The Archangels

admin Pormoll

On 30thSeptember, the Church celebrates the feast of the Archangels. The existence of these spiritual, non-corporal beings, that sacred scripture usually calls “angels” is a truth of faith.

Who are Angels? ‘Angel’ is the name of their office not of their nature. If you seek the name of their office, it is Angel, that is what they do. If it is their nature, it is spirit that is what they are with their whole beings. The angels are servants and messengers of God. They were created by Him at the dawn of time for the purpose of being His servants and messengers. They have forever contemplated the face of God and are ready to rush to His command as attentive listeners and executors of His word. Read more

In India we celebrate 5th of September as ‘Teachers’ Day’, in remembrance of the birth anniversary of a scholar, a great teacher and the former second President of India Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. This day is also dedicated to all our doting teachers.

My Anguish as a Teacher through a Pandemic

When we were barely getting aware of the Corona virus outbreak in China, in January 2020, little did we know that soon the so called virus would eventually engulf the whole Earth. It did and it did so calamitously! The world’s economy came to an instantaneous standstill and along with it all the livelihoods. Undeniably, every work sector has been on a real downer and so has been my job as a teacher. Read more

From the Teacher’s Heart

admin St. Sebastian School, Pormoll

–Teachers of St. Sebastian English Primary School, Aquem

I am filled with gratitude to the Almighty for the four decades and more in the teaching profession which to me was a vocation. A teacher is not a teacher by choice but a call to serve and nurture the young minds. There could be no other profession that can surpass the role of a teacher; for a teacher is an embodiment of values, knowledge, talents and a repository of love and compassion. No two days at the school are similar as each is tailored to suit the anxious tender minds of the students at different stages.
This is what makes the life of a teacher challenging and yet exciting and wanting to do more as there is no limit as to how much!
As l recall my life at school, it has been nothing short of a rewarding career, an eventful journey filled with sweet memories.
