kennen lernen und aufnehmen... In den
kirchlichen Gemeinschaften ist ihre
Tätigkeit so notwendig, dass das Apostolat
der Seelsorger ohne sie meistens nicht zur
vollen Wirkung gelangen kann." (KKK 900)

My dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, This
is the time when the Universal Church is celebrating
the Year of Mercy. Let me express my joy at the
observance of this Year of Mercy by all our lay
faithful, priests, the religious and bishops. Holy
Father Pope Francis has published the Apostolic
Exhortation “The Joy of Love” in this Year of Mercy
after the conclusion of the two synods on family
life in Rome. Our faithful are receiving by now new
directives and reflections through the writings of
the bishops and of other members of our Church with
regard to the renewal of family life.

 Pray
for Rev. Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil for his release - called by
Cardinal Cristof Schönborn and Cardinal Mar George
Alencherry
Fr. Tom is a Salesian priest abducted by the same terrorists
who killed the Missionaries of Charity sisters in Yemen.
Prayer requests are made by Cardinal Cristof Schönborn and
Cardinal Mar George Alencherry for his release.
It is important not to sensationalize these stories and
rumours, yet equally important is the need to pray for Fr.
Tom facing persecution and martyrdom at the hands of
anti-Christian and others
“Hosanna to the Son of
David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

Appeal of the Cardinal for Prayers for the Persecuted
Communities
Dear Rev. Fathers and my dear brothers and sisters
in Jesus Christ,
Wars are
being waged in many countries. The reports of these
wars that we come to know through the media are
heart-breaking. The war between Palestine and Israel
is very terrifying. Already 2000 people have lost
their lives in the war at Gaza. The civil war that
is taking place in Iraq is as terrible as the war in
Gaza. Religious fundamentalists see people belonging
to other faiths as their enemies and try to covert
them through sheer brute force.

known as “Dukarana”. It is also on the third of July
that the feast of St.Thomas is celebrated in the

the Christian communities belonging to the seven
churches established by St.Thomas are known as
Thomas Christians. They now belong to the Syro-Malabar,
Syro-Malankara, Malankara Orthodox, Jacobite
Orthodox and Mar Thoma Churches. All those have
embraced the Christian faith through the missionary
efforts of these churches are also known as
St.Thomas Christians.

Pastoral Letter from Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil
(Jan. 14th 2007)
Venerable Brothers and Beloved Children,
The Catholic Church has always considered its
tradition regarding liturgical music as a priceless
treasure. More than any other artistic expression,
music is held in great esteem in the Church.
The Constitution on Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican
Council reminds us that music is given an exalted position
in liturgy because sacred music forms an inseparable and
indispensable part of the liturgy (SC 112).
