There is no sign that it has reached its peak, and more deaths are being reported each day. I am recommending the following steps for the control of the virus: 1. Encourage our people not to shake hands at the Sign of Peace, but to greet each other with folded hands (namaste). In general, avoid shaking of hands. 2. Encourage our people to receive Holy Communion in the hand. 3. Before distribu on of Holy Communion, the Priest/Minister could purify their hands in a bowl of water/sani zer. 4. On Good Friday, at the Venera on of the Cross, discourage people from kissing the Cross. The blessing with a raised Cross would be adequate. Those who desire could come in a queue, make reverence with a bow, and go back. 5. Holy Water stoops may be kept dry. 6. If any one shows signs of the Flu (coughing or fever), please avoid contact with people. Medical assistance and care at home is the safest remedy. Evidently, all these are temporary arrangements, and will be reviewed from me to me. At the moment, these Norms can be followed ll Easter Sunday - April 12, 2020. If there is any indica on that an individual in the community is infected, Parish Priests are advised to temporarily suspend mee ngs of Cells, Sodali es, Associa ons and other large gatherings. Do advise people not to panic. The Government authori es are doing their best to face this challenge. All of us need to cooperate so we can combat this eff ec vely. Our fi rst faith response is to turn to God. I recommend the following prayer be said a er Mass, and frequently at home. Prayer Almighty and merciful God, who show your love to all Crea on everywhere, hear graciously the prayers we make for all those aff ected by the coronavirus in various parts of the world. We come before you asking for a quick control of the outbreak, for a healing of those aff ected, for the vic ms and their families. We pray for the doctors doing research that an eff ec ve vaccine to combat the sickness is speedily found. We pray for the Government and health authori es, that they may take appropriate steps for the good of the people. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen. ?Oswald Cardinal Gracias March 5, 2020 Archbishop of Bombay 4 · THE EXAMINER · MAR 14 - 20, 2020 ENGAGEMENTS CARDINAL OSWALD GRACIAS Sun Mar 15 10:00 a.m. Celebrates Eucharist with Induction of the new Parish Priest, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, Borivli Tue Mar 17 10:30 a.m. Bishops' Team Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort Wed Mar 18 In Agra Thu Mar 19 4:30 p.m. Celebrates Eucharist, Dedication of St Joseph Church, Greater Noida Fri Mar 20 Meetings with CBCI Offi ce Secretaries, CBCI Centre, New Delhi Sat Mar 21 6:30 p.m. Ordination to the Permanent Diaconate, Holy Name Cathedral, Fort BISHOP SAVIO FERNANDES Sun Mar 15 10:00 a.m. Full-day Recollection for the OCVs at St John the Evangelist Church, Marol 6:15 p.m. Mass at St Stephen Church, Cumballa Hill Mon Mar 16 4:00 p.m. Pastoral visitation, Provincialate of the Sisters Adorers (AASC), Marol Tue Mar 17 10:30 a.m. Bishops' Team Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort Fri Mar 20 5:00 p.m. Pastoral visitation, Provincialate of the Missionary Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles (SRA) at Stella Maris, Uttan BISHOP JOHN RODRIGUES Sun Mar 15 5:30 p.m. Celebrates Eucharist & attends Parish SCC Rally, Sacred Heart Church, Worli Tue Mar 17 10:30 a.m. Bishops' Team Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort Sun Mar 22 9:30 a.m. Confi rmations, Infant Jesus Church, Pantnagar BISHOP ALLWYN D'SILVA Sun Mar 15 9:15 a.m. Confi rmations, St Francis Xavier Church, Panvel Mon Mar 16 5:00 p.m. Women's Day, Uttan Tue Mar 17 10:30 a.m. Bishops' Team Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort Thu Mar 19 10:00 a.m. Pastoral Visit, Karjat Fri Mar 20 7:00 p.m. Sharing Pope's Lenten Message and celebrates Eucharist, Vashi Sun Mar 22 10:00 a.m. Confi rmations, St Joseph Church, Vikhroli 4:30 p.m. Farewell to Dr Geevarghese Mar Theodosius, Santa Cruz BISHOP BARTHOL BARRETTO Sun Mar 15 5:30 a.m. Celebrates Eucharist at Mount Mary Basilica, Bandra on the occasion of the Ruby Jubilee Walking Pilgrimage organised by the Legionaries, St Thomas Church, Goregaon (East) 9:30 a.m. Celebrates Eucharist followed by the SCC Rally, Our Lady of the Sea Church, Uttan 5:00 p.m. Graduation Day, IMFE Participants, Salvation Seva Kendra Hall, Dadar Mon Mar 16 10:30 a.m. Deanery Youth Coordinators' Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort 11:30 a.m. Parish Youth Directors' Meeting with Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop's House, Fort 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Our Lady of Dolours Church, Wadala Tue Mar 17 10:30 a.m. Bishops' Team Meeting, Archbishop's House, Fort 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Our Lady of Dolours Church, Wadala Wed Mar 18 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Our Lady of Dolours Church, Wadala Thu Mar 19 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni, Uttan Fri Mar 20 4:00 p.m. Meeting with the National Service Team of CCR and Bombay Charismatic Leaders, Golden Jubilee celebrations of the CCR, Salvation Seva Kendra, Dadar 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni, Uttan Sat Mar 21 7:00 p.m. Lenten Mission for the Youth, Shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni, Uttan Sun Mar 22 6:00 a.m. Celebrates Eucharist at the Shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni, Uttan on the occasion of the annual Walking Pilgrimage organised by the Bhayandar Deanery 9:30 a.m. Confi rmations, Sacred Heart Church, Worli 5:30 p.m. Celebrates Eucharist followed by the SCC Rally, Good Shepherd Church, Andheri (West) THE EXAMINER · MAR 14 - 20, 2020 · 5 PREMIUM APARTMENTS ON SALE IN BANDRA 1. 1 BHK , AGNELO ABODE, Carmel Society, 2nd Flr, No lift - 1.85 crs Nego 2. 3/4 BHK NEW Bldg,GYM & Swimming Pool,Off Turner Rd,Quote 6.50/7.75crs 3. 2 BHK, St Leo’s Road, 3rd fl r - 4.15 crs Nego 4. 2 BHK, Good bldg, Turner Road, S/F, 3rd Flr, One CP – 3.75 crs Nego 5. 3BHK with Terrace, St Leo’s Road, BIG Stilt CP,- Quote: 7.50 Crs 6. 2BHK “SEEMA APTS”, Carpet HEAD OFFICE: 802, Higher fl r, Bullock Rd, Paradise Lawn's Shop No 1 & 2, Near Raj Laxmi Bandstand- 4.90 Crs 7. 2 BHK, 850 sqft BUA, CP, No Lift, Building, Sanaik Nagar, at Andheri (E) St Francis Road, Bandra West – Capacity - 600 - 1000 Amboli, Andheri (W) 3.65 Crs Ample Parking space Mumbai – 400058 8.
