A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are all close to my heart!
Lots of love, blessings, and prayers to you all.

Thank You!

Thank You for the Birthday Wishes

Let me take this wonderful opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my birthday so special! Thank you for your birthday wishes, gifts, and prayers. You always make me feel so special. Birthday cake, balloons, cards, currencies, and calories what a joy! Thank you again.

Thank You for your Prayers for My Mother

Thank you again for your prayers and support for my mother. She is still under medication. The doctors are not sure, what’s wrong with her. They are trying to eliminate one after the other, but they are not able to understand what the problem is. Please continue to pray for her, I am of the belief that prayers can do wonders. Let us lift our hearts to the Lord. Our kneeling will make my stand. Please continue to pray for her.

She is one of the finest people in my life. I am saying this not just because she is my mother. All mothers are great! A mother’s love cannot be replaced. My mother was a widow since her thirties. I have noticed how she brought forth all of us, into then a male-dominated culture. A strong woman, pious, straightforward, self-sacrificing, disciplined – above all – a God-fearing lady. Whatever good that you find in her I would say that she bestowed it to me.

Bringing up five boys and a girl, as you know, it’s not an easy task. Her commitment and focus were on the children. She always took great care of us surrendering her whole life to God. I cannot bear to see her suffer like this. She had carried enough and now more crosses in her life. I cannot see her again partaking in the suffering of Christ.

Please Continue Your Prayers

Please do assist her with your prayers. I thank all of you who are praying for her. Thank you for your support and concern at this difficult time for me and my family.

God bless you all.

With lots of love and blessing.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service.

—Fr. Sahayanathan Nathan

It’s election mode time. Everything we say and do will be perceived with a political outlook. But at the same time as the Church, we need to be the voice of Christ. Mother Teresa on the “Great Destroyer of Peace – Abortion. The passage below is the voice of Mother Teresa at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on February 5, 1994. I believe her wisdom and concerns are so relevant today. Here you go.

On October 1, Catholics around the world honor the life of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her feast day. St. Thérèse was born January 2, 1873 in Alençon, France to pious parents, both of whom are scheduled to be canonized in October 2016. Her mother died when she was four, leaving her father and elder sisters to raise her.
