“Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets he has spoken to us by a Son…” Hebrew 1:1-2 Brothers and sisters, amidst of fear of the second wave of covid-19, God brings us hope and says do not be afraid you are worth more than hun-dreds of sparrows. To confirm it God has shown his graciousness on a young man named Carlo Acutis who was beatified in Rome on 10th of October 2020. Amidst fear, anxiety and restlessness of our hearts; God chose to reveal his message through Carlo Acutis who loved the Eucha-rist and was devoted to the Rosary very profoundly. As this month is dedicated as Rosary month we need to pray earnestly to our Lady in our difficulties and struggles. Carlo Acutis lived for God. For the first time in history we will see a saint dressed in jeans, sneakers and a sweater. This is a great message for us, we can feel holiness not as a distance thing but something very much within everyone’s reach because the Lord is the Lord of everyone. Carlo was known for his love of computer programming, devotion to our Lady and the Eucharist. Like teenagers today, Acutis was an ordinary modern kid who watched cartoons and used internet and desired holiness with all his heart. This is why many people loved him because he shows us that holiness is possible. We re-member that 40 teenagers of our parish have received the sacrament of confirmation which is again tangible sign of moving towards holiness. Let us march towards holiness. “Look to him, and be radiant; so your face shall never be ashamed.” Psalm 34:5 Thank you

May God Bless You Fr. Sanjeeb
