 Message From pope
Dear Faithful,

At this time when so many in India are suffering as a result of the

present health emergency, I am writing to convey my heartfelt
solidarity and spiritual closeness to all the Indian people, together
with the assurance of my prayers that God will grant healing and
consolation to everyone affected by this grave pandemic.
My thoughts go above all to the sick and their families, to those who
care for them, and in particular, to those who are mourning the loss
of their loved ones. I think too of the many doctors, nurses, hospital
workers, ambulance drivers and those working tirelessly to respond
to the immediate needs of their brothers and sisters. With deep
appreciation I invoke upon all of them God’s gifts of perseverance,
strength and peace.
In a particular way, I am united to the Catholic community in your
country, with gratitude for its works of charity and fraternal
solidarity carried out in the service of all; I think especially of the
generosity shown by so many committed young people. I join you in
commending to the Lord’s infinite mercy the faithful who have lost
their lives, not least the great numbers of priests and men and women
religious. In these days of immense grief, may we all be consoled in
the hope born of Easter and our unshakeable faith in Christ’s promise
of resurrection and new life. To all I send my blessing.
Rome, from Saint John Lateran, 29 May 2021
Fraternally,

Dear Readers,

When you find your God you will find a lot of meaning for
everything whether good or bad happens in your life. Jesus said I
have overcome the world. Try to overcome the world by your
personal Prayer Personal Meditation and personal contemplation in
finding your God and stabilize in your life.
Bear much fruits, that our father in heaven may be glorified.  We
are all called not as slaves or workers but we are all called as
friends of Jesus. The relationship between Jesus is that we are
brothers, sisters and friends. The purpose of our calling is to bear
much fruits.
We belong to the Kingdom of God. In your prayer find, you be with
the father. We belong to the Kingdom of the father not to the evil
world it does not mean the world is evil.  World is not evil but in
the world there are evil people and evil situations who have twisted
the truth into lies. Light into darkness and life into death.  So
always, do not look for everything to be as perfect as you wish.
Their own be and never and ever completely what you think. The
World belongs to God and we belong to God. So remember and
keep yourselves safe and Keep praying. Jesus always gathered the
people together and to keep them near together but even then out of
the twelve one was lost. Whom he calls the son of destruction. Be
content, happy and thanking God the father for the gift of making
us to be his children and the members of his own Kingdom. Where
there is peace and Joy but not without Suffering.

[Founder of DMI & MMI]

 Message from General

Dear Sisters in Jesus Christ,

Greetings in the name of the Lord!

Every one of us is endowed with the gift of life to live as human beings, and we
have the power to enjoy the richer and more meaningful life than what most
others experience usually.
The power is within, lying dormant. We do not have to wriggle and struggle
through life if we know how to live this gift of life. All we need to know is to
become aware of what we are, recognize the mental wealth hidden within us and
muster the willingness to blossom forth as joyful human beings.
Bhante Y. Wimala would say, “It is fascinating to be a human being, and each of
us is a miracle. In the magnificent, complex architecture of life in this planet,
human life is like the rising sun. The glorious essence of human being is always
present within each of us, just like the sun, even though sometimes it cannot be
seen. To reach it, we need to work on overcoming what stands in between.”
Life is a mystery, which unfolds gradually. There are times we are confused and
puzzled. However, there are also definite moments of illumination and
enlightenment. The mystery of life cannot be fully comprehended by one in
isolation. Hence, each of us needs to be assisted by those around us to
understand and appreciate the mystery of life.
May the Almighty God bless all of us!

With Love and Prayers,

Sr.S.Lalitha, DMI
