Prior General’s Message

Back to the Basics

1. Time’s Up, Be Ready:

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances” (William Shakespeare). A missionary is called to be always on the move; Moving has been built into our genes and it is part of us. We will not get settled down till we complete our race. Hence seemingly painful “good-bye” expression of parting could be expanded and elevated as “God be with you” experience of blessing. “Please forgive me,” “I forgive you,” “Thank you,” and “I love you” – are the four simple phrases or eleven words that make the journey ahead graceful. A casual visit to the cemetery might teach us a great lesson that no one is indispensable. The antidote for those who think of themselves as above others is humility and to say heartily, “We are unworthy servants; we have done only what we ought to have done” (Luke 17:10).

2. After me Deluge: John the Baptist is the text book to be read during the point of transfer and transition. He was well aware of his mission as the one who prepares the way for the Lord (Mark 1:2). “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie (Mark 1:7). “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). That is why Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 1:11). CMI family is yet to become generous and great for graceful retirement and transition. Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great. (Mark Twain)

3. New Chapter Please: Let us begin again. Provincial chapters are around the corner. It is a time of discernment, conversion, purification and accompaniment. The chapter members shall do the homework and speak truth with a prophetic mind and pastoral concern. A leadership team that does not criticize, update and seek to improve the state of affairs of the province becomes irrelevant and sick. A healthy body is one that can recover, accept, reinforce, care for and sanctify its members. “But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot” (Matthew 5:13). What makes an effective leader? The most important leadership competency identified by Sunnie Giles based on a global study is that the leader shall have high ethical and moral standards (HBR, March, 2016).

4. Gossip Circles: “ Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone” (Colossians 4:6). We do a lot of damage to ourselves and others when we write off gossip as a small issue. The birds of the same feather flock together and get engaged in gossip. They lack courage to speak directly and find joy in seeing another fall. Such members threaten the harmony of the community and cause so many scandals to the young. “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).

5. Mediocre, but Arrogant: The face value of the priests and the religious has come down and they are viewed as mediocre and arrogant. God deserves our best. God’s people deserve our best. “The only sin is mediocrity” (Martha Graham). Mediocrity literally means halfway up the mountain in a state of having given up. Life without constant striving is a life of mediocrity. “True disciples are not content with mediocrity, but rather they rejoice in the mission of evangelization” (Pope Francis). Mediocrity multiplies the same over

4 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw and over again and it breeds arrogance. When the serene shut their mouth, the mediocre shout at others with arrogance and justify their incompetence. A single person can bring great good to the entire body, but also bring great harm and lead to sickness. Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. “So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth” (Revelations 3:16).

6. Poor, Yet Live Like the Rich: “The hypocrisy of those consecrated men and women who profess vows of poverty, yet live like the rich, wounds the souls of the faithful and harms the Church” (Pope Francis). Wanting more has become the sickness of the day. Is it not false security that a religious tries to fill an existential emptiness in his heart by accumulating material goods? Some glorify their bosses for their benevolence and they become victims of careerism and opportunism. The people of God have a great nose for sniffing out priests who serve the god of money more than God the father (Pope Francis). As the corporate leaders set the agenda for the modern governments, secular outlook and corporate mindset have plagued our religious ecosystem. We will bite the dust unless we become as wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16). We shall listen to the warning of the Lord: “But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love. Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first” .(Revelations 2:4-5).

7. They Resist, but be Resolute: In any renewal and change process, resistance is natural. In his address on Roman Curia Reform, Pope Francis spoke of three types of resistance namely, open, hidden and malicious. Open resistance is often born of goodwill and sincere dialogue. Hidden resistance is born of fearful or hardened heart content with the empty rhetoric of “spiritual window-dressing.” They

March 2017; No.234 5 I¿sΩektμiw say they are ready for change, yet want everything to remain as it was before. Malicious resistance springs up in misguided minds. It hides behind words of self-justification and, often, accusation; it takes refuge in traditions, appearances, formalities, in the familiar, or else in a desire to make everything personal, failing to distinguish between the act, the actor, and the action. Resisting voices have to be listened to, welcomed and encouraged, but we shall be resolute in doing what is expected out of us. Like the resolute desk of the American Presidnet in the Oval Office in the White House, we need a resolute attitude and determination to make the change possible. ”A normal life is boring” (Eminem).

8. Stay Awake with Him: “Could you not stay awake with me an hour?” (Mathew 26:40). Staying connected with the Lord is the backbone of all that we do and all that we are. Like Martha, we are anxious and too busy with our workload. A constant danger with the zealous among us is that they become so immersed in the work of the Lord that they neglect the Lord of the work (St. John Paul II). Most of us are laid up with spiritual Alzheimer’s and have fallen into the temptation of trying to close or direct the freedom of the Holy Spirit. “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer and fasting” (Mathew 17:21). Those who depend completely on their here and now, on their passions, whims and manias, build walls around themselves and become enslaved to their own idols

9. Quo Vadis? Where are you going? ”Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8). “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8). “The Church needs us, counts on us and continues to turn to us with confidence, particularly to reach the geographical and spiritual places where others do not

6 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw reach, or find it difficult to reach.” But are you ready to script a new story in your life? As a congregation we shall move to the peripheries where we are badly in need of in evangelization, formation, pastoral care and all what God wants from us. The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet. Missionary diet is the secret of our success and growth of our congregation. How blessed are you when you say, “Here am I. Send me.”

Lord of Mercy, Give us the discernment that you gave to our founding fathers to read the signs of the times! May the Spirit of the Lord encounter us to seek God’s will always and everywhere! Mother Mary, pray for us to sanctify ourselves and to work for the salvation of all!

The Challenges to Discipleship

The first few days of this year’s Lent have been unusually turbulent. The liturgical season of Lent itself is a turbulent one. It spreads through the public life of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Master. It is to go through a process of catharsis joining Jesus on the Way of the Cross to Calvary and to reach beyond the cave of Resurrection and to await the coming of the Holy Spirit in the Pentecost. It is the ideal time for renewal, reflection, return to the foundations of our faith, deepening the faith and reparation.

In Kerala, we have witnessed, of late, a media celebration and circus, unusual and unprecedented, around a grave scandal involving an influential priest, influential for the posts he has held or has been holding. This incident involving a priest who is deprived of his priestly duties subsequently and is under judicial custody, is awaiting legal procedures in this case of abusing a minor who gave birth to a child and sent for adoption subsequently. He has been in charge of a school and parish in the Diocese of Mananthavady when this happens and in a position of authority, influence and dominance. It has been shocking, shameful and painful for all. It is of a little consolation that the Church acknowledges the mistake and says sorry from all quarters. What the media has been exercising is a blanket criticism through and through adding colour, fumes and figments of imagination. Even Jesus Himself is sharp referring to such offences as has happened here. This is what Jesus has to say about scandals: “Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must happen that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh” (Mt. 18:7). It is a time for a collective examination of conscience;time for reparation and correction where it is required. Do I have the moral integrity and clean conscience to sit in judgement over anyone? No. We are all in the struggle of becoming

8 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw or reaching that status of purity and integrity wherein we respect all human beings, despite the consequences of original sin, created after the image of God and in charge of the universe and an environment which is our common heritage. I still remember the metaphor of the wounded healer heard years ago; and so are the priests and religious after the model of Christ – offering healing while they themselves are wounded one way or the other.

Jesus Himself has not guaranteed a Church free of scandals and offences. The so-called ‘talk shows’ in the guise of news on TV and the trolls in social media hold the Catholic Church as the defendant and has been conducting a trial and celebrating it with full vigour. Past and the present mistakes and pitfalls in history have been spilled in to the streets in the process. The almighty hosts of the shows with their team to do the homework on the history of the church come with some definite agenda, as it appears, even to lynch the church and score brownie points than keeping a balanced position when the whole Church stands defenseless. The Church will not and cannot deny its past. No religion or society of human beings can do that. Gravitation of all the people, the X and Y of them, who have their personal vendetta to spew their hatred and ill feelings against some persons belonging to the Church or Church institutions, join together in social media playing second fiddle to the action on stage to catch fish in the troubled waters. Those who consider the Church as a threat for their interests also jump in to the wagon seeing the time favourable for them. Official Church has condemned the incident and apologized profusely to the public after the example of Pope Francis. Can the disciples expect any better treatment than what is the master’s fare? “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household!” (Mathew 10:24-25).

And the media solutions are very drastic too. Some want the age old practice and tradition of priestly and religious celibacy discontinued. Some want the Catholic Church to be disbanded. Some

March 2017; No.234 9 I¿sΩektμiw want the lay leadership to take possession of the church property. Some even want the priests and religious to be neutered. Some others propose dietary controls to check sexual urge. Yet others have suggested some practical steps and caution to be exercised in relationships with the celibates. Some come out with steps and precautions for parents in bringing up their children. Will any or all of these solutions preempt any more incidents like this? Will any or all of it solve all the problems of the world with regard to gender difference and human psychology? The answer is obvious and a big NO. Human nature is such a complex and mysterious gift of God which is to be lived with its positives and negatives in each one’s life. It is a reminder that we are not angels yet and are made of clay. Traditional societies, while not idealizing or glorifying any of those societies or any particular aspect of those, have been supported by many systems which our ancestors in their wisdom had incorporated into the bringing up of new generations for their socialization. Modern civilizations with all their positive values have cut many of those supports believing that they have already attained the status of superman of Nietzsche and the present social system is the most ideal one to follow. It appears from some comments in the media as if the whole world will be saved if we destroy the Church and priesthood altogether; the last bastion to be conquered in their march towards perfect anarchy!

With this in the backdrop, the Seminar which has taken place in the month of February at Dharmaram College, Bangalore, on the occasion of commemorating sixty years of training candidates for priesthood, happens to be very contemporary and relevant to the context we live in. Rectors of various seminaries and professors and invitees joined together with the students to have a serious and closer look at the process of training. The greatest challenge of today, according to many of the presenters during the seminar, has been human formation. The finesse and sensitivities required, at the base of any religious, theological or ecclesiastical formation which may be called the ‘human formation,’ is the key for successful priestly and religious ministry. It is quite a challenge to impart them at a later stage

10 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw in life. The focus has to go back to the basic unit of Christian families as the nurturing ground for Christian life and human values. It takes us back to St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, our founder, and his concern for families as exemplified in Nalla Appante Chavarul and his special devotion to the Holy Family. Incidentally he has been instrumental in formalizing the process of priestly training among the Syrian Catholics of Kerala. The vocation happens in the families, vulnerable as they are in these days of exposure to all kinds of morbid social realities of sexual perversions and addictive habits, exposed as they are to estranged relationships, egotism, worship of money and power, temptations and inducements, counter values and fads projected through television, internet and movies and what not. Can we insulate the families from this ambience? Not possible. Can we isolate the seminarians from such a reality? A time has arrived wherein the so- called secular forces are dictating their values and making absolute claims which are in conflict with the traditional values upheld by world’s religions, especially the Catholic Church. Soon we may have to confront with a legal system and social trends dictating the religions to compromise on their tenets of faith and morals. Resolving those conflicts may not be easy. But the call ‘Follow me’ is divine and powerful to surge above the sum of all these fears.

28 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw HUMAN FORMATION IN MAJOR SEMINARIES Seminar cum Workshop 10-13 February 2017 Dharmaram College, Bangalore

Dharmaram College, on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of its foundation in Bangalore in 1957, conducted a four-day national level seminar cum workshop (10-13 February, 2017) on “Human Formation in Major Seminaries,” to appreciate and celebrate the gift of priesthood and to evaluate the effectiveness of human formation, and its relation to the intellectual, spiritual and pastoral formation, so that we have ‘shepherds after the heart of the Good Shepherd.’ It was a providential coincidence that the seminar began on the birthday of St Kuriakose Elias Chavara who gave pioneering services in the field of priestly formation, beginning with the foundation of a seminary in 1833 at Mannanam, even before the community was canonically established in 1855.

The Concept The Church has always considered the formation of future priests as one of its most demanding and important tasks. This task has become all the more challenging in the socio-cultural context of today, marked by new and rapid changes. It is a demanding task for the formators to understand the changing dimensions of the culture and the candidates coming from that culture, and to accompany them in the process of becoming shepherds after the heart of the Shepherd. Formation involves various dimensions, namely, human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral. Pastores Dabo Vobis as well as subsequent documents of the Church has highlighted human formation as the basis of all priestly formation: “The priest, who is called to be a ‘living image’ of Jesus Christ, head and shepherd of the Church, should seek to reflect in

March 2017; No.234 29 I¿sΩektμiw himself, as far as possible, the human perfection which shines forth in the incarnate Son of God and which is reflected with particularliveliness in his attitudes toward others as we see narrated in the Gospels... In order that his ministry may be humanly as credible and acceptable as possible, it is important that the priest should mold his human personality in such a way that it becomes a bridge and not an obstacle for others in their meeting with Jesus Christ the Redeemer of humanity” (Paragraph 43). Moreover, they are to be inculcated in the capacity to relate with others, and to attain affective maturity, which involves an education in true and responsible love (paragraphs 43, 44). Pope Francis has reminded us that, “Human formation is therefore a necessity for priests so that they learn not to be dominated by their limitations, but instead to build on their talents” (November 2015). He has repeatedly emphasised the importance of cultivating human qualities of compassion, understanding and mercy, and thus to become “shepherds with the smell of the sheep.”Many formators feel that human formation of the candidates for priesthood must be given more attention. Although formation is an ongoing process which may never be complete at any given point of time, it is felt that even at the time of the major seminary studies, the level of human formation achieved by many is below the ideal presented and expected. This seminar cum workshop was, therefore an attempt to respond to this need, with special references to the Indian situation.

Organization This seminar was organised under the guidance of Rev. Fr Paul Achandy, CMI, our Prior General. In spite of his busy schedule, he was personally involved in the selection of the theme and the planning. Moreover, Fr Prior General participated in the whole seminar. The organisation of the seminar was entrusted to Rev. Fr Thomas Aykara, the Rector of Dharmaram College. Fr Rector made a detailed plan of the seminar, in consultation with the experts in the field, and assured the involvement and participation of the entire Dharmaram community, and all its constituent units. Various committees were

30 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw formed for working out the details, and to make necessary arrangements for the seminar. Although the plan was to have 80-100 participants, including the full time participants from Dharmaram, more than 140 priests participated in the seminar, including 25 from Dharmaram. Of these, 130 were major seminary professors from 46 major seminaries in India. Although the seminar was planned for major seminary formation and academic staff, a few novice masters and aspirants rectors from the CMI provinces also were invited for the seminar. Advisory Committee: This seminar was organised in collaboration with other major seminaries in India. Accordingly, the Rectors of a few major seminaries were invited to join the advisory committee of the seminar.

The members of the Advisory committee: Edward Mudavassery, SJ (Rector, De Nobili College, Pune); Joy Ainiyandan (Rector, St Thomas Apostolic Seminary, Vadavathoor); Mathew Illathuparampil (Rector, St Joseph Pontifical Seminary, Aluva); Joseph Felix Michael (Rector, Sacred Heart Seminary, Poonamallee, Chennai); Joseph Mathias, SJ (Rector, St Peter’s Seminary, Bangalore); James Kadankavil, SDB (Rector, Kristu Jyothi College, Bangalore); Shaji Thomas Manikulam (Rector, St Mary’s Malankara Seminary, Trivandrum); Linus Neli (Rector, Oriens Theological College, Shillong); Anicento Pereira (Rector, St Pius College, Mumbai). The Advisory Committee members offered their whole hearted support, giving suggestions and guidelines in the planning and execution of the programme. Besides the heads of various units of Dharmaram, the deans and heads of DVK, the rectors of the CMI seminaries in North India, namely, Davis Varayilan, CMI (Rector, Samanvaya Theology College, Bhopal), Sebastian Alackappally, CMI (Rector, Darsana Philosophate, Wardha) and Antony Puthanangady, CMI (Rector, Carmel Vidya Bhavan, Pune), were invited to join the steering committee of the seminar.

The Proceedings of the Seminar The inaugural session, which was attended also by the students of DVK, took place at 11.00 am on 10 February 2017 in the BJTM Hall at Dharmaram College. The session began with a prayer led by the brothers of third year theology. Fr Thomas Aykara, CMI (Rector) welcomed the gathering, highlighting the CMI-Dharmaram legacy in priestly formation. In the inaugural address, Moran Mor Baselios Cardinal Cleemis, President of the CBCI and Catholicos of the Syro- Malankara Church, reaffirming the foundational importance of human formation, said: “Priestly formation without the basic human qualities and virtues will remain merely an academic exercise.” Rev Fr Paul Achandy, CMI (Prior General, CMI Congregation), in his presidential address reminded the participants that the art of parenting is a matter of education and training. Both the seminarians and the formators should remember that “I cannot be a good priest and religious, if I am not a good human being,” said Fr Prior General. We need to focus on the emotional quotient to face the challenges of VUCA by CMI: Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity of the contemporary society where we live and serve demands Contextualised Multiple Intelligence (CMI) — that was the message of Thomas C. Mathew (Vice-Chancellor, Christ University). The inaugural session was concluded with the vote of thanks proposed by Fr Anto Amarnad, CMI, followed by Dharmaram Anthem.

In the first session with Rev Fr Joseph Mathias, SJ (Rector, St Peter’s Seminary, Bangalore) at the Chair, the orientation paper on Human Formation was given by Rev Sr Katarina Schuth, OSF who has academic excellence and long years of service in the field of priestly formation in the US. The human formation programme in the seminaries is to enable the seminarians to grow in emotional maturity, to become men of integrity with a sensitive moral conscience leading to admirable moral behaviour. She also presented the year-wise, Organization and Implementation of Human Formation Programs at St Pauls Seminary Minnesota, US. Rev Fr Linus Neli (Rector, Oriens

32 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw

Theological College, Shillong) presented a paper on the Human Formation in the magisterial documents of the Church. Referring to 21 documents from the magisterium on priestly formation, Fr Linus insisted that both the formators and the seminarians should know the mind of the church and fulfil it in the local context as they participate in the great gift and task of priestly formation. Rev Frs Joy Philip Kakkanattu, CMI & Sebastian Mullooparampil, CMI (DVK- Dharmaram College), made it clear that Jesus in the Gospels is the model for human formation both for the formator and the seminarian. As formation is fundamentally a process of configuring to the person of Jesus, we need to learn and practice the human qualities of Jesus. The day concluded with a Bible service led by the third year theology students, followed by a dinner hosted by DVK.

On Saturday, 11 February, 2017, His Grace Bernard Moras, Archbishop of Bangalore, presided over the Eucharistic celebration and preached on the theme of Good Shepherd and reminded the participants the importance of priestly formation.

There were three papers on different aspects of human formation in the third session, chaired by Fr Joseph Felix Michael (Rector, Sacred Heart Seminary, Poonamallee, Chennai). Fr George Manalel, VC (De Paul Institute of Counselling and Clergy Affirmation Centre, Ernakulam) spoke on Developing Human Qualities, reminding that it is not the instinctive pleasure principle thatshould guide us in formation but reality principle. Fr Mathew Illathuparampil (Rector, St Joseph Seminary, Aluva) presented an excellent paper on Formation of Conscience in the Seminaries. Fr Ittoop Panikulam, SVD (Gyan Ashram, Inter-Spiritual Dialogue Point, Mumbai) dwelt on Ongoing Human Formation of Formators. The papers were the result of their academic research and experience from the field, and were followed by clarifications and discussions. In the following session, Sr Virginia, SAB (Bangalore) spoke ‘Perspectives of a Religious Sister’ on human formation in major

March 2017; No.234 33 I¿sΩektμiw seminaries, in the light of her experience, especially as a visiting professor in various major seminaries. With great respect for the gift of priesthood, and expectations of the people of God, she pointed out some aspects where the formators and priests should pay greater attention to be gender sensitive and inclusive in their attitudes and actions. The papers in the afternoon session examined further into aspects of human formation and personality development. Fr Dinesh Braganza, SJ (JDV, Pune) spoke on Affective Maturity; Fr Gabriel Mathias, OFM (St Anthony’s Friary, Bangalore) on Psycho-Sexual Formation, and Sr Katarina Schuth, OSF on Integrating Sexuality, Celibacy and Intimacy. The papers were well studied with practical suggestions for improving the human formation programme, taking into account the rich resources in psychology and counselling. They pointed out the need of helping seminarians achieve affective maturity, and addressed the issues of sexual misconduct and sexual abuse by the clergy, and suggested methods to curb such incidents in future by focusing on attaining sexual maturity during the formation. During the evening session chaired by Fr Sebastian Alackappally, CMI (Rector, Darsana Philosophate, Wardha) Mr Sibichen K. Mathew, IRS (Commissioner of Income Tax; St Thomas Parish, Bangalore) and Dr Olinda Tims (St John’s Research Institute; Francis Xavier’s Cathedral Parish, Bangalore) gave the laity’s perspectives on human formation in seminaries. The sharing was particularly useful, as it was important to know the mind of the lay people and there was consensus that more lay people could be involved in the seminary formation. The day concluded with a bhajan session led by Fr Anto Amarnad, CMI, and the brothers of the first year philosophy, followed by a dinner hosted by Christ University.

On Sunday, 12 February, 2017, Bishop Mar Antony Kariyil (Bishop of Mandya) presided over the Eucharistic liturgy and spoke on the differences between the formation during the pre-and post Vatican II periods. Narrating his own experiences, he highlighted how

34 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw the formation in the post-Vatican II period has become more person- centred.

In the ninth session chaired by Fr James Kadankavil, SDB (Rector, Kristu Jyothi College, Bangalore), Fr Viju Painadath, CMI (Christ University-Dharmaram College, Bangalore) and Wilson Chakkyath, CMI (DVK-Dharmaram College, Bangalore) spoke on Relationship with One’s Own Seminary Community based on a survey of over 400 seminarians. Fr Konrad Noronha, SJ (JDV, Pune), basing on an online survey among seminarians, expanded the dynamics of Relationship with One’s Own Family, with the Pastoral Community and with the Wider Society. Msgr Tomy Tharayil (Auxiliary Bishop Designate, Changanacherry) spoke on the Impact of Internet, Social Networking Sites, etc. on Human Formation based on his studies and experience with seminarians. In the afternoon session the presentations were on other aspects of priestly formation and their relation to human formation. Rev Fr Aniceto Pereira (Rector, St Pius College, Mumbai) chaired the session. Fr Jose Mariadas, OIC spoke on Intellectual Pursuit and Human Formation, Fr Ajoy Fernandes, SDB (Prafulta-Matunga, Mumbai) on Spiritual Life and Human Formation, Fr Jacob Parappally, MSFS (Tejas Vidya Peeth, Bangalore) on Human Formation and Leadership Skills, and Fr Joseph Thannickal, SDB (OGFC at Nitika Don Bosco, Kolkata) on Formation to Maturity through Fuller Experiencing: Exploring Formative Potentials in Adversities, Failures and Sufferings.

In the evening session, Chaired by Fr Dominic Vechoor (Vice- Rector, St Thomas Apostolic Seminary, Vadavathoor) three Newly Ordained Priests — Fr Lancy Dias, SJ (studies in Pune), Fr David Nesan (Chennai) and Fr Jobin Thayil, CMI (Bangalore) — gave a critical appraisal of the human formation that they had received, especially in the light of their present priestly ministry. The sharing was appreciated by the participants as they gave a window to how

March 2017; No.234 35 I¿sΩektμiw the young priests look at their long years of formation. The session was followed by a prayer session led by the brothers of D-Section. The day concluded with a dinner hosted at Dharmaram in honour of the participants, and cultural programmes staged by Dharmaram brothers.

The Holy Eucharistic celebration on the final day was in the Syro Malankara rite with Bishop Joshua Mar Ignathios (Bishop of Mavelikara) as the main celebrant. In his homily he asked both the formators and the seminarians to be compassionate and merciful in their life and ministry. In the concluding session, chaired by Fr Francis Thonippara, CMI (Director, Vinayasadhara, DVK), Fr Jose Nandhikkara, CMI (DVK-Dharmaram College, Bangalore) through his Briefing of the Seminar Sessions refreshed the participants and shared with the DVK student community the proceedings of the seminar. Sr Katarina Schuth, OSF, in her third and final paper spoke on Human Formation: Challenges Today, and Fr Edward Mudavassery, SJ (Rector, De Nobili College, Pune) on Human Formation in the Major Seminaries in India: Challenges and Responses.

The concluding session was held in the John Britto Chethimattam (JBC) Auditorium at DVK. Fr Paulachan Kochappilly, CMI (President, DVK) welcomed the gathering, underscoring the contribution of DVK to priestly formation. In his concluding message, His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alencherry (Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church) spoke especially on the missionary dimension, pointing to the document, Priestly Formation in the Syro- Malabar Church. Rev Fr Paul Achandy CMI reiterated the importance of priestly formation and thanked and congratulated Dharmaram community, especially Fr Thomas Aykara CMI, theconvenors and others involved in the organisation of a very successful seminar cum workshop.

36 March 2017; No. 234 I¿sΩektμiw

The seminar cum workshop was indeed a great gift of God with over twenty presentations from highly trained and experienced resource people who had direct contact with priestly formation. All the aspects of human formation were systematically examined, presented and discussed. It was indeed a rich experience to see so many Rectors and formators committed to the ministry of priestly formation with love and care. It was also rewarding to see how the sisters and lay men and women look up to priests with love and respect for greater maturity, care and holiness. We hope and pray that this seminar cum workshop and the follow-up would result in enjoyable and fruitful priestly formation and effective and faithful priestly ministry.

We are indebted to all the resource persons for presenting well-prepared papers and for actively participating all through the seminar. We should particularly mention Sr Katarina Schuth who came all the way from the USA, and who presented three papers for the seminar. In each session, after the presentation of papers, 20-25 minutes were allotted for clarifications and discussion on the papers. Besides, the session following each plenary session was dedicated completely for discussion in groups. The reports of the group discussions were presented in the plenary, followed by discussion. The leaders and secretaries of various groups deserve great appreciation. Fr Jomy George Pantiruvelil, CMI, offered his service as the secretary for the discussions in the plenary. The brothers of Dharmaram College deserve great appreciation and gratitude for perfectly arranging everything for the smooth functioning of the seminar. Reverend Fathers and Bro. Joseph Muttanolil worked day and night to coordinate all the work. The leadership given by Fr Thomas Aykara, our Rector is praiseworthy. Above all, it was a programme taken up by Dharmaram community with one heart and one soul! A fitting celebration of its Diamond Jubilee! The papers of the seminar will be published within a few months. Under the leadership of Fr Prior General and Fr Rector, we are also

March 2017; No.234 37 I¿sΩektμiw planning to continue this network of major seminaries in To be a priest and to be involved in the priestly formation are indeed God’s great gifts and privileged moments of grace. May St Kuriakose Elias continue to inspire and intercede for us so that the formation that we give and receive in the seminaries in India result in mature and integrated priests who follow the Good shepherd knowingly, willingly and lovingly. If only we knew the gift of God!

Fundamentals of English Grammar

Fr. P.A. Varkey C.M.I., M.A., B.Ed.

Communicative competence is one of the stated purposes of language. As long as we are able to communicate effectively what we intend to communicate, the language serves this purpose. Flawless communication makes communication faster, effective and enjoyable. The more competent one is with his or her linguistic ability, the higher level one can traverse in communicating ideas, topics, etc. The stronger and wider the wings for a bird are, the the higher and farther its reach will be. Grammar serves as the backbone for flawless and easy communication. It acts at the base of our use of language as the solid foundation. So many techniques are used to learn a language other than mother tongue. Even the word lingua, which acts as the root for language, means tongue. Mastery over another language is like acquiring one more ‘tongue.’ Even though English cannot be strictly called a foreign language, the importance of learning it is undisputed in almost all Indian homes. Since, immersion as a technique of learning English may not be possible everywhere, introducing English at the school level, the grade or

March 2017; No.234 57 I¿sΩektμiw class at which it is introduced is a matter of policy, is important. Here is a book of grammar by a veteran teacher, Rev. Fr. P.A. Varkey CMI, fine tuned and perfected with his long teaching stints at various levels of learning, schools, colleges, to formation houses. This book can ideally be used at higher secondary level of schooling and above. It comes with a lot of personal dedication and love of teaching from the author who loves the language and its nuances. Wish the author all success in his mission.

JOURNEY OF 34 or DARSANAVAZHIYIL 34

It is also a Book of Documentation printed by the Department of Research and Documentation of the Congregation. 34 mem- bers of the batch Sketched their life story in a very short way in this book but it is a re- corded short history of their lives, a gift to the generation as a reference book. Though this kind of presentation is a first attempt in our congregation, it proved its worth as a document and gives new inspiration for the coming batches to follow in this direction to become recorded gifts of the congregation. We congratulate the batch for their contribution. The Department of Research and Documentation also deserves special congratulations as it succeeded producing such a document after several attempts with previous batches.

The Guidelines given for the batch from the Department also are presented with this for the coming batches to follow.

PRAYER FOR SUCCESS IN STUDIES

God, the source of all wisdom, I surrender myself to you. O God, enlighten my intellect, strengthen my memory, give me more concentration in studies. Bless me to remove all fear, distractions and obstacles in my studies and to study with courage and self-confidence and attain great success. Protect and safeguard me, my parents, brothers and sisters, teachers. O Saint Chavara, through your prayers and services you are very dear to God and fellowmen. You are the one who provided the setting for our forefathers to sit together and study without the distinction of caste, creed or colour at a time when education was not very common. You knew many languages and you are a friend of students. O dear father, intercede for me before God, the heavenly Father, and obtain blessings from Him for all my needs especially for this particular favour…

Cyric Kochalumkal CST was leading the fathers and brothers of Darsana in retreat to have a real introspection within themselves by his powerful words and admirable deeds. During that time all brothers met Rev. Fr Rector personally to inform their desire to renew the vows and gave necessary corrections which are essential for their religious lives.

Christmas Day Celebrations The main attractive character of Christmas in Darsana is its own simplicity and its fraternity towards other communities. After the renewal of the vows brothers were engaged in the crib work. We adopted the model of Colloseum for the crib, and the birth scene of Jesus was put similar to the concept of the origin of the world according to Vedas and Hindu Holy Scriptures. Brothers Vibin Mattoor, Franklin Edasseryil, Jerin Illikal and Bobby Makolil were the coordinators of crib committee. Stars and flying Santa were the other attractive features of the crib. On the eve of Christmas we started the Holy Mass at 11.30 pm. Rev Fr. Rector presided over the Holy Mass along with Fr. Martin Onasseril, and Fr. Martin Kuzhivelil. Fr. Martin Kuzhivelil gave the homely. On the day of Christmas many were busy with guiding the large crowd who came to see our crib and chapel. The large crowd to Darsana shows that Darsana is being accepted by the people of our locality.

Chavara Institute of Indian & Interreligious Studies (CIIS) 40 Years of Glorious Service in Rome (Fr. Isaac Arickappallil CMI, Director - CIIS)

Our Chavara Institute of Indian and Interreligious Studies Rome enters its 40th year of service. It was established in Rome in the year 1977 as a creative response of our CMI Congregation to the call of Vatican Council II to enter into interreligious dialogue and study of world religions (NA 2). The original name of the institute was Centre for Indian and Interreligious studies (CIIS) and from its very inception the Centre has been offering various programmes in interreligious studies and Eastern Christianity. Recognizing its unprecedented growth the Centre has been raised to the status of an Institute changing its name into Chavara Institute of Indian & Inter- religious Studies (CIIS) later. Considering its continued contributions in the field of inter-religious studies and further enhancing the academic excellence, the institute has been declared in 2010 an Extension Centre of Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram (DVK), Bangalore.

Programmes at a Prime Location The prime location of the Institute in the city of Rome very close to Vatican and in the vicinity of various ecclesiastical and secular universities helps the students and the public to make good use of its service. The activities aimed at fostering Indian and interreligious studies, dialogue and religious harmony are inter-religious prayer meetings, talks, seminars, extension lectures, lecture series, courses, inter-religious festivals, publications etc.. Promotion of research and studies in Eastern Christianity is another task of the Institute. Our library with rare volumes mainly in English on Indian religions and cultures, inter-religious topics, comparative study of religions and Christianity is really an academic treasure house for university students and scholars specializing in these areas.

Fr. Patrick Kaipuzhavakel (1934-2016)

“The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want” With these words of trust in the Lord Fr. Patrick Kaipuzhavakel CMI (82), the eldest among the priest members of Nirmal Province slept in the Lord peacefully at 4.10 am on 27th December 2016. The funeral service was begun at 9.30 am on 31st of December at Nirmal Provincial House. The solemn Requiem Eucharist presided over by Fr. Provincial was celebrated at St. Joseph’s Cathedral Jagdalpur. Bishop Simon Stock Palathra CMI, a co- missionary of Fr. Patrick in Jagdalpur mission, was the main celebrant for the final ceremonies of the funeral service which were held at Cathedral and later at Nirmal Asram Cemetery in Nakti Semera. Fr. Thomas Vadakumkara CMI gave the funeral homily highlighting the 40 generous years of the committed life of the deceased missionary.A good number of priests, religious and lay people from different stations were present to pay hom- age to him and to take part in the funeral services. Fr. Patrick Kaipuzhavakel CMI was born on 24th July 1934 at Kumarankari as the fifth son of the Late Varghese and Thresiamma Kaipuzhavakel. He made his first religious profession in the congregation on 8th December 1955 and had his philosophical studies at Chethipuzha and theological stud- ies at Dharmaram in 1958-1962. After the ordination he was assigned to different monasteries and houses in the undivided St. Joseph’s Province like Kurianad, Pala, Kottayam, Mannanam and Vizhinjam and so on. During his term in Vizhinjam he had the privilege to construct the Church there. In between he also served as secretary to Fr. Provincial and the Bursar of K. E. College, Mannanam. In the month of July 1976 Fr.Patrick reached jagdalpur to serve the mission and was entrusted with Konta which was one of the farther- most stations of Jagdalpur mission situated at the southern part of Bastar. He had the pioneering task of building up the station from its

March 2017; No.234 129 I¿sΩektμiw nothingness which he did with his dedication and commitment. Later from 1981 to 1986 he was to take up another challenging mission at Mariguda. This station which, though had to undergo various atrocities in 1989, has grown today as one of the biggest centres of the diocese.

Another station where he made significant contributions was Narayanpur; during the period of 1990-1999 he constructed the presbytery and initiated a lot of good works for the betterment and benefit of the people. During the years 1987 – 1990 he served as the diocesan procurator and from 2000-2003 as the provincial councillor for finance. After retirement from active missionary assignments he pre- ferred to be in far away mission stations like Chote-Bettiya, Bande etc., where he supported the priest in charge to establish the centre and to initiate several beneficial programmes for the upliftment of the people around. Fr. Patrick was a committed religious and a zealous missionary who toiled day and night to build up the missions that were entrusted to him in spite of the limitations and inconveniences. The lack of conve- niences and facilities did not hinder him to venture taking up such assignments. The stations like Konta and Mariguda speak of the excel- lent and laborious work done by him to develop these centres to their present stature. In fact, he made remarkable contributions to the build- ing up of Jagdalpur mission during its hard and tough infancy. Fr. Patrick’s simple life, docility to superiors and readiness to take up any assign- ment in the mission as well as in the congregation were marvelous; his humility which was evident in the words which he used in normal con- versations like ente Arivinte kuravinte Valippam is to be noted. His love for the poor and the congregation was very much evident ex- amples of these great virtues Fr. Patrick bequeathed to the younger generation. The missionary zeal of Fr. Patrick never permitted him to sit idle but moved him to where he could do some good to the people of God. Till October last he was in Mardum rendering pastoral service when di- agnosis was made, and aggressive and advanced brain tumour was
