The ruthless massacre on Easter in Sri Lanka has shocked the humanity across the globe.

While on the one side the world leaders are doing their best to promote peace, on the other side a minute minority recourses to ways and means of terror to annihilate that peace and sow havoc in the serene lives of many. “The faith is under fire” in such incidents and religion assumes the shadow of terrorism. It is saddening that this attack occurred during the celebration of Easter, the feast of peace. It is unfortunate that the explanation given as a retaliation to the attacks or accidents for Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand.

Our homage to the victims and our solidarity with the Church in Sri

Lanka. As Pope Francis stated in his condolence message on the occasion, “With the followers of all religions, and men and women of good will everywhere, we express horror at this unspeakable offence against the holy name of God and (I) pray that hearts hardened by hatred may yield to His will for peace and reconciliation among all his children.” Pope Francis continued, “At this time of

immense grief, may the faithful be confirmed in charity, consoling one another with the hope born of Easter and our unshakeable faith in Christ’s promises. “Conscious of the wound inflicted on the entire nation, I likewise pray that all Sri Lankans will be affirmed in their resolve to foster social harmony, justice and peace.

Terrorism is not an answer to the conflicts

of modern society, which sometimes are outcome spontaneous

developments. Conflicts should be resolved

through dialogue and negotiations.

Terrorism is not an answer to the conflicts of modern society, which sometimes are outcome spontaneous developments. Conflicts should be resolved through dialogue and negotiations. At the international level, our wise forefathers have invented the platform of United Nations Organization (UNO) and the regional level, national leaders have to assume the role of peace building and peace keeping. Especially in the milieu of Organizations with backing of religious perspectives, religious leaders and civil society as well as faith based organizations should come forward with an approach of peaceful settlement. Grievances should be settled through dialogue and reconciliation.

In order to tackle terrorism a programme of education, especially for the youth should be prepared. This subject, especially of fostering peace at national and international level should be included in the curriculum of the universities and wherever possible for high schools.

The classical distinction, and subsequent separation, between State and religion must be respected, as the saying goes, “To God what belongs

to Him and to Caesar what belongs to him” (Mark 12:17). When religion and related Groups take up the affairs of the state/politics or vice versa, world peace will be at stake. Fighting against terrorism is the obligation of the State not of religion.

Our sympathies to the survivors of the attack in Sri Lanka and our condolences to the victims. We deplore in highest terms this human massacre and wish all the best to the world leaders in their efforts to maintain peace against all odds.

Fighting against terrorism is the obligation of

the State not of religion.

SANTHOME MESSENGER

The most ghastly serial bomb blasts in Sri Lanka’s Churches and hotels on Easter Sunday have shocked the entire civilized society all over the world. We, the undersigned, condemn unequivocally these dastardly acts. The persons and the groups responsible for the serial blasts are anti-human, anti-civilization and anti-God. They are the incarnation of the most heinous forces on the earth. To associate them with any faith would be most sacrilegious to the faith itself. Therefore, the people of all faiths must disown and condemn such barbarous individuals and groups. It is our duty to expose them and banish them from civilized society.

(1) The terrorist attacks become all the more gruesome if launched under the gap of religion and holy mission. Besides causing great loss of innocent lives, peace and harmony is destroyed. It is the prime duty of all faith leaders to stand up and use all our resources and to cleanse society of this evil.

(2) Attacks on religious places and during religious festivals such as Easter are perpetrated with a design to cause a divide between people of various faiths and communities. Therefore, we feel it all the more necessary that we stand together with our Christian brothers everywhere and assure them that we share their sorrows and pains and express our solidarity with them.

(3) We appeal to the government and law-enforcement agencies all over the world to be more vigilant and take effective precautionary measures making it impossible for any terrorist groups to play havoc with the life and property of civil society anywhere.

(4) Sri Lanka being our closest neighbour, we are ready with an offer of help to enable the victims to get over the unprecedented crisis in their lives. We propose to depute a high level delegation of various faiths to Sri Lanka to explore the possibilities of cooperation and also to offer our sincere condolence to the bereaved families.

(5) We sincerely hope that media and peace-loving citizens of this country will extend their fullest cooperation for our endeavour against terrorism. We express our resolve to continue our struggle against terrorism and for global peace. We appeal to everyone irrespective of their religion, caste and creed to come forward to save humanity and to maintain social harmony and peace.

One of the most prominent Christian leaders who got involved in India’s independence movement in Mangalore was Joachim Ignatius Sebastian Alva. In 1930, Alva founded the Nationalist Christian Party with the aim of attracting the Christian community into the freedom struggle and in one of his meetings Jawaharlal Nehru was the main speaker. He was imprisoned twice by British Indian authorities on charges of sedition and his jail -mates included Vallabhbhai Patel, Morarji Desai and Jayaprakash Narayan. The Nationalist Christian Party was formed by Joachim Alva along with T.M. Guido and F.M. Pinto from Vasai and their main demand was complete Independence for India. Alva was jailed during the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1940 while Pinto suffered a two-year imprisonment during the Quit India Movement of 1942. After the independence, he became the Sheriff of Bombay in 1949 and was later a member of Loksabha from north Canara.

Tristão de Bragança Cunha, known as the ‘Father of Goan Nationalism’was originally from Chandor in Goa. After his education in Panjim, Pondicherry and Paris, he returned to Goa to organize Goan intelligentsia against the colonial rule of the Portuguese through his organization called Goa Congress Committee. Later he shifted his activities to Bombay and got his political party affiliated to the Indian National Congress. In 1946 when Ram Manohar Lohia addressed a mass gathering in Margao, setting in motion the Goa Liberation Movement Tristão de Bragança Cunha was one of the first whom the Portuguese authorities targeted. Bragança Cunha was arrested

by the Portuguese authorities and was kept in dark damp cell at Fort Aguada in Goa. Though he was a civilian, he was tried by a military tribunal, which sentenced him to eight years of imprisonment and deportation to Portugal. Though later he came back to Bombay in 1954 , he died three years before the liberation of Goa(1961).

In Kerala, the Syrian Christians were organized under the name of Nazrani Jathiaikya Samgham (Syrian National Union Association) by the Catholic priest Nidhirikkal Mani Kathanar , the parish priest of Kuravilangadu, and they were eventually drawn towards the freedom struggle in Kerala by Fr. Nidhirikkal through his mobilization endeavours for Malayali Memorial, which was a signatory campaign against the foreigners. Though Malayali Memorial was a petition signed and submitted to the ruler of Travancore by the members of Nair, Christian and Ezhava communities against the undue preference and employment of foreign Tamil Brahmins in Travancore, it ultimately turned out to be a move among the Syrian Christians against all groups of foreigners. They combined with it their clamour for indigenous Bishops for the community. As the move of Fr. Nidhirikkal for indigenization appeared to be also against the Europeans, the authorities reduced his parish church i.e, Kuravilangadu church, from the status of a ‘forane church’ to a ‘filial church’ in 1890s and kept it till his death under Muttuchira, which earlier was only a filial church under Kuravilangadu.

There was a stimulated sense of nationalism and sentiments of patriotism widely disseminated among the Syrian Christians, which they often

SANTHOME MESSENGER

used for cementing their arguments for indigenous Church leadership. The patriotic and nationalist sentiments and the desire for indigenization, which appeared to them to be two sides of the same phenomenon, were kept alive among them by secretly circulating among them the hand-written copies of Varthamanapusthakam written by Fr. Thomas Paremakkel in 1780s. Fr. Thomas Paremakkel from Kadanadu and Joseph Kariyattil from Alengadu went to Portugal and later Rome to apprise the authorities about the need to have Indian leaders at the top to handle their issues and problems better. As early as 1785 Fr. Thomas Paremakkel had argued in his travelogue Varthamanapusthakam and in his unpublished manuscript titled India for Indians that India should be ruled by Indians. “The Portuguese would never like to have an Italian ruler over them, and the Italians never would accept a Portuguese ruler, a German ruler would never be accepted by the French and a ruler from France would never be accepted by the Germans. Why it is that these countries accept rulers only from their nationals and why it is not permitted to happen in the case of India..? ” He further says “The Europeans take the hand of one to beat the other and take his hand to beat the first person. They make us fight among ourselves so that we may always remain subjugated to them …. They get the people of Malabar who form one flesh and one blood divided into different groups in such a way that nobody can ever rectify it.” These sharp words of Paremakkel, which they secretly read and circulated among themselves in their endeavours for clamouring for indigenous leadership , instilled among the Syrian Christians a deep sense of national consciousness and patriotism during this period, when they were increasingly taking part in the early struggles of freedom movements. Analyzing the sympathy and concern that the people of Veerapandianpattanam showed to Fr. Paremakkel and Fr. Kariyattil on their

way to Europe , he says that “they were sad not because they had known us, nor because we had done some good things to them; but because we all belong to one nationality; that is we are all Indians. It is this love for people of the same nationality that actually moved their hearts..”

Fr. Thomas Paremakkel proudly maintains that even though Indians were under foreign rule, there was a type of intimacy and emotional linkage that bound all the Indians together. The idea of nationalism that Fr. Thomas Paremakkel propounds at this time comprises the feelings which create unity among the diverse Indians and the special uniqueness and commonality that make every Indian an integral part of India. The love that one shows towards the people of the same nation , the concern and the movement of the heart that one experiences on seeing their suffering and helplessness are the ingredients of the rudimentary nationalism that Fr. Paremakkel had envisaged.

The places and Christian settlements where the manuscripts of Varthamanapusthakam of Fr. Paremakkel was secretly circulated and read, witnessed the greatest amount of mobilization of St. Thomas Christians for freedom struggles in Kerala keeping alive among them national consciousness and patriotic spirit. Such leaders like bishop Mar Louis Pazheparambil, the first bishop of Ernakulam, Chev. I.C.Chacko, a famous geologist and a prominent freedom fighter of Kerala, Parayil Tharakan, an agriculturist- cum- merchant magnate and Fr. Emmanuel Nidhirikkal, one of the key figures in Malayali Memorial grew up under the influence of Varthamanapusthakam and copies of its manuscripts were obtained from the family archives of many of these leaders who played considerable role in the last phase of nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century in mobilizing St. Thomas Christians on issues related to nationalism.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH"My Lord My God" a proclamation of faith in his saviour and redeemer. He taught his followers what he saw, heard, touched experienced from his Lord. The one who taught us about Christ, St. Thomas the father of believers. The Syro Malabar Church is as old as Christianity itself and follows traditions inherited and passes on from generation to generation. Migration was the life style of this Christian community, but

there was a conscious effort to safeguard and keep intact their rich tradition, culture and liturgy. That's how deep rooted and authentic our faith is in our Christ.Moving on to each one of us

We, a small community, cherished the dream of having our community in our own vicinity Kalkaji. This cherished dream was kept alive through charismatic priests and nuns who throughout these years have come and have gone leaving behind their spiritual

imprints and contributions.

BLESSING OF ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH, KALKAJI

May-June 2019 -13-

SANTHOME MESSENGER

(1993 - 2003) It began when Fr. Johney of St Paul's Congregation

started to celebrate the Holy Mass in Syro Malabar rite. That simple beginning complemented and regularized further when Fr. Sebastian Vadakkumpadan the then chaplain started visiting the area and celebrated holy mass on last Sundays of every month.

Fr. Sebastian Vadakkumpadan's noble initiative brought the community together. The liturgical gatherings became more profound and vigilant by 1995. Fr. Paul Madassery, Fr. Justin Puthussery and Fr. Martin Mampilly were the priests who served this community in those periods. Fr. Baiju Vadakkumchery was the first priest in charge of the centre followed by Fr. Francis Kavilapadan. With the passage of time, activities of this community became more regular and systematic especially when Fr. Jose Cholikkara took charge as our priest. A strong committee was formed with representatives from different areas by Fr. Jose's initiative that started regular liturgical services, including other celebrations like Feast of St. Thomas on Dhukhrana, Christmas carols and Holy Week in Syro Malabar rite. After Fr. Jose Cholikkkara Fr. Reji Tom SDB took charge and continued the mission of his predecessors with much more enthusiasm.

Our small group formed in 1993 moved far ahead by 2004. The vigour of the young youth, dedicated leadership and continuous efforts contributed to the growth of this community in faith. Beginning of a Glorious Era (2004 onwards)

On 1st August 2004, Fr. Tom Mullenchira was appointed as the priest in charge of this community. By the hard work of much graceful and efficient leadership of Fr. Tom, a mass centre was raised and named St Joseph’s Church on 15th June 2005 by His Grace Arch Bishop Vincent M Concessao and Fr. Tom Mullenchira was appointed as the parish Priest. Systematic and class wise catechism from class 1 to 11, area wise prayer meetings, liturgical celebrations feast of St. Joseph, all these took the parish community to new heights of spiritual life. Initially all religious

activities were held at Holy Spirit Church, Alaknanda. All the priests and parishioners of Holy Spirit Church were very helpful and rendered whole hearted co-operation and help.

The biggest support system was the dedicated service of CMC congregation as they were very helpful throughout all programmes and liturgical services. The unity and spiritual growth was made possible by the altruistic service of Mother Superior and all others Sisters of Maria Nivas Convent. The sisters have done memorable service to this parish and we can never thank them enough for the same.

After a good start Fr. Tom Mullenchira was transferred to Janakpuri parish and Fr. Shajan Puthenpura took the charge as Vicar. Fr.Shajan's tenure was the period of growth of this parish. The entire parishioners, from child to aged were energized under his dynamic leadership. A very lively choir group, energetic altar boys, vigorous youth, regular and systematic catechism with a group of dedicated teachers, devoted parish council after all very active parishioners; altogether contributed to the progress of the parish both in spiritual and material terms. Ardent Prayers, vibrant and dedicated leadership and collective hard work, another milestone was achieved in the history of St. Joseph's Church, Kalkaji, we bought our sanjoebhawan at a cost of Rs. 65 lacs.

The blessing ceremony was held on 25th January 2009 by His Grace Vincent M Concessao. This landmark was made possible by different programs like Deepam Scheme with participation of more than 5000 members, generous contributions by the parishioners and donations through coupons from friends and well wishers. In all these programs, the unity and co-operation of all parishioners were visible.

St Joseph Church bid adieu farewell to Fr.Shajan Puthenpura, who was leaving to Kerala due to transfer after completing his dynamic mission in the Delhi Syro-Malabar Mission by the end of September 2009.

Henceforth, Fr. Dominic Kachappilly took over

May-June 2019-14-


charge as parish priest of this parish. During his tenure he proved to be a worthy successor of his dynamic predecessors. Under his leadership, the name and fame of our parish was spread across the Delhi Syro Malabar mission. In 2010, the parish won second place in the Santhome Fest Competition. He initiated along with parish councillors of the time, the fund raising programme Deepam –II. During this time the Delhi Syro Malabar Mission was erected to An Eparchy by the Holy See. For further responsibilities Fr Dominic was transferred to St Jude Church, Sahibabad, Consequently Fr. Antony Moothedan succeeded him on 5th August 2012.A new SD Convent was inaugurated by the Arch Bishop on 2013 October 31.

Later Fr. Anthony Muthedan took charge of our church and his faith and zealed moved many hearts into Christ. With a successful tenure of two years, he left and Fr George Thuppalanjiyil, MST took charge of our parish on March 2014 to June 2016. His continuous and relentless efforts for the parish was commendable in creating a systematic order to the parish. Moving on to Fr. Joseph Ayyamkolil who took charge on June 2016 was our spiritual father in all senses, the whole community felt the presence of Christ in their lives through the way he dealt with people, his elegance and calmness. With prior responsibilties on him he left for Kerala on February 2017.

Now the parish is out to fulfill the long cherished dream: "Lord made his people favourite, they have

a dream, a Church, to march to his heels to hear his words and to place incense and offerings" Lastly, the Lord was generous enough to send a blessed and charismatic priest for the fulfillment of our dream, Fr. Romal Kaniyamparambil, RCJ from February, 2017 onwards. A man of wisdom and utmost courage of conviction to face the world with God on his side and a spark in his eyes. From the day he came a change for the good was constant and he led us towards transformation. Achieving the Spiritual Goal

Under the leadership of Fr. Romal, the place for our new church was bought. 17th October, 2017 was a day of much delight for the members of the St. Joseph’s Church, Kalkaji . When our beloved Archbishop Kuriakose Bharanikulangara blessed and laid the foundation stone for the Church building in the newly purchased place at Tughlakabad. It was a long cherished dream of the faithful which became realized for all of the parishioners. The entire parish community along with the Parish Priest, and Rev. Sisters, gathered there to witness the historical ceremony, were beaming with pride and joy.

After the laying foundation, to complete the construction of the Church, the entire community worked hard, re-started the Deepam scheme, collected funds from other parishes and engaged in various other fund raising schemes were done in order to build our new church. At the end, after a long wait with the relentless work of parishioners, within this short span of two years, the St. Joseph’s Church, Kalkaji was consecrated by His Grace Archbishop Kuriakose Bharanikulangara, Bishop of Faridabad-Delhi Diocese and offered the first Holy Eucharistic on Sunday, 14 April, 2019 in the presence of priests, nuns and thousands of well-wishers. The parishioners congratulated Fr. Romal Kaniyamparambil, RCJ for our dream were made true. Now the members of St. Joseph church Kalkaji have a roof above their head, a beautiful place to kneel down, raise their voices and sing and pray for the glory of the Almighty.

INTRODUCTIONFaith leads a believer to see in the other

a brother or sister to be supported and loved. Through faith in God, who has created the universe, creatures and all human beings (equal on account of his mercy), believers are called to express this human fraternity by safeguarding creation and the entire universe and supporting all persons, especially the poorest and those most in need.

This transcendental value served as the starting point for several meetings characterized by a friendly and fraternal atmosphere where we shared the joys, sorrows and problems of our contemporary world. We did this by considering

scientific and technical progress, therapeutic achievements, the digital era, the mass media and communications. We reflected also on the level of poverty, conflict and suffering of so many brothers and sisters in different parts of the world as a consequence of the arms race, social injustice, corruption, inequality, moral decline, terrorism, discrimination, extremism and many other causes.

From our fraternal and open discussions, and from the meeting that expressed profound hope in a bright future for all human beings, the idea of this Document on Human Fraternity was conceived. It is a text that has been given honest and serious thought so as to be a joint

A DOCUMENT ON HUMAN FRATERNITYFOR WORLD PEACE AND LIVING TOGETHER

declaration of good and heartfelt aspirations. It is a document that invites all persons who have faith in God and faith in human fraternity to unite and work together

so that it may serve as a guide for future generations to advance a culture of mutual respect in the awareness of the great divine grace that makes all human beings brothers and sisters.DOCUMENT

In the name of God who has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and who has called them to live together as brothers and sisters, to fill the earth and make known the values of goodness, love and peace;

In the name of innocent human life that God has forbidden to kill, affirming that whoever kills a person is like one who kills the whole of humanity, and that whoever saves a person is like one who saves the whole of humanity;

In the name of the poor, the destitute, the marginalized and those most in need whom God has commanded us to help as a duty required of all persons, especially the wealthy and of means;

In the name of orphans, widows, refugees and those exiled from their homes and their countries; in the name of all victims of wars, persecution and injustice; in the name of the weak, those who live in fear, prisoners of war and those tortured in any part of the world, without distinction;

In the name of peoples who have lost their security, peace, and the possibility of living together, becoming victims of destruction, calamity and war;

In the name of human fraternity that embraces all human beings, unites them and renders them equal;

In the name of this fraternity torn apart by

policies of extremism and division, by systems of unrestrained profit or by hateful ideological tendencies that manipulate the actions and the future of men and women;

In the name of freedom, that God has given to all human beings creating them free and distinguishing them by this gift;

In the name of justice and mercy, the foundations of prosperity and the cornerstone of faith;

In the name of all persons of good will present in every part of the world;

In the name of God and of everything stated thus far; Al-Azhar al-Sharif and the Muslims of the East and West, together with the Catholic Church and the Catholics of the East and West, declare the adoption of a culture of dialogue as the path; mutual cooperation as the code of conduct; reciprocal understanding as the method and standard.

We, who believe in God and in the final meeting with Him and His judgment, on the basis of our religious and moral responsibility, and through this Document, call upon ourselves, upon the leaders of the world as well as the architects of international policy and world economy, to work strenuously to spread the culture of tolerance and of living together in peace; to intervene at the earliest opportunity to stop the shedding of innocent blood and bring an end to wars, conflicts, environmental decay and the moral and cultural decline that the world is presently experiencing.

We call upon intellectuals, philosophers, religious figures, artists, media professionals and men and women of culture in every part of the world, to rediscover the values of peace, justice, goodness, beauty, human fraternity and coexistence in order to confirm the importance of these values as anchors of salvation for all,

and to promote them everywhere.This Declaration, setting out from a

profound consideration of our contemporary reality, valuing its successes and in solidarity with its suffering, disasters and calamities, believes firmly that among the most important causes of the crises of the modern world are a desensitized human conscience, a distancing from religious values and a prevailing individualism accompanied by materialistic philosophies that deify the human person and introduce worldly and material values in place of supreme and transcendental principles.

While recognizing the positive steps taken by our modern civilization in the fields of science, technology, medicine, industry and welfare, especially in developed countries, we wish to emphasize that, associated with such historic advancements, great and valued as they are, there exists both a moral deterioration that influences international action and a weakening of spiritual values and responsibility. All this contributes to a general feeling of frustration, isolation and desperation leading many to fall either into a vortex of atheistic, agnostic or religious extremism, or into blind and fanatic extremism, which ultimately encourage forms of dependency and individual or collective self-destruction.

History shows that religious extremism, national extremism and also intolerance have produced in the world, be it in the East or West, what might be referred to as signs of a “third world war being fought piecemeal”. In several parts of the world and in many tragic circumstances these signs have begun to be painfully apparent, as in those situations where the precise number of victims, widows and orphans is unknown. We see, in addition, other

regions preparing to become theatres

of new conflicts, with outbreaks of tension and a build-up of arms and ammunition, and all this in a global context overshadowed by uncertainty, disillusionment, fear of the future, and controlled by narrow-minded economic interests.

We likewise affirm that major political crises, situations of injustice and lack of equitable distribution of natural resources – which only a rich minority benefit from, to the detriment of the majority of the peoples of the earth – have generated, and continue to generate, vast numbers of poor, infirm and deceased persons. This leads to catastrophic crises that various countries have fallen victim to despite their natural resources and the resourcefulness of young people which characterize these nations. In the face of such crises that result in the deaths of millions of children – wasted away from poverty and hunger – there is an unacceptable silence on the international level.

It is clear in this context how the family as the fundamental nucleus of society and humanity is essential in bringing children into the world, raising them, educating them, and providing them with solid moral formation and domestic security. To attack the institution of the family, to regard it with contempt or to doubt its important role, is one of the most threatening evils of our era.

We affirm also the importance of awakening religious awareness and the need to revive this awareness in the hearts of new generations through sound education and an adherence to moral values and upright religious teachings. In this way we can confront tendencies that are individualistic, selfish, conflicting, and also address radicalism and blind extremism in all its forms and expressions.

The first and most important aim of religions is to believe in God, to honour Him and to

world news

SANTHOME MESSENGER

invite all men and women to believe that this universe depends on a God who governs it. He is the Creator who has formed us with His divine wisdom and has granted us the gift of life to protect it. It is a gift that no one has the right to take away, threaten or manipulate to suit oneself. Indeed, everyone must safeguard this gift of life from its beginning up to its natural end. We therefore condemn all those practices that are a threat to life such as genocide, acts of terrorism, forced displacement, human trafficking, abortion and euthanasia. We likewise condemn the policies that promote these practices.

Moreover, we resolutely declare that religions must never incite war, hateful attitudes, hostility and extremism, nor must they incite violence or the shedding of blood. These tragic realities are the consequence of a deviation from religious teachings. They result from a political manipulation of religions and from interpretations made by religious groups who, in the course of history, have taken advantage of the power of religious sentiment in the hearts of men and women in order to make them act in a way that has nothing to do with the truth of religion. This is done for the purpose of achieving objectives that are political, economic, worldly and short-sighted. We thus call upon all concerned to stop using religions to incite hatred, violence, extremism and blind fanaticism, and to refrain from using the name of God to justify acts of murder, exile, terrorism and oppression. We ask this on the basis of our common belief in God who did not create men and women to be killed or to fight one another, nor to be tortured or humiliated in their lives and circumstances. God, the Almighty, has no need to be defended by anyone and does not want His name to be used to terrorize people.

This Document, in accordance with previous International Documents that have emphasized

the importance of the role of religions in the construction of world peace, upholds the following:• The firm conviction that authentic teachings

of religions invite us to remain rooted in the values of peace; to defend the values of mutual understanding, human fraternity and harmonious coexistence; to re-establish wisdom, justice and love; and to reawaken religious awareness among young people so that future generations may be protected from the realm of materialistic thinking and from dangerous policies of unbridled greed and indifference that are based on the law of force and not on the force of law;

• Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action. The pluralism and the diversity of religions, colour, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings. This divine wisdom is the source from which the right to freedom of belief and the freedom to be different derives. Therefore, the fact that people are forced to adhere to a certain religion or culture must be rejected, as too the imposition of a cultural way of life that others do not accept;

• Justice based on mercy is the path to follow in order to achieve a dignified life to which every human being has a right;

• Dialogue, understanding and the widespread promotion of a culture of tolerance, acceptance of others and of living together peacefully would contribute significantly to reducing many economic, social, political and environmental problems that weigh so heavily on a large part of humanity;

• Dialogue among believers means coming together in the vast space of spiritual,

May-June 2019-20-


human and shared social values and, from here, transmitting the highest moral virtues that religions aim for. It also means avoiding unproductive discussions;

• The protection of places of worship – synagogues, churches and mosques – is a duty guaranteed by religions, human values, laws and international agreements. Every attempt to attack places of worship or threaten them by violent assaults, bombings or destruction, is a deviation from the teachings of religions as well as a clear violation of international law;

• Terrorism is deplorable and threatens the security of people, be they in the East or the West, the North or the South, and disseminates panic, terror and pessimism, but this is not due to religion, even when terrorists instrumentalize it. It is due, rather, to an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts and to policies linked to hunger, poverty, injustice, oppression and pride. This is why it is so necessary to stop supporting terrorist movements fuelled by financing, the provision of weapons and strategy, and by attempts to justify these movements even using the media. All these must be regarded as international crimes that threaten security and world peace. Such terrorism must be condemned in all its forms and expressions;

• The concept of citizenship is based on the equality of rights and duties, under which all enjoy justice. It is therefore crucial to establish in our societies the concept of full citizenship and reject the discriminatory use of the term minorities which engenders feelings of isolation and inferiority. Its misuse paves the way for hostility and discord; it undoes any successes and takes away the religious and civil rights of some citizens who are thus discriminated against;

• Good relations between East and West are indisputably necessary for both. They must not be neglected, so that each can be enriched by the other’s culture through fruitful exchange and dialogue. The West can discover in the East remedies for those spiritual and religious maladies that are caused by a prevailing materialism. And the East can find in the West many elements that can help free it from weakness, division, conflict and scientific, technical and cultural decline. It is important to pay attention to religious, cultural and historical differences that are a vital component in shaping the character, culture and civilization of the East. It is likewise important to reinforce the bond of fundamental human rights in order to help ensure a dignified life for all the men and women of East and West, avoiding the politics of double standards;

• It is an essential requirement to recognize the right of women to education and employment, and to recognize their freedom to exercise their own political rights. Moreover, efforts must be made to free women from historical and social conditioning that runs contrary to the principles of their faith and dignity. It is also necessary to protect women from sexual exploitation and from being treated as merchandise or objects of pleasure or financial gain. Accordingly, an end must be brought to all those inhuman and vulgar practices that denigrate the dignity of women. Efforts must be made to modify those laws that prevent women from fully enjoying their rights;

• The protection of the fundamental rights of children to grow up in a family environment, to receive nutrition, education and support, are duties of the family and society. Such duties must be guaranteed and protected so

that they are not overlooked or denied to any child in any part of the world. All those practices that violate the dignity and rights of children must be denounced. It is equally important to be vigilant against the dangers that they are exposed to, particularly in the digital world, and to consider as a crime the trafficking of their innocence and all violations of their youth;

• The protection of the rights of the elderly, the weak, the disabled, and the oppressed is a religious and social obligation that must be guaranteed and defended through strict legislation and the implementation of the relevant international agreements.

To this end, by mutual cooperation, the Catholic Church and Al-Azhar announce and pledge to convey this Document to authorities, influential leaders, persons of religion all over the world, appropriate regional and international organizations, organizations within civil society, religious institutions and leading thinkers. They further pledge to make known the principles contained in this Declaration at all regional and international levels, while requesting that these principles be translated into policies, decisions, legislative texts, courses of study and materials to be circulated.

Al-Azhar and the Catholic Church ask that this Document become the object of research and reflection in all schools, universities and institutes of formation, thus helping to educate new generations to bring goodness and peace to others, and to be defenders everywhere of the rights of the oppressed and of the least of our brothers and sisters.In conclusion, our aspiration is that:

this Declaration may constitute an invitation to reconciliation and fraternity among all believers, indeed among believers and non-

believers, and among all people of good will;this Declaration may be an appeal to every

upright conscience that rejects deplorable violence and blind extremism; an appeal to those who cherish the values of tolerance and fraternity that are promoted and encouraged by religions;

this Declaration may be a witness to the greatness of faith in God that unites divided hearts and elevates the human soul;

this Declaration may be a sign of the closeness between East and West, between North and South, and between all who believe that God has created us to understand one another, cooperate with one another and live as brothers and sisters who love one another.

This is what we hope and seek to achieve with the aim of finding a universal peace that all can enjoy in this life.

'Forane Meet' - The Next Step

dsym news

'Forane Meet' - The Next Step

The Diocesan Executive Committee, along with all its members, had geared up to take the next step towards knowing the diocesan youth, after the success of their first event, Gloria'19. Apparently, 'Forane Meet' had been the event on their check list, for a while now, as they had been working on various segments of it, to pull it off.

This step had been taken mainly to know more about the strengths and weaknesses of the diocesan youth. The office bearers visited all seven foranes, where in each meeting, it was mandatory, for the forane director, animator and all executives of that particular forane and its parishes, to be present. The main elements of discussion were, the scope of the forane and duties of executives, registration of all youth members aged between 15-30 (Rs.100/per youth, valid for three years) at the diocesan and forane level and it's deadlines, Youth Fest and Continuous Rosary (Diocesan events), reports and bylaws pertaining to the forane and parish youth. The meetings were scheduled for the following dates: • 10th March - Mayur Vihar Forane, at Alphonsa

Bhawan, Noida.

• 17th March - Gurgaon Forane, at Sacred Heart Forane Church, Gurgaon.

• 24th March - Palam Forane, at St. Ephrem's Church, Vikas Puri.

• 7th April - Dilshad Garden Forane, at St. John Paul II, Vaishali.

• 14th April - Karol Bagh Forane, at Nirmal Hriday Church, Tagore Garden.

• 5th May - Faridabad and Jasola Forane, at Our Lady of Fatima Forane, Jasola - Okhla.

Now that they have completed their Forane Meet, the DSYM leaders seem to have been successful in knowing the diocesan youth. Through this, they had taken suggestions from the youth to plan and organize, a Youth Fest later this year and also decided to facilitate 'Akhanda Japamala' (Continuous Rosary) on Saturday, 12th October.

The DSYM leaders wish to express their gratitude to all Forane Directors and executives for their cooperation and patience without which the Forane Meet wouldn't have been successful.

FARIDABAD DIOCESAN BULLETIN parish news

Kristhuraja Cathedral Forane, Faridabad

Kristhuraja Cathedral magnificently celebrated the Easter Holy Qurbana soaked with desires to have an eternal life and broken hearts to be filled with love held its rituals on 21st April, 2019. The main celebrant was our beloved Archbishop Kuriakose Bharanikulangara, and Rev. Fr. Paul Kodiyan (Vicar) and Rev. Fr. Anoop Madathiparambil (Asst. Vicar) concelebrated.

A splendid and magical performance was put up by the youth members of the church, portraying a live representation of Anastasis; the concept of coming back to life after death. The new white sparkling cloths, the calming smile, the live wounds of resurrected Jesus gave a different divine aura in the church. A candle light procession was marked, covering up the nearby lanes of the Church, testifying the resurrection of Christ to the world. Each person was a part of the procession, the young and the old, all followed the resurrected Christ and hence turning themselves into a new flame of life and testimony. A beautiful sermon was delivered by our dear Archbishop highlighting the verse: Peace be with you.

Archbishop highlighted a few points stating the words of Jesus: Come follow me, and I will show you how to love others and love yourself. Follow me and I will show you how to repent and be forgiven and forgive others. Follow me and turn things around to start over; to navigate the storms of life and storms of death. Follow me to

find purpose, your purpose, God's purpose. He taught us the way; he showed us the way where we find new life. “Follow me” can be a simple request from a mom, brother or a friend. This request requires trust, belief, and action.

After the mass, Mementos were presented to the parishioners by our dear Archbishop for leading a successful life of sanctity and joy in Christ. These small precious gifts marked a very beautiful yet short journey, which is to be cherished always.

A prize distribution ceremony for the growing little flowers of Catechism department was followed. The rank holders of the catechism were awarded with special prize panel by our Archbishop encouraging them to score more and imbibe the catechetical lessons in their future lives as well.The day winded up with a small love offering as a sweet dish prepared for everyone wishing a wonderful Easter with all the glorious charisma and enthusiasm to live in the divine aura of Christ, Our Lord.
