A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart!
My dearest people, as we are in the grip of fear because of the fast spreading coronavirus pandemic in the different parts of the of the world. Let us rely on the power of God. Let us turn our hearts and call out to him that He may calm down the storms of fear and desperation. He is God who created the whole world. He is the one who created you and me. May He take authority over this present chaotic and confused situation.
Let us rely on the word of God
“Be strong and courageous. Do no fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
—Dt 31-6 and
1 Peter 5:7
“cast all your cares on God, for he takes care of you”.
Let us pray for those who are affected by this pandemic virus and for all those who are dear to them. Let us hear heaven along with the word of the disciples saying, “Lord save us! We are perishing!” let us also welcome Jesus with the same words of the apostles who thought that their life was over after the death of Jesus who was walking with them in their pain and suffering
Stay with us, for it is nearly evening: the day is almost over.”
— Luke 24:29
Let us welcome him to stay at home in your personal and family prayers.
I know it’s time where we do not have the opportunity to worship Him as a community. Let us worship him at the little church at home.
“From house to house, they came together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praisng God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved”. — Acts 2: 46-47.
Let the life of the first Christians be an example to follow now. Let these words come true. Let us go on our knees before the Lord at home.
“Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.”
— Heb 10:23.
I do miss you all. Please remember I am praying for you all. Let me take the privlege to take you all to the Eucharistic Lord in my daily Mass that I celebrate. You are fondly remembered and prayed for.
Please be assured of my prayers.
With lots of love and blessing.
Please stay Safe and healthy!
Ever at your service.
—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan
