FROM THE PP's DESK:

Fond Memories Fr. Nevel L.S. Gracias, PARISH PRIEST In May 2014, I was completing five years as Assistant Director of Diocesan Centre of Lay Apostolate Panjim, and Editor of JIVITACHO PROKAS a small booklet on biblical reflections in konkani. During my tenure, I tried to improve the standard of this booklet based on the Word of God. After five years I informed my authorities to transfer me anywhere so that I could do s o m ething for the Lord inspite of my handicapped nature. The parish of St. Diogo was vacant. I was offered the post of the Parish Priest with the assurance that I don't have to climb steps and there will be an Assistant Parish Priest. After a little thought and reflection, keeping my faith in the Lord, I accepted this challenge.

I can sincerely say that I worked with love and dedication in this parish, whatever little good I could do, I did it with the help of my close collaborators I used my talents and abilities to the full and shared them for the welfare of the parish. There were a few years more left for me to complete my tenure, but my health doesn't permit me to continue although the desire to continue was very strong.

I was obedient to the wishes of my superiors, and hence I have to go. Some parishioners want things their way. Because of my strict disciplined nature, may be some are hurt with my few decisions, which I had to take for the welfare of the parish. But here, I have enjoyed each and every moment and I experienced your love during my sickness your consolation during my mother's death, and happiness when I celebrated twenty five years of my priesthood in this parish.

Inspite of being physically strong, mentally able, spiritually always trusting in the Lord and emotionally tough, recollecting the fond memories, I have shared with you, I get emotionally choked up as I pen these few lines in gratitude I won't be far from here, but on the 'chodd'tter' in the Clergy Home at Porvorim, making use of my writing abilities and talents and doing my bit to proclaim my Lord and my God.Guirim church and st. dogoTill we meet again‌adeus!

With much love and prayers.

With A Grateful Heart -Fr. Oliver Fernandes

It gives me joy and happiness as I write these few lines expressing my love and gratitude.

First and formos I give thanks to Abba, my loving God, for sending me to this parish of Guirim-Sangolda dedicated to St. Diogo, and blessing me with good health, peace of mind and generosity of heart during my four year tenure here in the parish.

I am grateful to my Parish Priest, who taught me a few things with his loving and caring attitude and life fully dedicated to the Lord and his people.

God has given me the gift to preach the Word of God, and I am fortunate to have Fr. Nevel who gave me full freedom to exercise my ministry in this Church.

With this ministry, I tried to touch lives of many and help them in their renewal.

I sincerely thank all the Church Staff and all the parishioners for acceping me and helping me to work in this parish with love. I am also thankful to my close collaborators who were with me while exercising my ministry.

Keep me in your prayers as I step in Our Lady of Piety Church PiedadeDivar as an Assistan Parish Priest.

Thanks and God bless!

Fr. Oliver Fernandes

Father dear, you were my support I am deeply grateful to you Fr. Oliver for being with me during our four years tenure to this parish. You were my extended legs and hands, doing for me which I couldn't do, encouraging me to work for the parish, giving me support when things were not going as the Lord wanted, always co-operative in the programmes of the parish.

God has blessed you immensely. If you remain faithful to the Lord in prayers and service, you can work wonders with your positive preaching and a matured life fully dedicated o the Lord and you will truly be an asset to the Archdiocese.

May our good Lord bless your generous heart and keep you happy always!

Witness To Jesus Christ -Lourenco Mendonca From our baptism onwards, through all the sacraments we are called to the three fold mission of Jesus . Again and again Jesus reminds us to go forth and proclaim the good news. Salvation is at hand and up for grabs for those who have faith and believe in Him. Human beings are blessed with many attributes, both positive and negative. To fail is human and negativity shows in a flourish within us. The most common of the many is greed, for power. We use it liberally to show we are strong and seek to suppress the weak. And destroy the good name of others. And run some innocent soul down in public. And abuse and bear false witness against others without any rhyme or reason.

Greed to acquire what belongs to others. No scruples at all. Dare to challenge the ignorant and widows. Falsify documents, pay bribes to justify.

Continuously repeating lies do not make it a truth. Deception is all pervasive in society.

We go to the confessional to ask of the Lord for forgiveness. Sometimes regularly. Yet we repeat our transgressions. Habitual omission and commission and living in default is no way to seek the graces of God. Repentance from the heart leads to humility and kindness. In a state of grace, the Holy Spirit guides and controls our senses and emotions. Alerts us in case we tend to fail. And most importantly, prompts us to the right path. It is good to remain tuned in to the Spirit all the time. Acts of mercy, brotherhood, fraternal corrections and being of one heart and one mind germinate in us, our families and society at large.Picture of jesusRest assured, we will be like the twinkling stars to all around us. Could we say no to temptation today. Let's start with a prayer. The Word of God will show us the path to being witness to Jesus Christ in society and the Church.

KONKNNI ULOI‌KONKNNI Konknni amchi mai-bhas. Niz Goykar ti mogan uloita ani ticho prochar korta. Aiz todde Goykar konknni ulounk tancho dorzo denvta, oxem somzotat. Ani aplia bhurgeank inglezin vaddoitat. Khoimchea kon'xak ek Goykar pavot, konknni uloita tedna to Goykar mhonn taka vollkhotat.

Mayacho Mhoino

Our Sun

The glorious sun, After earthly work done, Amidst crimson skies, Peacefully dives.

I still stroll the shore, Think of sun much more; Daily riding sky, Emit rays from so high.

All that has a beginning Alas! Has its ending; Will any soul be left?

To mourn the last sunset?

Mystery looms of doomsday, Only God knows His way.

Oh Sun! be immortal, To save creatures from mortal.
