MESSAGE FROM JUSTIN ACHAN - FAST FROM INDIFFERENCE
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ Jesus,
Lent is a season of renewal for the whole Church, for each community and every believer. Pope Francis ask us to
reconsider the heart of fasting this Lenten season. According to Pope Francis, fasting must never become
superficial. He often quotes the early Christian mystic St. John Chrysostom who said: “No act of virtue can be great
if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much
you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.”
But this isn’t to downplay the role of sacrifice during the Lenten season. Lent is a good time for penance and self-
denial. But once again, Francis reminds us that these activities must truly enrich others: “I distrust a charity that
costs nothing and does not hurt.” So, if we’re going to fast from anything this Lent, Pope Francis suggests that we
fast from indifference towards others.
In his annual Lenten message, the pope writes, “Indifference to our neighbor and to God also represents a real
temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry
out and trouble our conscience.” Describing this phenomenon he calls the globalization of indifference, Pope
Francis writes that “whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no
longer room for others, no place for the poor. God’s voice is no longer heard, the quiet joy of his love is no longer
felt, and the desire to do good fades.” He continues that, “We end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the
outcry of the poor, weeping for other people’s pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were
someone else’s responsibility and not our own.”
But when we fast from this indifference, we can began to feast on love. In fact, Lent is the perfect time to learn how
to love again. Jesus—the great protagonist of this holy season—certainly showed us the way. In him, God descends
all the way down to bring everyone up. In his life and his ministry, no one is excluded.
“What are you giving up for Lent?” It’s a question a lot of people will get these next few days. If you want to
change your body, perhaps alcohol and candy is the way to go. But if you want to change your heart, a harder fast is
needed. This narrow road is gritty, but it isn’t sterile. It will make room in ourselves to experience a love that can
make us whole and set us free. Now that’s something worth fasting for.
To meditate: - “If one member suffers, all suffer together” [The Church] (1 Cor 12:26) “Where is your
brother?” [Parishes and Communities] (Gen 4:9) “Make your hearts firm!” [Individual Christians] (James 5:8)
- Justinachan
Our Vision is to create a vibrant Syro-Malabar community that nurtures spiritual growth, celebrates the sacraments, and fosters community ties and leadership

Many believers from all over United States, gathered in DC on January 22, 2016 for March for life event braving the
bad weather. Under the leadership of Jesus Youth, various young and adult from Syro-Malabar attended the march.
The 4Life conference, VIVO’16 event had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.
Brief History:
The March for Life is an annual pro-life rally protesting abortion, held in Washington, D.C., on or around the anni-
versary of the United States Supreme Court's decision legalizing abortion in the case Roe v. Wade. The march is or-
ganized by the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. The overall goal of the march is to overturn the Roe v.
Wade decision and reduce access to the procedure.
The first March for Life, which was founded by Nellie Gray, was held on January 22, 1974, on the West Steps of the
Capitol, with an estimated 20,000 supporters in attendance.
The March for Life proceedings begin around noon. They typically consist of a rally at the National Mall near Fourth
Street. It is followed by a march which travels down Constitution Avenue NW, turns right at First Street and then
ends on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States, where another rally is held. Many protesters start the day
by delivering roses and lobbying members of Congress.

SEEK HIS KINGDOM Series
The Mysteries of Jesus’ Infancy and Hidden Life (From CCC)
Concerning Jesus’ life the creed speaks about his the mysteries of Incarnation (conception and
birth) and Paschal mystery (passion, crucifixion, death, burial, descent into hell, resurrection, and
ascension). Nothing specifically about the mysteries of his hidden life or the public life. Normally
people like us are very curious to know about the early life of Jesus.
Where was Jesus, before he started his public ministry? People makes up so many stories related to the topic. Why
Gospel fails to mention details of His early life? The Gospels were written by men who were among the first to have
faith and wanted to share it with others. Having known Jesus in faith, they could see and make others see the traces
of his mystery in all his earthly life. His humanity appeared as “sacrament,” that is, the sign and instrument, of his
divinity and of the salvation he brings: what was visible in his earthly life leads to the invisible mystery of his divine
sonship and redemptive mission.
Christ’s whole life is a mystery of redemption. Redemption comes to us above all through the blood of his cross, but
this mystery is at work throughout Christ’s entire life. Christ’s whole life is a mystery of recapitulation. All Jesus did,
said, and suffered had for its aim restoring fallen man to his original vocation.
Christ enables us to live in him all that he himself lived, and he lives it in us. “By his Incarnation, he, the Son of God,
has in a certain way united himself with each man. We are called only to become one with him, for he enables us as
the members of his Body to share in what he lived for us in his flesh as our model.
We must continue to accomplish in ourselves the stages of Jesus’ life and his mysteries and often beg him to per-
fect and realize them in us and in his whole Church.
The coming of God’s Son to earth is an event of such immensity that God willed to prepare for it over centuries. He
makes everything converge on Christ: all the rituals and sacrifices, figures and symbols of the “First Covenant.” Je-
sus was born in a humble stable, into a poor family. Simple shepherds were the first witnesses to this event. In this
poverty heaven’s glory was made manifest. To become a child in relation to God is the condition for entering the
kingdom. For this, we must humble ourselves and become little. Only when Christ is formed in us will the mystery of
Christmas be fulfilled in us.
Jesus’ circumcision, on the eighth day after his birth, is the sign of his incorporation into Abraham’s descendants,
into the people of the covenant. It is the sign of his submission to the Law and his deputation to Israel’s worship, in
which he will participate throughout his life. The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of
God and Savior of the world. The presentation of Jesus in the temple shows him to be the firstborn Son who be-
longs to the Lord. The flight into Egypt and the massacre of the innocents make manifest the opposition of darkness
to the light.
During the greater part of his life Jesus spent the day without evident greatness, but with manual labor. With obedi-ence to his mother and legal father he fulfills the fourth commandment perfectly and was the temporal image of his filial obedience to his Father in heaven. The hidden life at Nazareth allows everyone to enter into fellowship with Je-sus by the most ordinary events of daily life.

SAINTS CORNER
Saint Juan Diego (1474-1548), a native of Mexico is the first Roman
catholic indigenous saint from the Americas. St. Juan lived a simple life
as a weaver, farmer, and laborer. One morning, while on his way for Holy
Mass, Mother Mary appeared before Juan and asked Juan to tell the bish-
op to build a church on that site. The bishop was kind but skeptical. He
asked Juan to bring proof of the Lady's identity. Before Juan could go
back to the Lady, he found out his uncle was dying. Hurrying to get a
priest, Juan missed his meeting with the Lady. The Lady, however, met
him on his path and told him that his uncle had been cured. She then told
Juan to climb to the top of the hill where they first met. Juan was shocked
to find flowers growing in the frozen soil. He gathered them in his cloak
and took them at once to the bishop. Juan told the bishop what had hap-
pened and opened his cloak. The flowers that fell to the ground were Cas-
tilian roses (which were not grown in Mexico). But the bishop's eyes were
on the glowing image of the Lady imprinted inside Juan's cloak. Soon
after, a church was built on the site where our Lady appeared, and thou-
sands converted to Christianity. Our Lady of Guadalupe was declared the
patroness of the Americas. Juan Diego deeply loved the Holy Eucharist,
and by special permission of the Bishop he received Holy Communion
three times a week, a highly unusual occurrence in those times.
St. Juan died on May 30, 1548, at the age of 74.
