Dear Camy and Dany,
Congratulations!
You are blessed
to become parents now!
This is the first ever
blessing in the Bible:
“Be fruitful and multiply…”
In His great providence,
God has given men and women
a share in his creative power!
And now you two are made
instruments in this divine activity.
On this great day
let me quote for you
a great verse from
Kannadasan’s ‘Yesu Kaaviyam’:
“Aandoru pillai aayiram peralaam;
Yesuvai pola innoru pillai
Isanai kette ini pera vendum.”
Yes, let the child conceived
be the one God willed
for you and the world!
May God give you both
necessary grace to give birth
to a child like Jesus
who ‘increased in wisdom
and in stature, and
in favour with God and man.’
May you be praised
like the mother/father of Jesus:
‘Blessed is the womb that bore you…’
Be mindful of your great call
to become parents and live accordingly
to welcome God’s most precious gift
to you and to the world.
Hereafter let your thoughts
and even feelings be
as pure as possible.
Let no negative thoughts
even cross your mind.
Be positive and happy
so that the child may take
the world little more closer
to a better future.
Read good books,
listen good music
and see good films
and pictures as well
as eat good food,
sleep well and
certainly have enough
exercises, preferably work at home.
We are all praying for you both
and the sweet child to visit us all
in due time.
May God bless you both
and child conceived.
Expectantly,
maaman.
