Indulgences

We have heard a lot about Indulgences or Indulgence. Sometimes we read about it in the Catholic magazines, Holy pictures or even the Priests speak about it in their homilies.

Editorial – October 2024

We are moving into the tenth month of the year, October, which is the time for festivals and celebrations, specially in India, as we prepare ourselves for some of the most significant events of the year. It is also a month with many national and international observances, most important amongst them being the Gandhi Jayanti, celebrated on 2nd October to honour our Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of non-violence and peace. It is also known as the International Day of Non-violence. We are always encouraged to be non violent because non violence has proved that it is a good enough weapon to achieve victories like we did at the time of India’s freedom struggle.

Faith at Home: How Our Lady’s Visit Inspires and Transforms

Our Lady of Fatima refers to the Virgin Mary appearing to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. She gave them messages about praying, repenting, and living better lives. These messages were about finding peace and turning back to God. Since then, the message of Fatima has spread around the world and inspired many people.
Bringing a statue of Our Lady into our homes is a way to keep her messages close. During such visits, the statue is honored with prayers and songs. This practice helps bring the spirit of Fatima directly into our homes and hearts.

Families come together to pray, reflect, and renew their commitment to living according to their faith. It shows that faith should be part of everyday life, not just something that happens at church.
Building Community
The visit also helps strengthen family and community bonds. When we participate together in honoring Our Lady, it brings us closer as a family and as a community. It reminds us that faith is a shared experience and encourages us to support each other.

Having her statue in our home encourages us to think about our lives and make positive changes. It’s a reminder to seek forgiveness, work on personal struggles, and live according to Christian values.
