Dear Bothers & Sisters,

I express my hearty thanks for your prayers, wishes and sending birthday cards on my Birthday. I am so much delighted and strengthened by your great gestures. I am so grateful to you all.

Dear people of God,

Happy Father’s Day to all who are fathers or grandfathers or stepfathers! Five weeks ago, we observed Mother’s Day and offered Mass for our moms. Today, on this Father’s Day, we are doing the same – offering our dads, living or dead, on the altar of God during this Holy Mass and invoking our Heavenly Father’s blessings on them.

Dear People of God

Good morning. Hope everyone is keeping fine. Back in India, the temperature now is 102 but it feels like 114. It is very hot and dry. I miss very much our American weather. Here all my family members are doing well. I am very eagerly waiting to see you soon.

Dear People of God,

Good morning to you. Today is Pentecost Sunday. We have a great reason to celebrate, and to exchange good wishes because today is the birthday of the Holy Mother Church. Easter is the feast of the light, of the new life that begins with Christ’s resurrection. Pentecost is the celebration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It marks the beginning of the new covenant, and the birth of the public life of the church.
