May the good God shower His blessings upon him through the intercession of St. Augustine so that he may fulfill the mission entrusted to him. Prayerful Festal Greetings to our beloved Vicar REV. FR. AUGUSTINE PALACKAPARAMPIL Early life: Marth Euphrasia Eluvathingal also called Saint Euphrasia Eluvathingal baptized as Rosa Eluvathingal (October 17, 1877 – August 29, 1952) was an Indian Carmelite nun of the Syro- Malabar Church which is an Eastern Catholic Church and a part of the Saint Thomas Christian community in Kerala. She was canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis on November 23, 2014 in Vatican City She was born Rosa Eluvathingal on October 17, 1877 in a Syro- Malabar Catholic Nasrani family in Kattoor, Thrissur in Kerala. Rosa was the eldest child of wealthy landowner Cherpukaran Antony and his wife Kunjethy. She was baptized on October 25, 1877 in Mother of Carmel Church in Edathuruthy. Her mother was a devout Syrian Catholic, who taught her how to pray the rosary and to participate in the Mass. At the age of nine, Rosa is said to have experienced an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which led her to make a commitment never to marry, and to commit her entire life to God. When she was ten, she entered the boarding school attached to the first indigenous Carmelite community in the Syro-Malabar Church, founded by Saints Kuriakose Elias Chavara and Leopold Beccaro in 1866 at Koonammavu in Ernakulam District. As she grew older, Rosa wished to enter the Sisters of the Mother of Carmel, who follow the Rule of the Third Order of the Discalced Carmelites. Her father opposed this, as he wanted to arrange a marriage for her with the son of another prosperous family in the region. Seeing her resolve, her father eventually relented and personally accompanied her to the convent. Religious Life: In 1897, Mar John Menachery, the first native Bishop of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Thrissur, established a Carmelite Convent in Ambazakad (now belonging to the Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Irinjalakuda). On May 9, he brought all five inmates from Koonammavu who belonged to his diocese. The next day Rosa was received as a postulant, taking the name Sister Euphrasia of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and was admitted to the novitiate of the congregation on January 10, 1898. Her constant poor health, however, threatened her stay in the convent, as the superiors considered dismissing her. Despite these duties, she endeavored to lead a life of constant prayer and of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, becoming known to many people as the Praying Mother.[6] Mother Euphrasia spent much of her day in the convent chapel before the Blessed Sacrament, to which she had a strong devotion. She also nourished a great love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mother Euphrasia died on August 29, 1952 at St. Mary's Convent, Ollur. Her tomb has become a pilgrimage site as miracles have been reported by some of the faithful. Euphrasia is said to have had a vision of the Holy Family, at which point the illness she had long felt ceased. Euphrasia made her solemn profession on 24 May 1900, during the blessing of the newly founded St. Mary's Convent, Ollur at Ollur or Chinna Roma. After she took her perpetual vows, she was appointed assistant to the Novice Mistress. Though frail in health, Euphrasia exhibited rare moral courage and a very high sense of responsibility, and in 1904 she was subsequently appointed Novice Mistress of the congregation. She held this position for nine years until 1913, when she was made Mother Superior of St. Mary's Convent, Ollur, where she was to live the rest of her life, serving as Mother Superior until 1916. Miracles: The first reported miracle was curing a carpenter, Thomas Tharakan from Anchery in Ollur, a furniture polishing worker from bone cancer., Thomas was admitted to the hospital for one week. Later before the surgery, a scan by the doctor showed no sign of tumour, despite an earlier scan report showing clear evidence of a tumour. Thomas' sister Rosy later acknowledged that cure was the result of her prayer to Sister Euphrasia. The second reported miracle happened to a 7-year-old child named Jewel from Aloor in Thrissur District. The child had a tumour in his neck which made it difficult for him to swallow any food. Doctors at Dhanya Hospital in Potta, Thrissur District had said that this disease was incurable. As Jewel's family came from a financially poor background, their only option was to pray for divine intercession. After his grandmother prayed to Sister Euphrasia, doctors noticed that his tumour began to shrink. Dr Sasikumar of Dhanya Hospital examined him once again and found the tumour to have disappeared.

Prayerful Festal Greetings to our beloved Vicar

REV. FR. AUGUSTINE PALACKAPARAMPIL

Early life: Marth Euphrasia Eluvathingal also called Saint Euphrasia Eluvathingal baptized as Rosa Eluvathingal (October 17, 1877 – August 29, 1952) was an Indian Carmelite nun of the Syro-Malabar Church which is an Eastern Catholic Church and a part of the Saint Thomas Christian community in Kerala. She was canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis on November 23, 2014 in Vatican City

Mother Teresa is famous today as the saint of Calcutta, saint of the gutters, saint of the poor, etc. She challenged our world to do more for the poor, the last, least and the lost by her life of generous dedication to the poor and the dying on the streets of Calcutta as well as other parts of India and the world. She was a true disciple of Christ, the compassionate good Samaritan. I had the privilege of knowing er for more than 16 years quite closely. Some of my memories are without exact dates. It was in 1982 at our seminary in Dimapur, Nagaland that I first met Mother, then later that year with my mother and my newly ordained priest brother Fr. Antony TOR, at the mother house in Calcutta. After that I met her many times during Mass, and through my ministry I grew close to her and also sent her many vocations from the tribal communities that I served.

Once I accompanied Mother to Nirmal Hri-day, the Home of the Pure Heart ... the home for the dying. This was the first place near Kalighat temple in Calcutta, which was gifted to her by the Hindus, where she began car-ing for the sick and the dying brought from the streets. As we walked through and visited the seriously ill and dying inmates, some of them without limbs and some with gaping gangre-nous wounds, I witnessed the great joy on the faces of each of the inmates as they looked at Mother. As they beamed a smile even in their

pain, she too would smile and put her hands around them. She would bend close to each of them and talk consolingly, touching them and hugging or kissing them with great reverence...as though she was kissing Jesus himself. Mother would say a word of Encouragement to each of the nuns and the volunteers helping there. All the sisters, along with the volunteers, were cleaning and dressing the wounds while attending to their different needs. As we walked through meeting each of them, now and then she would hold on to my hand and would speak to me explaining how she began this work and how much more needed to be done. She said there were so many less fortunate ones who needed care and were in dire need. She and her nuns were trying to do their best to help those people to die with dignity. I was then a very young priest and I thought of myself as quite brave and courageous to touch some of those people who were just brought in from the streets by the nuns and volunteers, dirty and some with gaping or oozing wounds. But when I saw how Mother Teresa would hold them and hug them, I realized that my courage was no match for her grace and transforming touch of Christ-like love and compassion.

It was a great joy and privilege for me to celebrate the Holy Mass on May 3, 1997 at the Mother house in Calcutta with Mother Teresa, her nuns, novices and the many volunteers. That was the last day I met her, and it was that same night she fell and broke her hip, which caused her to be confined to a wheel chair till her death on 5th September, 1997. I had taken a Bengali seminarian who wanted to meet her with me and some of the pictures I have were taken by him. It was her simplicity and humility and her great love for Jesus along with her ex-traordinary compassion for the suffering humanity that made her the most powerful and visible symbol of Christianity in our times. This great saint has inspired us all with her life of generosity, simplicity and charity. Her Christ-like compassion and love for the poor should inspire all of us to live serving others in little ways each day. As she often said “ God has not called us o do great things but little things with great love”.

that there was no medical basis for this event.Canonization/Servant of God: On September 27, 1986 the process of canonization began in Ollur. On

August 13, 1987 Father Lucas Vithuvatikal, CMI was appointed as Postulator. He made the oath as Postulator in the presence of Mar Joseph Kundukulam, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Thrissur on August 29, 1987 and Mother Euphrasia was declared a 'Servant of God' on the same day.

Venerable: Sister Perigrin was appointed as Vice-Postulator on September 9, 1987 and in 1988, a Diocesan Tribunal for the Cause of Euphrasia was established by Mar Joseph Kundukulam. The Diocesan Tribunal for the apostolic miracle was established on January 8, 1989, which was officially closed by Mar Joseph Kundukulam on June 19, 1991. On January 30, 1990 the tomb of Mother Euphrasia was opened and her mortal remains were transferred to a newly built tomb inside the chapel of St. Mary's Convent, Ollur. Her case was submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Rome on April 20, 1994, and on July 5, 2002 Pope John Paul II declared her 'Venerable'.

Blessed: She was beatified in St. Anthony's Forane Church, Ollur, Thrissur, with the declaration of the Major Archbishop, Varkey Vithayathil, on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI. Apostolic Nuncio to India Arch bishopPedro López Quintana and Archbishop Jacob Thoomkuzhy of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Thrissur joined 30 prelates and 500 priests for the beatification events.

Saint: On April 3, 2014, Pope Francis authorised the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to promulgate the decrees concerning the miracle attributed to Euphrasia's intercession. This confirmed the Pope's approval of Euphrasia's canonisation. At a special mass held at St Peter's Square at Vatican City on November 23, 2014, Pope Francis canonised Mother Euphrasia as a saint. Mother Sancta, Mother General of Congregation of the Mother of Carmel (CMC), carried the relics of Mother Euphrasia to the holy altar.
