  • The Catholic Church and Divinization Through Education
    Research Paper ISSN-2455-0736 (Print) Peer Reviewed Journal ISSN-2456-4052 (Online) The Catholic Church And Divinization Through Education Bijumon George Kochupurackal and Dr. Reena George Research & Development Centre, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu Associate Professor, Karmela Rani Training College, Kollam, Kerala [email protected] Abstract The Catholic Church is considered as the largest educational institution in the world. For the church education is ‘a divine mission’ for transforming the world based on the Gospel values of ‘service in love, peace rooted in justice and fellowship based on equality’. Everyone irrespective of caste, creed and gender have access to education with the intervention of the church in the educational field. Until then in Kerala and in the other states of India education was reserved to high class people. Certain political leaders and media persons rigorously and continuously criticize the church and try to condemn all the services and contributions of the church in the field education. The church proposes that education should be based on moral, individual and social values. Thus the proper and ultimate aim of education is divinization of human person. The role of the church in education is not just to make a human better human, not just to make him a more social being with good social and moral or ethical values but make him to actualize the divine potential in him. Introduction The Catholic Church is always interested in providing education. She is active both in the fields of religious and secular education. The Catholic Church is the biggest educational institution in the world. When we speak about the global educational perspective we can never side back the role of the Catholic Church in providing worldwide education.

  • International Seminar on St Thomas Christians Through the Ages: a Historiographical Approach 30, 31 January, 1 February 2018
    International Seminar on St Thomas Christians through the Ages: A Historiographical Approach 30, 31 January, 1 February 2018 The origin, development and the vicissitudes of the St Thomas Christians in India under native and European powers who established their sway over the subcontinent of India for a couple of centuries have been attracting the attention of scholars from far and wide. Both the Indian and European scholars tried to delve deeper into the origin of Christianity in India and a number of them proved the apostolic origin though, of course, there are a few “doubting –Thomases” among them. The current generation and their progeny will assuredly benefit a lot if the works on the various aspects of the St Thomas Christians are critically assessed and brought to their notice before they disappear from print media. It is commonplace understanding that history is re-constructed with the aid of different sources like archaeological, numismatic, and epigraphic evidences, near contemporary literary works, ballads or ancient popular songs, patristic testimonies and living tradition. Basic Christian communities in various parts of the coastal Malabar since the first Century A.D speak for the evangelization of the Apostle at the beginning of the Christian era. The knowledge about the existence of Christian settlements in Kerala dating their origin back to St Thomas, the Apostle prompted St Thomas Christians living in the Persian Empire, following Eastern liturgical and theological practices, to come and strengthen their fellow-Christians in India in the fourth and the ninth centuries. The copper plates granted to the leaders of the migrating groups stand strong testimony to the nature of these groups.

  • Role of Chavara in the Establishment of Syro-Malabar Hierarchy
    Vol. 10, 1 (2014) Pages: 65-74 ROLE OF CHAVARA IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SYRO-MALABAR HIERARCHY Thomas Kadankavil CMI Abstract: One of the boldest steps that St Chavara took in his ecclesial life was to make a request to Rome for the appointment of an indigenous bishop, even as the Church that he belonged to was headed by a foreign bishop. The author explores the early struggle of the Syro Malabar Church becoming conscious of her identity and the significant contributions of St Chavara towards the formation of the Syro Malabar hierarchy. Keywords: Hierarchy, Holy See, Syro Malabar, Bishop Roccos, liturgy, Church, Padroado, Chavara, Carmelites 1. Introduction Pius IX (1792-1878, original name being Giovanni Maria Mastai- Ferretti) was the Pope (1846- 1878) while Fr Kuriakose Elias Chavara was giving leadership to keep the Syro-Malabar Church in communion with the Apostolic See and to shape the CMI Congregation. We have two letters that Chavara had written to the Pope directly and several other letters to the Prefect of the Congregation for Propagation of Faith. The relevant portions of these letters and the reply he received from Pope Pius IX are reproduced here for a proper understanding of the role Chavara played in advancing the structural and liturgical evolution of the Syro-Malabar Church. 2. Extracts from the Correspondence of Chavara with the Holy See 2.1. The Letters of Pope Pius IX Regarding Bishop Roccos The following letter is a reply Chavara received to his inquiry about the authority of Bishop Thomas Roccos who came to Malabar as the authorized bishop for the St Thomas Christians.

  • KURIAKOSE ELIAS CHAVARA Visionary and Karmayogi of Families
    Vol. 10, 1 (2014) Pages: 119-132 KURIAKOSE ELIAS CHAVARA Visionary and Karmayogi of Families Ann Elizabeth CMC Abstract: This is a short study of the vision of St Kuriakose Elias Chavara on the families. Family, being the smallest of the constitutive elements of the society, it was only natural for Chavara to begin there as he launched his programme for the renewal of the society. In this study, the emphasis is placed on the role of the parents in the shaping of the future of the child. Keywords: Family, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, prayer, parenting, Chavara 1. Introduction A person of virtues and good deeds finds a place in the hearts of people, society, and the world itself. The fruits of goodness radiate and always find an enduring place in human history. The experience of goodness in a person adheres in a lasting way and such a person leaves an indelible mark. Convinced of the fatherhood of God, Father Kuriakose Elias Chavara sowed the seeds of brotherhood among his fellow beings. Anointed by the fire of divine love, he exemplified in himself deeds of altruism. His life was a unique blend of holiness and humanitarianism. Realizing that a healthy society could be established only by paying attention to the individual and family, he esteemed every human being and catered to the welfare of the families. His own family played a significant formative role in making of Kuriakose. He was born on 10 February 1805, in the verdant village of Kainakary in Kuttanad, the erstwhile granary of Kerala. He was blessed with a truly Christian family ambiance of love and peace, sharing and caring, fasting and prayer, discipline and personal growth.

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

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See GREETING OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO HIS BEATITUDE GEORGE ALENCHERRY MAJOR ARCHBISHOP OF THE SYRO-MALABAR CHURCH Clementine Hall Monday, 17 October 2011 Your Beatitude, I am pleased to greet you and the members of the Permanent Synod of the Syro-Malabar Church who have travelled to Rome in an expression of communion with the Successor of Peter, and I thank you for your kind words on their behalf and in your own name. This visit is a significant one, as it comes not long after your election as Major Archbishop. By coming here, you provide an eloquent sign of the hierarchical communion that you formally expressed in your recent letter to me requesting confirmation of your election. Your predecessor, the late Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, has left a legacy upon which you and your brother Bishops will surely wish to build. In this context, I would like to recall the example of the two holy patrons of the Syro-Malabar Church, Saint Alphonsa Muttathupadathu and Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, who were beatified by Blessed John Paul II, during his visit to Kerala twenty-five years ago. Later, the grace fell to me to canonize Saint Alphonsa in 2008. At home, the Syro-Malabar Church in Kerala continues to enjoy the respect of the local community for its work in education and for its social and charitable institutions at the service of the whole community. I know that life for Christians has been complicated by sectarian mistrust and even violence, but I would urge you to continue to work with people of good will of all religions in the area, in order to maintain the peace and harmony of the region, for the good of the Church and that of all citizens.
