Many of us could be aware through medical practitioners and  nutritionists, that as soon as we wake up in the morning, 2 or more glasses of lukewarm water need to be consumed at a stretch. This assists the movement of the bowel, cleansing of the Large Intestine and helps prevent some kidney ailments, which are on the rise in Goa. This article is written because two new toilets are constructed in the Church premises and they are ready for use from July 1st.  In the past, there were no toilets for the use of Parishioners. Therefore, it is likely that adults & catechism students came for Mass without drinking water or drank very little water. Sometimes programmes are held that last for 2 or more hrs. A member of my family who practices Water Therapy does not practice it on days when attends morning Mass. So, now that there are 2 toilets, there is no reason to avoid this healthy practice by students and adults. Many of us could be aware through medical practitioners and  nutritionists, that as soon as we wake up in the morning, 2 or more glasses of lukewarm water need to be consumed at a stretch.

Our body, mind and spirit, belongs to God and we are required to take care of it. This is part of loving the self with constructive self-love as opposed to destructive self- love. Those who do not practice water therapy in the morning, kindly start now. It is only appropriate that we take this opportunity to thank our Parish Priest Fr. Andrew Pereira for constructing 2 toilets for us. I am sure, many others will join me to thank him. The construction and all the necessary fittings inside are of high quality and they also look beautiful. Thank you very much father. We also thank Fr. Gregorio and others who rendered a  helping hand.
