Amorphous Fear

Liturgically, we are in the Season of Elijah-Sleeva- Moses. And it is appropriate for the season to dwell on the theme of Second Coming and Apocalypse. Amidst all anxieties about the unpredictable end of the world, ruminations on what is happening around us, in the world, and in India of today ruffle our mind to a great extent. The lines from W. B. Yeats’ poem The Second Coming (1919), written at the end of World War I, seem appropriate to the general mood: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

To add to the signs of apocalypse, there are reliable predictions from pundits of economy about an impending slump in the market which could be far-reaching. During the last recession which affected the world, somehow India escaped through the magic of some preemptive strategies adopted. What kind of strategy is being adopted now, apart from using the reserves of the reserve bank, is yet to be seen. Given the trend of how the legal system is being selectively used to suppress dissenting voices and minorities under a façade of populist propaganda, the long term hidden agenda which are going to be uncovered eventually, are not good omens either. Well-intentioned or innocent-in-appearance legislations, be it POCSO, or anti-conversion law, could be selectively applied and used as a double-edged sword, to silence or subdue the dissenting or minority voices, is becoming a practical experience. There is a rewriting happening in the political history of our country, which is very much calculated and deliberate. In an era where Mahatma Gandhi and his leadership in the struggle for independence is being shrugged off and his lynching is being glorified by some, what will emerge also will be formidable. What has been a uniting force for bringing together millions of Indians against colonialism was the ideal of unity in diversity and secularism which respected all religions, cultures and ideologies. The curse of the times is that the mantras of

4 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw unity among languages, religions, regions and cultures are being substituted with monolithic purposes and goals. In the arena of religion, faith and belief, what has been considered as sacrosanct is being questioned indiscriminately. The legitimate authority of religious leaders, which was taken for granted, is no more unquestionable to the extent of inviting chaos. The journalistic adventures of the new brood of ‘omniscient’ journalists, who vie for instant publicity and limelight, dare to burlesque religious practices, beliefs and traditions on TV-channels at prime time. Social media provides ample opportunity for the disgruntled and desperate to have their frustrations played out unabashedly. It is again what poet Yeats described in the poem mentioned above: “The best people lack all conviction, but the worst are full of passionate intensity.” The situation is similar to what poet and critic Matthew Arnold described in 19th century as Philistinism. Although no religion is an exception, due to various circumstances, Catholic Church was the worst affected in this concerted attack, brutal generalization and philistine onslaught. The strangeness of the times or was it some criminal conspiracy that has brought ‘religious life’ or consecrated life and its lifestyle in to a controversial media presence is yet to emerge. As such, religious life is a clear proof of human sublimation relying on divine providence, and a choice lifestyle which sustains due to the innumerable goodness it offers to the society. Under normal conditions,

September 2019; No. 243 5 I¿sΩektμiw it is a smoothening presence, rather than a threat to anyone in the society. Of course, when it challenges the authoritarian equations which promote unjust social practices, it could pose a threat; or internal corruption can also call for a reform. Or, as Shakespeare comments in Hamlet, “Diseases desperate grown by desperate appliance are relieved, or not at all,” we do not know whether it is out of desperate situation calling for some desperate relief. Having said that, religious life has no right to be desperate as it is a vocation and providence alone is its resource and power. Adversity forces it to go to the basics, and the foundation is where the strength lies for religious life to sustain. It is none other than the precious blood of Christ. It is the sign of the Kingdom of God and is one of the miracles Jesus works even in the modern world to carry on as a sacramental presence of the Incarnation of the Lord and to offer the soothening greetings from the Risen Lord, “Peace be with you!”

A Time to Respond, Renew and Re-found

1. A Time of Renewal: “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15) CMI family is on an acceptable time to open the doors and windows of the Congregation to feel the fresh wind of the Spirit to renew and re-found our community. Pope John XXIII convoked the Second Vatican Council with a vision, “Open the windows of the Church to let in some fresh air”. Aggiornamento (updating) and Ressourcement (return to the sources) were the two important words that made the difference in and after Vatican II. The Council’s call for renewal, Aggiornamento, was focused not on external and cosmetic

September 2019; No. 243 7 I¿sΩektμiw change, but primarily on a profound inner transformation as seen in its invitation to universal call to holiness (LG). Three possible dangers connected with aggiornomento pointed out by Rev. Fr. James Alberione, founder of the Society of St. Paul and Daughter of St. Paul deserve attention: They are: (1) to want to reform everyone except ourselves; (2) to want to reform what must not be reformed; (3) to refuse to reform what must be reformed. Continuous renewal has been the life style of the Church as presented in the dictum, Ecclesia semper reformanda, the Church constantly reforms herself. The renewal and updating shall have its basis in Ressourcement: the sources of Catholic Faith, the Scripture and the Church Fathers. To bear the lasting fruits of renewal in our religious community, we shall return to the roots, the original spirit, legacy and charism of the founding fathers.

2. A Time of Grace: As Vatican II has been a genuine preparation to place the Church in the modern world with a creative response to its challenges, our General Synaxis shall be a preparation for the Year 200, CMI @2031 in order to set a roadmap for the future with a long term vision and 6 year targets. Of course, we have begun it with the

8 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw right note of CMI Constitution Retreat. It has been welcomed, participated and appreciated by almost everyone in the congregation and it has made a new beginning for our discernment and renewal. CMI Survey 2018 has given us some indications on our present life, formation and apostolate and our future aspirations. General Plenary Assembly 2019 had its focus on the General Synaxis 2020. The Lineamenta in preparation for the General Synaxis will throw light on our orientations with an open and creative approach to the challenges.

3. An Inimitable Legacy: This year we are celebrating the birth centenary of late Bishop Mar Jonas Thaliath, an illustrious son of Carmelites of Mary Immaculate. His short sojourn on this planet made unparallel momentum in the metamorphosis of CMI congregation from a local entity in Malabar to a global missionary congregation. He had the audacity to dream big, think different and make them come true. Dharmaram has been his brainchild or God’s dream revealed through him and Dharmaram made possible our present global missionary outreach. Breakthrough leaders take courage for a break with, despite the criticisms and higher risk, and throw the net

September 2019; No. 243 9 I¿sΩektμiw on the right side for a miraculous catch. He questioned the status quo and had the prophetic courage to question the Synod of Diamper. He thought of world class major study house for CMIs sufficiently away from Malabar, so that the CMIs will be ever ahead of times and can rub shoulder with anyone anywhere for the Gospel of the Lord. He defined theology as faith seeking harmony of life and dreamt of a world class Catholic University on Dharmaram campus with the integration of the Sacred and Secular disciplines. He dreamt of a truly international congregation rising above regional and monastery parochialism. He wanted CMI to be the best and envisaged the best possible education with quality exposure for young CMIs and that is why he chose Bangalore as the right location for the study house. After St. Chavara and other founding fathers, it was Mar Jonas Thaliath CMI who re-founded and nurtured the congregation to stand out in the 21st century with its global outreach. Mar Jonas is no more a name of the past but a legacy to reinvent ourselves and to be visionaries ahead of time.

4. Grace upon Grace: Amidst blessings after blessings, the General Synaxis will be held in Chavara Jubilee Year

10 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

@150 of the death anniversary of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, our beloved founder. It is again a time to return to Bethrauma to experience the spirit and legacy of the darsanaveedu. All the more, the providential intervention of the Lord demands from our side a magnificat to thank the Lord for his accompaniment in our agonies and ecstasies and a fiat to rededicate ourselves with more passion and energy. The canonization of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara in 2014 has given the congregation a new awareness of his spirituality and legacy and the need to explore more on his life and the contributions to the Church. Again it is in loving providence of the Lord that a CMI, Mar Antony Kariyil, has been appointed as the Metropolitan Vicar of the Archdiocese of Ernakulam- Angamaly. History repeats. In 1861, owing to the crisis situation caused by Roccos, St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara was appointed as the Vicar General by Msgr. Bernardine Baccinelli of St. Teresa OCD, Vicar Apostolic of Verapoly and entrusted him with the full responsibility of the Syrian Christian of Kerala. Even the first bishop of Ernakulam was Mar Louis Pazheparambil, one of the seven sorrows of the congregation, who was expelled for writing to Rome

September 2019; No. 243 11 I¿sΩektμiw for local bishops. Yes, we are wanted and the Church counts on us. It is again a blessed time that we are again back in Iraq after 50 years to serve the Chaldean Catholic Church under the Patriarch, His Beatitude Louis Raphael I Sako. It is a matter of pride to know that, based on CMI Survey 2018, the things that our members like most in our congregation are community life, fraternity and brotherly concern, unity and team spirit, contributions in education, pastoral activity, prayer life, freedom with responsibility, love and concern for the sick brethren.

5. To Renew and Build up the Church: CMI congregation, the spiritual movement initiated by our founding fathers found its meaning in the building up and renewal of the Church (CMI Constitutions 1). Religious life involves a gift given for the Church and in the Church. (PC) The document, Perefctae Caritatis, highlighted “the great value of a life, consecrated by the profession of the counsels,” and hoped that “it may yield greater good to the Church.” The consecrated life of the relegious must not be dedicated to their own personal good alone, but to the good of the whole Church. The founders of the congregation always walked with the Church It is clear

12 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw from the articulations, sentire cum Ecclesia (Feel with the Church/Think with the Church) of St. Ignatius Loyola, and the joyful profession of faith made by St. Teresa of Avila: “I am a daughter of the Church”. According to Fr. Leopold Beccaro, one outstanding quality of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, our beloved founder, was his ardent faith in and the devotion to the Holy Catholic Church and the Holy Father. All what St. Chavara did was meant to meet one or another real, urgent need of the Church and the society. We are so much wanted in the Universal Church and the invitations from bishops in Africa and Latin America and other First World countries are the right indications. Today, as we take forward the charism of our beloved founder, we shall ask ourselves, “What role CMI as a religious congregation shall play in the Universal Church today?”

6. Synaxis – An Ecclesial Event: Even the General/ Provincial chapter of a religious congregation, therefore, is not a private affair which concerns only the members of the congregation. It is an ecclesial event which is of interest to the Christian community as a whole. The community shall take interest in it and be concerned about its orientations. For a religious congregation, the synaxis is

September 2019; No. 243 13 I¿sΩektμiw the graceful occasion to become newly aware of its links with the Church in whose mission it plays a part, and with the world to which it has been sent by Christ. “Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops, and your religious act like religious” Venerable Archbishop Fulton J Sheen stated this in June 1972 while addressing the Convention of the Knights of Columbus. We might ask, what has the laity to do with the religious? The charism of a religious congregation by its very nature belongs to the Church, the whole people of God, and not just to the members of the congregation. Though it may be proper to it, it is not, however, its exclusive property. The members, of course, are its guardians; they are not its owners. The entire people of God have therefore a right and a duty to watch over this part of its patrimony, especially through the approval of the constitutions by the Church. Pope Francis the Vatican Council, does not look at lay people as if they were ‘second class’ members, at the service of the hierarchy and only executors of orders from on high,. But as disciples

14 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw of Christ who, by force of their baptism and their nature inserted ‘in the world,’ are called to animate every space, every activity, every human relation according to the spirit of the Gospel. In the initial phase of our congregation, lay people were our partners and collaborators in our foundation and mission. Are we open enough to respect and learn from the laity and lay movements to read the signs of the time and to capitalize on their strengths for the mission of the Lord like our founding fathers?

7. Time to listen, discern and re-found: The General Synaxis is an important time for discerning collegially the will of God for the religious congregation. At the time of the General Chapter, we place ourselves in a situation of listening to what the Spirit is saying to the CMI family today as well as through the experience of the members, the signs of the times and the contemporary social and cultural context. The same Spirit who spoke to the founding fathers continues to speak to the heart of each of the present members of the congregation and to challenge them in their concrete and varied situations. Each religious congregation lives the Gospel according to a determined charism. “Every charism, to live and to

September 2019; No. 243 15 I¿sΩektμiw be fruitful, is required to decentralise, because at the centre there is only Jesus Christ. The charism is not to be conserved like a bottle of distilled water, but must instead be made to bear fruit, with courage, placed at the service of current reality, of cultures, of history, as the great missionaries of our institutes teach us” (Pope Francis).The charism of the founding fathers is the foundation on which the whole congregation rests, and every effort at renewal can only be a return to this foundation, and thus a re- foundation. The General Chapter is the privileged instrument for carrying out the renewal and it assumes its charism anew, re-reads it in the ecclesial and cultural context of today, and makes the necessary decisions for its renewed insertion in the contemporary and ecclesial situation. As per the Canon Law, the foremost duty of the General Synaxis is to protect the patrimony of the congregation and promote suitable renewal in accord with this patrimony...”. (C 631) The General Chapter shall be a new Pentecost so that the Spirit will enable us to speak in differ tongues but to understand the language of love for a breakthrough mission to realize God’s will through our congregation.

8. Cafeteria Religious Life: There is a tempting tendency of the cafeteria and the mall market among the individual religious to pick and choose what they like from the Constitutions and teachings on Religious life than taking in its fullness. Ananias – Sapphira syndrome of restricting oneself from total giving has spoilt the vitality and passion of our life. Interpretations and weightage are given as per each one’s whims and fancies. Even without our notice, the virus of worldly spirit has damaged our life systems and processes. Old habits die hard. As per the CMI Survey 2018, things that our members dislike most in the congregation are our tendencies for Politicking, groupism, money power, institutionalism, destructive criticism, prayer life, lack of concern for the poor, individualism and authoritarianism. Unprecedented attachment to and irrelevant intervention in to one’s own family matters has taken away our priority and at times some seem to operate like being ordained for ones’ own family affairs and for them distance and time does not matter. Marthaism for different reasons has led us into the vanity of action without a vision and prayer. A culture of silence, learning

September 2019; No. 243 17 I¿sΩektμiw and meditation is on decline and an authentic aggiornamento (updating) is the need of the hour.

9. Building CMI beyond borders: Let us listen to “the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.’” (Mark 1:3) The forthcoming General Chapter is the blessed time of true aggiornamento, to think beyond our limitations and boundaries in order to redefine CMI identity to bridge peace and harmony to celebrate humanity. The adaptation and renewal of the religious life includes both the constant return to the sources of all Christian life and to the original spirit of the institutes and their adaptation to the changed conditions of our time (PC 2). This discernment for renewal, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of the Church, must be based on: (1) fidelity to humanity and to our times, (2) fidelity to Christ and the Gospel, (3) fidelity to the Church and to its mission in the world, and (4)fidelity to religious life and to the charism of one’s own institute (Religious and Human Promotion, 1978, No. 13). Some of the priorities identified by our members for the congregation based on the Survey are: global mission, care and concern for the

18 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw poor, pastoral life, prayer life, social work, educational promotion, mission work and financial transparency. Pope Francis states, “It is foolish to close spaces, to separate peoples. It is foolish both for the good of the people, and for the good of the world. Our world, our common home, “demands love, care, respect… just as humanity demands peace and brotherhood”. In a divisive world, we need to be ambassadors of “Peace with no borders”, and reach out our compassionate love to all on the peripheries with effective accompaniment of children, youth and families and with a strong resolve to serve and conserve our “common home”. Only enlightened and empowered CMIs can do it and this demands a community with deeper God experience and wisdom. CMI family shall strive to be what God willed it to be and to renew itself in an unbroken rhythm of absolute fidelity to the task assigned to it by the Lord ever as a spiritual movement to be the light of the world and leaven of the earth.

CMI IRAQ MISSION 2019

Fr. Saju Chackalackal CMI

The second lap of CMI Mission in Iraq (first lap: 1960-1965) began on 22 August 2019, on the feast of the Queenship of Our Blessed Mother. Fr. Paul Thaimoottil CMI (Nirmal Province, Jagdalpur) and Fr. George (Bibin) Paruthippillikkunnel CMI (Mary Matha Province, Hyderabad) are part of this new CMI global mission. Fr. Josey Thamarassery CMI, Provincial of Jagdalpur, accompanied them to Bagdad. Our Fathers have joined Iraq Mission in the Patriarchal Archdiocese of Bagdad as we were invited by the Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, His Beatitude Patriarch Louis Sako. Chaldean Patriarchate consists of Patriarch Cardinal Raphael Louis Sako, two Auxiliary Bishops (Bishop Baselios and Bishop Robert, the latter being newly appointed), Secretary Dr. Ekhlass, and two Chaldean sisters who take care of the Patriarchate. His Beatitude Patriarch Louis Sako expressed his gratitude and happiness for the support extended to the Chaldean Catholic Church, which is in need of our support by sharing our personnel for pastoral care of the Chaldean faithful. According to the Patriarch, the situation in Iraq has very much improved and he hopes to rebuild the Church in Iraq which was ruined after 2005. He assured

September 2019; No. 243 45 I¿sΩektμiw our missionaries that the people really love the priests and there is no need for any worry about their security. Our Fathers will be at the Patriarchate for a few weeks and, then, they will be assigned to two different big parishes to learn the languages and to be initiated into the local communities. Study of Arabic is important as the language of communication; Aramaic also is needed for liturgical celebrations (Holy Qurbana and prayers are usually celebrated in Arabic and Aramaic). After the language study the Patriarch is ready to entrust us with a parish; he has also suggested that we can think of opening a CMI community in future and also even think of inducting local vocations from Iraq. Patriarch Louis Sako suggested that he looks for one more CMI, who could serve as spiritual director in the seminary, which is now located in Erbil, though it will soon be shifted to Bagdad. Regarding the earlier proposal from the Patriarch about some of our Fathers with expertise in theological subjects extending support in the seminary (by way of short-term teaching assignments), further discussions are to be held with other bishops in Iraq and a decision will be arrived at soon. The Patriarchate has also promised to bear all the financial expenses (Fr. Josey, Provincial of Jagdalpur, reports that the Patriarch even insisted that he would pay for the tickets of the CMIs, which was graciously refused from our side). As per the policy of the Archdiocese of Bagdad, our priests will receive a monthly allowance of

46 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

$800; both of them will be provided with cars from the Patriarchate for their use. They will have their home holidays and their travel expenses will be met from the Patriarchate. Fr. Josey Thamarassery, Provincial of Jagdalpur, who accompanied our new missionaries to Iraq, feels that our Fathers are in safer hands; our Fathers also have expressed their willingness to learn the language and to get acclimatized to the new pastoral situation in order to contribute to the Church constructively. Fr. Paul Thaimoottil will be the Superior and contact person from the side of our Congregation. The Church in Iraq was destroyed in 2005 onwards by the fanatics. For example, in 2005, in a locality where the Seminary of Bagdad was also situated Christians formed 80% of the population; in 2019, however, it is a deserted place and hardly has 1% Christian population. In Iraq, the Catholic Church consists of four rites: Chaldean Catholics, Syrian Catholics (Malankara), Armenian Catholics, and Latin Church. Arabic is the spoken language and for liturgical celebrations Chaldean Church uses also Aramaic. Vocations to priesthood and consecrated life are dwindling. For example, Chaldean Sisters who are spread all through Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and America have only 98 sisters. There are also other congregations like Presentation Sisters and Dominican Sisters and their dedicated service in the field of healthcare and education is widely appreciated. Many schools, which

September 2019; No. 243 47 I¿sΩektμiw the sisters and the diocese were managing, were taken up by the government earlier, though today they are giving them back to the sisters for effective management of the services. A high school (6-12 classes) run by Dominican Sisters with a strength of 600 students is ranked the fourth in Iraq. During a visit to a Syrian Catholic Church, our Fathers were told that 57 Catholics and two priests were murdered in this Church on 10 October 2010 by some terrorists who shot them dead during the celebration of the Holy Mass. As Fr. Josey Thamarassery opined, in Iraq, we are called to serve a Church which suffered severely for her faith and is now longing to bloom in the present situation. It is an eye-opener for us in India. As we live in affluence (material and ecclesial), we forget or neglect our basic call to witness to the Gospel and to live its message radically. We need to redeem our call to proclaim the Gospel, not only in our homeland but also to the ends of the earth. As Fr. Paul and Fr. George, two CMI missionaries, have begun their mission in Iraq by offering pastoral care in the Archdiocese of Bagdad, we are graciously returning the care and animation offered to the Syro-Malabar Church by the Chaldean Catholic Church, which is now in need of our pastoral support. May our Blessed Mother, Saint Thomas the Apostle, and Saint Chavara intercede for our missionaries and our mission in Iraq!

Multi-faced compact scheme for the benefit of all Fr. T Jaiswam This is to highlight the feasible ways and means for all those who are of goodwill, to become healthy and wealthy by prompt profitable and, productive conservation cum recycling of all local and naturally available resources which are almost neglected and treated as waste and headache for all. Let me emphatically assert that the system I am presenting is totally empirical and proven, it is not on conceptual level. To ubstantiate the theme let me introduce an innovative scheme which I envisaged and launched with the financial support of NABARD. Its title is “Draught resistant organic multi cropping”. It had come to its fruition and its completion report was forwarded to NABARD office. Later this scheme was selected for national award and its application forms were forwarded to my office. But due to my rather prolonged absence from my office I could not fill them up and do the timely follow up. Later NABARD District development manager asked me to approach the Zilla Panchayat for promoting this unique scheme. Hence I approached the then CEO, an IAS officer Mr. Prasanna. He was kind enough to study the scheme. But he told me that we are only executive officers so we are not empowered to launch innovative schemes and asked me to forward it to planning commission New Delhi and all official formalities were explained to me. I followed his guidance and forwarded the scheme to Planning commission New Delhi. But there was no

September 2019; No. 243 49 I¿sΩektμiw response from the Commission; still no one could find any defect or demerit to this approach. Hence let me dwell on this scheme. “Draught resistant organic multi cropping” has got unlimited scope for replication as an answer to the multi faced and multi dimensional problems depicted below. As a headache for all, vast area is getting barren and arid due to most unhealthy practice in India, and other countries are not an exception to this alarming situation. As a traditional and conventional type solution for this perennial problem, forestry and plantation drive are promoted. But this piecemeal approach is not the adequate answer to the literally burning situation. A multi faced compact and replicable approach will be perennial and genuine solution to the multi dimensional problem. The following reports are a convincing proof for the inadequacy of this piecemeal approach. As per the 1st June, 2019 report of Navabharath Hindi daily, UN said, 20 lacks are likely to die due to drought in Somalia. The big words of our President Ram Nath Kovind, “save forest to protect environment” is not again a piecemeal solution. Fifty percent Districts in India are having polluted water due to nitrate, fluoride, iron and arsenic presence in the ground water (Navabharath Hindi daily 1st August 2018) 10 large cities to go dry by 2030: NITI Aayog (The Hitavada 28, July 2018) Deficit rain in 1/4th of country: IMD data (Hitavada 23, July 2018) it is all in the

50 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw national level. The problem is almost same all over the world. Inadequacy of the approach is evident from the following data depicted below; mainly forest based problems of various countries of just in one month in 2018. For example: “French soldiers arrive in Sweden to fight wild fire” (24 July, 2018) Wildfire toll rises to 81 in Athens (July 27, 2018) Death toll climbs to 88 in Greek wild fire (July 29, 2018) Erratic winds, dry conditions fuel California fires (July 31, 2018) California fires devastate over 100,000 hectares (August 2, 2018) More than 1,000 homes torched in California wild fires (August, 3, 2018) NABARD financed innovative scheme “Drought Resistant Organic Multi Cropping” Selected for National award Let me claim with all humility that the scheme captioned above and successfully launched is the most adequate answer to the above depicted multi faced problems. Above all it can very well achieve aims and objectives given below. Aims and objectives This is a multi faced compact scheme for two years aiming to 1. Alleviate poverty, 2. Curb malnutrition,

September 2019; No. 243 51 I¿sΩektμiw

3. Generate employment in the rural set up, 4. Total control of migration 5. Promote forestry and wild life, 6. A very healthy solution for devastating wild fire 7. Most healthy solution for slums 8. Productive conservation of rural economy, 9. Above all it is the best system for water conservation and solution for depleting of ground water as well. 10. An adequate answer for air pollution . Ways and means It is so simple that no amount of formal training is required. Even the totally illiterate can easily follow as it is explained and guided at no cost the simple technology implied in this scheme is as follows :- 1. To prove its success select totally barren and arid land where not even grass is grown. 2. Make two feet wide, minimum eighteen inches depth contour trenches at a distance of two feet. And the excavated earth has to be used as bunds on one side of the contour trenches. Let the trenches be at a distance of two feet. This two feet space will be part of next year’s scheme. 3. The trenches should be thoroughly filled with biomass like weeds, grass or whatever is prone to get burned. It could be collected from forest or wherever it is available. If possible apply some cow dung water over the biomass filled trenches. And cover the biomass filled trenches with just enough soil, but the contour bunds should not be deformed. 4. The first rain water itself will be totally absorbed by the project sight which is fully prepared to retain rain water.

52 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

It is now rather prepared for farming. Since within a short period the biomass is not decomposed the first crop may not be satisfactory, it is only just half of the project. The next half has to be completed as follows. 5. The following year two feet space left in between two trenches should be dug and fill them with biomass and maintain the bunds as far as possible . 6. Since the biomass of the first trench is almost totally decomposed the project land is enriched for multi crops, even though there is draught occasional rain water is enough to have moisture period prolonged enough for bumper crops. As far as possible the following year also the same system could be followed and the land would be highly yielding even if there is draught. As the launching of the scheme was going on, the beneficiaries made a remark that the lower part of the land also will be getting enough water for farming. It is an innovative and proven scheme and it has got unlimited scope for replication anywhere in the world. All its specified aims and objectives, even more than that could be very well achieved. Further complimenting aims and objectives If anybody raises any objections or questions the viability of the scheme I have full confidence to defend it and specify the success of the approach which has got two feasible phases. The first phase is as follows. The area including forest where from the biomass, humus and all the stuff which is prone to get burned should be collected and used for this scheme for much more than double benefits .

September 2019; No. 243 53 I¿sΩektμiw

(1) The area which is to be brought under this scheme will be highly yielding (2) The forest or the land which is biomass free will be saved from devastating wild fire. It will boost forest and forest life as well. (3) Any number of people could be employed during the first phase of this multi faced compact scheme. (4) Until almost the unlimited area which is to be brought under this scheme there is unlimited employment opportunity not only during the first phase of the scheme , but the second phase, as the crops come up, it generates still more opportunity for employment. Without the second, the multi phased scheme, it is incomplete. Hence the second phase is as important as the first. Rural economy is totally based on these two sectors which are very clearly depicted above. The second phase is the follow up or integral part of the first phase. It should be defined as productive conservation or prompt recycling of rural farm products. Otherwise there is erosion of rural economy. It could be made clear with simple examples based on current practices. Maize, rice bran, broken rise etc are major ingredients for preparing live stock feed. But all these items are going out and finished products like eggs, chicken, milk etc are coming back to those farmers who are responsible for supplying the raw materials for live stock, are buying the finished products, and the farmers are not even getting the litter for their farming. Even if raw materials are not locally produced live stock program has to come up in our rural set up.

54 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

Hence the farmers who are responsible for supplying raw materials should be equipped to have life stock in their own surroundings, as far as possible or in their own villages so that they can supply the finished products instead of raw materials and promptly build up healthy and productive conservation of rural economy. All the aims and objectives of the scheme envisaged above will be promptly achieved provided, they follow this scheme. Instead of following this highly beneficial scheme why a good number of farmers are wasting their time and energy in cultivating the barren and arid land and live half starving? Let Somalia and other starving countries follow this highly promising profitable scheme. Let the leaders of the nations stop making big sermons and come down and study the benefits of this multi faced, compact feasible scheme which is almost totally based on locally and naturally available resources which are treated as a curse. Let me assure all those who are with genuine interest for adequately following the scheme which has got unlimited scope for replication. Why the enormous blessings of the nature which is treated as a curse? The value of this wealth of the inexhaustible but so called waste by which we are surrounded almost everywhere. As I prepare this theme I am doing it with pain and prick of conscience due to what is seen around me. Who will come forward to convince all the concerned and the responsible parties to come down from piecemeal approach and launch the most feasible “The Multi faced compact scheme” for the benefit of all?

Introductory Talk

MISSION COUNCIL October 30, 1979

Rev. Fr. Thomas Anicetus Aykara, C.M.I.

As we celebrate CMI Mission Year, it is appropriate to revisit the talk given by Rev. Fr. Thomas Aykara, the Prior General in 1979 at Sagar For the first ever Mission Council Meeting on October 30th, 1979

Your Excellencies, Rev. Fathers and dear Brothers, I deem it a great privilege to have this opportunity to speak to you a few words at the very outset of this Mission Council. Fr. Canisius, through his meticulously prepared communications, has already conveyed to all of us the mandate of this Council quoting from our Constitution and Statutes. I feel it unnecessary to remind you once again how we should work for the self-sufficiency of our Missions, how this Council will advise the Prior

56 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

General and his Council on the policy to be followed regarding our Missions. We are all very happy that we have this meeting convened here in Sagar. Last year Bp. Clemens could not attend as he was not keeping well. Hence this time we made it a point not to miss him and we chose Sagar. Let me from the very beginning express my sincere gratitude to the Spirit that brought us all together here, our Bishops, our General Council members, Provincial, Secretaries, Rector, President, Experts and students representative. Christian Mission, as we all kno, is the spreading of the Spirit of Christ. The same Spirit is amidst us. Let us all be open to the same Spirit during these days. Let the Spirit of openness, unit, loyalty to the Church and dedication to Christ be our thoughts these days. A sincere listening to the Spirit, deep experience of his Communion and a total dedication to our cause, which is Christ, should animate all our actions and planning for which we are assembled here. The Spirit works always in and through us; it is not a Spirit that is distant but intensely involved He works through our Secretaries. I am really glad to state that all our mission Secretaries are doing a great service to our Congregation and to the Missionary thrust for which our

September 2019; No. 243 57 I¿sΩektμiw last General Chapter made an enthusiastic appeal Let the Lord of harvest reward them all abundantly is my earnest prayer. The immense gift of God made our Congregation a fitting vehicle of His objective to show that an Indigenous Church can and should take care of her own mission responsibilit, that the salvation of India is in indegenous hands. Thanks to the dedicated and selfless work of our fathers under the able leadership of our Bishops, our missionary activities in the North, South and within Kerala have clearly shown how effectively the Apostolic Church in Kerala can cut across the boundaries and reach millions in living Christ. Being faithful to the original tradition of our Congregation, let us all be united with the cause of our Mother Church and united as our fore fathers used to be with the local hierarchy, we too shall work for His Kingdom united in heart and soul with the leadership of the Church and Her Bishops, Shepherds of the flock. Mission is essentially listening, living and giving the Word of God. It is preaching in an integral sense. It is presenting Christ, it is making available the presence of Christ. It is making an atmosphere where Christic presence is predominant. In other words, Mission is essentially your personal experience of Christ made avilable to others.

58 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

Following the vision of our C.M.I. Handbook we can say “that an apostolate of authentic life of integration (Yoga Sakshya) naturally invites others to join us”. Our Christ- experience becomes co-extensive. This is the true mission work that is verily valid in India and thoroughly in keeping with the saints and sages of the Land where anubhava (Experience) is the primary and ultimate criterion of truth and life. Let us therefore, first of all make our C.M.I. Missionary activities primarily Christ- experience-centred. In order to make all our missionary activities Christ-experience centred, let us concentrate in our missionary planning more on the spiritual dimension of our work. Let us, both local Ordinaries and Religious Superiors, make it a point that we give ample facilities in all our Mission Stations to create and maintain a spiritual atmosphere. Our centres must be abodes of men of God and sources of Christ-experience. It is high time, I feel, that our annual Mission Council should Seriously think about this fundamental aspect of our mission work. Taking into account the last developing nature of our Cornergation, the immense challenges we face, the top priority to give to the Mission work and the cultural and theological trends that are prevalent in our time and amidst many of us, we need attach a tremendous

September 2019; No. 243 59 I¿sΩektμiw importance to the question of missionary formation from our aspirantage to the Study House and even during our ongoing formation. Imitating Christ, the Missionary, we must make our life a self-gift of ourselves. It is not simply giving what we have, but more fundamentally giving what we are. Only a life of simplicity and humility can have the witnessing power that we often say that our Church and Religious Institutes have miserably missed. Immersed though we may be in developmental activities, rooted we all must be in the transcendence of these transient things. Our imminence of involvement has to be complemented by our detached dedication to the Chuch and Christ. All of us, Bishops, Priests, Sisters and lay-people, all have only one cause to work for: namely Christ and His Church. It is this all-embracing cause and common resolve that unites us all. We all from one community of which each one nas to play his complimentary role. Community means unity in objective, unity in planning, unity in action, unity in heart, unity in soul, unity in doing and unity in being. All of us are working for a self-reliant Church, an autonomous Church in the long run. In this concerted effort of ours it is good to take into account the concrete situation in which our Missionary dioceses come into

60 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw existence. These Missionary exarchates were entrusted to the Congregation, the evangelization work which has to be done under the leadership of the Bishops. When these missions were entrusted to us we were asked by the Holy See to present the best available Shepherds we have in our Congregation. It is under their leadership that we all have to work as one community. All of us are made available to the cause of the Church; it is a task entrusted to all of us. At the Same time the fact that it is originally entrusted to the Congregation should not curtail the freedom end initiatives of the local ordinary in making the Church slowly self-reliant. The Ordinaries and the Superiors, taking into account both sides of the situation and giving more importance to the development of self- reliant Church should work unitedly as one community whose leader is the local ordinary who in turn will make the Superiors and Priests, intensely involved in the planning and working of the diocese. A sense of mutual concern and solidarity would give shape to a more harmonious community and effective evangelization. Praying together, planning together and spending themselves entirely together would make them all feel better how we nre deeply united in our common cause. Assertion of one or the other right should give way to the arrival of Christ. In all what we plan and do it is the good

September 2019; No. 243 61 I¿sΩektμiw of the Church that must be the guiding principle. Let us all have the same concerns, same cause, same objective.

Let the togetherness in Spirit be our faith, strength and Hope.

Historical and Thematical Evolution of the CMI Constitutions

Fr. Thomas Mampra CMI

1. Introduction Constitutions of religious communities are the dynamic expressions of the collective will of their members, reflecting their charisms, the purpose for which they live and continue to work for the society. As the wider society evolves, charisms and hence constitutions also evolve.

The beginning and evolution of our CMI Congregation may be compared to the beginning and development of a mighty river like the Periyar in Kerala or the Ganges in the North. Ganges, for example starts as a mountain spring at Gangothri in Uttarkhand, and as it flows down another powerful spring joins it giving it new strength and vigor. A little below on its way yet another rivulet joins it and gradually it turns out into a mighty river uniting with other streams

122 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw on its way irrigating vast areas of parched lands, making them fertile and becoming beneficial to millions of people on both sides. An integral study of the river system will have to take into account different stages of its development dividing its journey into various sectors and stretches. The CMI congregation and its constitutions have almost two hundred years of a long history behind it and its long history can be better understood if we divide it into a few distinct phases of evolution.

The evolution of our constitution may be broadly divided into three main phases: Phase 1. 1831- 1855; Phase II. 1855-1958; Phase III. 1958- 1984.

2. Phase I: 1831-1855: No written constitution at first, Baccinelli’s Constitution in 1855. In the early years of the nineteenth century the boat of the Malabar Church was tied down to a jetty at Varapuzha. Much water flowed down the stream, but the boat remained there tossed and turned occasionally by sudden disturbances. Though European, mainly Italian Carmelite Bishops were at the helm, neither they nor the native Syrian clergy did much to untie and row the boat to its destination. But one of the Syrian priests, Fr. Thomas Palackal of Pallipuram,

September 2019; No. 243 123 I¿sΩektμiw secretary and consulter to successive Vicars Apostolic of Varapuzha, was peeved to note that there was no canonized saint in the ancient Malabar Church although there were many saints in younger Churches. He realized that the main reason for such a situation was the absence of a vibrant Christian life in the Church due to the lack of knowledgeable priests. The remedy would be the formation of a group of knowledgeable, disciplined and holy priests who would inspire the people to enlightened Christian life by leading exemplary life and preaching homilies and retreats. In the Malpanate or Seminary he was asked to start in about 1817, he led the seminarians by an exemplary life and by providing books on the Bible and other theological subjects, though such books were practically absent in Malayalam at that time. He got such books translated from Tamil into Malayalam and used other books available in Tamil. On the other hand he started pious associations for the laity at Pallipuram and Champakulam for enthusiastically practicing Christian life by the faithful.

A younger and zealous priest Fr. Thomas Porukara of Champakulam parish also was

124 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw struck by a similar thought namely the absence of saints in the ancient Malabar Church. As a seminarian, he was trained at the Varapuzha seminary run by the European Carmelites. Having learned of the troubled past and the difficult future of the Malabar Church he was of the opinion that a life of prayer, penance and solitude may be a better option to follow. He shared that opinion with his friend and neighbor Jacob Kanianthra. However as a young priest and vicar of parishes he led a very vibrant pastoral life which helped people there to real conversion and genuine Christian love.

Having been appointed secretary to the new Vicar Apostolic Mgr. Maurelius Stabilini in 1828 as suggested by Malpan Palackal, who was a consulter of Stabilini, both fathers got several opportunities to discuss their common concern: How to awaken Christian life in the ancient Malabar Church. They finally came to the joint conclusion that a community of priests living together, dedicated to prayer and penance in a slightly remote place on the one hand, and going out preaching homilies on Sundays and conducting retreats in the parishes around was the answer (CWCI:2000:1-3). Both the documents

September 2019; No. 243 125 I¿sΩektμiw which speak of the two pioneers requesting for a tapasu bhavanam (house of prayer, penance and community living), (Kanianthra and Persico) mention that Stabilini was hesitant in the beginning and after repeated requests, though not fully happy, he gave the sought permission, a recommendation letter and Rs. 200 as his donation. Stabilini is reported to have said that, “it was difficult to start, much more difficult to continue and impossible to maintain (Persico)” or “if both of you, who are intelligent and prudent, are going to lead a life of silence and solitude, who will then teach the people? If you want you can start a monastery. It will be useful for you and also for others.” (Kanianthara). That happened on November 01, 1829. Deacon Kuriakose Chavara, a close follower of Malpan Palackal and the Malpan’s spiritual heir also decided to join the pioneers and intended his First Holy Mass at ordination for the success of the project of the pioneers. With great difficulty they searched for a suitable place for the house of prayer, penance and community living and finally settled for a small hill accessible by land and water at Mannanam in Kottayam and laid the foundation stone for the house and chapel in the name of St. Joseph on May 11, 1831.

126 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw

Of late a letter given by Stabilini from Kudamalur Church has been discovered where he gave some rules to be observed by the future community. (J. T. Medayil, Karmalakusumam, August 2016:16-17). Till about 1938 there were only three inmates at Mannanam. Frs. Porukara, Chavara and Bro. Kanianthra. Malpan Palackal stayed at Pallipuram though he visited Mannanam from time to time. In 1838 Fr. Geevarghese Thoppil joined the group and as Chavara noted community life started from June 18, 1840, the feast of the Blessed Sacrament. In 1842 Rev. Kunjacko Kathanar of Kanjirappally joined the community but he died in 1853 (Bernard, 1908:24, 42). The unwritten way of life of intense prayer and vibrant pastoral services followed by the community is described by Fr. Kuriakose Porukara in ‘Saintly Founders’(Eng, 2017:48, 51), (Mundadan, 2008:90-91,Bernard 1908:17,37). Mean time Malpan Thomas Palackal and Malpan Thomas Porukara expired on January 16, 1841 and January 8, 1846 respectively, and the leadership of the community fell on Malpan Kuriakose Chavara. Though the two pioneers did not live to see the community recognized by the Church

September 2019; No. 243 127 I¿sΩektμiw authorities, they had the satisfaction to see it steadily moving in that direction. Though Malpan Porukara requested Mgr. Francis Xavier for recognition he did not receive it. Mgr. Ludovic Martini, his successor promised to give it, but he returned to Rome and we did not receive recognition. From about 1846 some secular priests began to join the community at Mannanam (Bernard, 1908:36). When Mgr. Bernardine Baccinelli became the co- adjutor Bishop of Varapuzha, Chavara requested him for Church recognition and a set of rules for the community. Though at first he denied, he requested the permission of the higher superiors of the Carmelite Order in Rome, in the same year, for the approval of the indigenous religious community as the Tertiaries of the Carmelite Order. Accordingly the General Definitory of the Order in Rome discussed the matter in May 1853 and took a favorable decision. “The Definitory General approved the establishment of such monasteries in India to which can be admitted those from the secular indigenous clergy who desire the habit of the Order under the title of the Tertiaries, provided they in everything perfectly observe the rules of our Tertiaries, and in everything are subject to the jurisdiction of

128 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw the Apostolic Vicar just as the missionaries, and also the Vicar Provincial and the Preposit General.” However no steps in that direction were taken till 1860 (Maniakkunnel: 2005:154- 155). In the meantime Baccinelli asked Chavara for the rules followed by the community. On December 01, 1855 he gave the community the Primitive Regula of the Carmelite Order and the first part of their constitutions with some changes (Fr. Baccinelli’s letter to Propaganda Fide, Rome, Maniakkunnel, 2005:190; Positio 1977:110 ff.). Those who accepted them were permitted to become members of the first indigenous Religious Community in India promising the three simple vows on December 8, 1855 with the name ‘Servants of Mary Immaculate of Mount Carmel’ (Bernard, 1908:45, Positio 1977: 116). They were twelve members of whom Chavara was made the Prior of the community. Thus after 24 years, Mannanam community became a religious community ecclesiastically recognized with a constitution and that is our first constitution. However no copy of that constitution given by Baccinelli in 1855 is now available.

3. Phase II: 1855-1958: Progressive conformity with OCD This rather long phase may be divided into two: 1. 1855-1885- Progressive conformity with the Discalced Carmelite Order 2. 1885-1958- Gradual regaining of autonomy 3.1. 1855-1885 Between 1855 and 1885 we received three different constitutions.

3.1.1. Constitution written by Fr. Leopold Beccaro in 1863 From May 1853 there was discussion in the OCD General Definitory in Rome about affiliating our congregation to the OCD as its Tertiaries (Maniakkunnel 2005:154-155). Though Maniakkunnel wrote that we repeatedly asked for affiliation, there is no evidence for that. The one specific instance he mentioned (about Fr. Valerian Plathottam’s small book in English published in 1986,pg:8) is wrong (It was already denied earlier in 1932 in the ‘Carmelite Congregation of Malabar,p.45). It is learnt that the matter was discussed again in the OCD General Chapter of 1859 and decided positively. On July 20, 1860 Baccinelli officially requested the Superior General of the Carmelites(OCD) to aggregate our congregation to the OCD and the

130 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw decision was made known to us by Baccinelli on February 27, 1861(CWC!:168-169). From that letter it is clear that he requested for affiliation claiming that he founded the congregation, which was not correct. This claim was also contested by the members of the congregation including four of the eleven originally professed members in the letter to the Propaganda Fide in December 1877.

The major consequence of the affiliation was that the congregation lost its internal autonomy. The highest authority was the Superior General of the OCD and he exercised his authority through a Vicar Provincial (Baccinelli) and he in turn governed the congregation through his Delegate. Fr. Leopold Beccaro OCD who was appointed our novice master in 1861 was also appointed the Delegate of the Vicar Provincial in 1863, a post he continued to hold till 1873. As Delegate, he modified the constitutions given in 1855 with the consent of Baccinelli in 1863 conforming our rules to the OCD constitutions adding Part II of their constitution to the earlier one, mainly on formation. (A copy of this manuscript constitution as corrected on the 1855 constitution is kept in

September 2019; No. 243 131 I¿sΩektμiw DVK archives Bangalore, thanks to late Fr. Lucas VIthuvattickal CMI), (Positio 1977: 114,115). He also provided the congregation a structure with rules and regulations. There does not seem to have been much protest among the members as there was a good rapport between Mgr. Baccinelli, Fr. Leopold and our members. However, there was a glaring dichotomy between the contemplative character of the constitutions and the active life of the members, involved in preaching Sunday homilies in nearby parishes, conducting parish retreats, running schools and printing presses, fighting against schismatic movements for keeping the unity of the Church, and running catechumenates.

3.1.2. Constitution given by Archbishop Leonard Mellano in 1873. Bishop Bernardine Baccinelli expired in 1868 and he was succeeded by Archbishop Mellano. Mellano saw critically some of the changes Fr Leopold had made in the TOCD constitutions giving more freedom to the members. So Mellano convoked a General chapter at Manjummel, wrote and printed a constitution bringing greater rigor and control, adding the days of fast, more control on external

132 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw ministries, prescribing the vow of humility etc. He was offended to learn that a petition movement was going on requesting the Holy See to appoint a separate Bishop for the Syrians. He expelled seven priests from the TOCD congregation and there was strong protest against that. In 1873 Mellano terminated the appointment of Fr Leopold as Delegate to the Vicar Provincial and in 1876 expelled him to Italy. Two successive Apostolic Visitors presented their reports to the Holy See. In the midst of all those turbulences the new constitution was not put into practice (Bernard, 1908:138-139, Maniakkunnel 2005:205).

3.1.3. The Constitution of 1885 When in October 1877 Mgr Marcelline Berardi was appointed Auxiliary bishop for the Syrians he convoked a general chapter in 1877 at Manjummel and wrote a new constitution and sent it to the Holy See. Several letters protesting against some of the claims made in the introduction were sent to Rome by TOCD members (Positio: 1977: 178). For example in a letter written to Rome in December 1877 they wrote: “Although the aim of our Congregation is greater glory of God and the salvation of souls,

September 2019; No. 243 133 I¿sΩektμiw most of our first Fathers began this good work with the help of God, without anybody’s permission or suggestion, on their own accord, at their own expenses and by their own labour, that they might lead a monastic life. They did not get any help from the mission, except the permission to seek for alms from the Syrian Community, which was granted to them by Bishop Maurelius.

When such are the facts, how can it be said that the Founder of the Congregation is the most illustrious Bernardine himself, as the missionaries say now, or that the aim of establishing the convents is that the Bishop should have suitable personnel for preaching the Word of God or for rendering other services....” This time Rome made extensive enquiries and finally approved the constitution in 1885 without much changes adding only ‘Mary Immaculate’ to the name of the congregation. In the same year we were placed directly under the jurisdiction of Propaganda Fide (Juris Pontifici) and the Prefect of the Propaganda became our Prior General in 1887. Later when the Syrian Vicariates were established, Delegate Apostolic of India became our Prior General. He appointed one of

134 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw our fathers as his Delegate, and the office of the Common Prior was abrogated (Bernard 1908: 183-185). 3.2. 1885-1958: Gradual regaining of autonomy and balancing Contemplative and Active dimensions 3.2.1. Constitutions of 1889 and 1906. When the Papal Delegate to India and our Prior General Mgr. Andrea Aiuti visited Mannanam in 1889 he convoked a General chapter at Mannanam. The constitution was again revised. When it was experimentally approved in 1893 provision was made to have an elected Prior General and four councilors for governing the congregation from among our members. However we requested to have a Prior General from the OCD for some time and thus Fr Bernard OCD was appointed the Prior General. He was appointed Bishop in 1902. In the General Chapter of 1902 Fr. Alexander Kattackayam Senior was elected as the first indigenous Prior General and four councilors also were elected (Bernard,1908: 263). Thus about 40 years after affiliation to the OCD, internal autonomy was regained. Finally in 1905 the constitutions were again submitted to Rome

September 2019; No. 243 135 I¿sΩektμiw and it was given permanent approval on March 12, 1906 by Pope Pius X.

3.2.2. Constitutions of 1958 Though we gained internal autonomy, the Primitive Regula of the Carmelites was retained and we continued to be known as TOCD (Third Order of Carmelites Discalced) although ‘Mary Immaculate’ was added to the official name. The tone and tenor of the constitution was more of a contemplative congregation though we were getting deeply involved in a variety of apostolates like preaching retreats, conducting schools and colleges, parish ministry for migrants, missions outside Kerala etc. There was palpable tension between those who supported a sort of contemplative life and those who supported active life.

In 1952 Pope Pius XII promulgated the ‘Motu Proprio’ ‘Postquam Apostolicis Litteris’ promulgating the part of Canons on Religious life according to the Eastern Code of Canon Law, and the concerned religious institutes were asked to modify their Constitutions accordingly. The General Chapter of 1953 appointed a committee for the revision of the constitution. The revised constitution was thoroughly studied,

136 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw modifications made, and promulgated by the Holy See on December 8, 1958. The constitution contained several new features following the Eastern Code. Some of the other conspicuous changes were: the Primitive Regula of the Carmelite Order was dropped. We received a new name ‘Carmelites of Mary Immaculate’(CMI). There was an effort to have an effective balancing between contemplative and active life, though contemplative tone continued. In the letter of Promulgation the Holy See indicated that ‘No need of the Church in Kerala or outside should be considered alien to the scope of the congregation’ (Vadaketh: 2017:154).

4. Phase III: 1958-1984: Updating and Balancing Constitutions of 1984 The third phase of the evolution started with the publication of the document of the Council Vat II: ‘Lumen Gentium’, ‘Perfectae Caritatis’ and ‘Motu Proprio’ ‘Ecclesiae Sanctae, of Pope Paul VI in 1966. The main theme of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) was ‘aggiornamento’, updating of the understanding on and the teachings of the Church. It involved a double movement: going back to the sources and

September 2019; No. 243 137 I¿sΩektμiw updating. The Council spoke about consecrated life in its documents ‘Lumen Gentium’ and ‘Perfectae Caritatis’. Through the ‘Motu Proprio’ ‘Ecclesiae Sanctae’ of 1966 Pope Paul VI asked all religious Orders and Congregations to make appropriate renewal of their constitutions.

We had a long process of renewal of the constitution starting from 1967 involving all our members. In 1969 a constitution, Directory and Statutes were submitted to Rome which was experimentally approved in 1970. The 1972 Constitution stated that “The Founding Fathers of the Congregation made their prayer life the source of their apostolate, while their apostolate, enriched and invigorated their prayer life. Similarly, our apostolic efforts should above all, have the ring of religious authenticity about them (CMI Constitutions 1972, p.78, 17). Our study and renewal continued through 1972-1978. Then we were given two more years to complete the work. During the time when Fr. Thomas Aykara was Prior General, strenuous efforts were made in the special General Synaxis 1980-1982 for the purpose and the final detailed text approved by the Synaxis was submitted to Rome on March 15, 1982. After a detailed study the Oriental

138 September 2019; No. 243 I¿sΩektμiw Congregation proposed certain modifications which were incorporated and the text was promulgated on March 19, 1984. Further small modifications were made by General Chapters with the approval of the Holy See to suit new exigencies. Following the footsteps of our Founding Fathers, our Constitutions hold fast to a harmonious blending and balancing of Oriental, Carmelite and Indian traditions of deep prayer and penance on the one hand, and active apostolate for the integral salvation of our fellow humans on the other, a life centered on the love of God in Jesus Christ and spent for the service of fellow humans, a Religious Congregation born in India but open to the whole world.

“Precious in the eyes of the Lord when His loved one dies” (Psalm 116:15) Rev Bro Johny Cheruvathur CMI (70), one of the rare models of the Lay Brother Members of our CMI community, who lived as a shining example of highly dedicated religious life givingparamount importance for personal sanctity and prayer life together with utmost brotherly concern for every religious member of the community and sincere care for all who are needy, marginalized and neglected in the wider society, was called for his eternal reward on 26 June, 2019 after monthsof suffering due to cancer in the lungs. His mortal body was interned at St Thomas Monastery Pavaratty on 27 June, 2019.

Bangalore and Devamatha Provincial House Thrissur. One could notice Bro Johny walking With a stick in one hand and a chisel and hammer in the other, doing the necessary repairs and arrangements needed for anybody anywhere. With the responsibility to take care of the material properties of the institutions Bro Johny dared to face any risk to protect them. While in Bangalore he got manhandled by the thieves in the coconut farm, in an effort to chase them off at night and in another incident, lost one of his eyes as he was chasing the stray cattle that came to eat up the paddy of Devamatha Provincial house. During his long stay in the Provincial House Bro Johny developed very personal pastoral contacts with the liturgical community and introduced different devotional practices for them in the Church and in their family devotions. They all took him as one of their family members sharing their needs and problems as to a spiritual Father. He used to regularly visit the poor families in the vicinity and effectively helped then in their pursuits to alleviate their poverty, to educate their children, to find out some jobs, to build their homes and to establish peace and harmony among them. He proved to be solace and support for all the old people who used to come and spend the day in the ‘Pakal Veedu’ functioning in the Provincial House. Let us pray for him by offering the suffrages for the dead in the tenor of our Directory No. 58(b).

· After an eventful life, Rev. Fr. Werner Chakkalakal-Ieft thisworld for his eternal abode on 1 June 2019. His more than six decades of life and service as a religious priest in the CMI Con- gregation, bear witness to the undaunted spirit of a man who was immersed in his mission day in and day out, untiringly and perseveringly.

The Dioceses of Chanda, Adilabad and Sagar benefited from the planning skills of Fr. Werner. His association with Karl Kubel Foun- dation in Germany opened the path of their collaboration with NGOs in India. His initiative to provide support for seminarians was com- mendable. It was his vision along with Fr.Chelsus that initiated the present day family units of the Parishes. He started many projects and programs like, Prateeksha, Centre for Faith and Democracy (CFD), and authored many popular books like Galileyan, Hindu Christian Dialogue etc. He discovered the immense possibilities of mass media to preach the Good News. Even in his deteriorating health he would consider it his mission to disseminate the seeds of the Kingdom of God through his "Ichthos Forum". He played a sig- nificant role to support the Deepika Newspaper. There are many dimensions to his active and reflective life. To many in the Congrega- tion and outside, he had been a phenomenon with admirable passion for the missions. The depth of his interiority was unfathomable. His presence and life-style showed the simplicity and interiority of a true Carmelite. His great vision and plans for social change and development revealed the insatiable spirit of an activist within him. He was a phi- losopher by nature and by training, he was well-versed in ancient wisdom, cosmology being his favorite subject. Also he was a down to earth, practical man, who knew what he wanted. Fr. Werner was an unconventional priest and religious who thought outside the box. His contributions to the Church and the society at large are due to his original way of approaching any issue that confronted him. With his fertile and creative imagination, he could visualize projects and plans which strengthened and made effective various social apostolates of the Church. Failing eyesight did not diminish Fr. Werner's enthusiasm who
