Emanuel Rayes advent is known as the “little Lent,” the first week I challenged everyone with the idea of Retired in residence offering baby sacrifices for baby Jesus by offering prayers, donations, and penances. Just Linda Arabo Office Administrator as the Magi labored through a long journey to worship and gave precious gifts to the Christ Aiser Shammami Child, so we can do the same. We can give the Baby Jesus our sacrifices during the Advent Pastoral Associate season. It’s not too late to start this fun practice for the whole family! We still have a good Office Hours 10 days before Christmas and Jesus’ gift should be the first on our list!

    DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit Placid Podipara´s Reflection on the Church “St. Thomas Christians are Indian in Culture” Verfasser Lijo Joseph angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Theologie (Mag. theol.) Wien, 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 011 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Diplomstudium Katholische Fachtheologie Betreuer: Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Rudolf Prokschi 2 Dedicated to all the members of the Syro-Malabar Church 3 4 Acknowledgements This is a master’s degree thesis investigate on Placid Podipara’s reflection on the Church “St. Thomas Christians are Indian in culture”. It is a humble attempt to know how Fr. Placid Podipara understood the birth and spread of Christianity through the preaching of St. Thomas the Apostle. With the passage of time, Christian religion rooted well, adapting itself to the customs and practices of the place. There was no attempt on the part of Christians to remain aloof from a given society or tried to remain a separate entity. The Church has accepted, absorbed, and assimilated itself to the good elements of Indian culture. With deep sense of gratitude, I acknowledge the valuable contribution of some important persons who helped me to complete this task. I am thankful to my bishop, Mar Mathew Arackal, Bishop of Kanjirappally, India, who sent me to Austria to do my theological studies in the University of Vienna. Gratefully I acknowledge the role of Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Rudolf Prokschi for his valuable suggestions, corrections, and guidance. I thank Fr. Stephan Mararikulam MSFS, Fr. Joy Plathottathil SVD, Stefan Jahns, Dr. Daniel Galadza, and Michaela Zachs for the correction of the language and suggestions.

  • The Ecclesiastical Liturgical Year for the Church of the East by Rev
    The Ecclesiastical Liturgical Year for the Church of the East By Rev. Tower Andrious Introduction The ritual year is like an icon, in which the believer sees the presence of the salvific past and a vision of the glorious future. It gives earthly time and the temporary human presence a new spiritual depth, so that the faithful can live his life accompanied by historical Jesus, the Savior, and vision of the victorious Christ, the heavenly groom. That means, the liturgical year is not only an ecclesiastical calendar for remembrance of the events of Christ life with the goal of education but is also a symbolic mystery that enables us to meet Christ face to face, as if Christ himself was among us. Oftentimes, the term “East-Syriac” is used by theological scholars to distinguish it from the term used to refer to “West-Syriac”, which is often used to refer to the Syriac Orthodox Church. Throughout this article, the term East-Syriac is used interchangeably to refer to the Church of the East. All the apostolic churches in the east and west annually celebrate Lord's feasts, the commemoration days of His mother and other saints as intensive phases of religious and worship life. The goal of this article is to provide an introduction to the structure of the east Syriac ritual year, with a brief explanation of each of its elements, its role in reviving the religious life of people. Theological dimensions of the liturgical year The purpose of celebrating the liturgical year is to achieve the salvation God has accomplished for humankind through Jesus Christ.[1] The Church distributed the stages of Jesus' salvific work throughout the months of the year.

Werda Assyrian International News Agency Books Online www.aina.org 1 The Flickering Light of Asia or The Assyrian Nation and Church This Book On The Flickering Light of Asia, or The Assyrian Nation and Church is dedicated TO MY DEAR PARENTS, whose sole ambition was that I should serve the cause of Christ; whose unselfish love taught me the meaning of service to others; whose Christian influence left an indelible impression upon my life; and whose earnest and persistent prayers were destined to be answered in the arrest of my steps, and in the guidance of my feet into a service which even now must be their, as is my own, supreme delight. And whatever good there may come out of this imperfect labor of love, which may contribute toward the resurrection of my fathers' church, and the restoration of that church to her former sphere of influence and usefulness in Christ's kingdom, that good should, above all, endear the peerless name of Him who hears and answers the persistent prayers of Christian parents.

It was in a manger in Bethlehem, a little town near Jerusalem. Not only did the shepherds in Bethlehem hear this angelic song; so did the wise men in Persia. Even after 2000 years we cannot claim that there is peace on earth. It is becoming worse and worse year after year. Angels may not claim now that there is peace on earth. Not only in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, but especially Iraq, Syria and elsewhere there is great terrorism threatening the peaceful existence of people on this planet earth. As long as oil is not dried up in the oil fields of Iraq there will continue to be religious and political instability.
