  • Diocesan Bulletin
    Diocesan Bulletin - January, 2015 Mar Jacob Angadiath with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Canonization of Saint Chavara Kuriakose & Saint Euphrasia The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in the history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament understanding of God. St. Thomas Syro-Malabar St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by Catholic Diocese of Chicago living and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro-Malabar Church in the United States of America.

For private circulation only 2 Krupa Nidhan Message of the Shepherd The feast of Qyomdo is celebrated yet again. However every Easter is a renewal of the assurance of our destiny which is not just to fade away here. It is the guarantee that our faith is not futile and that our proclamation is not in vain (1 Cor 15: 17). God out of his infinite love and mercy gave His only son to redeem this world. (John 3:16). The Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, suffered, died and was resurrected so that we may have life in abundance. (John 10:10). All this was realized only because the Mercy of God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, our Master. The Year of Mercy reiterates this reality. And the feast of resurrection, in this context, becomes for us an obligation to ‘be merciful like our heavenly Father’ (Luke 6:46). This obligation is to be lived in our daily lives through our small acts of love and kindness to our fellow beings especially those in need.

  • Pope Approves Canonizations, but Doesn’
    Pope approves canonizations, but doesn’t set date because of pandemic VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The sainthood causes of seven men and women — including the hermit Blessed Charles de Foucauld and the Indian martyr Devasahayam Pillai — cleared their final hurdle May 3 during an “ordinary public consistory,” a meeting of the pope, cardinals and promoters of sainthood causes that formally ends the sainthood process. The meeting included a prayer, an affirmation that Church law had been followed in preparing for the candidates’ declaration of sainthood and a formal request “in the name of Holy Mother Church” that Pope Francis set a date for the canonizations. Speaking in Latin, Pope Francis approved the canonizations but said the date for the ceremony would have to be determined later, Vatican News reported, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Blessed Charles de Foucauld is undoubtedly the best known of the seven saints-to-be. Pope Francis, in his encyclical “Fratelli Tutti, on Fraternity and Social Friendship,” described Blessed de Foucauld as a “person of deep faith who, drawing upon his intense experience of God, made a journey of transformation toward feeling a brother to all.” “Blessed Charles directed his ideal of total surrender to God toward an identification with the poor, abandoned in the depths of the African desert,” the pope wrote. “In that setting, he expressed his desire to feel himself a brother to every human being and asked a friend to ‘pray to God that I truly be the brother of all.’ He wanted to be, in the end, ‘the universal brother.’ Yet only by identifying with the least did he come at last to be the brother of all.

    FOUNDER’S NOTE Dear Friends, Persecution Relief commemorated Indian Christian Martyrdom Day (ICMD), on 22nd July 2017, which was observed to acknowledge, remember and stand with families who have lost their dear ones as Martyrs for Jesus Christ, in India. This event created great awareness across the Church’s, Bible Colleges, Mission Organisations and Christian institutions in India. We take this opportunity to thank all of you, from several 100’s of Church’s, for your overwhelming response, joining hands with us in commemorating this unique annual event. The time has come for us to join together again, to observe the 2nd Indian Christian Martyrdom Day (ICMD) on 22nd of July 2018, to pray for the families of Martyrs & the Persecuted Church in India. As this day falls on a Sunday, we request all Church’s, Bible Colleges & Christian Institutions to spare few minutes to Pray and educate the Church members about the event. To suffer death for the sake of Christ and His Gospel is a gift and an honour that glorifies Christ. The sacrifice of these families who have lost the dear ones, is great in the sight of the Lord; the remembrance of them will be pleasant, and the reward far above all their services and sufferings. In the present times, the Church in India has a greater role and responsibility to play, in standing alongside the Persecuted brethren. For families, the pain of losing a loved one – for a mother who has lost her son, for a wife who has lost her husband and for a child who has lost a parent – the Church must continue to support and express solidarity to them, the body of Christ, irrespective of the denominations we belong.

  • Towards a Historiography of Martyr Devasahayam Historiography of Martyr Devasahayam J
    J. Rosario Narchison Towards a Towards a Historiography of Martyr Devasahayam Historiography of Martyr Devasahayam J. ROSARIO NARCHISON, Indian School of Asian Theology, Whitefield. Devasahayam is a household name among the Catholics and other Christians in the southern districts of Kerala and Tamilnadu. (The name of the present bishop of Chennai is also Devasahayam). Parents continue to name their children as Devasahayam though the latter’s original name, Neelakandan, may not be known to them. The name Devasahayam was, probably for the first time, owned by a palace official and a Nair convert to Christianity who died for his Christian faith in 1752 in the erstwhile state of Thiruvithancoor, South India. Today, 250 years after his death, people still remember him with affection and admiration, as can be seen from the large concourse of pilgrims at the place of his martyrdom at Aralvaimozhi, at his grave in the cathedral at Kottar, Nagercoil and at Nattalam, the place of his birth. Our question is: is it possible to construct his biography with the aid of critically examined primary and secondary sources? How reliable is the historiography of martyr Devasahayam? The Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines historiography as “the narrative presentation of history based on the critical examination, evaluation and selection of material from primary and secondary sources and subjected to scholarly criteria.” Living Primary Sources Primary sources are two-fold: “living” and written. The strongest “living” testimony or source, in my opinion, is the fact that this ‘layman’ lies buried within the cathedral church and that too in front of the main altar, of the diocese of Kottar.

Koonammakkal Thoma Kathanar 3 ELEMENTS OF SYRO-MALABAR HISTORY Introduction Contacts between Mediterranean world, Mesopotamia, Persia and India began before fourth millennium BC. During the third and second millennium BC Indus valley and Sumer had very flourishing civilisations. Ancient tablets discovered from Ur the home town of the ancestors of Abraham indicates the existence of trade between Sumer and Indus valley. The Brahmi script of India and Sumerian are related. Gradually Dravidians from the Indus Valley were pushed to the south and north India underwent Arianization. The contacts between Phoenicia and South India go back to second millennium BC. Jews came into contact with south India in the tenth century BC following the commercial enterprises of Solomon. They were following the footsteps of Phoenicians from the Tsur and Sidon.

Gauthaman, Director, Vedic Science Research Center, Chennai. Venue APN Plaza, Chettikulam Junction Nagerkoil, Kanyakumari District About Bharatheeya Itihasa Sankalana Samiti The objective of Bharatheeya Itihasa Sankalana Samiti is to write Bharatheeya history from a national perspective. The British distorted Bharatheeya history; destroyed / perverted the tradition, heroes, culture, literature and language. Hence the samiti coordinates patriotic, bold and incorruptible scholars & historians to write history truthfully on the basis of facts and evidences. In order to systematically compile all available facts comprehensively, regional chapters have been established throughout the country. Bharatheeya Itihasa Sankalana Samiti is actively involved in bringing out the history of Bharath for the past 5000 years i.e. from 3102 BC, the beginning of kaliyuga onwards.
