A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are close to my heart!

I hope and pray that you are staying healthy and good.  I do pray for you all, and I do miss seeing you at church.  Please be assured of my prayers for you.

Saturday I had a little free time hence, I was praying the rosary walking around the church. I saw a lady probably more than in her seventies, with white pants and a blue T-shirt and sunglasses who had a garbage bag in her hand taking up the trashes around the church as well.

I was thinking to myself, the whole world is now trying to confine their lives within their homes to safeguard themselves from this nasty virus, which is quite understandable.  But she had gloves and a garbage bag on her hand, relatively and positively attending the needs of the world.  Wow – what a positive attitude!  May God bless her.  I was very much impressed by her gesture and attitude.  May God bless her.

As we know we are going into Holy Week, where the Holy Mother Church bestows the opportunity to celebrate the mystery of our faith which is the core of our faith.  I believe for the first time, we have such extraordinary circumstances that we are not really able to celebrate the mystery as the community.  Let us pray that our Savior Jesus Christ we redeem our people from all the bondage of sin and sickness and lead to normalcy and to peace.

May God Bless You All.
Please Stay Safe and healthy!
Ever at your service.

 

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

Loneliness can pave the way for many wonderful things. Think of loneliness as a gift and use it wisely. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. – Psalm 16:20

Prayerful greetings to you. We celebrate the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15th. Since it falls on Saturday this year, it is NOT a holy day of obligation, or else it is. The Feast of The Assumption is one of the most important feasts of our Lady.
