Dear People of God,

Praise the Lord! On this twenty sixth Sunday, all the readings point to the final end of the unjust, the triumph and comfort of the poor and just.

In the first reading, the prophet Amos continues his treaty against the rich and influential of the society who oppress the weak and the poor. He pronounces God’s judgment on those who derive their joy and comfort from the miseries of the poor and the weak. This comfort will soon disappear as snow disappears,

Dear People of God,

Praised be Jesus Christ! On this 25th Sunday, the readings call us to reflect on our attitude towards money, material things and our relationship with the poor and marginalized. If there is anything that has perpetuated poverty all over the world, it is injustice and inequality in the social class. Hence, Amos in today’s first reading decries the injustices meted out against the poor of the land.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. The Lord our God is God of Love, Mercy and Forgiveness. This is the theme of this Sunday. In the first reading of today, we discover a God who is faithful to his vows. He also demonstrated that his love and mercy surpass his anger and judgement. As a merciful and compassionate father, God heard the prayers of Moses on behalf of his people and relented in the punishment he had intended to inflict on His People.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this twenty third Sunday of ordinary time, we are called to meditate about the spirit of commitment and self sacrifice of Christ. It was this spirit that made Jesus give up everything, including his own life for our sake. In today’s gospel, Jesus teaches about the demands of discipleship. He says: “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:25). What does Christ mean by “hating”?

Dear people of God,

Sincerely, I thank all the members of Guilders’ group of Immaculate Conception who gave me a nice Quilt cloth on last Sunday. It was a great surprise and a very valuable one to me. On this twentieth Sunday, the liturgy of the Word of God encourages us to fight against evil by following the footsteps of Christ who came to bring “fire” upon the earth in order to purify, transform, and save us from the perils that afflict us.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. On this 19th Sunday, the Church, calls to mind our heritage as the elect and people of God. We worship an awesome and caring God. Therefore, we have the courage to look forward into a glorious future in the kingdom of our Father.

The first reading of today points out the quality of the covenant through which our citizenship as the people of God was established. This covenant is divine and firm. Therefore, we are admonished to be joyful and courageous because our citizenship is based on a solid foundation. This covenant enables us to share in the blessings and heritage of God our father.

Dear people of God,

Good morning to you all. First of all, I thank you all sincerely for your great support to my native catholic diocese of Vellore through the Mission Coop program.

On this eighteenth Sunday, we are called to focus our attention on the heavenly realities more than on the earthly shadows.

Dear People of God,

Joyful greetings from Fr Doss. Every year, the diocese of Lacrosse sends a missionary Priest to our parishes for mission appeal. This year our diocesan mission office director very. Rev Fr. Woodrow H. Pace has assigned our three parishes for my native diocese. So, I would like to share a few details about my native diocese back in India.

Dear People of God,

Good morning. The Liturgy of word of God of this Sunday reminds us the importance of hospitality. It is a Christian virtue and our duty towards others. They remind us of the need to pay attention to Christ our Guest

In the first reading, Abraham displayed his hospitality by receiving and welcoming strangers in his house. Fortunately for him, the strangers were messengers from God. Not only did he welcome them under his roof, he took extreme care of their material needs. He equally paid attention to their message and instruction. Hence, through his hospitality, he expressed his spirituality. For this, God decided to reward and bless his household. God promised Abraham a child. God wants us to be hospitable. we have to be good and hospitable, because it is right and just.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this fifteenth Sunday, we have the parable of the Good Samaritan in the gospel reading. It was in response to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” asked by a scholar of the law. Jesus told him to love his neighbor as himself. This is a classic parable because it clearly depicts the need to care for those who are in need. It should be noted that in the end, Jesus referred to the Samaritan who helped the robber’s victim as the neighbor. Thus, the one who help is being neighbor to the neighbor in need.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you all. On this fourteenth Sunday, the liturgy of word of God draws our attention to the need, and importance of peace in our world. In the first reading of today, God in his infinite goodness offers us peace: “Now towards her I send overflowing peace like a river.” When we allow this peace to flow into our hearts and guide our lives, we become fulfilled, satisfied, and our communities and entire world become a wonderful place. We are therefore called to be messengers, instruments, and agent of this peace. It must flow from, and through us to others.
