  • Sanmaargi MDB July
    MYSORE DIOCESAN BULLETIN MDB 04/2018 JULY - AUGUST Sanmaargi to shepherd HIS flock Bishop’s House, #2939, P. B. No. 12 Mother Theresa Road Lashkar Mohalla, Mysuru 1 MDB 04/2018 JULY - AUGUST- 2018 1) THE FEAST OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE: The Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle is celebrated on the 3rd of July every year. St. Thomas is well remembered in India specially for his apostolate of proclamation. The feast of St. Thomas the Apostle calls on us to embark upon a deep faith, exploring the ultimate truths that look beyond externals. Let us pray specially for the Church in India. Let the Lord enable us to give priority to the mission of evangelization in our ministry. On this day, it is also the Patron’s day of our Bishop Emeritus - Most Rev. Dr. Thomas Antony Vazhapilly. We shall specially pray for the intentions of our Bishop Emeritus. 2)THE FEAST OF JOHN MARIE VIANNEY - PATRON OF PRIESTS: As we are celebrating the feast of St. John Marie Vianney, the Patron of all the Priests on 4th August, let the flame of love and solidarity be experienced in our priests and be witness to the parishioners. Fr. Vianney celebrated Mass early in the morning and it was apparent to everyone that he was fulfilling the Sacrifice of the Son of God on the Cross. His parishioners flocked to him for 2 confession and felt the joy of God’s forgiveness and of conversion. He listened, understood, read their minds, prompted repentance and comforted them. Ars became the European capital of reconciliation with God: men and women from across Europe and around the world would set out for France because they truly believed that in an out-of-the-way French village, a priest consumed by prayer and penance was speaking of God, hearing confessions and guiding souls to holiness.
