As we have begun the year of faith today, it is call for us to
renew and relish the faith we have received. As I thank the Lord for the faith
I have received today I also ask the grace that I may grow in my faith. Today
as I was celebrating the Eucharist on the inauguration of the year of faith, I
shared that even coming to this parish and taking up this challenge needed much
will power, cooperation of people and trust or faith in God. Number does not
matter and deepening of faith matters. The providence of God I experience in
this new area is marvelous. I believe in surrendering to the Lord and the Lord
works through our hands. Faith is called Shraddha in Sanskrit and when we split
the word we get the inner meaning i.e. Shrad – Truth & dha – Surrender. It
is to say when one knows the truth one surrenders to that truth and
surrendering helps us to grow and find meaning in life. I pray that we may
surrender to the promptings of the spirit and have abundant life in God. (11th
