We also remembered the first saint from our soil, St. Alphonsa. I extend to all of you the blessings of these holy occasions. As the children of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, we also made the pilgrimage to his tomb of our father in Faith, Servant of God Archbishop Mar Ivanios. The devotion to the heavenly intercession and number of pilgrims are increasing every year.

    About the Cover Theme: A Voyage to Heavenly Home In the boat that is the Church we are making our voyage to the eternal light (nuhro). The boat is not ours, but Christ’s. It is Christ who steers her – and He shall not let her sink even when the sea is rough and the wind is against us (Pope Benedict XVI). We look forward to reach that eternal light (nuhro) in God’s kingdom to be with all God’s holy ones, “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:5). In Christ’s light (nuhro) do we see light (Ps.36:9) as the future priests who are called to participate in the one priesthood of Christ and accompany the families towards our heavenly home. Our Faith is that light that guides us in this voyage in this moon-lit night while our hearts sing “The LORD is my light (nuhro) and my salvation…” (Psalm 27:1) St. Mary’s Malankara Seminary MAJOR SEMINARY OF SYRO MALANKARA CATHOLIC CHURCH Nalanchira, Trivandrum - 695 015, Kerala, India Tel : +91 471 2114300, +91 471 2114100 Fax : +91 471 2532521 Email : [email protected], [email protected] www.malankaraseminary.com, www.smms-in.urbaniana.edu 2018-19 Nuhro is a syriac word, meaning light.
