   |   | We are happy to know about the publication of an Ecumenical Christian Magazine "The Christian Light of Life" 
 We are sure this will help in our efforts for a Spiritual renewal of the society and take special care for the Social sphere considerably shattered these days.
 
 Today we are confronted with very difficult problems, conflicts of all kinds, abuse over the divine creations and actions, which lead the human being away from his God and creator.
 
 Let us give necessary directions to the people "to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world".
 
 We have to work for the implementation of Christian ideals, which are also common to all mankind, ideals of peace on earth and good-will among men.
 
 Necessary guidance have to be given to the people to lead a good life so that we are able to produce a community to be lived in peace and harmony and also in praise of God.
 
 With all best wishes and blessings,

   |   | I am glad to know that you have a publication called "The Christian Light of Life" in view of Ecumenism. Unity in any aspect, whether in the family, parish, church, society, country and world, is very important. Unfortunately we see everywhere disunity! Any effort in the line of bringing Christians together is the work of the Lord as He himself prayed for this unity of his own followers: "I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me" (Jn 17, 20-21). Let "The Christian Light of Life" expel the darkness of the culture of death around us and help us to experience the of Christian unity. 
 My prayerful wishes to everyone involved in the promotion of "The Christian Light of Life"

   |   | It gives me immense joy to know that 'The Christian Light of Life' has now progressed to the point of launching its printed version. I have every reason to believe that this is good news to all those who are looking for spiritual and devotional literature of quality, which is not easy to come by. I would especially urge all parents to incorporate the reading of biblical and Christian literature into their family culture. Children need to be nurtured in the spirit of our faith in this age of pervasive and penetrating materialistic influences. 
 I deem it a privilege to be part of this new enterprise, and wish it all success. I also wish to appeal to the Christian community to encourage this timely enterprise through subscriptions and moral encouragement. It is not easy to undertake a venture like this and it needs to be facilitated to the best of our abilities. May God Almighty bless this effort and make it the mustard seed of spiritual nourishment that would grow and extend its branches of comfort and guidance to people all over the world.
