The Spirit of the lord is upon me because He has anointed me to bring good
news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to captives and
recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and proclaim
the year of the Lord’s favor. (Lk 4:18)
Dear friends in Christ. Greetings to you all. First of all I wish you all
God’s blessings upon you and your family. Dear friends we all of us have a
call; we all have a mission in life. Therefore, let us not dissipate our
lives indulging in evil. We are all light of the world. Let our lights shine
before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your
father in heaven. (Mt 5:14-16). Jesus Himself identified lighted lamps with
good works. Let us keep the lamps burning by doing good works. Let us all
put on the armor of light. (Rom 13:12).
Dear friends let us keep our enthusiasm burning ; keep preserving , let us
keep our race until we reach finishing line, fight our battle until we
overcome. We will overcome one day. But, pray to the lord Jesus Christ that
He may set the fire of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Dear friends we are all stewards. All that we have has been given to us by
God. We are not owner, but servants in charge of Gods gifts; we have to use
these gifts and that according to our Lords directions, and for His glory.
Dear friends let us share the little that we have with our brethren who do
not have their basic needs. May be a word of encouragement, a look of
compassion, a word of mercy, a deed of Good Samaritan. Dear friends we are
the light of the world, but ours is always a borrowed light. We shine
because of Christ; He is true light; out tiny flickering lights must point
towards Him. While we live on this earth let us show Christ love, mercy,
look, compassion, touch, word, light to our brothers and sisters who do not
experience His mercy, compassion and love.
We read in the Holy Bible about the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth. After
Angel Gabriel made the announcement of Jesus’ birth to Mary, She hastened to
the hill country of Judah to visit Elizabeth who was carrying John the
Baptist for the sixth month. Every day of our life we get a message from our
guardian angel to do good to others. My dear brothers and sisters let us
hasten ourselves towards others especially the poor children, widow, orphan,
handicapped, sick, rejected etc. we have started a charitable organization,
its aim is to help poor, needy, elderly, physically challenged, rejected,
sick etc. please do come forward to comfort the lesser privileged brothers
and sisters of yours in Christ.
Yours faithfully
