The New Year Eucharist by Fr. Raffaele

Pope Francis in his message said that those who serve with Love and concern can build up Peace and bring about joy and happiness in the lives of the others. God the Father has shown his love in His son Jesus....who became our servant serving us with Love and dying on the cross so that we may receive all the graces which the Father has in store for us.....

There can be peace as long as there is a dialogue and collaboration...Peace will last long when both the parties believe and have faith in each other......our children need to be taught to build society on the foundation of peace which Jesus brought into the world....they have to wear the armour of love and peace.....the harm that people of no peace doing to the world is enormous .....last night the ugly face of terrorism has surfaced again in Turkey.....killling many innocent people....let us dialogue and sit across the table....there is an answer and solution to all the problems in listening to one another......

Today is the first day of the new year....a day to exchange the best wishes of love peace and joy and to remain exchanging through out the world.....there is no stop in this exchange.....let us ask god to shine on us and to iullimnate our lives with his light and presence,....may his serenity and joy always dwell in our lives always.....


The Mother of God, being obedient to the will of God has given us the light of the world who became flesh for our sake.....she is the best person to invoke in all situations of today's world troubled by war and terrorism......


Fr. Raffaele led all of us to reflect on the person of Mother Mary and invited all of us to walk with her in obedience and love

He said that three things shine out in Mother Mary's life.....received vocation, began the walk of faith and then went on to do the Mission of the Lord...
