Happy Birthday

And have all the blessings

Of the day, if you believe in it!

Mothers are indeed our

First and best blessing!

          One can’t rightly think of

          One’s birthday without

          Ever thinking of one’s mother!

You must also be

Having a mother

Whom you may not

Like to think of, or

Rather her thoughts

Prick you, may be…

          She can’t but

          Think of her children,

          Even when they don’t.

          That is a mother!

          A truth beyond grasp!

A mother won’t

Rather can’t curse

Her children even when

They hurt her beyond limit!

That again is a mother!

          Even when mothers forgive

          Every possible onslaught,

          Gods may not,

          Because mothers are

          Gods personified, if not beyond…

Procrastinate not to

Reconcile with her

Before ever losing

That chance to shed

Your tears on her bosom,

And be washed of

All possible stains and

Be worthy of her blessings!

To remain ever blessed!

Happy Birthday!

We miss you, Aiyya, a lot these days...

Generations apart!

After laying down the Ministry of Education...

It was on 24th May 2009, i was asked to serve the Ministry of Education of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum and R. C. Schools of the same diocese. After almost three year, laid down both the responsibilities as the authority was not responsibly responding to the needs of the Ministry in the diocese. They seem to expect one to beg for every need by not letting one to know what the allocation for that particular ministry is! Thus on 4th February 2012, laid down office.

Simultaneously requested in person for retirement and also gave the same in writing. But the bishop requested to carry on in active ministry. So, i asked him to relieve me from Thycaud parish. Again he asked me to continue till the transfers! As i insisted to leave Vellayambalam, he arranged residence for me at the Priests' Home, Kumarapuram. [to be continued...]

Eat Fruits, better on an empty stomach...

Eating Fruit on an empty stomach Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains: before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below. Letter to original email writer: Dear Shereen, Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments. Thanks and God bless. Dr Stephen Mak

EATING FRUIT... 

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how andwhen to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits? 

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON ANEMPTY STOMACH. 
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. 

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining [WINDOWS-1252?]— every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc [WINDOWS-1252?]— actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! 

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only freshfruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! 

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke. 

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. 

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer. 

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene [WINDOWS-1252?]— the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. 

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. 

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive. 

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

Cami is approaching bridal chamber...!

It is now the turn of the 'eldest' of the twins, Camitha Rani to wait for the wedding bells to chime... The groom is indeed God-chosen, i think. After the overwhelming enthusiasm of both the sides, especially of the groom's, the man, Dany, has come down for just a day's leave only to see one another and make the 'go ahead' signal for all of us to carry on with the preparations already on its wings. It was a short and sweet meeting with only the parents and their siblings only. God willing, the event will take place on Wednesday, 28th December at Lourdes Forane Church, PMG, Thiruvananthapuram. Let us pray for God's blessings on the engaged.

Good sense is there still and prevail it will certainly...

Yes, at last good sense prevailed, though through the mediation of Rome!

Fr. Labrin was a lone fighter against the unjust, unholy activities of those who have to be its custodians! Unfortunately the church in the garb of 'mighty' epicopacy tried to silence him in vain, instead of encouraging him! When that could not succeed it took recourse to punitive measures ending up in his suspension!

And now, Rome seemed to have advised the authority in the diocese to try dialogue and conciliation after rescinding the suspension. That was how his suspension is known to have been lifted. May this be a lesson to all concerned not to put down genuine demands for justice, accountability, transparency and the like and never ever try to go the punitive way which never was Jesus' way.

Let Fr. Labrin and those like him be more generous to take everyone along and together try to overcome the powers of evil so as realize the Reign of God which is among us already. May good sense dawn and Love reign...
