NOVEMBER 2014 Archdiocesan News Letter NOVEMBER 2014 Pondicherry & Cuddalore Archdiocesan News Letter Pondicherry & Cuddalore Message 299 NOVEMBER 2014 The Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions for November 2014 General: That all who suffer loneliness may experience the closeness of God and the support of others. Mission: That young seminarians and religious may have wise and well-formed mentors. ARCHBISHOP’S MESSAGE Reverend and dear Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, prayerful wishes and greetings to you in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Year of Consecrated Life 2014 – 2016 1. Consecrated life All Christians, by virtue of their baptism, are called to follow Christ, to be the disciples and witnesses of Christ, to be the heralds of the Gospel of Christ. Religious vocation is a special vocation to follow Christ more closely. “Religious are to find their supreme rule of life in the following of Christ as proposed in the Gospel and as expressed in the constitutions of their own institute” (Can. 662). Religious make a total consecration of their whole person to God, who is supremely loved. In imitation of the most Blessed Virgin Mary, with the heart and mind of Mary, the religious make a total unconditional and absolute surrender of themselves at the feet of Christ. The profession and practice of evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience are the concrete expressions of their total consecration to God and enable them to love Christ with an undivided heart and to dedicate themselves fully to the mission of Christ. Religious life is more a matter of being than doing; it is more relational than functional. The religious, following the particular Archdiocesan News Letter Pondicherry & Cuddalore NOVEMBER 2014 300 Message charisms of their institute, do a lot of ministries and services in the fields of education, health care and social development. These ministries and services are to be rooted in their total consecration of their whole person. The religious belong to the life and holiness of the church. It should be always kept in mind that “the apostolate of all religious consists primarily in the witness of their consecrated life” (Can. 673). His Holiness Pope Francis has proclaimed the Year of Consecrated Life which starts on the First Sunday of Advent, 30th November 2014 and ends on 2nd February 2016, the world day of Consecrated life. During this period, the consecrated persons are invited to review their being and doing, their life and activities, to renew themselves internally and spiritually and to rededicate themselves to their mission, ministries and services. All of us are exhorted to pray in a very special way for an increase of religious vocations. God has showered upon the faithful graces upon graces through the consecrated presence, devout prayer and dedicated services of the religious. The faithful are called upon to thank God for the blessings received through the religious and to pray for them in a special way throughout the year of the consecrated life. God has blessed our Archdiocese of Pondicherry and Cuddalore with a big number of religious – Sisters, Brothers and Priests. They take an active part in the life and mission of our Archdiocese and make significant contribution to its growth. We greatly appreciate and thank very much all the Religious in our Archdiocese for their consecrated presence, exemplary lives and dedicated services. We continue to pray for them in a special way during the year of the consecrated life. May Mary, the model and guide of consecrated persons, bless and protect all the Religious in the world. 2.

Maria Vianney Secretary to the Archbishop Archdiocesan News Letter Pondicherry & Cuddalore NOVEMBER 2014 Necrology 313 NOVEMBER 2014 NECROLOGY Here is a humble suggestion for St. Ann’s College, Tindivanam. One day’s salary for the college from all the Catholics, Priests, Sisters and Brothers will realize the project in a very meaningful way. Kindly consider and be moved to spare one day’s wage for a noble cause of the people of God. Similarly, other projects can be worked out. Our people have grown now to contribute and distribute than to receive and hoard. Praise the Lord. We are half a crore of Catholics in Tamilnadu. Bishops, Priests, Religious and the Laity have started, with the blessings of our Beloved Mother Mary, the MADHA TV in Chennai. Rs.100/- per month there could be at least one lakh of monthly subscribers from Tamilnadu to TV. God invites all of us to pray and become regular subscribers with active participation in broadcasting the human, the Christian and the march on towards the Kingdom of God. For our Archdiocese, Fr. A. J. Philomindoss our Pastoral Centre Coordinator is ready to pool and forward to the T.V., our Archbishop being one of the founding member of the company. During this month of November may the church that is on pilgrimage, the triumphant church and the suffering church be specially remembered. What we sow now, we will reap in the future. Let us remember our beloved ones. All are most welcome for the family gathering of Priests in the Sat-Sangh. Let us celebrate spiritually our life as one Presbyterium. Fr. A.

In IVF the best embryo’s is taken for growth meanwhile the rest of the embryos are destroyed which is again unethical. In surrogacy again the original parents remain a question mark. On the basis of the seriousness of these issues and the result of the in-depth discussion the body decided to amalgamate a memorandum and appeal to the Government and Supreme Court India not to legalize surrogacy and euthanasia. • Ethical Principles and norms to be followed in Catholic Healthcare Institutions to Protect Human Life. • Protection of Human Life under Indian Laws: What more can we do? • Bioethical issues in the beginning of life and the Dignity of Procreation – “Donum Vitae” • Promoting Human Life through Responsible Procreation. • Protecting the Gift of Human Life during and after Pregnancy. • Physiological and other Issues for Women’s and Child’s Health. • Interactive Session on the Phenomenon of Suicide and the need to build Emotional Defense Systems (EDS). • Ethical Issues at the End of Life. Taking into consideration of this report, the commission for Pro-life will organize Diocesan Catholic Nurses Guild and Doctor’ Guild, so that we should work for values safeguarding human life.

As you know “the new way of being the church is TO BE BASIC Ecclesial/Christian Community.” So being and becoming BEC is something obligatory not optional because it is the nature of our Christian Being and Christ’s Disciples. So dear Rev. Fr Parish Priests kindly ask your Anbiyams’ Central co-ordinator of your parish to participate in the one day animation programme in the second week of December.

We all know that old saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” But have you ever wondered why that is? How one apple a day can bring about significant health benefits? If you have, then you’ll be glad to read this article. From strengthening the immune system, through preventing cancerous growths and to losing weight, say hello to your one apple a day! How do apples do what they do? An important research published in 2008 by the German cancer research center, showed that apples offer a significant health advantage. When comparing between a group that had less than one apple per day and a group that had one or more apples a day, the latter was found to have less risk of mouth cancer, larynx cancer, breast cancer, intestinal cancer, kidney cancer and ovarian cancer. These findings support a new research performed at Cornell university, showing that the peel of the apple has strong antioxidant properties, a powerful block against the influences of breast cancer cells. Researchers found that the higher the concentration of apples, the lower the concentration of cancerous cells. Cancerous growths are uncontrollable growths of cells independently spreading through the body. NOVEMBER 2014 328 Doctor's vitamins, makes them one of the healthiest foods available. The secret is in the nutritional fibers. Apples are considered a vital source of nutritional fibers. Eating one apple a day (with peel) can award us about 4.4 grams of nutritional fibers, which is 1/5 of our entire day’s recommended amount. Nutritional fibers are materials found in foods that come from plants, and have a very important role in stimulating the digestive system and encouraging its function. Since they are not digested and taken apart in the body, they sate our hunger for a longer period of time. Extensive research has shown that those that do not get their daily recommended amount (at least 25 grams a day), deny themselves a host of health benefits. In addition, the researchers found that consuming these fibers is quite the effective method of losing weight. The secret is in the chewing. Drinking apple juice will not bring about the same health benefits. We would be happy to receive the essential sugars and vitamins, but we would not get the fibers. A research conducted in China found that chewing can help the body regulate the amount of calories it absorbs from food. The growths are based on three principal levels: The first stage causes mutations in cell DNA. The second, when the growth becomes malignant and grows faster, and finally when it metastases and spreads throughout the body. In the case of a cancerous growth, apples aren’t only used as anti-oxidants, but also improve the function of the immune system, which helps clean out the growths at the early stages. In addition to boosting the immune system and fighting cancerous growths, apples also help control the levels of cholesterol and sugars in the blood, prevent heart disease and improve mouth hygiene. The fact that they contain more than 80% water and a long line of essential What does this have to do with apples? Everything. Apples are a terrific source of nutritional fibers, especially a group of fibers called Pectin. This is a group of complex carbohydrates that regulate our bowels, improve good cholesterol rates and is a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial. Researchers from UCLA have shown that consuming pectin instead of regular fibers, doubles the time it takes the stomach to empty from one hour to two. Meaning that we do not feel hungry for a longer time. In fact, a recent research paper entitled: “Weight Loss Associated with a Daily Intake of Three Apples or Three Pears among Overweight Women”, shows that women suf fering fr om overweight were instructed to eat an apple or pear before each meal, lost significant weight, just for doing so. The women in the experiment were asked to eat regularly and just add the apple before the meal. What happened was that the apples and fibers crowded the stomach, increased the feeling of being full, and made the body absorb less calories. Other sources of nutritional Archdiocesan News Letter Archdiocesan News Letter Pondicherry & Cuddalore Pondicherry & Cuddalore NOVEMBER 2014 Doctor's 329 NOVEMBER 2014 fibers are: Pears, Peaches, peas, carrots, seeds, nuts, peel of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, oats and whole wheat. But apples offer many more advantages. So if you want to: Lose weight, eat one apple a day. Strengthen your immune system, eat one apple a day. Control the level of cholesterol, eat one apple a day. Prevent the spread of cancerous cells, eat one apple a day. And if you want to keep the doctor away - EAT ONE APPLE A DAY! Dr. J.
