Pormoll Editorial – July 2018

The rainy season has begun well in June and hopefully it will continue regularly in the month of July.
The school students have begun their academic year and getting acclimatized to the new class. They have entered into higher level books and study hours along with home-works. If the student studies well and regularly in the beginning of the year he or she will surely succeed. Monsoon is a good time to plant some flowering or fruit bearing plants.

My first day at School

I was filled with excitement as I wondered what my First Day at School would be – new books, new friends, new teachers, new classroom and to crown it all the new season!

Waking up earlier than otherwise I rushed with the routine to be early to school. To my surprise the school was all decked up with the words ‘WELCOME to the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL’. What Joy! It was a different air! Everyone around appeared cheerful as if longing  to be back to our second home to learn, to play, to laugh and acquire the needed values to be imparted to us by our much loved teachers. The school assembly was meaningful with the prayer for a fruitful and joyful year ahead.

  • Is the victim obliged to forgive, if the Offender does not repent?
  • If the victim forgives the unapologetic offender, should the victim say to the Offender, “I forgive you?”

Let us refer to LK. 17: 3 to 4.

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY

Each year the Roman Catholic Church commemorates the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne on July 26th. They were the privileged parents of Mary who grew in grace and God’s favour to give birth to the incarnate Son of God. Undoubtedly, their faith in God laid the foundation for her to accept God’s will in her life. Saints Joachim and Anne are the patron saints of grandparents and serve as great models of faith for families as well.

Journey as a PPC member

The knock on my door came around four years back, by one of the PPC members requesting me to join the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC). I politely declined the request informing that it wasn’t for me as I may not be able to carry out the responsibilities. But, the then Parish Priest Fr. Ligorinho asked me why I wasn’t interested in taking up as a member of the PPC. I was quick enough to let him know my fears.

After listening to me he replied “God is there watching and He will give you all the help you need, do it for Him and His people, and we are here to assist you.” these words helped me to take up this responsibility with faith and courage.

Gardening is my hobby

Gardening is the hobby of growing and cultivating plants and be a part of horticulture. In gardens, if ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance, useful plants, such as root vegetables, leafy vegetables, fruits and herbs are grown for consumption, for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Gardening is considered by many people to be a relaxing activity. Gardening may be very specialized, with only one type of plant grown, or involve a large number of different plants in mixed plantings. Gardening is a relaxing hobby that can be enjoyed by people from any age group. A person may like gardening because he likes the feeling of earth on his palms.
