Very Important Warning: Start the DIVINE MERCY Novena on GOOD FRIDAY (2nd April, 2021)

We are passing through very uncertain days. Millions of people who lived in this planet just like us, this time last year, are no more. Some of them might have heeded to the cautions and warnings given from Above through many sources and would have attained Eternal Bliss. But many unfortunate souls might be cursing themselves for not listening and may be groaning, murmuring and grinding their teeth. God alone knows!

Why take chances? When you and me have very clear signs of time before us, how unwise and unfortunate it is to live even for a moment in this world without making proper preparation to leave this world anytime (which is not in our hands). Because no one knows when and how his/her life in this world ends.

Dear friend, if you think that you are right and virtuous, please be aware that the devil has blindfolded your eyesight. Please pray earnestly to the Holy Virgin Mother to grant you Divine Grace by Praying the Holy Rosary chaplets. The Holy Virgin Mother, Who is 'full of Grace' will give It in plenty so that you will be able to see clearly the unknown/hidden sins and drawbacks in your life.

How to Receive God's Mercy now... at this moment?

God's Mercy is limitless. The Holy Bible says that "God's Compassion  towards those who fear Him is so great as the heavens are high above the earth" and "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; (Psalm 103).

God's Mercy can be sought and got instantly (free of cost) being at any place. All what is needed is a 'sense of sin' and a 'sincerely repenting heart'. If one can shed some tears thinking one's own wrong deeds/sins, the Eternal Father's compassion will hug that sinner. A honest confession must be made as soon as possible.

What and for what the 'Divine Mercy Novena and Chaplet'?

The 'Divine Mercy Devotion' is a Spiritual commitment taught by the Lord Himself through St Faustina. It is the last chance (hope) for anyone living on this earth. Through Divine Mercy Novena, even a very grave sinner can implore and obtain God's Mercy and attain eternal salvation (like the good thief). 

The Divine Mercy Novena should be begun on the 'Good Friday' and Prayed daily till the 'Divine Mercy Solemnity Day' ie on the 'first Sunday after Easter'. We can pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet (Rosary) for nine consecutive days and get forgiveness of all sins and indulgence also. In this year 2021, the Good Friday falls on the 2nd of April and the Divine Mercy Sunday is on the 11th of April.

Note: 

Beseeching and obtaining 'Mercy of the Divine Master' is very vital. Please never miss it. The value of 'God's Divine Mercy' is priceless. Please never... never... never ignore it.

I am alive now to write this short article and you are alive to read it. We do not know where you and me will be by this time next year!

ഈ വർഷത്തെ (2021) 'ദൈവ കരുണയുടെ നൊവേന' പ്രാർത്ഥനകൾ ദുഃഖ വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച ആരംഭിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു. ഉയിർപ്പു തിരുന്നാളിന് ശേഷമുള്ള ആദ്യ ഞായറാഴ്ച ദൈവ കരുണയുടെ തിരുന്നാൾ ലോകമെങ്ങും ആചരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു! ഒരിക്കലും വില കല്പിക്കാനാവാത്തതും എല്ലാവർക്കും അത്യന്താപേക്ഷിതവും എന്നാൽ  തീർത്തും സൗജന്യവുമായ സ്വർഗ്ഗത്തിന്റെ ഒരു മഹാ ദാനമാണ് 'ദൈവ കരുണ'! 

ദൈവ കരുണയുടെ തിരുന്നാൾ ദിനം ഏതൊരു പാപിക്കും/വ്യക്തിക്കും ദൈവത്തിന്റെ നേരിട്ടുള്ള 'പ്രത്യേക കൃപാവരങ്ങളും' പരിശുദ്ധ കത്തോലിക്കാ സഭ നൽകുന്ന 'പൂർണ ദണ്ഡ വിമോചനവും' സമൃദ്ധമായി പ്രാപിക്കാവുന്നതാണ്.  ആരും ഈ സുവർണാവസരം പാഴാക്കരുതേ എന്ന് സ്നേഹത്തോടു അഭ്യർത്ഥിക്കുന്നു!

Extraordinary Solemn Feasts of St Joseph Celebrated on March -19 and May-1, 2021

 

St Joseph, the just Husband of Holy Virgin Mother and the Forster Father of Lord Jesus Christ has two Solemn Feast Days in the Liturgical calendar every year. One is on March 19, His Birthday (official entry day) in Heaven and the other one is on May 1st Commemorating Him as the patron of all workers in the world.

Why is the Solemnity of St Joseph celebrated in a very special manner this year in 2021?

St Joseph has been venerated as the patron of families in the Catholic Church since beginning. In 1870 on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mother (8th December) Pope Blessed Pius IX declared St Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Catholic Church.

This year commemorating the 150th anniversary of the declaration, Pope Francis proclaimed a 'very special year in honour of St Joseph' starting from 2020 Solemnity of Immaculate Conception to 2021 Feast ie on December 8th.

As the solemn feasts of St Joseph on March 19th and May 1st in 2021 falls in this special year, these feasts are also unusual and very extraordinary..!

Catholic Church clarifies Its stand on same-sex marriage and homosexuality

Following the release of the documentary titled 'Francesco' in October 2020, in which it is alleged that Pope Francis endorsing 'same-sex civil unions', there has been wide confusion and criticism inside and outside the Church saying that the Pope is encouraging 'gay marriages' by asking to legalize it.

The enemies of the Catholic Church used this opportunity very well to attack the Church, saying that the Church is deviating from the Teachings of the Holy Bible and framing its own rules and laws to suit the modern sinful lifestyles.  

Now putting an end to all the confusions that rose out of all the fake propagations, Vatican's 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' (CDF) has released an official statement with clear explanation on the controversial issue. 

The Catholic Church's 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' has made it clear with the approval of the Pope Francis through an official decree that the Church cannot bless same-sex unions or gay marriages.

The Christian community and its pastors must welcome with respect and sensitivity such persons with homosexual inclinations, but their unions cannot be blessed. The Church has a compassionate stand towards the rights and wellbeing of the LBGT persons. But as marriage is a 'Holy Sacrament' aimed for creation and as LBGT reunions do not pave way for it, it cannot be blessed as a sacrament.
