God gives healing to the body, mind and soul. There takes place renewal in love in personal and family relations. He showers on us forgiving and compassionate love.

The breaking of bread practised by the early Christian communities is very much the same as the present day Holy Eucharist. We say the Holy Mass everyday following the instructions of Jesus who said, “Do this in remembrance of me”

I was suffering from continuous leg pain and constant giddiness. I prayed earnestly and pledged to distribute 50 copies of Vachanolsavam free to people. I also pledged my testimony in Vachanolsavam. The good Lord heard my prayers and all my ailments were taken away. Praise the Lord! Rosy Varunni, Karapparambil, Chalakudy, Thrissur

After four years of married life I had a baby. But because of high blood pressure the child died. Even my life was in danger. The gynecologist said that the uterus might have to be removed. But the good Lord came to my rescue. We prayed earnestly for another child. We also took some treatments. We regularly read Vachanolsavam and we also gave away 16 copies of Vachanolsavam each month for a whole year. We also pledged our testimony in Vachanolsavam when a child would be born to us. I became pregnant, but I had high blood pressure. But because of all our prayers the good Lord blessed us with a baby. Thank you, Jesus! Deepa Joan, Thettayil, Srimoolanagaram, Kerala

Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh State Minority Commission has recommended to form a Board similar to the Waqf Board with the intention of taking control of the properties of the Christian Minorities. The State Minority Commission has recommended to the Government that all the properties with the Christian Minorities that have been gifted to them or granted to them by the Government should be brought under the control and use of the Government. The Bishop of Bhopal Archdiocese, Leo Cornelio, strongly condemned this move by the State Minority Commission. All the properties currently with the Christian Minorities are under the Firms and Societies Law. Moreover, all the accounts are audited and all the necessary documents are submitted regularly to the government. The Archbishop further said that the State Minority Commission is working against the interests of the Christian minority and so it has lost its moral basis to continue in office. The organization called Madhya Pradesh Isai Mahasangh has passed a resolution in the political affairs committee meeting to organize protests against the anti-minority stance of the Minority Commission throughout the State. To campaign against this ‘black law’ the organization has formed an agitation committee. If the Government decides to move as per the suggestion of the Minority Commission, the organization will take the matter to the Court.
