Live and Practice Faith in Jesus Come What may!!!!!!!

The media is full of stories about the Church and her clergy...for those who have abused their power and authority...abuse of minors etc...is it the end of everything or we still have opportunities to rectify and gain the faith and confidence of our faithful...we do not have to be in denial mood but accept the responsibility and go ahead in living and practicing our Faith in Jesus Christ who is ever new and appealing to us....we need to question ourselves why all this happened? Is It because we failed to live up to the expectations of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus? Is it not that we got drunk with power and authority that we forgot the good news and its demands on us. We forgot to live the life of Jesus in our own context and situation...we believed in ourselves too much...we heard our own voices than that of the Master Lord Jesus...
 Every negative situation in the society and Church gives an opportunity to live better....the church now hopes that we all together live and practice our faith more strongly and actively, vibrantly that we are able to erase the wrongs with out strong witnessed Life....
It falls on each one of us to communicate Jesus through our lives....it is Jesus who is waiting to come out of ourselves into the darkened society.....can we allow the Savior to be seen and heard, experienced by all once again...can our ministry and apostolates be vibrant and life giving?
We have a golden chance in these moments of darkness where the Church is giving us a clarion call to live our personal vocation...to have a deep communion with Jesus and to speak of Him in our own situation...to love Him in all the ways....respecting and adorning Him in poor, small and big, ...

 He is calling to flow like water to places where there is dryness and where there is thirst for Him...can we change the life of those affected by our sins and abuse of power?
 Let the light of Jesus shine ever brightly through our word, actions and deeds....Let us not go into negative mode...keep those who have wronged and who were victims of this big wrong....It is time to reform ourselves, society, church and above all our way of Being as chosen...
 Let us stand tall with grace of Jesus...let everyone sees us faithful and obedient to Him...Let the whole world once again hear the name of Jesus being proclaimed....
The Narrow gates are always there...we need to go through...they bring us to a place which cannot be taken away....the Lord awaits for us to welcome and shower His blessings....let us be prepared to go through the Narrow gate...
