Vicars Message
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Wishing you a happy and peaceful year. A year has passed away, but we have welcomed a new year. God wants to give us many blessings in the New Year. God has prepared countless graces, gifts, and blessings for those who love Him.Let us receive these graces together with God and the church. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, God reminds us that He is the God of new beginnings. He is the God who makes everything new. He is a God who brings light to darkness, hope to despair, and life to death. The Word of God reminds us that God's mercy is new every morning. "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness".(Lementations 3:22,23).As we enter the New Year with God's infinite grace, the Lord, who has been our guardian on all the paths we have taken, will also be our guide in the days to come."Commit your way to the Lord; trust in
him, and he will act"(Psalm 37:5).As this verse reminds us, let us move forward this year in the hope that Christ gives us, entrusting all our plans to God. May God bless you and your family with His love throughout this year.
As we enter a new year by God’s great grace,we are under His care. "I hearby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed,for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."(Joshua 1:9).God wants us to trust in His goodness and love even in the midst of uncertainty and challenges. He is with us and will never abandon us. " I am with you always, to the end of the age".(Mathew 28:20).May God’s presence be with you wherever you go this year. May the Lord help you to move forward with confidence, without fear
The New Year is a gift from God. May He fill us with His abundance and may His goodness and mercy be with us throughout this year.The old has passed away and all things have become new. May great achievements according to God's will happen in our lives this year. "The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns, and in all that you under take;he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."(Deuteronomy 28:8)Let us leave behind the past failures and sorrows and move forward in the hope that Christ gives."The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and give you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace."(Numbers 6:24-26).
God blessed us last year through St. Thomas Mar Thoma Parish. God enabled us to do many ministries in connection with the church.All these were not works that we did to gain the respect of the people, but were means for the glory of God to be revealed through us. May every moment of our lives be transformed into
one of experiencing the joy of God. May we always seek the presence of God by spending time in prayer, worship, and reading the Word of God. God will bless you abundantly.
With prayers,
