DIVINE LENTEN 2016 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION NO. 6: “WHAT DOES THE CROSS MEAN TO ME TODAY AND NOW?” by Rev. Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C.

In this heart-provoking sharing of God’s Word on Jesus Death of the Cross - “WHAT DOES THE CROSS MEAN TO ME TODAY AND NOW?”, Rev. Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C., Director -- Divine Retreat Centre, Somersby NSW, Australia, opens the eyes of our hearts to the true meaning and significance of Jesus’ Death on the Cross as it pertains to our daily lives “Every day we look at the Cross and we know, ‘My sins have been taken up by my Lord on that Cross.”

Yet many of us ask today – ‘What does the Cross signify or mean to me today?

How does this Cross touch my life or inspire my life today and now?

How does the Cross touch my life or inspire my life today and now?   

    

What about my daily problems and difficulties – how do I relate that to the Cross?

Fr. Michael reminds each of us what we need to do as disciples of Jesus in our daily living. “The thorns of our burdens will pierce through; many of the thorns will cause us a lot of pain but the Lord tells us - ‘take it up!’ – just as I have taken it up for you!”

“The Lord gives us an answer from the Cross!”

This blessed sharing of God’s Word by Fr. Michael explains with holy clarity why the Cross is truly a sign of Hope for every Christian.

On Holy Thursday, as we unite our hearts with Jesus, a EUCHARISTIC ADORATION  video by  Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C., Director of Divine Retreat Centre, Kerala, India will be shared as a holy preparation of the Healing Touch and Hope we receive from Jesus. It is the finale of our preparation for this Lenten season 2016.

Please do share this Divine Lenten 2016 Weekly Video Reflection series with your loved ones, prayer groups and friends to make this sacred season of Lent in this Holy Year of Mercy a truly transforming experience in our Christian life.

DIVINE LENTEN 2016 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION NO.5: "PRAYER - STAY ROOTED AND CONNECTED TO GOD" by Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C.

The fifth video of the 6-part DIVINE LENTEN 2016 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION SERIES at the top of this post is "PRAYER - STAY ROOTED AND CONNECTED TO GOD" is by Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C. - Director of Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor, Kerala, India. 

Fr. Augustine’s wisdom-filled sharing reminds every Christian of a most pertinent fact – “It is only when we keep our hearts open to God that we will be able to hear the Voice of God speaking to us.“

“Often we feel a certain dryness in our mind, a certain emptiness, sense of boredom, feeling tired, not finding any enthusiasm to go about doing our responsibilities. Even in the best things of life, we do not find much interest."

“St. Paul tells us of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) – Love, Peace, Joy, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. All these beautiful feelings, emotions, attitudes and characteristics will be missing in our hearts when we are cut off from Jesus.”

“We need to stay rooted to Jesus. When we are rooted in Him in prayer, all these beautiful sensations, attitudes and characteristics will abound in our hearts.”

“How should we pray? Jesus said we should not pray as a habit, a routine, an obligation or as a rule.”

Why is prayer truly intrinsic for us to lead a truly meaningful life of faith?  Why does prayer make THE difference? What is the need for prayer in our daily life? Fr. Augustine’s sharing shows us why our relationship with God is rooted in prayer. 

Next Sunday, Rev. Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C., Director of Divine Retreat Centre Somersby, Australia will be sharing the Word of God on "WHAT DOES THE CROSS MEAN TO ME TODAY AND NOW?"

DIVINE LENTEN 2016 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION NO. 4: "CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP BEGINS WITH ME" by Rev. Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C.

In this Spirit-filled homily - “CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP BEGINS WITH ME”, Rev. Fr. Michael Payyapilly V.C., Director -- Divine Retreat Centre, Somersby NSW, Australia, exhorts every Catholic to remember our faith is based on a community and not of our individual relationship with God only. “Today, if you go to parishes, after the Blessing is over, immediately people have disappeared and the priest will go outside thinking the people will be outside. But forget about the people, even the cars are not around! Everyone has disappeared – no one is talking. That is when we realize how individualistic we have become.”

“That is why even after the Holy Mass, the feeling of oneness is not there because we have become individualistic. We do not have the ‘time to spare; the time to waste’ – we are very time-bound Once we become individualistic, there will never be an experience. We are only praying for our own needs; we are praying only for ourselves. When we come for Mass, we do not even know who is sitting next to us!”

“What we do inside the church is what we do outside.”

“What did the early Christian community do? Why were they so vibrant? ‘They devoted themselves to the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of Bread and the prayers. Acts 2:42)’ Fellowship is where the difference is today. In our parish communities, there is no fellowship. If there is n fellowship, the parish community will always be incomplete.”

“Are our parish community increasing? Why?”

“It starts with each of us to make the difference in a parish community. There has to be fellowship. It has to start from you!

Are you able to help build up your parish community?”

This timely message of God share by Fr. Michael shows how critical it is for each of us to make our Catholic Church vibrant as it was in the early Christian community days.

Next Sunday, Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C., Director of Divine Retreat Centre, Kerala, India will be sharing the Word of God on “PRAYER - STAY ROOTED AND CONNECTED TO GOD”
