Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings!
By the time it reaches you most of the vacationers might have left for the homeland.
I pray that they all get a very rejuvenating experience in the greenery of our God’s
own land. Scorching heat of the summer and frequent power supply failure has
already made life tiring. Church attendance might get diminished. God may help
all to withstand the crisis. This time I am glad to talk about a very recurrent prayer of
our liturgy.
Kyrie Eleison is prayer frequently used in our liturgy. Though we know its literal
meaning, how far we’ve gone in its soul? St. Symeon of Thessaloniki writes about
the Kyrie Eleison prayer: “ ‘Have mercy upon us, O God, according to your great
mercy, we beseech you ... ‘ This expression is appropriate, since we should not ask
for anything except for mercy, as we have neither boldness nor access to offer
anything as our own ...So as sinners and condemned through sin we cannot, nor
dare not, say anything to our Loving Master except ‘have mercy’.
“The word mercy in English is the translation of the Greek word ‘eleos’. This word
has the same ultimate root as the old Greek word for oil, or more precisely, olive
oil; a substance which was used extensively as a soothing agent for bruises and
minor wounds. The oil was poured onto the wound and gently massaged in, thus
soothing, comforting and making whole the injured part. The Hebrew word which is
also translated as eleos and mercy is ‘hesed’, and means steadfast love. The Greek
words for ‘Lord, have mercy,’ are ‘Kyrie, eleison’ that is to say, ‘Lord, soothe me,
comfort me, take away my pain, show me your steadfast love.’ Thus mercy does
not refer so much to justice or acquittal a very Western interpretation but to the
infinite loving-kindness of God, and his compassion for his suffering children! It is in
this sense that we pray ‘Lord, have mercy,’ with great frequency throughout the
Divine Liturgy.”
By its theological richness, spiritual significance, and variety, the worship of the Mar
Thoma church represents one of the most significant factors in the church’s continuity
and identity. Let’s proudly uphold our great traditions of worship.
May God Bless you all.
With love and prayers
Genil Abraham Achen Assistant Vicar.

Rev. K. S. Mathew (Present Sabha secretary) and Rev. K. M. Mammen, Vicar, St. Thomas M.T.C Kozhencherry (Ex. Sabha secretary) are appointed as new Vicar General by the Episcopal Synod and Sabha Council.

Dear Parishioners,
“ Needs Sincere Participation Not Mere Co-operation”
I am very glad to address you all after the first Kaisthana Samithi Meeting for the year 2010 – ‘11. At present the Parish has a very creative Committee and more than 50% of its members are new comers. The suggestions and the creative inputs of the Committee members matters a lot for the smooth functioning of the Parish and also will be an added inspiration to the Achens and Office Bearers of the Parish. Being the first programme of the current year, our Prayer Group leaders (Vice Presidents & Secretaries), Parish Organizations Office Bearers, Mandalam – Assembly Members with the Office Bearers of the Parish and Achens met on 13th June 2010 at 7:00 p.m. and had a very fruitful session. The participants were divided into three groups and discussed about their expectations about our Parish and elicited guidelines for the smooth functioning of the Parish as well as for more interaction with our Parish members. Achens and Office Bearers have decided to implement two of the suggestions of the meeting with immediate effect. (1) To publish in the newsletter, the names of the Prayer Groups which will be assisting in the Church services. (2) All the Kaisthana Samithi Members from the Prayer Groups shall be requested to brief the decisions of the Committee meetings in the very next Area Prayer Meeting. Parish Secretary is asked to inform the Prayer Group Secretaries as well as the Kaisthana Samithi Members about the important decisions of the Committee, for the authenticity of the decisions to be conveyed in the Prayer Meeting.
The first Kaisthana Samithi meeting decided to publish a new Parish Directory this year and nominated Adv. P. John Thomas as the Convener, Mr. Sam K. Abraham and Mr. Mathew Eapen as the Joint Conveners, subject to the approval of the General Body.
Our Parish Retreat will be held on Friday, 25th June 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at NECK Church and Parish Hall. Please come, attend and get blessed. Once again, I request the sincere participation of our members in all the programme of the Parish. May God Almighty bless us all.
With prayerful regards
