The Pontifi cal Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the World Council of Churches' Commission on Faith and Order T have been preparing the text for the entire world. "The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2020" EDITORIAL has been prepared by the churches in Malta, and the theme chosen is "They showed us unusual kindness" (Acts 28:2). On February 10, many Christians in Malta celebrate the Feast of the Shipwreck of St Paul, marking and giving thanks for the arrival of Christian faith on these islands. The reading from the Acts of the Apostles used for the feast is the text chosen for this year's Week of Prayer. Today, many people are facing the same terrors on the same seas. The very same places named in the reading (27:1, 28:1) also feature in the stories of modern day migrants. In other parts of the world, many others are making equally dangerous journeys by land and sea to escape natural disasters, warfare and poverty. Their lives, too, are at the mercy of immense and coldly indifferent forces – not only natural, but political, economic and human. This human indifference takes various forms—the indifference of those who sell places on unseaworthy vessels to desperate people; the indifference of the decision not to send out rescue boats; and the indifference of turning migrant ships away. This names only a few instances. As Christians together facing these crises of migration, this story challenges us: do we collude with the cold forces of indifference, or do we show "unusual kindness" and become witnesses of God's loving providence to all people? Hospitality is a much needed virtue in our search for Christian unity. It calls us to a greater generosity to those in need. The people who showed unusual kindness to Paul and his companions did not yet know Christ, and yet it is through their unusual kindness that a divided people were drawn closer together. Our own Christian unity will be discovered not only through showing hospitality to one another, but also through loving encounters with those who do not share our language, culture or faith. In such tempestuous journeys and chance encounters, God's will for His Church and all people comes to fulfi lment. As Paul will proclaim in Rome, this salvation of God has been sent to all peoples (Acts 28:28). The Conference of Catholic Bishops in India (CCBI) Commission for Ecumenism, calls on the Church in India to join the Maltese Church in their craving for unity. Great and big initiatives for Christian unity may seem beyond our reach. Yet, each one of us and each church community is capable of contributing our mite for the noble cause of Christian unity by following "the little way of ecumenism" shown by Blessed Sr Maria Gabriella Sagheddu, a Trappist nun who has been popularly heralded as the "Patron Saint of the Ecumenical Movement" for her own conversion from selfi shness and pride, which are at the root of divisiveness.

    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 ADMINISTRATOR'S MESSAGE Dear Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, Greetings from the Diocese of Vellore! It gives me joy and happiness to speak to you through our diocesan News Letter for the first time after becoming the Administrator of our diocese. As you know it was a saddening and shocking incident that our beloved bishop Most Rev. Dr. P. Soundararaju SDB., passed away on 21 March 2020. Due to the Covid -19 everything was locked down and we were not able to have a solemn funeral for him. In spite of that we were able to do the best homage to him. When everything comes to normalcy we will have solemn memorial mass for him. I thank the Almighty for His blessings and guidance and of course all the Council members, fathers, brothers, religious and people for their wonderful cooperation and kind understanding. In a special way my heartfelt thanks to Madha TV, the Chairman bishop Most Rev. Dr. Singarayan, the director Rev. Fr. David Arockiam and the team for their generous heart to telecast the whole funeral ceremony on live. I take this opportunity to thank all those who have expressed their heartfelt condolences and prayers to the demise of our bishop. First and foremost I would like to thank His Holiness Pope Francis for his deepest sentiments of hearty condolences and his message which is in the obituary and Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State who has sent the message. In the second place our sincere thanks to Luis Antonio G. Cardinal Tagle, Prefect and Archbishop Protase 2 Rugambwa, Secretary, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.

  • Liberia Field Report 2010
    Mission to Liberia By Lloyd and Nancy Greenhaw It had been just one year since we were here in Liberia and as we landed we could see and sense a slight change in the physical, spiritual, emotional atmosphere for the better. We were met at the airport by Monsignor Karnley, who has been the acting bishop for the last 4 ½ years. He is filling in for Bishop Francis Michael who lost his health trying to protect the Catholics and the physical buildings of the Church during the war. The bishop stood against the roving bands of government assassins, rebels, teens and young men drunk with alcohol, drugs and blood. They had been given permission by their commanders to raid the countryside, kill, maim, rape and destroy. This bishop held the line against the senseless violence and he is greatly admired by all the priests. After the war he experienced a stroke and there was no bishop to take his place, so Msgr. Karnley was appointed to be his spokesman. As a young priest, Msgr. Karnley has done a fabulous job with this young church. More than fighting one another, the warring factors mainly inflicted brutality on the innocent men, women and children of Liberia. Subsequently thousands, including older priests, never came back. Our team for this mission included Brent Heiser, who lives in North Carolina and is the county coordinator of Ghana for Renewal Ministries, and his two close associates from Ghana. Emmanuel Tamakloe is the National Worship Leader of Ghana, in charge of formation at the National Charismatic Renewal Center.
