    K’fiptho Sunday/ healing the crippled woman

    March 29, 2014 /

    The wounds of people’s infirmities rarely escape Jesus’ notice and he was always ready to offer a healing touch. The woman in the story was walking around the church bend over, to see how the world looks from her vantage point. How does it feel to walk that way? What are the burdens that weigh you down and bend you over? Take a deep breath and stand up straight, offering your burdens to God. Stretch out your hands in praise to God, who declares you have been “set free!” Feel the tightness and pain, in your heart and on your body parts. Breathe in and breathe out slowly. Each time…

    The Sacrament of Confession; 21st Century perspectives

    March 27, 2014 /

    Receiving Christ in communion during the Holy Eucharist is the foundation of living in communion with God, with people, with nature, and with the whole creation. Any act which breaks our communion with God and with God’s creation can be described as a serious sin. Sin is historically viewed as staying off the path, and getting lost from the communion of God. It is for this reason that in most of the Orthodox churches examination of conscience (if necessary going to sacramental confession) is an integral part of the preparation for communion. However, unlike an instant or ritualistic practice confession is an ongoing process of trying to see our life,…

    Passion Week and Easter Liturgy in Malayalam, English and in English Transliteration

    March 26, 2014 /

    Dearly beloved in Christ, With great gratitude to the Almighty Father, the long term need of Malankara Syrian Orthodox faithful living outside Kerala to have Liturgical translations especially for the younger generation who are not familiar with Malayalam has been fulfilled by the St. Gregorious Indian Orthodox Church, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. This work has been originally compiled by Very Rev. Lazarus Ramban. We thank almighty Father for helping Very Rev. Lazarus Ramban for accomplishing this work. Although this is not an official or authorized translation of the Church, prima facie this is very helpful for the non-native speakers of Malayalam to meaningfully participate in the Passion Week and Easter Services. However,…

    4th Sunday of Great Lent/ Canaanite woman

    March 22, 2014 /

      Jesus was amazed by the faith of the Canaanite woman and her daughter was instantly healed. The physical and practical nature of Jesus’ ministry is remarkable. Not only does he teach deep truths, but he also heals people who are sick or disabled and take time to feed a crowd of hungry people. In what ways can we minister to people- caring for the “whole person”- as Jesus did? To whom might we reach out today?

    Healing the Paralytic/ M’Saryo Sunday

    March 15, 2014 /

    In the story of healing the paralytic, there were two categories of people around Jesus; those who were ‘hearing God’s words’ (they think they are close to God and listening to the Word!) but indirectly ‘blocking’ the needy from reaching God. The second category is those who helped the paralytic to reach God; those who are helping the needy to reach God. Who are we? Are we blocking (directly or indirectly) the needy from reaching God? or Are we helping the ‘needy’ to reach God to receive healing and blessings?

    Touching the Untouchable! Reflections on Garbo Sunday

    March 7, 2014 /

    The study of the Bible is absolutely necessary for the nourishment of Christian life. The facts which the Scriptures present are the basis of faith in the Trinitarian God. Acquaintance with these prophetic and devotional facts in the light of the contemporary world realities is the only sensible means to imbibe and disseminate a true dynamic Christian faith. The nourishment of the Scriptures is necessary to the spiritual life as that of food to the body. The following Bible study is based on the Gospel reading on the ‘Sunday of the Leper’ from St. Luke 5: 12-16; and St. Luke 4: 40-42. And it happened when He was in a…
