Great Jubilee Year 2033 (Maha Jubilee varsham)

Some of us, [if it is the will of our Lord and Divine Master Jesus Christ], may witness the greatest Jubilee the human race can witness, the 2nd millennium jubilee (2000th Anniversary) of the 'Passion, Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension of the Savior of the humanity.

In the year 2000 many of us prepared, celebrated and witnessed the Great Jubilee Year which was the 2000th Birth year of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Now we are spearheading for the Greatest and Holiest Jubilee year 2033, which will be a mega era in the human history that will commemorate the inexplicable agony and Death of God Who incarnated and took the form of man on the Cross (passion of Christ) to redeem the humanity from destruction and His victorious and Glorious Resurrection in 33 AD.

The year 2033 also marks the great 2000th jubilee of the formation of the Christian Church on earth, the institution of the Holy Eucharist (in which Lord Jesus truly comes in the form of bread), the opening of the doors of Paradise, the descent of God's Holy Spirit on Holy Mother Mary and HIS disciples, the advent of the cruelest persecution in the human history on the early Christians.

While the entire Christian world is striving hard for the total evangelization of the whole earth by then, India's leading evangelizing team Christeen together with Shalom also has already commenced different campaigns to welcome the greatest Jubilee year and make it more fruitful. 

It is the duty of every true Christian to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) of the Lord Jesus Christ to others. If anyone believes, we should lead him to the Lord and to His salvation which is a free gift of God. This salvation can be attained only through that person's knowing, loving, believing and accepting Lord Jesus as his/her Saviour and Redeemer. This should not be done (and will be void if) based on any other benefits or offers. Such religious conversions are of no use at all! 

Without proper knowledge and understanding of the Lord and HIS Church, Christians should not indulge in any act of religious conversions as they will not be of any good. What is important is 'conversion of the heart and soul'. 

Christianity does not give guarantee to its members of any material benefits in this worldly life, but promises everlasting life in the 'Kingdom of GOD'! The Holy Bible says thus, "Whoever embraces Christianity for any worldly reasons are most unfortunate and will be disappointed". (1 Cor 15:19)

Please watch the Malayalam theme song for the Maha Jubilee Varsham:

'Athyunnathanam Atmave... Nithya Sahayakane...
Agni nalamayi nee njangalil Kathi padaraname...

2033 (Randayirathi muppathimoonu) Valsaram vannu cheruvan...
Kathirikkumee dasarinnitha padam maha jubily'

Remain Blessed.....

Please Pray for the Vatican Family Synod which is in progress.

Our Holy Father and the current heir of the throne of the chief of the Apostles of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, Pope Francis has summoned some 191 representatives of the Universal Catholic Church  including Cardinals, Bishops and some lay family people for a Synod to discuss about some hot-button issues.

As the Pope himself has asked for the Prayers of the devoted Christians around the world as the results of this emergency Synod may affect adversely the Catholic Church in connection with certain worldly issues.

It is already foretold by our Lord 2000 years ago that during the end times, many false teachers and doctrines will appear to mislead even the chosen ones and "When the Son of Man comes, will HE find faith on the earth"?

It is evident that the satan has succeeded to win some priests and religious to act as his hidden agents and thus to harm the Church of the Lord built on the strong foundation 'Peter' (rock).

Though satan is clever and cunning, he does not know that he will pathetically fail in his attempt against  the Lord and HIS Bridal Church, though for some time it may appear as if the victory is with him.

Dear Faithful, let us all unite in Praying for the Vatican synod 2014, that the Holy Spirit the Lord will enlighten the minds of every one participating in it and destroy the secret agenda of satan.

Priests, Start the Holy Mass with 'The Lord Be With you', not good morning...! Philippines Cardinal

The call by Manila's Archbishop Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle to the Catholic Priests of Philippines to  shun the habit of beginning the Holy Eucharistic Celebrations with the worldly greetings 'good morning' and to start the Holy Mass with the spiritual utterances, "The Lord be with you".

This can be followed by the Catholic and Christian Priests world over who have this worldly system of appeasing their faithful. 

The Greetings with Blessings, "The Lord Be With you" once said from the heart, contain the highest and most effective wishes one can give to the believers.

When the Priest wishes the gathering before the starting of the Holy Mass, his 'greetings' should come from his body, mind and soul with proper 'spiritual body language' and those who receive them also should reciprocate suitably by replying, 'And Be With your spirit' (earlier 'And Also With you')....!

It is very important to make every word that the mouth utters, come from our self ie our heart and soul.

May God Bless you all....

Blessed Chavara Kuriakose Elias (Chavara Achchan) and Sister Euphrasia (Evuprasamma) are elevated as Saints of the Catholic Churc

Followed by the Canonization of Blessed Sister Alphonsa as the first woman saint and the second person to become a saint from India after  Mumbai based St Gonsalo Garcia [who was born in 1556,desired to become a Catholic Priest, engaged in missionary work in Japan before being martyred in 1597 and was declared a saint by the Catholic Church in 1862], Now the Indian Church in particular and the whole country in general especially the state of Kerala are in jubilation on the declaration of two of its prestigious children loved by most of the backward caste people without any religious discrimination, to be elevated as Saints....!

The announcement of Blessed Father Chavara Kuriakose Elias, popularly called as Chavara Achchan and his disciple and nun Blessed Sister Euphrasia called as 'Evuprasamma' is a twin delight for the 2000 year-old Indian Church establkished by Apostle St. Thomas and the Society founded by Chavara Kuriakose Father, the CMI....!

Father Kuriakose Elias was not only a Spiritual and Religious leader of his time, but also played a significant role in the eradication of untouchability and many other evil practices that prevailed in the Indian society then.

To see his life history and all other information and images/pictures, details of his Holy tomb, the congregations founded by him etc. please check this official website of the Society established by the Saint CMI:

Blessed Mother Mariam Thresia - the Patroness of Families, A True Life story Tele-film in Shalom TV Channel

Blessed Mother Mariam Thresia CHF

The Mega TV Serial in Malayalam on Shalom TV channel on the true life story of Blessed Mother Mariam Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan (Vazhthapetta Mariam Thresia -Kudmbangulude Madhyastha)) is a really worthy program for the Malayali families to watch.

It is the true life story of a great servant of the Lord who lived and served the Lord Jesus Christ in the beautiful Kerala state of India. She was not much known to the general public even though the Congregation (Congregation of Holy Family) she founded is extending its valuable services to the families in general and the poor and the needy in particular.

This great soul who loved to share the Passion of the Lord on her self often thanked the Master for giving her an opportunity to be a small part of HIS Great agony.

When the new generation is getting spoiled by the filthy and dirty TV programs, it is very advisable for the parents to watch and encourage the upcoming generation to watch Spiritual Channels like Shalom TV and help in the moral and ethical growth of the children.

All Christian families specially the Catholic ones should make it a habit and policy to watch only Spiritual Channels and life history of saintly devotees of Lord without wasting a lot of time and the whole life watching meaningless serials and cheap and substandard masala programs.

Let's Unite in Prayer for those lost lives and injured in the St Sebastian's Catholic Church accident, Aroor-Kochi, Kerala.

The news received just now is heart breaking. The Church building under construction at St. Sebastian's Catholic Church at Aroor in Alleppy District of Kerala collapsed and one life is reported lost while some are feared to be trapped under the debris. 

As per available reports one side of the wall gave way and some people are feared to be under the debris. The person who died is from another state of India. 11 people are reported to be admitted in hospital.

The State and District administration has already started to rescue those trapped under the collapsed construction with the help and support of the large gathering of local people including Parishioners and non-Christians. 

May the Almighty Lord give the departed souls peace and cure and heal those injured in the mishap.

Let us all unite in Prayer for those departed souls and their bereaved families and those injures in the unfortunate accident.

God has Chosen new Pope Francis I (formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio) to head HIS Cathoilic Church from 2013 March

Pope Francis I (March, 2013)

After some anxious waiting, the Compassionate Lord Jesus Christ's Most Holy Spirit made the Catholic Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel at Vatican to elect Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to lead HIS Church on earth from March 14th, 2013...!

The new Pontiff who has taken the name Francis I is the first Pope from Latin America to adorn the Royal throne of Apostle St Peter.

He is also the first person from a Missionary Congregation called 'Society of Jesus' (Jesuit)...!

"The Lord's Works are always a Miracle to our eyes"...! Though the prominent world medias made some guesswork and pointed towards some other Cardinals, The Master's Choice was different.

New Pope elected in 2013 for the Universal Catholic Church

The Historic Conclave 2013 of the Catholic Church Cardinals is going on in the st Sistine Chapel to elect the successor to Pope Benedict XVI who resigned from the post to spend more time in Prayer.

The Election of the Pope is different from that of the political or Presidential elections. There are no nominees or any sort of canvasing in the election of the Head of the Catholic Church. 

If for any reason any Cardinal has a remote wish in his heart to become the Pope, he will be considered as unfit by the Holy Spirit of the Lord Who acts as the election commission....!

Logos Bible Quiz 2013 in Shalom TV: World's Largest Bible Quiz.!

The LOGOS BIBLE Quiz, which is considered as the largest Bible Quiz in the world is Presented by the Kerala Catholic Bishops Conference (K.C.B.C) and the Kerala Catholic Bible Society (K.C.B.S) in association with Shalom TV, the most popular Christian Devotional TV Channel in Malayalam. 

The Logos Bible Quiz has the maximum number of participants. The previous quiz held in 2012 had a huge participation of more than half a million Catholics. 

The producers of this great devotional program is widely appreciated by the faithful worldwide. When in the present world, parents of children show more interest to send their kids to the so called 'reality shows' just for the sake of popularity for their children. 

All the parents who sent their children for participating in the logos Bible Quiz are congratulated specially, while the Participants need to be applauded greatly.

Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI (The First Pope in 600 years) Resigning on February 28, 2013

Pope announces his decision to Resign

The Head of the Universal Catholic Church, Holy Father Benedict XVI surprised the world to day, with the announcement of his retirement from the papal post as the pontiff on the 28th of February, 2013 stating health reasons.

The 85 -year-old Pope Benedict the XVI is the first pope to resign from the post in the past 600 years. 

The Pontiff who was elected to the present post in 2005 after Blessed Former John Paul II left for his Heavenly crown, headed the Catholic Church for nearly eight years.

The Pope, by his swift announcement that he is retiring, surprised not only the Catholic Church, but also the whole world including his close aids who were clueless about this...!

The Vatican said that it will elect the next Pope before Easter 2013...!

May the Divine Master Who started His Church, grant another person to lead it in the present times of crisis....!

How to Text (SMS) a Prayer Intention to a Franciscan Friar in New York

New York Friars Texting

The New System of accepting Prayer Requests through Mobile Text Messages (SMSs) by New York based Holy Name Province Franciscan Priests has received huge response within days of its introduction.

Some Devote Friars have decided to use the technology to reach the people and extend their Prayer Support to the needy people through the mobile and internet media. More and more people are using this fast technology to find a solution to their burning problems through the powerful Prayers of the Fathers of St. Francis of Assisi.

To send a Prayer Intention, first Type (TEXT) the word 'PRAYER' and SEND it to 30644. On receiving the message the sender will receive a welcome message from the Priests asking to send the 'intentions for the Prayer. Upon receiving the Prayer Intentions the senders will get a reply stating that their Prayer Requests have been received and will be Prayed upon....!

Lets all Pray for those in need and for those Priests ans faithful who pray for the needy...!

Major Arch bishop Mar Baselios Mar Cleemis Ordained as Cardinal of Catholic Church

The Major Arch bishop of the Syro-Malanakara Catholic Church, Moron mar Baselios Cleemis is ordained and installed as the first Cardinal of Malankara Church by the descendant of Apostle St. Peter, Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI in a historical spiritual celebration in the St. Peters Basilica in Rome just now.

The mega event was witnessed by a large number of Indians particularly Keralites from many parts of the world. More than a thousand people from India including special guests from the Indian Political and social segment also witnessed the spectacular Spiritual event in Vatican. They included Union Ministers, top political leaders, Muslim clergy (Imam) and Hindu swamy.

After the  coronation, the new Cardinal said that he prayed and will continue to pray for India and specially for Kerala. With the installation of Mar Cleemis as a Cardinal (with voting right to elect the Pope), Kerala Church will become proud and blessed to have six Cardinals...!

Cardinals are considered as Princes of the Catholic Church though they wear 'red' gowns which remind them the sacrifices and persecution underwent by the Divine Master, His Apostles and numerous Martyrs. 

All the faithful must pray for the chosen servants of the Lord so that they become more and more humble as they get more and more high positions.

When is the End of the world / end of the age / Judgement Day / Dooms day / December 21, 2012...?

There are many searches in the search engines regarding the end of the world in which we live. Many people who are concerned about their worldly lives make searches to know the exact date of the dooms day, or when the end of the ages really happen as foretold by Lord Jesus Christ.

There are millions of websites and blogs related to the end on December 21, 2012...! Many are worried to leave their hard earned wealth, power, positions, luxurious life etc and leave this world. Actually such people are searching the net for some solace, and they want a message that assures them that the world will not end on December 21, 2012...!

In fact there is no end to the world on any such announced dates. For it is clearly mentioned in the Holy Bible that everything we see will end one day, but not on a day or date or hour as expected by the people. The Lord says clearly, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32). 

Who can prophecise or foretell something which is not revealed even to the SON of Man...? If anyone announces, mentions or teaches of the day or hour of the end / the judgement day...., he is a big liar and do not believe him...!

How ever every Christian should understand the signs and hints taught by the Master and "Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come" (Mark 13:33) 

The Divine Judge may come at any time, Today, tomorrow or any day and hour of HIS choice.... Let's Be Ready to face HIM....!!!

Major Arch Bishop Baselios Mar Cleemis of Syro-Malankara Church is elevated as the first Cardinal

Cardinal Baselios Mar Cleemis

The Holy Father Benedict XVI has announced the elevation of the Major Arch Bishop of the Syro Malankara Catholic Church, Mar Baselios Mar Cleemis as a Cardinal of the Universal Catholic Church. The order of the Pontiff was read in the Thiruvananthapuram Cathedral today.

With his appointment as a Cardinal, Major Arch Bishop Moron Mor Baselios Cleemis is the first one from the Syro-Malankara Church to become a Cardinal of the Holy Catholic Church. He is the 89th Cardinal of the Catholic Church. The official anointment will take place in the Vatican on the 24th of November, 2012.

The Malankara Catholic Church which was re-unified with the Catholic Church in 1930 has more than half a million (five lakhs) strong devotees.

Moron Cleemis Catholicos, who was ordained as a Priest in 1986, is one among the six new Cardinals announced by the Holy father this afternoon. With this, the Universal Catholic Church of Lord Jesus Christ will have 211 Cardinals out of whom 89 have the right to vote and elect the Pope.

Let us all Pray for the new Cardinal and wish him all success to lead the Malankara Church as per the Will of the Divine Master in the present era of the evil....!

Marian Pilgrimage (Einsiedelelike) by Syro Malabar Churches in Switzerland on October 28, 2012

On the last Sunday of the Holy Rosary month of 2012 ie on the 28th October, 2012, all the Marian devotees from all the Syro Malabar pastoral centers are arriving in Einsiedelelike as a pilgrimage.

The Bishop of Thrissur Diocese Mar Andrews Thazhath will celebrate the Holy High Mass and deliver the Lord's message. All the Marian devotees are cordially invited by the Church community to participate the mega spiritual event.

event schedule:

1.30 pm Holy Rosary (Japamala)
2.00 pm Holy Eucharistic Mass ( Visuddha Querbana)

Ave Maria

Zion (Seon /Sion) Retreat Center / Church, Muriyad, Irinjalakkuda, Thrissur, kerala

What / Where is Zion Retreat Center...? By whom are it run...?

There are many inquiries and searches about a newly flourished 'Retreat center' near Irinjalakkuda. It is attracting a huge number of people (only/mostly Catholics) for retreats. Apparently many who underwent the retreats are said to have given up their bad habits. They have started reading the Holy Bible daily and saying Family prayers regularly.

It is a good and commendable thing. Others are naturally attracted towards this 'centre' voluntarily and there is a heavy rush of people undergoing retreats in different levels here. It is fine.

But the not so nice thing that are found in those who participated in the retreats is.......

They do not participate in the Sunday holy Eucharist which is a mandatory spiritual practice for the Catholics.

This information made me to search / inquire more about this center and gave me the information that this center is run by some lay missionaries who are talented in delivering Biblical Sermons and have walked out of the Catholic Church to form a cult / trust by name Emperor Emmanuel Church...!

Catholic Christians need to seek the discernment of the Holy Spirit to understand whether these trusts are Recognized by the Lord Jesus Christ or are just like the many cults against the Holy Catholic Church that mushroom and wither away soon.

We are not supposed to judge anyone as the Lord is the Only one to judge, but need to realize and believe...

Many Catholic believers are found attacking this organization, as it has come out of the Catholic Faith. While criticizing many Catholic Pastors and Priests for their spiritual ruin, they seem to be correct by most of the participants who agree with most of their claims.
  As the Lord Himself has said, "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters" (Matthew 12:30)

...but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.... (Matt 24:13)!!!

As our Beloved Lord has also said in the Holy Bible, 

Do not stop him," Lord Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us" (Mark 9:40) 

Lets feel happy if anyone is Spreading the Holy Gospel of the Lord, without criticizing or working against HIS Church or chosen people...!

Guardian Angels feast Day: October 2nd: How fortunate and privileged we are...!

We see usually VIPs (very important persons) having one or more personal guards to protect them from attackers. Now-a-days even wealthy people appoint security guards for their personal safety. Heads of countries are supplied with the best personnel available in that particular country for very high salaries and other perks.

There are several instances in the world history of theses trusted personal security guards betraying their Masters...! For example, former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was brutally assassinated by her own trusted security guard.

Many of us fail to remember the presence of the heavenly guards appointed by our Heavenly Father after creating us. God our compassionate Creator does want any of HIS unique creatures get astray. He wants each and every human being on this earth to be safe and sound and walk in the right path. Hence HE has ordered HIS faithful and most trusted mighty servants- Angels, to watch over and protect HIS beloved children.

Though unseen, there is an invisible agent of the Almighty God always beside each and every one of us. let us not forget to thank them and the the ONE Who has specially appointed that special guard to protect our body and soul...!

Thank You God ....!
