God has blessed us differently and immensely. Its only when we share that we make other happy. To live for others should be our motto in life.

JOY OF LIVING -Lourenco Mendonca Very often parents and children are not on the same page. In the family there is conflict, heart burn and retaliation. The situation is depressing at times with no sight in resolution. This leads to marital discord, child abuse and disaster.

Let's reflect what our Christian faith has in store for us in such situations.

Our God is God of peace. When you are in union with Him, there is no disorder of any sort. We have to place Jesus in control of our life for there to be order.

Let me give forth a few tips from my own experience. To start with, we have to cultivate good habits. Our daily living has to follow a pattern of habits and behaviour both in family and society, and this way of living has to be diligently followed day by day. Regular repetition makes us fall in line with happy living.

Habit formation is easy when we remind ourselves all the time of the new way of life we are attempting to follow. Make it a routine in a day to day living.

At once we can see the rewards of this lifestyle. The benefits are many. What more than getting a feeling of happiness within oneself and then find its radiance seen in one's own family. We do not develop good habits automatically or just like that in any way of living. You have to individually develop it with full knowledge of yourself. Your plus points, your high's and your feel good areas of living.

Skillfully you have to navigate this personal evaluation with effort and self confidence.

Commitment to positive results gives self a boost and good vibes. The high esteem factor.

Praise God for our Christian upbringing. The Word of God has to be the anchor of our Christian life. In a systematic way we have to read and understand the teaching of the Apostles. We live in a family and parish. It is important to assimilate the Scriptures in our daily life. That's the foundation of good living.

Together we have to break bread in the family and Church. It is important to be faithful to our God. Participate in small Christian community meetings. These get togethers give us an opportunity to grow in Jesus Christ. A personal prayer praising God and walking with Him leads us to grow in intimacy with Him. The Holy Spirit enables us to connect with God the Father and Jesus Christ.

Happy & Smiling PersonsSlowly and surely, we will find ourselves growing in gratitude of God and thanking Him for all that he has given us. A communion with Jesus is an indispensable condition for bearing good fruit.

You will see blessings pour down without measure. Prosperity and success will not be far behind.

The Thoughts and Imaginations

Jivit Tujem Lilly de Souza

-Perpetua A. Ferrao Jivit tujem Nhoi borea chitnamnim Borea anvddeannim Borea utramnim Punn borea kornneamnim Sodanch bhorchem

The super powers in humans, Are thoughts and imaginations; Our achievements in life, they can, Bloom our personal ambitions.

The materializations, Of these Creator's gifts and wonder, Rest in our determinations, Hence good thoughts, never surrender.

Creation is the thought of God, The inventions are human thoughts; They too are blessed by the Lord, In God's eye, they are but a dot.

Concentrations on divine thoughts, Accomplishes union with God. Hence during prayers we ought, To submit our desires to Lord.

Live Your Dreams -Rozenda Fernandes Dream, dream, dream! All love the dream. Whatever ones status may be old or young, poor or rich, we all have dreams. Our life is incomplete without our dream world. Dreams are like stars, one may not touch them, but if one follows them, they will lead us to us destiny. As soon as one has a dream to follow, then your life has a desire to achieve that dream. Most of us dream the possible, but sometimes also the impossible. Sometimes our dreams confuse us and we end up with a wrong path to follow, or with disastrous results.

Sometimes we fail. And when challenges make you disheartened, do not be afraid to fail. It is better to do the right things slowly, than doing the wrong things quickly. So to achieve a dream, start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. All of us have a short life to live. So give to all around your very best.

One may get a lot of negative feedback from others and a lot happens on the road on which one must travel, but do you any person who did not have obstacles in life. If one wants to succeed in life, selfmotivation is essential and important. One must motivate oneself. One must keep one's spirit high, no matter how discouraged a situation might make you.

Time has proved that dreams with 'self motivation' gives the world its 'winners'.

Winners have dreams and they dream of only winning. And their dream sees the light of the day, because of their strong self-motivation.

A few things to keep in mind to blossom your dreams into reality, and achieve your goals in life and keep your dreams alive: Believe in yourself.

Keep in mind that you are special and you have full authority on yourself. Hard work, determination and self-motivation are the keys to achieve dreams.

Think positively. Don't give up. If plan A fails remember there are still 25 other alphabets remaining. Acknowledge small achievements and give thanks to God for all the graces you have received, because even though you are born through a mother, He is your Creator and everything happens according to his plans. Above all, keep in mind that failure in exams is not the end of the world.

Life is much more than answering an exam.

So dream high, live your dreams and make your dreams come true!

QUESTION-ANSWER:

Marriage A Gift From God QUESTION: Why are marriages breaking up these days?

ANSWER: A closer study of divorced families will reveal the absence of God in such marriages. In fact, the last time God was made part of their life was probably when he blessed the union at the altar on their wedding day. Thereafter He has been forgotten.

We can list some of the reasons we have divorces and separations in the world today.

1. Infidelity: Extra marital affairs are chiefly responsible for the breakdown of most marriages that ends in divorce.

2. Money: Everything from different spending habits and financial goals causing a power struggle can strain marriage to the breaking point.

3. Lack of Communication: For not being able to communicate effectively, leads to resentment and frustration for both, impacting all aspects of a marriage.

4. Constant arguing: From bickering about chores to constant arguing about the kids kills many relationships. Many find it hard to see the other person's point of view, which leads to a lot of conflicts.

5. Unrealistic expectations: It's easy to go into marriage with lofty expectations.

These expectations can put a lot of staring on the other person leaving you feeling let down and setting your marriage up for failure.

6. Lack of equality: Every couple must live together as two equals who enjoy a respectful, harmonious and joyful relationship.

Some of the reasons for marriages breaking up are frivolous and downright petty.

And this breaking up has a lasting impact on their children, and there are higher rates of depression, lower self-esteem and emotional distress. Before such thing happens in your marriage, please reflect: Do you accept one another as you are? Is Jesus the centre of your marriage? Do you allow the Holy spirit to guide you? Please reflect‌

MONTE BYTES: 'Life is like riding a bicycle, you don't fall off unless you stop pedaling'. Life continues at Monte by organizing and participating in various academic and nonacademic activities. The month of August began with the First Formative Assessment held from 1st Aug to 4th Aug. Our students excel not only at Monte but also at interschool competitions conducted by other institutions. Ms. Puja Basuli, Master Joshua Fernandes and Master Jeeshan won the 3rd place at 'GLOW ON' competition on science tricks organized by St. Michael's School, Anjuna. Ms Annely Lobo and Master Rick Serrao bagged 3rd place in the Konkani dialogue competition conducted by Thomas Stephen Kendre, Porvorim.

On the occasion of Independence day, a programme was organized in the school hall with Sir Rockson Fernandes, ex-teacher of the school as the chief guest. Since the school is celebrating its 75th Jubilee year and 25 years of National Open School, Teacher's Day was celebrated by felicitating teachers teaching in the school and exteachers who retired during the last 25 years. A mass and cultural programme was organized by the students to thank and appreciate the teachers. Mr. Jayesh Salgaonkar, Honourable Minister for Housing RDA and MLA of Saligao Constituency was the chief guest for the day.

Now its time for a break from extracurricular activities as our students are preparing to answer the First Summative Examinations. All the best dear students.
