  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO THE BISHOPS OF INDIA Dear Brother Bishops, 1. The remarkable varietas Ecclesiarum, the result of a long historical, cultural, spiritual and disciplinary development, constitutes a treasure of the Church, regina in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate (cf. Ps 44 and Leo XIII, Orientalium Dignitas), who awaits her groom with the fidelity and patience of the wise virgin, equipped with an abundant supply of oil, so that the light of her lamp may enlighten all peoples in the long night of awaiting the Lord’s coming. This variety of ecclesial life, which shines with great splendour throughout lands and nations, is also found in India. The Catholic Church in India has its origins in the preaching of the Apostle Thomas. It developed through contact with the Churches of Chaldean and Antiochian traditions and through the efforts of Latin missionaries. The history of Christianity in this great country thus led to three distinct sui iuris Churches, corresponding to ecclesial expressions of the same faith celebrated in different rites according to the three liturgical, spiritual, theological and disciplinary traditions. Although this situation has sometimes led to tensions in the course of history, today we can admire a Christian presence that is both rich and beautiful, complex and unique. 2. It is essential for the Catholic Church to reveal her face in all its beauty to the world, in the richness of her various traditions. For this reason the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, which celebrates its centenary year, having been established through the farsightedness of Pope Benedict XV in 1917, has encouraged, where necessary, the restoration of Eastern Catholic traditions, and ensured their protection, as well as respect for the dignity and rights of these ancient Churches.

  • Health Policy of the Catholic Church in India
    The Church’s involvement in health and healing has its mandate from Jesus. He healed the sick, consoled the afflicted and fed the hungry. He freed people from all that hindered their growth. ‘Sharing and Fullness of Life’, the Health Policy of the Catholic Church in India is a reminder to all its members in joining hands to work for ‘a healthy society where people, especially the poor and the marginalized, attain and maintain holistic well- being and live in harmony with the Creator, the self, one another and the environment’. This document calls to intensify Church’s collaboration with the Government, NGOs and others, basing on the just laws of this country and the teachings of the Magisterium, in bringing to the people ‘the fullness of life’. The Policy offers valuable guidelines and strategies in view of a greater effective involvement in the healthcare in India.

    FEBRUARY 2019 Vol. 04 | Issue 11 | MUMBAI | 32 Pages | Price: `10/- TH EDITORIAL 25 YEAR OF PRIESTLY ORDINATION CELEBRATION AT DIOCESE Pope Francis has continually emphasized the infinite mercy of a God who never tires of reaching out. Throughout his teachings, the Holy Father has put forth the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a gift that permits each one of us to encounter the mercy of God in a personal and profound way. “The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a Sacrament of healing. When I go to confession, it is in order to be healed, to heal my soul, to heal my heart and to be healed of some wrongdoing,” describes Pope Francis. (General Audience Feb. 2014). Pope Francis invites all to focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation as an important dimension of experiencing God’s mercy. The Holy Father says: “So many people, including young people, are returning to the Sacrament of Reconciliation; through this experience they are rediscovering a path back to the Lord, living a moment of intense prayer and finding meaning in their lives. Let us place the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the centre once more in such a way that it will enable people to touch the grandeur of God’s mercy with May the their own hands. For every penitent, it will be a source of true interior peace.” Grace and Peace (Misericordiate Vultus, #17) Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops of our Lord Dear Friends, be with you Sacrament of Reconciliation has the potential to change us if we allow it and have the desire to live out the graces that have been bestowed on us as a result.

    1 FAITH CONFESSION OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament St. Thomas Syro-Malabar understanding of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Catholic Diocese of Chicago St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by living My Lord and My God and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro- Malabar Church in the United States of America.
