Meditation Daily
John-14:1-16.
Respected Dear Ones,
Movement is part of our earthly pilgrimage. We fix a target and move to that target. This movement makes our life more colorful and meaningful. Each movement in our life has its own destination. This particular destination and the success of our movement to this destination provides joy and satisfaction. When we search this destination, we even forget the hard work since the blissfulness overshadow us.     

                                                        It is one of the important passages in the scripture that is the focus of today’s   reflection.” Jesus the way to the father. John-14:1-16”.it deals with the specific goal and the apt way to this goal. Yes as we understand from today’s   gospel, our heavenly father is our goal and directs us to the father through the way that is to Himself. Jesus reveals himself. “I am the way the truth and the life” Jesus is the path to the father. As the truth he is the reality of all God’s promises. As the life he is the divine life to our life.
                                       In the last part of today’s gospel Jesus gives us a promise that” Below the skies name will be given for the salvation of humankind.” Here the hidden power of the name ‘Jesus’ is revealed. Therefore during this meditation let us contemplate on the name, Jesus in order to follow Him who is our way, truth and life.
“yesu jaya namam jaya yesu namam jaya”.    
                       
Thank you

“Never forget O Brave One the best kind of existence is to exist for others” Saint kuriakose Elias Chavara was a social reformer. He is the first canonized catholic male saint of Indian origin. He was one of the founders and first prior general of the first religious congregation for men known as the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate and the founder of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel a religious congregation for women. Though his excellence touched all field, today I would like to focus him as a social reformer. Alas! Till 20 th century kerala history ignored him. But today things are changing. History accepted him as a social reformer. That is why, his history and contributions are become the necessary part of various grade exams like IAS, PSC, etc. He hailed from a Syrian Catholic family. He played a major role in educating and uplifting the people of kerala. St. Kuriakose Elias had the conviction that only through education the social status of people can be impr...

St. Therese of Lisiex – Doctor of the Church “I fell that my mission is about to begin, my mission to make God loved as I love Him, to teach soul my life way” in the answer to the question “What is the little way you want to teach the souls?” Theresa said: “It is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.” The poet Ben Johnson beautifully wrote that “ I t is not growing like a tree In bulk doth make Man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night— It was the plant and flower of light.” What is the use of a long life, when it’s meaningless? What is the use if we live as long as Methuselah who lived for 969 years (Genesis 5: 27) and have no sweetness in life? Even if life is short we need to make it sweet. Jesus life was short, just 33 years, but he gave sweetness to others; St. Theresa’s life was short, just 24 years...
