Apostles' Creed of the Catholic Church: How to profess വിശ്വാസ പ്രമാണം?
Apostles' Creed is a solemn statement of Christian Faith composed by the 12 Apostles of the Divine Master Lord Jesus Christ and used for the proclamation of Faith in most Christian Churches particularly the Universal Catholic Church. And in the Catholic Church, the 'Pronouncement of Faith' is an important event observed during the Holy Mass and other Prayers regularly.
The Apostles Creed is a powerful prayer as well. It is definitely more powerful than a Prayer. It is the action and process of 'affirming openly' a Christian's Faith to the world, gladly, proudly, and boldly. Sometimes proclaiming the Apostles Creed can even cost one's life, as we have been seeing these days in many countries like Nigeria, where Christian persecution has become a regular affair by the anti-Christian elements, especially the islamic terrorists!
Proclaiming the Apostles' Creed is a very powerful and effective action against satanic attacks. There are many devotees who pledge their 'Christian Faith' in times of danger and get immediate help from above. There are many stunning testimonies from many people who have even escaped wild animals' attacks by saying the Apostles' Creed!
Unfortunately, the Apostles Creed is not declared by some people with a clear understanding of its meaning and value. Most people by heart it and recite it automatically from their memory without perceiving properly the meanings of the content.
How to say the Apostles Creed in Church? What 'Spiritual Body Language' is to be observed while reciting the Statement of Faith?
The Apostles' Creed is to be uttered or proclaimed aloud and clearly. While saying the Statement of Faith in the Church, one must stand erect. It is better to keep the right hand above the heart (on the left chest, as we do while making the National pledge) while proclaiming the Faith Creed than to keep hands joined as we do while Praying. (Whenever we make any prayer, we should keep the hands joined).
Apostles' Creed in English:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under pontius pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into the hades; on the third day, He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Tabor Retreat Center Thodupuzha latest notification അറിയിപ്പ്
Tabor Retreat Center at Ezhumuttom near Thodupupuzha in the Idukki district of Kerala is one of the oldest Catholic Charismatic Retreat Centers in India. It was started, as a small prayer group by Late Rev Fr (Dr) Augustine Pallikkunnel in 1976, when the Catholic Charismatic moment first arrived in India. Prayers were held every month for the natives of Ezhumuttom village and its surroundings in the beginning. As unusual miracles started to occur among the participants of the Prayer, The Prayer group grew up into a bigger gathering, and the founder Priest named it as 'Thabor Prayer House'.
As Prayers at Tabor Center became very intensive and the happening of miracles became a regular incident, obviously people from other districts also started to come to Tabor to attain various intentions like the healing of incurable diseases and obtaining impossible favors through Prayer. Thereafter the growth of Tabor was very fast as its name and fame spread across the other districts of the state also.
And today, all the spiritual activities in the fully grown and Spirit-filled Retreat Center are being conducted under the efficient direction of Rev Fr Georgy Pallikkunnel, the nephew of Rev Fr Augustine Pallikkunnel, as a rare coincidence in the Catholic Church!! Just as great Prophet Elijah cast his mantle upon his disciple Elisha, Rev Dr. Augustine gave his God-given authority to his brother's son Rev Fr Georgy to run the Retreat center and be a solace to the multitude.
Just as Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's power, Rev Fr Georgy is specially anointed by the Almighty God in such a way that God makes known through his tongues the countless blessings and favors to all who approach him in the prayer center! Georgy Achan's prayers and spiritual contributions are the reason behind the steady growth of Tabor Retreat Center in the Kothamangalam Diocese and to remain as one of the top Retreat Centers in Kerala.
Different spiritual activities being held at Thabor Retreat Center:
Inner Healing Retreats (ആന്തരിക സൗഖ്യ ധ്യാനം) held twice every month are the specialty of Tabor Retreat Center. These 4-day retreats begin on the first and third Sundays of every month and end on the following Thursdays. In the future, these Retreats may be conducted every week if the demand increases. You can book an inner healing Retreat (ആന്തരിക സൗഖ്യ ധ്യാനം) and make online payment of Rs 800/- through the official website of Tabor Retreat Centre, Ezhumuttam, Thodupuzha.
One Day Bible Convention (ഏകദിന ധ്യാനം) Saturday 1-day Retreat:
The most attractive and accepted Spiritual Service conducted by Tabor Retreat Center is the 'One-Day Roohabhishekam Bible Convention' also known as the 'One-day റൂഹാഭിഷേകം retreat' that takes place every Saturday. Tens of thousands of people attend this Saturday Prayer service even from far away places and receive umpteen intentions that materialize miraculously. The personal testimonies shared by the participants/recipients will narrate clearly, how much the Almighty God honors the words foretold by HIS loyal servant Rev Fr Georgi Pallikkunnel (junior)!
These Bible Conventions begin at 6.15 am with the Holy Mass on Saturdays. Holy Rosary Prayers and other Spiritual activities are conducted thereafter. Live Telecasting is made available through Tabor's youtube channel from 9.00 am. People residing in other states or countries can watch the programs through their youtube channels and participate, if unable to attend personally.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsnUMaJBoTRp4UBGEU3Kkeg
Bus services and Route map:
Tabor is situated at Ezhuttam which is 12 km away from Thodupuzha - Karimannoor route. From Thodupuzha special KSRTC buses ply to and from the Retreat Center every Saturday. There are some private buses also that run between Thabore and Todupuzha. Tabor's own bus picks and drops retreatants from the main road at Ezhumuttom. As of now at 9.15 am a KSRTC bus starts from Thodupuzha private bus stand. And a private bus at 9.30 am. Those who get down at the main road at Ezhumuttom can either walk or hire an auto-rickshaw or get Tabor's bus.
Please contact the Retreat Center at 9544767260 to know the exact timings of the buses.
Coffee/snacks/meals:
Bread is distributed free of cost to the one-day retreatants after the Holy Mass at 1.00 pm on Saturdays. There is also a coffee shop cum cafeteria and a canteen where coffee/refreshments and meals are served at affordable prices.
Miracles:
Many people testify about the miraculous occurrence of numerous impossible things through the verbal assurance of the Director Priest, provided the devotee keeps faith in Jesus Christ and fulfills the conditions prescribed by the Priest scrupulously (usually a certain number of Rosary Prayers). I, the author have experienced such a miracle - my son received a job miraculously within just a week)! Thanks be to Lord Jesus Christ and Thabor Matha!

Jesus Youth Movement's Prolife Ministry OATH to defend life
Jesus Youth Movement is the largest International Catholic Youth Organization in the world that is approved by the Holy See and strives and encourages everyone particularly the teenagers and the youth to lead a worthy Christian life based on the values of Christianity.
Jesus Youth International has many vibrant initiatives to achieve its many Bible-derived goals. Pro-Life Army is one of the active Ministries of the Jesus Youth Movement. The primary objective of the Pro-life ministry is to defend the life which is a very valuable gift of God... from the very moment of conception in the mother's womb until natural death. Hence Jesus Youth's pro-life army works tirelessly against the worst evil 'abortion' which has been legalized in some countries and backed by some people!
Members of Jesus Youth's pro-life ministry take a voluntary Oath vowing to strive for the safeguarding of Life.
OATH (and Prayer) to PROLIFE
And as we, the pilgrim people of life and for life, make our way in confidence towards a new culture of life, we take below oath in the presence of God.
"Dear God,
We remember the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy.
I shall proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people around me. I shall spread the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout my life and shall courageously stand to respect and defend the precious gift of life from the moment of conception to natural death, resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of goodwill, the civilization of Truth and Love, to the praise and glory of God the Creator and lover of life.
Mother Mary, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us."

Best Christian de-addiction Centre (Treatment & Retreat) in Kerala-Snehasadan, Munnar
There are many de-addiction centers in Kerala. While some are started and function merely on commercial lines (as it is a thriving business), some others are founded with the noble purpose of freeing the hapless but valuable souls from the clutches of evil powers that have captivated and enslaved them. Sneha Sadhan Retreat Center at Ellakkal, near Kunchithanni near Munnar in Idukki, is one such.
Snehasadan is an amazing Christian Retreat and Revival Centre attached to a reputed healthcare institution named St Xaviers Hospital run by Catholic Nuns belonging to the Medical Sisters of St Joseph (MSJ) under the jurisdiction of the Syro-Malabar Diocese of Idukki. According to 'Servant of God' Monsignor Joseph C. Panjikaran, the founder of the MSJ Congregation, the main objective of the Congregation is to consider every soul very precious and to win the souls by treating the bodies very kindly and sympathetically.
As Snehasadan Retreat and Rehabilitation center is located close to Munnar, the climate is very crisp and brisk here! One will neither feel hot and sweating nor cold and shivering. And as the Retreat Centre is located in a serene atmosphere, it is geographically also very ideal for doing meditation and reinvigorating one's body, mind, and soul. The centre has modern amenities to meet the physical and spiritual needs of hundreds of people at a time including delicious breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner and comfortable accommodation!
Very effective de-addiction programs (called camps) are held here for drug and alcohol addicts that last for 10 days. During the first five days, the patient is given medications as required after a thorough examination and spiritual healing is done during the second part of the treatment for 5 days. As the whole process is done by dedicated and devoted Sisters (Nuns) with the help of other trained staff/volunteers, every person will be taken special care of.
Snehasadan Retreat centre is not meant for drug addicts alone. It is a lovely place for those who are seeking an 'inner-healing' or 'deliverance' retreat. As the threat of the pandemics has disappeared and the covid protocols have been withdrawn, several types of Spiritual Retreats are held there for different age groups like children, teenagers, youths, adults, families, etc. Retreats are conducted by Spirit-filled Rev Fathers, Sisters, and gifted laity preachers. Whoever attends a five-day retreat in Snehasadan becomes Spiritually, mentally, and physically rejuvenated.
As mentioned above, the prime focus of Snehasadan is to win souls. It is not a commercial center. The fees charged for food, accommodation, classes are very nomminal and affordable. If anyone is not able to pay even the small fees, he/she will be given free admission to the retreat programme.
Please contact the following phone numbers (Mother Superior or Director Sister) to inquire about the dates and schedules of Normal Retreats and/or deaddiction camps and to make an advance booking.

Nalpatham Velli നാല്പതാം വെള്ളി 40th day in Holy Lent & Kozhukkatta thirunnal
Nalpatham Velli means the fortieth Friday. It is actually the fortieth Day in the Holy Season of Lent from the Danaha Thirunnal (Pethratha) according to the Eastern Christians in Kerala, that falls on a Friday. If calculated Friday-wise from the Ash Monday (Kurisuvara Thirunnal), it is the sixth Friday in the Valiya Nombu!
Nalpatham Velly rituals (നാല്പതാം വെള്ളി ആചരണം) are marked in most Churches of the Syro-Malabar Sabha. Nalpatham Velli reminds the devotees who are on Fasting and Abstinence to intensify their spiritual and devotional activities for the Holy Week (പരിശുദ്ധ വാരം) that starts a couple of days after the 40th Friday. Usually, those faithful who failed to observe abstinence strictly until then (owing to various reasons) observe the last week of Lent (Holy Week) very strictly.
On the Fortieth Friday, most Churches conduct the Way of the Cross in a Solemn manner to the nearby pilgrim mounts (Kurishumala). Devotees (even non-Christians) in large numbers even from far away places participate piously in this 'Kurisinte Vazhi' prayer undertaking many penitential activities voluntarily for the atonement and forgiveness of one's sins. Kanji is served to all after the Nalpatham Velly Prayers.
The Saturday that falls after Nalpatham Velli (before Palm Sunday/Hosanna Njayar) is known as Kozhukkattta Shani. In most Christian families they make കൊഴുക്കട്ട, a round-shaped pastry with rice flour that looks like stones! There are two beliefs associated with the Kozhukkatta snack.
Some people say that when the Lord Jesus Christ went to bring back to life again the dead Lazarus in Bethani, before a few days of His Passion and death, his sisters prepared some eatables similar to Kozhukkatta to serve the Lord! Some others think that these kozhukkattas are to mark the stones that were taken to throw on the Lord by the Jews!
This year's (2022) Nalpatham Velli (40th Day / sixth Friday) in the holy Lent falls on April 8th.

Watch Live: Consecration Ceremony of Russia & Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Holy Mary
The whole world is preparing to witness the historical event within hours, which was demanded by the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Lord Jesus Christ when she gave her apparition in Fatima a hundred years ago. Our Blessed Lady of Fatima (in Portugal) appeared to three shepherd children from 13th May and 13th October in 1917. During Her apparitions, the Holy Mother had prophecized some matters to the children and asked them to reveal some to the authorities and to keep some of the prophecies as secrets until the Mother permitted them to reveal.
The Holy Mother asked repeatedly for repentance. She showed them a multitude of unrepenting sinners falling into hell. She also asked to pray for the conversion of sinners. The Holy Mother also foretold the time of the end of the 1st world war in 1918 and the beginning of the 2nd world war in 1939. The Holy Mother asked for the consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart. But for fear or some other reasons, the Heads of the Catholic Church never performed it specifically to date. And when Russia started attacking Ukraine, following the plea of Ukrainian Bishops and others, the Pope has decided to do that consecration ceremony immediately.
The Pope has invited all the Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, nuns and the laity to participate in the historical event to be held on 25th of March 2022 (the Solemnity of the Annunciation) at 6.30 pm Italian Time or 5.30 pm GMT for which the world is keenly looking forward to.
Please check your local time and try to participate in this great global Spiritual event live. At a time when Russia is possing to be the worst threat to humanity, Consecrating Russia to the Holy Heart of the Mother of God is the last hope left for the world.
Join live the Pope and the global devotees' community to offer Russia to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mother who will purify it and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Her Son Jesus Christ!
Here is the Act (Prayer) of consecration by Pope Francis in PDF format.

Nalpathumani Aradhana (Forty hours Holy Eucharistic Devotion) നാല്പതുമണി ദിവ്യ കാരുണ്യ
What is Nalpathu mani Divyakarunya Aaradhana? (നാല്പതുമണി ദിവ്യകാരുണ്യ ആരാധന)
Nalpathumani stands for nalpathu manikkoor (forty hours) in Malayalam. In many Catholic Churches worldwide, a very powerful Eucharistic devotion is being observed devotedly during the Holy season of Lent. In Kerala too there are many Catholic Churches that observe this Devotion very solemnly and piously for the past 150 years.
Who founded 40-hour Eucharistic Devotion?
According to Wikipedia, A Dominican Priest Rev Fr Thomas Nieto, A Barnabite Clergy St. Antonio Maria Zacharia, and his friend Brother Buono of Cremona, known as the Hermit, are suggested as the founders of the Forty Hours Devotion in the universal Catholic Church.
In Kerala in India, this Sacred ritual was started first by St Chavara Kuriakose Eliyas (Chavara Achan) in 1866 in Koonammavu Church. Then in 1867, it was introduced in Mannanam, Vazhakulam, and Elthuruth Catholic Churches. Thereafter it spread to many Forane Churches and monasteries. Today, though it is unfamiliar to all Catholics in Kerala, it is observed in many Churches with great pomp and gaiety like a Church festival!
During the 3-day Nalpathumani Aaradhana, the Holy Eucharist is exposed in a golden monstrance in the Church Altar for public adoration. People (including non-Christians) in large numbers throng to these Holy places and worship the Compassionate Lord Who is visible in the form a white Bread. And many people who participate piously in this spiritual ritual experience numerous blessings and miracles in their lives.
Hence all the people residing in and around the places of Churches where 40-hour Eucharistic Adoration ceremony is conducted, wait eagerly for this annual ritual to arrive so that they get a rare chance to have a personal vision of the Almighty Lord and to open to HIM directly their hearts and minds in silence..!
