Two Auxiliary Bishops for Bombay

T
his is a day of great rejoicing in the Archdiocese of Bombay. A very historic day; for this day,
on the feast of St Thomas Aquinas, the great doctor of the Church, we are receiving a gi
from God of two new Auxiliary Bishops in the Archdiocese.
How happy we are! What a joy it is to each one of us, in a special way for the parishioners of Thane
and of Borivli, and for all of us in the Archdiocese of Bombay, the Western Region and the Church in
India. These pastors have been called by the Lord to a great leadership role; all of us rejoice, because
we have new Shepherds to assist in the leadership of the Churchnew leaders to guide us; holy
men to take us to the Lord.
Allwyn DSilva and Barthol Barre othrough the imposi on of hands following the ancient
tradi on, from the very apostolic mes, and saying the approved formulawill now join our ranks
as Shepherds of the Church. Being a Shepherd of the Church is most challenging at every me, but
especially in our mes. Our Chief Shepherd in Rome, Pope Francis, insists on the central role of the
Bishops, and has consistently been encouraging and guiding the Bishops in their role as leaders
of the Church.
Pope Francis has been insis ng "the Shepherds must have the smell of the sheep" (their
flock). This smell you will have if you are connected to them, in an approachable, welcoming,
understanding way, and opening his heart to them. It is not just the ques on of being physically
present, but the a tude of the heart, receiving, loving them, understanding them, sharing in
their joys and sorrows, and being of service to your people, just as the Lord was available to His
people throughout the day.
The Holy Father issued an Apostolic Le er Misericordia et Misera where he reminded us that the
Year of Mercy is past, but mercy and compassion cannot be forgo en. It is an essen al element
of Christs teaching. We have to promote a culture of mercy, says the Pope. That is why in the
Archdiocese of Bombay, in the coming year, we will have as our theme Promo ng the culture of
mercy so that every parish, every ins tu on, every religious house becomes an oasis of mercy
for our people, reaching out to all those on the periphery, welcoming all those in distress.
The Archdiocese of Bombay has had the privilege of having the system of Small Chris an
Communi es. This and other associa ons and groups can be used eec vely to promote the
apostolate of the laity. It is only with the laity that the Church can be vibrant. Hence, educate
them, confirm them, encourage them, work with them and teach them to work with others.
Mumbai is a cosmopolitan city. Not all are of our culture, language or even religion. Hence,
dialogue is important. Dialogue with people of other cultures, dialogue with people of other
religions, dialogue with people of other languages, and work hand in hand with Government.
We cannot transform all of society alone. We, as Chris ans, can be catalysts that can promote
harmony among people of diverse cultures, languages and religions.
Both Allwyn and Barthol bring a great contribu on to the leadership of this Archdiocese. Both
have been Parish Priests, successful, loved by people. Both have a special love for their people;
both have been associated with the Central Oce of the Archdiocese, the Archbishop and his
Curia. Both have been associated with the Seminary. And yet, both complement each other so
much. One has spent a lot of me planning pastoral work; the other has spent more me doing
pastoral work. One is very much con nuously doing things; the other is much concentrated on
planning things to be done. One has had much exposure in India and outside; the other has had
deep exposure in the Archdiocese. What richness for the Archdiocese to have these two men
with us. I very warmly welcome you to the leadership of the Archdiocese of Bombay; a very warm
embrace to you from me, the Auxiliaries, and from all the clergy in the Archdiocese of Bombay
and Religious and faithful.

March for Life
'Life is winning again in America'
T
he leaders of the Pro-life movement are used
to having the ear of the President, as they had
with Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and
George W. Bush.
During their respec ve administra ons, they addressed the
March for Life via telephone, but this year, the event marking
the Roe v/s Wade anniversary had the highest-ranking
government ocial ever to address the crowd in person.
"Life is winning again in America, and today is a celebra on
of that progress," the ocial, Vice President Mike Pence, told
the March for Life rally on the Na onal Mall Jan. 27.
"More than 240 years ago, our founders declared these
truths to be self-evident that we are, all of us, endowed by
our Creator with certain unalienable rights and that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," he said.
"Forty-four years ago, our Supreme Court turned away from
the first of these meless ideals, but today, genera ons
hence - because of all of you and the many thousands who
stand with us in marches all across the na on - life is winning
again in America."
Pence said President Donald Trump had asked him to
address the Rally, which took place under a sunny sky with
temperatures in the 40s. "He asked me to thank you for your
support, for your stand for life and your compassion for the
women and children of America."
Other speakers included New York Cardinal Timothy M.
Dolan, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Pro-life Commi ee;
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager and now
special adviser to the president; Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa; and
Reps. Mia Love, R-Utah, and Chris Smith, R-New Jersey.
Early that morning, Archbishop Christophe Pierre,
Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, conveyed a message
from Pope Francis to the March for Life, saying the pon
was "profoundly grateful for this impressive tes mony to the
sacredness of every human life."
"As he has made clear, so great is the value of human
life and so inalienable the right to life of an innocent child
growing in a mother's womb, that no alleged right can jus fy
a decision to terminate this life," the nuncio said.
Pope Francis "trusts that this event, in which so many
American ci zens speak out on behalf of the most
defenceless of our bothers and sisters, will contribute to a
mobilisa on of consciences in defence of the right to life and
eec ve measures to ensure its adequate legal protec on,"
Archbishop Christopher said.
6 THE EXAMINER FEB 04 - 10, 2017
KURT JENSEN & JULIE ASHER (CNS)
The evening before the march, Pence also hosted
organisers at the Execu ve Oce Building, next to the White
House. As a member of Congress, he had addressed the
March for Life in 2002, 2003 and 2007.
"Our President is a man with broad shoulders, a big heart,"
Pence said at the Rally. To loud cheers, he added, "His vision,
his energy, his op mism are boundless, and I know he will
make America great again."
He pointed to Trump's Jan. 23 execu ve ac on reinsta ng
what's called the Mexico City Policy, which bans tax dollars
from funding groups that promote or perform abor on in
other countries. He said the administra on would work
with Congress to stop taxpayer funding of abor on "and
devote those resources to healthcare services for women
across America."
On Jan. 24, the House passed the No Taxpayer Funding
for Abor on Act, making the 41-year-old Hyde Amendment
permanent. The amendment, which has had to be approved
each year as part of the budget for the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, prohibits tax dollars from paying
for abor on, except in cases of rape, incest or threat to the
woman's life. The Senate has yet to act on a companion bill,
but Trump has said he will sign it into law when the measure
reaches his desk.
"I urge you to press on," Pence told the Rally. "Let your
gentleness be evident to all. Let this movement be known
for love, not anger. Let this movement be known for
compassion, not confronta on. When it comes to ma ers
of the heart, there is nothing stronger than gentleness. I
believe we will con nue to win the minds and hearts of the
rising genera on, if our hearts first break for mothers and
their unborn children, and meet them where they are with
generosity, not judgment."
"You can sense the joy in people today," Kristan Hawkins,
president of Students for Life, told Catholic News Service. "I
hope it's not lost."
Earlier in the week, march organisers predicted at least
50,000 would be there. But there were at least that many at
the Rally, and before it was over, marchers, including many
busloads of parochial schoolchildren, covered the full width
of Cons tu on Avenue, en route to the Supreme Court, for
at least seven blocks.
Trump drew considerable a en on earlier in the week by
telling Republican lawmakers at a Philadelphia retreat that
there could be as many as 600,000, eclipsing the Woman's
March Jan. 21, which had an es mated 500,000.
Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life
organisa on, acknowledged that new spotlight.
"There has been a lot of talk about numbers over the
past week. The Women's March has talked about numbers
and Facebook likes, and people keep asking me about our
numbers for the March for Life. Well, it is hard to add up how
many have come here over the last 44 years, but that really
isn't the point," she said.
Effective Evangelization
W hen the missionary E. Stanley Jones asked Mahatma
Gandhi why he rejected becoming a follower of
Christ, the Mahatma responded with these words: "Oh, I
don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you
Chris ans are so unlike Christ. If Chris ans would really live
according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all
of India would be Chris an today." Dr Albert Schweitzer, the
Nobel Laureate once said, "Example is not the main thing to
influence people. It is the only thing!" Jesus Christ said, "By
this shall people know that you are my disciples, that you
have love one for another."
Any amount of ar cles are being wri en in Chris an
books, magazines and periodicals about the many ways
Eec ve Evangeliza on is possible. But can using all these
methods ever compare with what Mahatma Gandhi, Dr
Schweitzer and Jesus Himself were convinced about? Are
we fooling ourselves by imagining that a beau fully wri en
and eloquently delivered homily will do more good than a
li le kindness shown to a poor widow who knocks at our
rectory door with a begging bowl, asking for something with
which she can feed her children for the day; or the parents
of a boy, who come at non-oce hours, asking for a birth
cer ficate urgently needed by his school, are helped even
though they come out of me?
"The only number I care about, and the only number
that we all care about is - 58 million. Since 1973, 58 million
Americans have died as a result of abor on," Mancini said.
"We stand here today for them - for the li le innocent
children who have lost their lives to abor on. We also stand
here for the mothers who regret their abor on decision."
Conway took the podium before Pence.
"I am a wife, a mother, a Catholic, counsellor to the
president of the United States of America, and yes, I am
pro-life," Conway said. "It is such an honour to stand with
the Vice President of the United States and so many leaders,
families and students from places near and far (today)."
"Your courage, your convic on and your faith are
impressive and consequen al," she told the crowd. "This
is a new day, a new dawn for life. Why are we here? What
does it mean to stand together to be part of this incredible
movement, to face cri cism, ridicule, and laws and
lawmakers (against life)? It means to protect and promote
the most previous gi in the worldthe gi of life. It means
to stand up, stand tall and stand together against the
indierence and the indefensible, and on behalf of babies
in the womb."
BISHOP PERCY
In one of the lectures I a ended in the USA in the 1980s,
the speaker told us that a learned Behavioural Scien st once
declared that there are three absolutely necessary quali es
for any one to be considered a successful leader: the first to
be kind; the second, to be kind, and the third, to be kind!
This concurs with what Jesus, the Mahatma and Dr Albert
were convinced about, and is the most eec ve way we
have in our hands as Chris ans, whatever posi on we may
be holding, or holding no posi on at all!
Let us read the ar cles on this subject, by all means,
and listen carefully to the well-wri en and well-delivered
homilies, as they will definitely enhance our responsibility to
evangelize, but the follow-up cannot be anything else than
our determina on to be Christ-like in our behaviour, so that
people who come in contact with us will recognise Jesus and
His teachings, as He Himself has assured us by His direc ve
given to us in Jn 13:35, that by this will men know that we
are His disciples, that we have love one for another!

Romila Palliative Care Centre
O
n Friday,
January 27,
SNEHA (Society
for Nutri on
Educa on and Health
Ac on), a Mumbai-based
NGO launched the ROMILA
PALLIATIVE CARE CENTRE
on the grounds of Holy
Family Hospital, Bandra,
Mumbai. This Pallia ve
Centre, oering OPD and
home-based services aims
to address the cares of
pa ents with life-limi ng
and debilita ng condi ons,
primarily those with
cancer. Romila (meaning
hear elt) symbolises the
love, compassionate and
competent care that this
project wants to give to
help people suering from
life-limi ng illness to live
a life of dignity and hope
through their illness, and at
the same me, enable their
loved ones to look a er
them be er, with greater
assurance and confidence.
The term 'Pallia ve Care'
o en conjures up an image
of care that is given in a
situa on when there is
no hope, when everyone
else seems to have given
upan image that is o en
depressing. However, we
at Romila Pallia ve Care
want to make people realise
that, in pallia ve care,

a reassurance of our faith
and belief, when everything

around seems full of despair,
that life ma ers.
The essence of pallia ve
care is to improve the
quality of life of pa ents,
not focusing on the days
they have to live, but rather
on how they live those
days," comfortably and
without pain, and to help
the caregivers and families
face, with knowledge and
confidence, the problems
associated with a life-
threatening illness. Pallia ve
care starts when the illness
is diagnosed, con nues
through treatment, during
follow-ups, un l the end
of life. The Pallia ve Care
team consists of the doctors,
nurses and counsellors
trained in this field,
together with nutri onists,
physiotherapists,
occupa onal therapists
and volunteers, who work
together with the primary
trea ng Doctor to support
the pa ent and his family
and caregivers.
It oers a support
system that enhances the
quality of life of pa ents
by working to alleviate the
pain and discomfort they
experience through any
other symptom. Teaching
the caregiver simple nursing
procedures, and being the
liaison between the trea ng
doctor, the pa ent and the
pa ent's family in itself will
relieve much of the stress
they experience. Pallia ve
care also recognises the
importance of addressing
the concerns and needs of
the pa ents family.
Caregivers need not only
skills on how to look a er
their loved ones, but also
reassurance and support and

dicult mes of the illness.
Most importantly, help them

fore which have to be dealt
with. The concept of pain
management is at the very
founda on of pallia ve
care. Going beyond pain,
we cannot emphasise
enough that pa ents need
compassion, hear elt care
and posi ve energy that
come from arma ve
beliefs, deep faith and a
loving environment.
In India, pallia ve care
is rela vely new. However,
quality services ranging from
hospital-based, hospice-
based and home-based
care have already been
started in a few centres in
Kerala, Delhi, Bangalore and
Mumbai. Given the need
for such services, there is a
definite requirement for a
stepped up response. Hence,
the Romila Pallia ve Care
has started with an OPD
Centre at the end of January,
and this will be followed
by home-based care. The
service will commence with
cancer pa ents, and will
expand to include other
life-limi ng and debilita ng
illnesses. To help run this
much needed Pallia ve
Centre, SNEHA plans to
have a fund-raiser on March
19, 2017 a musical play
'BOMBAY JAZZ' followed by
Brunch at the Hard Rock
Caf. For details on how you

We hope to get a posi ve
response in order to make
this endeavour a success.

OBITUARY
A Citizen of Heaven: Fr
Fred Sopena
On Republic Day 2017 in India, Fred Sopena may have been
swearing by the Heavenly Cons tu on. He succeeded last year
in becoming an Indian ci zen. He has now (January 25, 2017)
succeeded in becoming a ci zen of heaven for ever. And we,
who have walked with him, are now invited to come forward
as qualified witnesses, through faith, when he swears loving
fidelity to God for an eternity. In a way, today, Fred is divinised
and finds his full iden ty in becoming one with God.
I wish to talk to you as Fred would. So I am
thinking only of your good: what will help you
at this moment; what will give you joy?
I met Fred for the first me when he was
fourteen and I was eleven, and I can say
that the life of Fred Sopena has been a
success all through. Why do I say that?
Because the amount of good he has done
is not normal. It is a mystery how a single
man can touch so many hearts, and do
it so deeply.
Fred joined the Jesuits when he was
fi een. But even at that early age, he knew
what he wanted, though he was not fully
aware of that; and this slight shadow of doubt and
uncertainty accompanied him always. Call it rela vism,
or an invita on to search further, or a sense of humour when
nothing seems to be clear, but one has to live and move
forward S ll, this rela vism or uncertainty did not come from
lack of knowledge. No! For Fred was extremely intelligent - he
could have easily been a professor of any subject. It was not to
be that way. Fred was appointed as a formator of young Jesuits,
but understandably, he lasted only a short me in the job. He
was meant to grow and become a full fledged person in places
like Achanak Colony, Tara, and finally in the fer le re rement
of Vinayalaya, in a room next to the porch and open to all, a
place that he turned into a public square.
Then, what is the secret of the success of Sopena, of his
magne sm, of his power? It seems a pla tude, but it is not. It
is the same secret of the unbelievable success of the carpenter
of Nazareth. Fred had no other Ego, but Christ, who was the
centre of his life (as of the life of any Jesuit). And so his iden ty
was outside himself, as Christ's was. 'Get out of yourself!' He got
out of Spain, and came to India; he also got out of the prospect
of a brilliant future in the world to turn himself into a source of
light as a poor Jesuit. And so his greatest wealth was to have
found the way to the poor and to be one with them. And this
exposure to the poor made him "religious" in the best sense
of the word. This was the secret of Fred's magne sm. A lady
from Madrid wrote two days ago that she was thirteen when
she, accompanied by her parents, met Sopena for the first
me, and was enraptured by him. Now she is sixty-five, and
the experience of this rela onship is s ll constantly renewed.
The gospel of today had to be the Bea tudes. I like to imagine
that Jesus had Fred in mind, or someone like him, when he
pronounced them for the first me. 'Blessed are the poor!' That
fits perfectly Fred's lifestyle, giving away things, no metable,
ready to meet any one any me.
Blessed are those who mourn! How many tears have dried up,
perhaps in your own eyes, talking and listening to Fr Sopena!
Those who are meek! Have you ever seen Fred angry? Always
gentle, to the level of the impossible.
Those who hunger for jus ce! The great hunger and thirst of
Fred! Our Jesuit companion Tony Dias calls Sopena a "gentle
revolu onary": strong convic ons, daring plans, but always far
from violent confronta ons.
Blessed are the merciful! Never a
condemnation from his lips; encouraging,
doing good of every kind.
Blessed are the pure in heart! No
room for ambition or power, no self-
righteousness. Even, I would say, no
religious certainties, for even his
faith had a margin of doubt; even
the best faith has room for darkness.
'If there is God', he would say with
his mischievous look and with that
inimitable gesture of his hand.
Blessed are the peacemakers! Anything
to be said about this? Yes; his passion for
dialogue at any level. There is no Jew, no Greek,
says the Bible. Fred said: There is no Chris an, no
Hindu, no Muslim, no unbeliever. All are children of God.
The eighth bea tude is perhaps the only one that hardly fits
Fred, for he was never persecuted. Who would persecute Father
Sopena? True, there were some misunderstandings with zealots
of the law, for Fred seemed to be some mes outside the law.
He was not; he was above the law, for the Bible too reminds
us that there is no other law for those who love.
Last night, as I was trying to put a few thoughts together for
this moment, I realised that men of the calibre of Fred Sopena
are in short supply. Maybe it is up to us to mul ply their number.
Will you be one of that number? This would be the kind of
funeral Fred expects: a change in our life for the be er.
One of the messages just received says this of Fred: "Even
when he died, he has not gone, for he took possession of our
hearts here on earth, and he will remain always with us."
I invite you to look at the sky tonight. I know it is dicult in
Mumbai. But if you try, you will see a new star. It is Fred Sopena
looking at you, twinkling at you like stars do, and above all,
guiding each one of you. The way he has always done.

BOOK REVIEW
Im Pro-Life; Are You?
by Dr Jeanee Pinto
In every genera on, people have risen to the challenge of
speaking authorita vely and pro-ac vely on cri cal issues
of the day. In this book, Dr Jeane e Pinto puts together well
researched pro-life ar cles and papers
presented by her at conferences and
seminars, projecting values of love,
life and family that uphold the dignity
of the human person, including the
unborn. They reflect the reality and
truth of life situa ons that challenge
us to choose, cherish and celebrate the
beau ful gi of life.
IM PRO-LIFE, ARE YOU? [ST PAULS
pp 238 Rs 220 ISBN 978-93-
5015-290-4] throws light on various
pro-life issues and the anti-life
mentality of people in general, by
touching on topics such as abor on,
assisted reproductive technology,
h o m o s e x u a l i t y, e u t h a n a s i a ,
pornography, human tracking etc.
This book will help enhance the
readers understanding of crucial
anti-life issues and the culture of
death prevalent in the world, to
enable one to choose, cherish and
celebrate life, in the process crea ng
the environment needed to produce
a genera on of pro-lifers.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the authors study
encompassing life from the womb to the tomb, her book
purports to answer a host of queries, clarifying numerous
doubts, chapter 33 being par cularly informa ve. Deserving of
special men on here is chapter 35 on Ethical Dilemmas [pp
217-226 - with input from Fr (Dr) Stephen Fernandes, Professor
of Moral Theology, Bombay Diocesan Seminary] which touches
on contracep on, masturba on et al. As for the select sketches
in the book, if chapter 5 Murder by the Mother [pp 47-54]
doesnt convince the reader of the satanic implica ons of
abor on, nothing ever will!
Pope Francis says, The right to life means allowing people
to live and not killing, allowing them to grow, to eat, to be
educated, to be healed and to be permi ed to die with dignity.
IM PRO-LIFE; ARE YOU? is an arma on of the seriousness
of the writers pro-life endeavours.
In fact, so seized of the issue has
she been, that it was precisely at the
behest of the then Archbishop of
Bombay, Cardinal Simon Pimenta, that
she set up the Diocesan Human Life
Commi ee in 1997 to help cul vate a
culture of life in the city and diocese.
In the two decades gone by, she has
addressed several audiences on Pro-
Life issues, and talked to hundreds
of young adults on Human Sexuality,
earning the Diocese of Mangalores
coveted 'Rachana Outstanding Woman
of the Year Award' (2014).
Dr Pinto, a parent and grandparent
herself, has been an educator,
counsellor and trainer for personal
growth for five decades, having taught
at and been Vice Principal of St Xaviers
College, Mumbai, before re ring as
Principal of Sophia College, Mumbai
(2001). As such, with her global
mindset and Chris an outlook, all of
her books viz. The Indian Widow, Life-
giving Heroes, For Youth on Love, Life
and Sex, Wonder Women of India and
IM PRO-LIFE; ARE YOU? resonate with and reflect the innate
dignity of the human person, making for a God-experience that
has one enthused to be ever pro-life!

I
n the Catholic Church, a bishop is an ordained minister,
and always a man who holds the fullness of the sacrament
of Holy Orders. He is responsible for teaching doctrine,
governing Catholics in his jurisdiction, and sanctifying
the world and for representing the Church. Catholics trace
the origin of the office of 'bishop' to the Apostles, who
were endowed with a special charism by the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost. Catholics believe this special charism has been
transmitted through an unbroken succession of bishops by
the laying on of hands in the sacrament of Holy Orders.
An auxiliary bishop is a full-time assistant to a diocesan
bishop. Auxiliaries assist the diocesan bishop in a variety
of ways, and are usually appointed as vicars general or
episcopal vicars of the diocese in which they serve.
On January 28, 2017, the Archdiocese of Bombay was
blessed with two new Auxiliary Bishops as Rev. Msgr Allwyn
D'Silva and Rev. Msgr Barthol Barretto were consecrated
at the hands of His Eminence, Oswald Cardinal Gracias, as
Principal Consecrator, and His Grace Archbishop Felipe Neri
Ferrao of Goa, Diu and Daman and His Lordship Bishop Bosco
Penha as co-consecrators.
After the Proclamation of the Gospel, the sacred and
meaningful rite of the Episcopal ordination commenced.
The Bishops-elect were presented for ordination. Bishop-
elect Msgr Allwyn D'Silva was assisted by Fr Percy D'Silva
(his brother) and Fr John D'Mello (a close friend of Msgr
Allwyn), while Bishop-elect Msgr Barthol Barretto was
assisted by Fr Elias D'Souza (his classmate) and Fr John
Barretto (a close friend of Msgr Barthol). The Apostolic
Letter announcing their appointment as Bishops was
then read; first in Latin by Msgr Henryk, the distinguished
representative from the Vatican embassy, and then in
English, followed
by the consent
from the people
of God, as the

in singing the
acclamation:

Pope prays for Religious
'victims of kidnapping'
"If one member suers, all the members suer together,"
said Pope Francis, quo ng Saint Paul, to express his grief
for the Churches in the world that are constrained daily to
witness the rage of violence and terrible acts perpetrated
by fundamentalist extremism. "Your suerings are our
suerings," stressed Pope Francis to the members of the Joint
Interna onal Commission for Theological Dialogue between
the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Therefore, he joined in their prayer to invoke "the end
of conflicts and the closeness of God to tried populations,
especially the children, the sick and the elderly." The
Pope's thought went particularly to the Bishops, priests,
consecrated and faithful, "victims of cruel kidnappings,"
and all those "who have been taken hostage or reduced
to slavery."
Situations of such "tragic suffering," he lamented, are
more easily rooted "in contexts of poverty, injustice and
social exclusion, due also to the instability generated by
party interests, often external, and by previous conflicts,
which produced miserable conditions of lifecultural
and spiritual deserts in which it is easy to manipulate
and instigate hatred." "Every day, your Churches are
close to suffering, called to sow concord and to patiently
reconstruct hope, comforting with the peace that comes
from the Lord, a peace that we are held to offer together
to a wounded and lacerated world," affirmed the Pontiff.
Pope Francis also hoped that they will be able to
continue "together" the "path towards that much awaited
day in which we will have the grace to celebrate the Lord's
Sacrifice at the same altar, as a sign of "fully re-established
ecclesial communion." In this context, he encouraged the
work of the Commission, set up in 2003, in the hope "that
your work can indicate precious ways for our course."
He added that "there is always a certainty, which is what
the Apostle Paul proclaimed: we Catholics and Eastern
Orthodox were baptised through one Spirit, and we belong
to one Body."
The martyrs, continued Pope Francis, are also "the point
of reference for the path towards full unity."
"As in the primitive Church the blood of martyrs was
the seed of new Christians, so today, may the blood of so
many martyrs be the seed of unity between believers, sign
and instrument of a future in communion and peace."

Pope: Consecrated life
should offer the "freshness"
of the Gospel
ASIANEWS.IT
Pope Francis spoke to the Plenary Session of the Congrega on
for Ins tutes of Consecrated Life and Socie es of Apostolic Life
on Jan. 28. In a world ruled by a culture of the transient and
money, consecrated persons should shy away from the "logic of
worldliness" and instead "maintain the freshness and novelty of
the centrality of Jesus"something to oer to young people.
Pope Francis pointed out that consecrated people must
maintain fidelity, even when it is tested. He noted that
sta s cs show that the Church is "haemorrhaging," which is
weakening consecrated life and the Church. Given the number
of dropouts, there is every reason to be very concerned, and
to wonder why it is happening.
First, he said, there are the factors that "aect fidelity in this
era of change." Indeed, "we live immersed in the so-called
culture of the fragment, the provisional, which can lead to living
'a la carte' and be slaves to trends. This culture induces the need
to have 'side doors' always open to other possibili es; it feeds
consumerism, and forgets the beauty of a simple and austere
life, and in many cases, causes an existen al void."
This "also produces a powerful prac cal rela vism, according
to which everything is judged in terms of a self-realisa on that is
o en extraneous to the values of the Gospel."
"We live," he added, "in a society where economic rules
replace those of morality; laws that dictate and impose their
own frames of reference at the expense of the values of life; a
society where the dictatorship of money and profit proposes a
vision of existence in which those who do not contribute to it
are discarded." In this situa on, "it is clear that we must first be
evangelised and then engage in evangelisa on."
Pope Francis then turned his thoughts to "the world of
youthcomplex, but at the same me rich and challenging". For
him, "there are many wonderful young people. Yet, even among
young people, many are the vic ms of the logic of worldliness,
which can be summarised as the quest for success at any price,
for easy money and for easy pleasure."
"This logic seduces many young people as well. We must
commit ourselves to stand by them, so as to infect them with
the joy of the Gospel and [a sense of] alia on with Christ.
This culture must be evangelised if we do not want young
people to succumb."

Mentally unstable man
vandalises crucifix
A statue of Lord Jesus Christ was found broken and smashed
by a stone in the Carter Road area of Bandra on Saturday,
Jan 28 morning. Residents said that they heard a noise and
woke up to see an inebriated man vandalising the statue;
and nabbed him and handed him over to the police. Khar
police, which detained the drunk, said that he was mentally
unstable, and hence, residents did not register a formal
complaint; rather, they remanded him to a shelter home.
According to Randel, a resident of the area, the incident
occurred at about 1:30 am on Saturday. "The statue of
Jesus is located at Carter Road promenade. There are some
fisherfolk who stay in the area, and they woke up after
hearing some noise. A man who seemed drunk was fiddling
with their equipment, and he had a stone in his hand," said
Randel. He added that they saw the broken statue of Christ
and chased the man. "We simultaneously informed the
police, and they came and took him away," said Randel.

Apparently, the mentally unstable man lives on the street,

Sacred Heart Church, Vashi
Sacred Heart Church, Vashi celebrated Family Day 2017 on
Sunday, January 8, 2017. The backdrop for the Mass - 'The Joy
of the Church is the Joy of the Family' and the stage backdrop
"Working Together, Building the Kingdom' conveyed the day's
message eloquently. The specially designed logo announced
'One Church, One Family'. The homily by the Parish Priest,
Fr Gerald Fernandes, set the tone for the day: fellowship,
togetherness, camaraderie, solidarity and companionship
were presented as the hallmark.
The piece de resistance of the event was the documentary
drama about the history of the Church. Spread over three
acts and ten scenes, spanning a me-line of more than four
decades, the impassioned performances by home-grown
talent had the 800+ strong audience riveted to their seats,
as the saga of the building of the Church and its community
of faithful unfolded before their eyes.
The drama was succeeded by an enthralling display of
line dancing by the children of Sacred Heart High School;
they had the audience spellbound with their superbly
orchestrated dance routines to foot-tapping music. Next
up were the silver-haired ladies of Silver Liners from the

Catholic Church endorses SC
order on marriage annulment
The Catholic Church has endorsed an Indian Supreme
Court (SC) order that invalidated Church courts (or
ecclesiastic tribunals) annulling marriage of a Catholic
couple here on January 30.
The President of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of
India (CCBI), Cardinal Oswald Gracias, said, "There is no
contradiction in the SC order, as we have been following
it even before." The prelate spoke at a press conference
organised at Pastoral Centre, Asha Niketan campus on the eve
of the 29th Plenary Assembly of the CCBI in Bhopal.
The week-long assembly will conclude on February 8 with
the elec on of new oce-bearers to head the Church body,
comprising 132 dioceses with 182 Bishops.
The prelate also made it clear that the annulment of the
marriages by the Church courts does not violate any civil law,
and hence, commits no oence.
The SC, in its January 19 order, declared the divorce granted
by the ecclesias cal tribunal under the Chris an Personal Law
as invalid, as it cannot override the laws of the land, while
dismissing a public interest li ga on (PIL) that sought direc on
to legalise the marriage annulment by the Church courts.
The bishops would chalk out an ac on plan to revitalise the
Family Apostolate in the Church in view of the theme of the
gathering: 'Promo ng the Joy of Love in our Families'.
Elabora ng on the theme further, Archbishop Cornelio said,
"We are not focusing only on Catholic families." The Church
always focused on the welfare and happiness of everyone,
irrespec ve of one's religious or linguis c dierences. "The
thrust areas of our discussion will revolve around helping
young couples cope with the dicul es of family life, and
leading an exemplary life, upbringing of children, loss of trust
among families, nuclear families among other things."
On insecurity among Chris ans, Bishop Cornelio said, "Fringe
groups a ack and threaten us, and the lethargy on the part of
the law-enforcing agencies is a cause of concern for us."
The Assembly began on January 31, with a solemn
Eucharistic celebration at Assumption Church, Asha
Niketan campus.

Rich-poor gap challenges
the Church
The gap between India's rich and poor is increasing rapidly,
according to a recent study which has led to Church leaders
to look again at their eorts to help the poor.
Anti-poverty advocacy group Oxfam recently found
that just one per cent of India's popula on owns 58 per
cent of the nation's wealth. In their report, released
Jan. 16, Oxfam said that 57 billionaires in India have the
same amount of wealth as the bo om 70 per cent of the
country's 1.2 billion people.
"India is hitting global headlines for many reasons,
but one of them is for being one of the most unequal
countries in the world, with a very high and sharply rising
concentra on of income and wealth," said Nisha Agrawal,
head of Oxfam in India, in a statement.
However, India's budget for 2017-18 provides a major
opportunity to reverse the trend "and to put in place
policies that will raise taxes in a more progressive way, and
to spend those on basic educa on and basic healthcare to
create a more equal opportunity country," Agrawal said.
A global issue
The 48-page report tled "An Economy for the 99 Per cent"
showed that the worldwide gap between rich and poor is far
greater than had been feared.
The nonprofit said that new and improved data on the
distribution of global wealthparticularly in India and
Chinaindicates that the poorest half of the world has less
wealth than had been previously thought. Eight men own
the same wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up the
poorest half of humanity, said Oxfam about the report's
findings. Oxfam International Executive Director Winnie
Byanyima said that it is "obscene for so much wealth to be
held in the hands of so few, when 1 in 10 people survive on
less than US $2 a day." She added that inequality is trapping
hundreds of millions in poverty, fracturing our socie es and
undermining democracy.

Film on martyr gets 6 lakh
views on Facebook in two days
A specially made short film on martyr Havildar Hangpan
Dada, awarded the Ashok Chakra posthumously on Republic
Day, got six lakh views in just two days, a er it was uploaded
on the Indian Army's Facebook page. The film is tled 'The
Warrior's Spirit'.
 The Army uploaded the movie on Republic Day morning
on its ADGPI Facebook page. The 20-minute ac on-packed
film is based on the events of May 26, 2016, leading to the
martyrdom of the soldier in Kupwara district in Kashmir. The
film has interviews with Dada's wife, brother, son, school
friend, army ocers and fellow soldiers from Rashtriya Rifles
and Fr Pradeep of Don Bosco Church in Borduria village in
Arunachal Pradesh, where he used to go for mass.
A Lt Col-rank ocer told Times of India over phone, "This
is a unique film which shows the courage of the soldiers of
the Indian Army. Despite hailing from a remote village in the
northeastern state, Dada was determined to fight for the
country in extreme condi ons. And he did not hesitate to
sacrifice his life for the na on."
Philip Lishi, one of the viewers, posted a comment on the
video, "Thanks for making the people of Arunachal Pradesh
feel proud with your brave sacrifice for our country. Now no
one will discriminate against us, or call us Chinese."
Over 17,000 people have shared this video in just two
days. Besides, the film has got thousands of comments from
viewers. The touching aspect of the film is when the martyr's
son expresses his desire to become an army ocer in future.
Commen ng on the movie, an ocer from Army HQ, Delhi
told Times of India over phone, "The movie has been specially
made by the 4 Assam Regiment to pay tribute to the martyr
in a unique way. The movie will remind people of Dada's
supreme sacrifice for the na on forever."
The brave solider was born on October 2, 1979 in Borduria
village in Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh. He was from
4 Assam Regiment. While being deployed in a high al tude
area on pos ng in Kupwara district, Dada, in a hand to hand
combat, eliminated three terrorists single-handedly.
Undeterred by the grave injury, he fought on, and was
instrumental in eliminating the fourth terrorist who was
trying to infiltrate. In the process, he laid down his life.
On Republic Day this year, President Pranab Mukherjee
awarded the Ashok Chakra, India's highest gallantry
award in peacetime, to Havaldar Hangpan Dada of the

Bishops strongly oppose
Mexico wall, deportations
President Donald Trump issued an executive order to
construct a wall at the US-Mexico border, to significantly
increase immigrant detention and deportation, and to
disregard the judgement of state and local law enforcement
on how best to protect their communi es. The US-Mexico
border, spanning approximately 2000 miles, already has
roughly 700 miles of fencing and barriers constructed under
the George W Bush administra on.
In response to the news, Bishop Joe Vasquez, Chair of the
Commi ee of Migra on and Bishop of the Diocese of Aus n,
said: "I am disheartened that the President has prioritised
building a wall on our border with Mexico. This ac on will put
immigrant lives needlessly in harm's way. Construc on of such
a wall will only make migrants, especially vulnerable women
and children, more suscep ble to trackers and smugglers.
Addi onally, the construc on of such a wall destabilises the
many vibrant and beautifully interconnected communities
that live peacefully along the border. Instead of building walls,
at this me, my brother bishops and I will con nue to follow
the example of Pope Francis. We will "look to build bridges
between people, bridges that allow us to break down the walls
of exclusion and exploita on.""
In regard to the announcement of the planned surge in
immigrant deten on and deporta on forces, Bishop Vasquez
added: "The announced increase in immigrant deten on space
and immigration enforcement activities is alarming. It will
tear families apart, and spark fear and panic in communi es.
While we respect the right of our federal government to
control our borders and ensure security for all Americans,
we do not believe that a large scale escala on of immigrant
detention and intensive increased use of enforcement in
immigrant communities is the way to achieve those goals.
Instead, we remain firm in our commitment to comprehensive,
compassionate, and commonsense reform. We fear that the
policies announced today will make it much more dicult for
the vulnerable to access protec on in our country."
Moving forward a er the announcement, Bishop Vasquez
noted: "We will continue to support and stand in solidarity
with immigrant families. We remind our communi es and our
na on that these families have intrinsic value as children of
God. And to all those impacted by today's decision, we are here
to walk with you and accompany you on this journey."

Shocking prison suicide
numbers need Govt action
Bishop Richard Moth has called on government to
redouble its eorts on prison reform, following the report
from the Ministry of Jus ce, sta ng that suicides in prisons
across England and Wales reached their highest ever
number last year.
Describing the 119 self-inflicted deaths, 37,784 self-
harm incidents and 25,049 assault incidents as shocking
and unacceptable, Bishop Moth said staff shortages and
overcrowding were major contributing factors. Last year,
thousands of staff walked out in protest over health
and safety concerns, and a number of jails underwent
serious disturbances.
Bishop Moth said: "Today's statistics on suicide and
self-harm in prison are shocking. Each death represents
a tragedy for the person themselves, their family and
the prison sta who try to help. Allowing our prisons to
get to this stage is unacceptable. Overcrowding and sta
shortages are a major contribu ng factor. This needs to
be addressed urgently. We have to ensure proper and
necessary care is available to those with mental health
issues in our prison system."
"Dostoevsky wrote that the degree of civilisation in
a society can be judged by entering its prisons. It is the
responsibility of all of us to tackle this situation. We call
again on the government to move as quickly as possible
on its reform agenda for our prisons. Meanwhile, through
our dedicated chaplains and volunteers, the Church will
con nue to support vulnerable prisoners by working with
the government and those responsible for the running of
our prisons."

IRAQ
Jihadists used church as a
shooting range
Iraqi Christians returning to their homelands trashed by
Daesh (ISIS) have described the horror of finding their
houses burnt and their churches desecrated.
Speaking to 'Aid to the Church in Need', eye witnesses
reported the destruc on caused by the jihadists, and how
church statues were beheaded, and mannequins from a
clothes shop were used for shoo ng prac ce.
Manal Matti used to run a beauty salon near the now
fire-damaged Church of the Immaculate Conception in
Qaraqosh, the largest Chris an town in the Nineveh Plains.
Speaking a er a visit to the church, she said: "The jihadists
used the church as a shoo ng range, and the mannequins
as targets. The mannequins are completely riddled with
bullets." She added: "I do not know when I will ever be
able to see the inhabitants of Qaraqosh coming again to my
beauty salon."
ACN reports show that Qaraqosh's St George's Syriac
Catholic Church was used by Daesh as an improvised bomb
factory, and contained hundreds of bombs and grenades.
The extremists also wrote battle plans on church walls,
and chemicals were found in the building together with
instruc ons on how to mix them into explosives.
Louis Petrus (another Christian who returned to
Qaraqosh) had fled when Daesh invaded on August 6, 2014.
He said: "My house is damaged; most of my furniture has

Pope orders fresh review of
liturgical translations
Pope Francis has ordered a new review of the principles
that guide transla ons of the liturgy, America magazine
has confirmed.
The Pope reportedly formed a Commission to review
Liturgiam Authenticam, the document issued by the
Va can in 2001 that called for liturgical transla ons that
adhered closely to the La n of the Roman Missal. That
document, which led to a new and more accurate English
transla on of liturgy, has con nued to draw cri cism from
liturgists who favour a more "crea ve" interpreta on of
the language of the Mass.
The Pope's decision to launch such a review has been
widely rumoured, but never officially announced. The
Commission has not yet met, America reports, nor has
the list of its members been made public. However, it will
be chaired by Archbishop Arthur Roche, the secretary of
the Congrega on for Divine Worshiprather than by that
congrega on's prefect, Cardinal Robert Sarah, who is known
to favour a more conserva ve approach.

Pope prays for Chile victims
Pope Francis has sent a le er to the people of Chile, oered
prayers and met with the Apostolic Nuncio to the South
American country, Archbishop Ivo Scapolo, as wildfires
con nue to wipe out en re towns and force hundreds of
thousands to flee their homes.
So far, 10 people have been killed (including one
NEWS INTERNATIONAL
firefighter) as Chile ba les with the worst wildfires in its
history: more than 120 separate fires are raging, destroying
about 385,000 acres of forest. The fires have been raging
in central and southern Chile, fanned by strong winds, hot
temperatures and a prolonged drought. Emergency services
have ba led the flames non-stop for days, with thousands
of firefighters on the ground and helicopters and small
airplanes in the air. The le er, sent on behalf of the Holy
Father by Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to the
president of the Chile bishops' conference, conveys Pope
Francis' condolences for the deceased and their families in
"this beloved country."
Pope Francis conveyed "his condolences to the families
of the victims and expressed his spiritual closeness to
the wounded, and those who suer the consequences of
this catastrophe."

"Remember the Holocaust"
Pope Francis met with a delega on from the European Jewish
Congress on the Interna onal Holocaust Memorial Day, which
occurs annually on January 27. The Secretary of the Pon fical
Commission for Religious Rela ons with the Jews, Salesian Fr
Norbert Hofmann, was present at the mee ng.
In an interview with Vacan Radio, Fr Hofmann said, "The
Pope began the dialogue by men oning the importance of
this Day for the Jews, but also for us, because remembering
the victims of the Holocaust is important, so that this
human tragedy never happens again."
The delegation represents more than two million Jews
in Europe. Fr Hofmann said the President of the Congress,
Moshe Kantor, spoke about "the importance of ethics, that
is, of the values which Chris ans and Jews have in common.
He said that in our world, we see much progress, but also a
decline in moral and ethical values. Therefore, we need to
strengthen these values which we share. And then he spoke
about the importance of educa on and the family."
Pope Francis agreed completely with these themes and
shared a story from his childhood, Fr Hofmann said. "The
Pope said that, in his family, his father o en received Jews...
and thus, already as a child, our Pope learned to have
several Jewish friends."

LETTERS TO
EDITOR
THE
Bombay blessed with two
new bishops
Sir, On Saturday, Jan 28, 2017, the archdiocese of Bombay
witnessed the ordina on of two new auxiliary bishops. The
archdiocese is now blessed with four auxiliary bishops and
three very ac ve (re red) bishops to assist Cardinal Oswald
Graciasa total of eight members in the hierarchy of the
archdiocese, which is much more than any other in the
country. We thank the Holy Father for blessing us with two
new bishops, and Cardinal Oswald Gracias for bringing honour
to our archdiocese.
As a parishioner from the suburbs of Mumbai, I would
like to make a sugges on. The last three decades or so has
witnessed a huge demographic shi of parishioners from
South Mumbai to North Mumbai. Thirty-five years ago, Mira
Road did not have a single priest. Today, it is the largest parish
in the archdiocese! Borivli, Malad and Thane too are among
the most populous parishes in the archdiocese. Hopefully,
Cardinal Oswald Gracias will consider giving these areas a
Bishop with permanent residence. It is reported that the two
new bishops will con nue to serve their exis ng parishes ll
May 2017. Hopefully, one of them will be allowed to con nue
serving permanently in the suburbs.
In this context, it is per nent to note that Pope Francis
has bucked tradition by appointing a large number of
cardinals from all con nents, so as to make the Church more
representa ve of its flock. Bishops too are being appointed
across the world for the same reasonso that the shepherd
may be nearer to his flock.
Prof Robert Castellino, Orlem
March for Life!
Sir, A 9-Day March for Life (January 21-29), was organised
by the United States Bishops' Commi ee (USBC) on Pro-Life
Ac vi es, an annual feature. Thousands of families across
the US paraded, with women carrying placards, "I Regret
my Abor on."
The theme: 'The Power of One' drawn from the movie,
'The Fellowship of the Ring', from its quote: "Even the Smallest
Person can Change the Course of the Future!" I sincerely hope
that our laity and Church authori es will conduct prayers,
novenas and walks for the unborn, disabled and the dying,
especially on March 25 - 'Pro-Life Day'!
Since 1973, a er the notorious Roe v/s Wade case, the
US Supreme Court had legalised abortion. The 'National
30 THE EXAMINER FEB 04 - 10, 2017
Right to Life' es mates that nearly 58 million abor ons have
been performed to date. In India, because of 'Sex Selec ve
Abortions' i.e. female foeticide and illegal abortions, the
number of abortions are pegged at 6.4 million annually,
according to reliable sources.
Pro-Life is about cherishing and protec ng human life at
every stage and in every circumstance: right from natural
concep on to natural death. It also means opposing the
scourge of euthanasia or mercy killing! Because human
beings reflect the image of God, and are called to an eternal
des ny with Him.
President Donald Trump in his first Executive order on
January 23, 2017, blocked Federal funds that provide abor on
facili es for women overseas. Remember, "God from my
mother's womb had set me apart, and called me through His
grace." (Gala ans 1:15)
Dr Trevor Colaso, Bandra (W)
The Don Bosco Issue of
The Examiner
Sir, I must compliment you on a beau fully brought out issue of
The Examiner (Jan 28, 2017) featuring as its central theme The
Don Bosco Religious Community in India. The Editorial (wri en
by the Provincial of the Salesians in Mumbai) struck the right
note, with the emphasis on the family, whether it is in the home,
school or the community. He makes a right diagnosis that our
ills today stem from the absence of the feeling of belonging to a
family. People are alone, even in the midst of the congrega on
in church. The Salesians are working to remove this.
The other piece of wri ng which I found makes an impact
was the ar cle 'The journey to priesthood' by Karen Laurie,
spokeswoman for the news agency of the Salesians. She gives
thumbnail sketches of the five new priests of Don Bosco,
ordained in December 2016. She has portrayed them as normal
healthy individuals, with all their faults and foibles. They should
make excellent priests who can iden fy with the people they
work for. In a way, this ar cle is an invita on for young men to
join the ranks of the Salesians or any other group of religious.
But there is no evidence of any hard sell in the ideas expressed.
If any youth is s ll si ng on the fence, the ar cle should give
him/her the right orienta on to enter the religious life. It is a
tough decision, I suppose. I am reminded of the famous words
of Abraham Maslow, management theorist known for his theory
on the hierarchy of needs in mo va on. "What a man can be,
he must be." I don't think he had religious voca ons in mind
when he made the statement, but it applies to the priesthood
certainly. If a man finds himself drawn to a par cular field,
whether it be in the arts, sciences, professions etc., if he has
a feeling for a par cular voca on, he cannot rest un l he has
fulfilled himself in that par cular field, using all the gi s that
the Good Lord has endowed him with. Hence the saying "What
a man can be, he must be." I believe he cannot be thwarted in
the pursuit of this objec ve. In the case of youngsters op ng for
the religious life, parents will have to go along with the wishes
of the individual concerned, regardless of what plans they may
have had for their ospring.
Albert C deSouza, Bandra
Enlighten the darkness
Sir, The mo o of St Andrew's College, Bandra is 'Enlighten the
Darkness'. That's exactly what the students of the College set
out to do on January 25, when they staged the original musical
'A Streak of Blue' based on the life of St Mother Teresa at St
Andrew's Auditorium, under the able leadership of Fr Magi
Murzello, who is the Principal of St Andrew's School and Rector
of St Andrew's College.
While the students of the College formed the main actors,
singers and choir, they were supported by dancers from
St Andrew's School and Apostolic Carmel Convent. There
was never a dull moment, as the young cast enacted the
life of Mother Teresa, and stressed her message of loving
and allevia ng the lot of lepers and society's marginalised,
irrespec ve of caste or creed. The 'dance of the lepers' was
par cularly good, and so were the performances of the
soloists. The cast invited the audience to join hands and
sing the beau ful hymn 'Make Me a Channel of Your Peace'
along with them.
It was an evening well spent, and I do hope that the young
cast will put up more such performances in future.
Monica Fernandes, Bandra (W)
Act against Corruption
Sir, ACT 21 of 2006this could be our Gandhi S ck. We dream
of a future following a few thousand cases of ac on against the
erring personnel in the dierent Government departments,
thereby disciplining the rest to become more du ful and
conscien ous workers for the Public Good.
This future will come forth from our present, if thousands
write le ers on Misgovernance and Corrup on. Act 21 of 2006
becomes a more powerful weapon in the hands of the ci zens
of Mumbai, because it demands a response from those who
govern. The governance characterised by silence on the work
not done can no longer be covered under rolls of red tape.
Respond, they must, to the ques ons of the ci zens.
Every le er wri en on the short tenure of an upright ocer,
non-commitment on service, and delays will shorten the gap
between the ci zens and the Government.
The few thousands who step forward to write on the
website of the Government will have a band of men file the
RTI, if the portal becomes another black hole in our galaxy
of Governance.
Once, the Middle Class gathered in Mumbai a century and
LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
some years ago to aspire for self-governance. Today, Act
21 of 2006 could bring out the harassed pensioner, the
hassled housewife, and all our laxmans (The middle class, so
beau fully sketched in our minds by late Mr R.K. Laxman) to
write to the mantri's layers and ques on Why.
We had a Gandhi then, but the s ck was held by a child. The
Na on now is like an aged man, le with nothing but Gandhi's
S ck in his hand.
A small beginning is being made by approaching the children
once again. This me, a child will lead us from the cocoons of
our homes to the polling booths on Tuesday, February 21. Once
we press the bu on to choose a good candidate to represent
us in the august hall of the Municipal Corpora on of Greater
Mumbai, we will have started the process to bring about a
physical transforma on to our great city.
The Children's Crusade of AGNI, now fully supported by the
Archdiocesan Board of Educa on, Mumbai for its 150 schools
(with an average of 2000 students each) is gathering steam.
Other School Boards are being approached for AGNI's poster
and audio-visual presenta ons.
This first essen al step to hold our children's hands and be
led to the polling booth will rekindle the Spirit of Freedom that
once saw this sleeping na on arise to take hold of its des ny.
The s ck that will remain much a er the elec ons will be Act
21 of 2006, that every Mumbaikar must use to bring back this
Great City on its feet.
