OUR PATRON SAINT

ST.GREGORIOS

As mentioned under ‘Who Are We?’ St. Geevarghese Mar Gregorios (1848 – 1902) whom we fondly call Parumala Thirumeni, is our Parish’s Patron Saint. It so happens that for so many Parishes in the USA, India and elsewhere, Parumala Thirumeni is their Patron Saint. It is not surprising because Parumala Thirum....

SPECIAL

MESSAGES

His Grace Mathews Mar Barnabas

Dearly beloved, we are glad to know that you are introducing a web site in the Internet for the benefit of all who watch your programs. I wish all success for your endeavor.

May I remind you of the infinite potentialities and possibilities God has bestowed on us, however insignificant and sinful we may be. As created in the image of God and redeemed by His blood, and born again from the Holy Spirit, we can grow to perfection even as the Heavenly Father is perfect. This is meant for the whole mankind. What we have to do is to respond and cooperate whole-heartedly without break. If we refuse to do so, God cannot be blamed for our failure. When we pray earnestly and obey wholeheartedly, God's grace will continue to work in us; transforming us.

With prayers and best wishes,

Yours in our Lord,

I am immensely pleased to greet everyone who is gracious enough to visit our website. This is Christmas season, when the whole world looks forward to greet and meet the Lord Jesus, the Son of God who became Immanuel to be with us humans. His Father sent him to us, because He loved the world. As St. John says "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life". (3:16). Manifestation of love is in the giving. God loved the world; he gave a perfect gift to the world, His only Son. This is the basis of all gift giving during Christmas. We remember our loved ones and give love, compassion and gifts.

Jesus came to bring peace and life to all people and individuals to the world. How much do we need it now in our hearts; in the land where he was born and in various trouble spots of the world where humans behave inhumanly to his fellow humans. "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and goodwill towards all, universally not limited to ones own race or kindred.

Jesus loved humans so much, he died for them. There is no more love greater than his that someone is willing to die for someone else. How much the world needs this sacrificial love that gives life and light to others. Let us remember we have to love one another, because He loved us first. Let us love one another and let Jesus be born again in us and in the world around us.

"Lord Jesus Come" A joyous Christmas and a blessed New Year to all our friends all over the world. May God bless us all.
