The Song of Nativity

 

Little Jesus in a Manger with Mother Mary, St Jospeh(Foster Father)her spouse 

Poem- 05

God, your Word came into this world

To bring salvation for all humanity

Stars of the heaven twinkling with joy

The choir of the angels welcomes the Little One

Lord, you chose the lowest comfort on earth

To become the poorest of the poor

This way to make yourself, you are for all

The rich and poor would find the way of truth in you

Am I worthy to receive Him under my roof

He looked into my heart with joy

I searched Him in the midst of stars

Then I saw a star shining brighter than other stars

In the silent night and in the chilling wind

I was walking where the star guided me 

 I saw the shepherds coming on my way

They all carried with best gifts they have

But I am the worthless one carry no gifts for my Lord

Woe to me, am not having any virtues

Lord, you never ask our wealth or virtues

But, You only asks our cheerful heart

  

We saw our Lord of lords in a manger

Mary and Joseph the poor mother and father

The most blessed parents on earth

A unique model to bear all the suffering, to have the child, the Son of God

Holy Innocents, a Tribute

 

Holy Innocents, a Tribute 

Oh Lord, the infants martyrdom was the true sign, that 

The King of Kings was born and glorified

God protected His own Son, handed him over to the 

Earthly father, holy Joseph to protect Jesus,

God’s angel told Joseph to take mother and child and flee from Judea to Egypt 

Holy Joseph, a just man took mother and Baby Jesus to Egypt

Thus God saved His own Son as the prophets told,

God has brought him out of Egypt

The furious King Herod killed the infants in Bethlehem and the surrounding places,

As the prophecy is fulfilled, ‘a voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: 

it is Rachel weeping for her children, 

refusing to be comforted because they are no more.’ 

Oh, Holy Innocennts, you all were the witnesses for the Lord’s coming into this world

God has chosen you to be as oblations to show the love to the world

Your sacrifice became the lesson and sign to whole humanity,

To love life and give life to all unborns in wombs of mothers

Lord, the martyrdom of these all innocents were given us the hope

That no longer we will allow to kill our infants and unborns

The pain in the hearts of the mothers, fathers and their Guardian Angels,

became as prayers for the unborn and infants of all generations 

Wishing You all a Blessed Feast of Holy Innocents

Words of Jesus 

Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

Again, you have heard how it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but must fulfil your oaths to the Lord. * 34 But I say this to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God’s throne; 35 or by earth, since that is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the great King. * 36 Do not swear by your own head either, since you cannot turn a single hair white or black. 37 All you need say is “Yes” if you mean yes, “No” if you mean no; anything more than this comes from the Evil One.  (Matthew 5:33–37, NJB)

We should not break our faith and oath with our Lord. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain Ex 20: 7. Taking the name of God unnecessarily or misuse His Name is against the Commandment of God.  We may repeat our profession of faith whenever we participate fully in the Holy Mass. Never swear an oath in vain by taking the name of the Lord, which may lead us to grievous sin. If we say yes to our faith means yes only, if say no means no only. Anything more than this in the matter of faith is from the Evil One. We cannot serve Jesus Christ and Evil together, we will be answerable for that on the Judgement Day. 

Let us pray pray to Jesus our Lord to increase our faith, as he prayed for the Apostles and his disciples. 

Oh Little Francis Happy Feast of St Francis of Assisi

 

Happy  Feast of St Francis Assisi 

Oh Francis, you sacrificed many things of this world, you embraced the way of littleness to approach eternal life! 

St Francis was influenced me so much in my conversion. The book I read about him was named,The first life of St Francis of Assisi written by Thomas Celano. I don’t remember the name of the translator to Malayalam. From that book I got to know about the powerful intervention of Mother Mary to bring back a soul of a Friar to return of his vocation of priesthood. Our Lady gave a special Rosary of seven decades to the friar to make him embrace the love of Jesus. Later the Franciscans made this rosary [called Franciscan Seraphic Rosary] to recite in their Monasteries and Convents of Poor Clares and many other Franciscan Congregations. 

This inspired me a lot, thought how much St Francis also loved Mother Mary. Since I read this book I started knowing about Mother Mary, same my love towards St Francis also increased. I started reciting Rosary and love towards increased.  Then after many interventions of Mother Mary and St Francis I decided to become a Catholic. My spiritual life I started in the Gulf was associated with Franciscans as the Catholic Churches in the Middle East are run by Franciscans Capuchins. 

Oh, Little Francis

Oh! Little Francis 

The poorest of the poor 

You imitated Christ 

In everything you have done

You made an example 

To the young and old

You are the humblest servant 

Chosen by God, to serve the flocks of Christ

You left all the wealth of this world

To gain the wealth of Heaven

You poured out the charity 

On all the Creatures of God

Your love is inspiring 

Still in the hearts of millions

You were the channel of peace

Peace that the Lord has endeavoured 

Lord has given a key to you 

To open the hearts of the wearied souls

Help us to seek the life in holiness

The peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

You have loved the nature ardently

You praised God’s creations by giving Him thanks

You love peace among the nations

You never wants to be loved but to love all

The Words Of Jesus 

Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

1 ‘It has also been said, Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a writ of dismissal. * 32 But I say this to you, everyone who divorces his wife, except for the case of an illicit marriage, * makes her an adulteress; and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  (Matthew 5:31–32, NJB)

When someone divorce his wife or a wife divorce her husband they make their wife or husband an adulterer. This way the sin of adultery will be a punishable mortal sin. Whoever remarries a wife or husband becomes an adulterer.  So the Catholic Church never entertain divorces for a married couple but the church encourages them to reconcile with each other by giving them time to think about the future.  This is one way to overcome the divided life of them and the divided life of their children, which is very painful when the children live a life with a single parent. 

Let us pray for the married couples and their families to overcome any difficulties in their life and to live their life with full of love and compassion, by imitating a meek and humble heart of Jesus.

The Words Of Jesus 

Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

Lord, ‘do not let lechery and lust grip me, do not leave me a prey to shameless desire.’

You have heard how it was said, You shall not commit adultery. * 28 But I say this to you, if a man looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye should be your downfall, tear it out and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand should be your downfall, cut it off and throw it away; for it will do you less harm to lose one part of yourself than to have your whole body go to hell. (Matthew 5:27–30, NJB)

Adultery is a grave mortal sin as per the commandment of God. When adultery is committed, we do it in our own body and sometimes involve others as well to do the same sin. When a man looks at a woman lustfully, he has committed adultery in her heart. So this way we commit adultery by our eyes, our mind and body. Never harm ourselves in such a kind of sin by our lustful eyes or mind which makes us fall into sin and even involves others as well. Never entertain our mind with lustful feelings which may corrupt us mentally and physically, will lead us to this grave sin. In Book of Sirach, a prayer is there to recite: do not let lechery and lust grip me, do not leave me a prey to shameless desire.  (Sirach 23:6, NJB)
