ST. THOMAS INDIAN ORTHODOX SYRIAN
CHURCH, AHMADI
MARCH- 2013
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
"Dreams are not the ones which come when you sleep, but they are the ones which will not let you sleep."
BIBLE VERSE
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing St. Luke 23:34
Vicar’s Message
Beloved brothers & sisters in Christ,
Greetings of Lord Jesus. Let us thank God for all the blessings he has showered upon us. We are on a journey towards Calvary. The Holy Lent Days are meant to be days of transformation. During the lent days we ought to fast. The church is having a very different set of prayers during these lent days. These prayers when chanted carry our mind & heart to those days. There is an entire change in our life style.
What does all this aims at? Why did the Holy Fathers of the church arrange such changes during the lent days for its children? A journey to Calvary is a journey of Transformation. The change in our food style every now and then remains us of the preparation we need. We should be ready to give up anything for the sake of Christ who was ready to give his life for us. The prayers of repentance give us the knowledge of our sins. These days we should have a thorough evaluation of our life. We, human beings have our own weakness. Often we are selfish and proud. We misunderstand our blessings to be our own success. So as we travel towards the Calvary let us take time to evaluate our self. Submit ourselves to the Almighty. Confess openly before the Lord. Let us prepare ourselves for the glorification which Christ got after his death. With Prayers,
May God Bless You All.
Yours in Christ
