'DANIEL FASTING & PRAYER' 2020 by Shalom Ministry: Information, Instructions



'ഡാനിയേൽ ഉപവാസ പ്രാർത്ഥനാ യജ്ഞത്തിനെപ്പറ്റി' കൂടുതൽ മലയാളത്തിൽ അറിയുവാൻ ഈ വീഡിയോ കാണുക.  

All human efforts taken collectively to tackle effectively the present pandemic conditions has proven futile. Neither man's knowledge nor his scientific inventions could find any solution to curb the spread of this coronvirus. Despite all vain attempts by man, the number of human beings becoming victims to corona virus is spiralling on a daily and hourly basis. This has caused the humanity including those belonging to the developed countries to realise the worthlessness of man. When medical science and human capabilities in which they relied upon failed, they began to shun their vices and turn to God as a last resort, Who alone is the ultimate refuge of the people.


Unless Almighty God Who is the creator and protector, shows HIS mercy, no human being will survive. To implore God's Mercy and compassion, we need to humble ourselves and engage in some spiritual activity that will appease God and will turn to His people's rescue.

In the Holy Bible, 'Daniel Fasting Prayer' is a very powerful and effective spiritual activity through which God rushes to the rescue of His people. When the people commit sins and go away from God's presence, they end up in self made miseries. And when they realize their sins and truly repent and do penance for their wrongdoings, God immediately comes to their aid. 


In the Holy Bible when prophet Daniel saw the afflictions of the people, he 'humbled' himself and observed fasting for three weeks (21 days). And we see God was pleased with His servant's fasting and came to their help.

To implore God's compassion and urgent intervention in our present state of sufferings, Shalom Ministry is holding a "Daniel Fasting Prayer" for the world. People from around the world can participate in this Noble Mission aimed for the global peace and well-being. Spirit-filled Charismatic Preacher Rev Dr Roy Palatty and team will be guiding this 21-days spiritual events through Shalom TV.


Three Prayer intentions of 'Daniel Fasting' (2020 August 01-21):

1. For protection from covid -19 pandemic, wars and global turmoil.
2. For God's immediate Mercy on the humanity.
3. For the sanctity of the Church and Global Evangelisation.

Daniel Fasting Prayer: To do list of Spiritual activities during 21-days:

Catholic Christian Retreat and Renewal Centers in Kerala, India

'Kerala' is termed and known as 'God's own Country'. Though this slogan is used as a promotional advertisement by the tourism department, this slogan is ironically very true. This small state in the southern end of India is specially blessed and chosen by God Almighty as HIS Own dear land with beautiful landscapes, lakes, sea shores, mountains, forests, abundant food and cash crops, sufficient rain fall and good climates. 

Two thousand years ago (in A.D. 52) one of the beloved Apostles of Lord Jesus Christ by name St. Thomas was sent to Kerala by God with His Good News (Gospel) of Salvation and eternal life. It is in this land where St. Thomas (locally called as Mar Thoma Sleeha) constructed the Holy Church of the Lord Jesus Christ by converting the local people by sharing the Good News of the Master with them.

Ever since then, majority of the Christian people of this land are good and true believers of the Lord not just for name sake, but at heart and soul.

It is an amazing fact that majority of the Catholic Priests and nuns serving for the spread and nurturing of the 'Kingdom of God' worldwide are from this tiny state.

Kerala is blessed to have so many vibrant and spirit-filled 'Catholic Christian Spiritual Retreat and Renewal Centers' that serve for the spiritual, physical, mental and social needs of people without any reservations of caste, creed religion or race. Thousands of people belonging to different religions and castes participate in these Prayer meetings and conventions and receive umpteen number of Spiritual, Physical and economical blessings from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is the list of the Leading Retreat centers that are serving not only the people belonging the Catholic or Christian communities but also of all religions.

Do not lie to the Lord in Prayer / Holy Mass...!

When we are in Prayer or Participating in a Holy Mass, never make any prayers with just the lips, without your full attention. For example during the Holy Mass, the Priest says, "Lift up your hearts" and the congregation says in one voice, "we lift them up to the LORD" and then the Priest says, "Let us give thanks to the Lord our God" and the response of the participants is, "It is right to give HIM thanks and Praise."

Many devotees without realizing the meaning of these sayings simply say these responses with the crowd. Is it not a lie...? So, when we say, we have lifted up our hearts to heaven, understand what we are saying and try to truly 'lift up the hearts to GOD'. All responses must come from the heart - and not from the mouth, because the Lord may not like lip services....!

Likewise, when we sing hymns and songs in the Church or at homes, meditate and sing understanding the proper lyrics. Spiritual Devotional songs are not just for the melody or tune, they are also prayers from the depth of the hearts....!

So when we recite or read a Prayer, Let the words and phrases come from our hearts...like...

"Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name....."or "Hail Mary, Full of Grace..." or "Glory be to the Father...."
