It is great failure for the Church and its faithful who are called and commissioned to be vigorously active, to run away from their entrusted mission. The anointed prophet of God was looking for a temporary relief with one piece of bread and meat. But God's plan with him was some thing great and He did not allow the prophet to be inactive. The miraculous preservation of the life of Jonah in the belly of a fish was the great care of God for the further services of Jonah. CLICK HERE FOR FULL MESSAGE

ARTICLE LOVE, BROTHERHOOD AND MUTUAL RESPECT AS FACES OF SPIRITUALITY By Rev. Fr. Dr. Reji Mathew

The tender unconstrained affection leads us for the greatest courtesy and obligingness, one to another. Instead of contending for superiority, we should forward to give to others the pre-eminence.
