Observance of a Month of Prayer for the Success of the Synod Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Second Session of the XXIX Synod of the Syro-Malabar Bishops will be held online from 16 to 27 August 2021. Sixty two Bishops of the Church – from the 13 Eparchies in Kerala, 18 Eparchies outside Kerala in India, four Eparchies outside India, the Apostolic Visitation in Europe and 16 Bishops Emeriti - will be participating in this Synod. The Synods of 2020 August and of 2021 January were held online because of Covid -19. The Decision to hold online this Session of the Synod was made because of the restrictions on travel imposed due to the spread of Covid pandemic. The Holy See has given recently approval to the revised text of our Holy Qurbana. The Holy Father has made a special exhortation through the Apostolic Letter dated 3 July 2021, for the celebration of the Holy Qurbana uniformly in all Eparchies and religious houses, on the occasion of the promulgation of the revised text. The date of implementation of this exhortation of the Holy Father will be decided in the Synod to be held in August. The prayers of all are requested for taking appropriate decisions for the implementation of the appeal for unity at all levels of the Church and for deepening the spirit of evangelization of our Church. All are requested, hence, to observe a month of prayer from 27 July 2021 to 27 August 2021, the concluding day of the Synod. Also, those who can, are encouraged to observe all the Fridays during this month as days of fasting. In the letter sent to our Church by the Holy Father, he has asked us to pray for him. We shall offer our prayers for his good health to lead the Church with full zeal and enthusiasm and also for his full recovery from the surgery he underwent recently. May the grace and mercy of the Lord be showered upon our Church always and especially at the time of the Synod throu Mary, of St. Joseph, of St. Thomas, the Apostle of India and of the Saints and the Blesseds of our Church! Yours cordially in Christ, Cardinal George Alencherry Major Archbishop of the Syro

4 Ways Mary Found God in the Everyday When we want to know God and love him better, we should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary loves God with perfection! In this article, we talk about four ways Mary connected with God in the everyday and consider how we can do the same. [Written by: Danielle Bean] 1. Mary found God in moments of beauty and joy. And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. – Luke 2:16-19 2. Mary found God in moments of pain and confusion. And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.” And he said to them, “How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. – Luke 2:48-51 3. Mary found God in meeting the needs of others. On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him. – John 2: 1-11 4. Mary found God in moments of quiet prayer. And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. – Matthew 6:5-6
