Remain always in my immaculate heart, my beloved sons. I must as quickly as possible
make you such as Jesus wishes you to be. I am pressed for time and am making ever
greater demands upon you.
Let yourselves be borne by me. Never be afraid: Let all of you answer with a 'yes'. For
years I have followed you from day to day; for years I have been here to show you the
way.
Travel this road with me, I am leading you to it so that at the moment of the great
darkness, you may find there my light. Do not allow yourselves to be
drawn aside by vain curiosity; do not seek any other sign.
Listen to me when you put into practice all the
things I have told you.”

She deserves all gloryShe deserves all gloryShe deserves all gloryShe deserves all gloryShe deserves all gloryShe is the one who gave her life completely for the glory of God. She
surrendered her life “ as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom12: 1).
That is Mary, the mother of Jesus, and she is my mother. I am so proud that God
gave me the grace to be a child of Mary and to write about her in this magazine ,
Holy Queen.
What is the importance of Mary’s life? Why should we glorify Mary when so
many are against her? Because she is the most precious and valuable treasure
before the Holy Trinity! She is the one who gave her life to give birth to the son of God .
When Mary heard the word from the angel Gabriel, she said “ Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be
with me according to your word ” ( Luke 1 : 38 ). When she heard the Word, she received it in her heart . To
receive something means to accept it. She allowed the seed - that is the word - to be sown in her heart. Once
a seed is sown in the ground it should grow. It should become a plant or a tree. Then it will start to bear fruit. God
sends this Word for children to hear and receive it. They should allow the word to grow and bear fruits.
Unfortunately this does not happen in the lives of many. People hear the Word but do not allow the Word
become flesh.
The uniqueness of Mary’s life is that she allowed the Word become flesh, first in her heart and then in her
womb. It is very important. She co-operated with God by giving her
life. She emptied herself for the incarnation of the word. She never
allowed the things of this world to influence her. She rejected the
pleasures of life and accepted suffering and pain for the incarnation
of the Word. She knew that the one in her womb was the son of God.
So she realized her responsibility of protecting the child in her womb.
She never committed a sin either in her thoughts or in her words, but
by living in holiness she allowed the child in her womb to become
strong, holy and powerful.
When Mary heard the word she received it. To receive means to
believe and to believe means to accept it in one’s heart and life.
So Mary first believed the Word then she obeyed the word
and the word became flesh! If you want the word become

flesh in your heart you should believe and
obey the word. Disobedience brings de-
struction.
When you disobey the Word you are
destroy the Word and through that you
destroy the kingdom of God. We have
many preachers and hearers. But we have
no OBEDIENT children. So many hear the
Word, but do not obey. Mary listened, be-
lieved and obeyed the Word. So the Word
became flesh in her womb. That is Jesus
Christ!
To obey the Word is not easy. It is very diffi-
cult.
Because the powers of disobedience, which in-
fluenced Eve , are still active in everyone’s life. To
obey the word one should experience the love of
Jesus. One should “taste and see that the Lord is
good.” (Psalm 34:8) When you love Jesus you will
obey the Word. Jesus says “ Those who love me
will keep my word ,and my Father will love them,
and we will come to them, and make our home
with them “ ( Jn 14:23 )
My love of Jesus becomes meaningful only
when I obey the Word. If I do not obey the Word I
do not love Jesus. However the Holy Spirit helps
me obey the Word. God says “I will put my spirit
within you and make you follow my statutes and
be careful to observe my ordinances.” (Ezek 36:27).
So God promises that he will give us his Holy Spirit
so that we can obey the word.
When angel Gabriel said to Mary : “you will
conceive in your womb and bear a son” ( Luke 1:31).
She asked the angel “How can this be, since I am a
virgin?” ( Luke 1 : 34 ) And the angel answered “The
Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow you” (Luke 1: 35). With out
the power of the Holy Spirit the word cannot become
flesh. The Holy Spirit is Holy. He cannot work with an un
holy man. Mary is holy. So the Holy Spirit descended uponMary and lived in her. It is the Holy Spirit who helps the
word become flesh and enable us to keep the word.
Mary was obedient to God she loved the word,
believed and obeyed it .The Holy Spirit came upon Mary
and filled her. The word became flesh in her womb.
Today Mother Mary is asking her children to do only
one thing that is to obey the word. “Do whatever he tells
you” ( Jn 2 :5) . Jesus also is asking his followers to obeythe Word. It was because of Mary’s obedience and faith-
fulness to the word that Jesus Christ came into this world
as perfect as his father in heavenis.
We should allow the word to become flesh in our
life. If the incarnated word is in your heart, Jesus will be
there. He can do mighty things through you if you allow
Jesus to dwell in your heart through the incarnated word;
the Holy Spirit will be there; the Father will be there. That is the heaven will be there in your heart. Your body
will become the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6 :19 ).
Jesus will use you in a mighty way to spread the king-
dom of God. Amen, Halleluiah
Spirit in Jesus ministries proudly presents the
magazine, Holy Queen, to glorify Jesus, through Mary.
She is the Queen of Heaven, who destroyed the power of
the ancient serpent through her Holiness. She is the
mother of Jesus and also our mother. She will protect us
from the evil powers as she protected Jesus. May God
bless you.
Halleluiah

T he name 'Spirit in Jesus' is neither handwork of man
nor of human wisdom. It is given to us by God, the Most high. It
is not an organization or a group of any kind. 'Spirit in Jesus' is the
Spirit of God, who descended upon Jesus at the time of his baptism.
The 'Spirit of God' or the 'Holy Spirit' guided Jesus and gave him the
power to perform miracles. He gave Jesus strength to suffer and die
on the cross. After his death on the cross, the Spirit of Jesus with the
help of the Holy Spirit descended into hell and preached the gospel
to the spirits imprisoned
there.(1Peter 3:19; Catechism of
the Catholic Church (C.C.C) Article
5-635).
Jesus resurrected from the
dead with the help of Holy Spirit
and ascended into heaven. The
Spirit of God in Jesus is 'Spirit in
Jesus'. After his resurrection Jesus
appeared to his disciples for forty
days and taught them about the
kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). On the
fortieth day he ascended into
heaven and was seated at the right
hand of the Father. He will come
again to judge the world.
In the year 1988, God anointed
his chosen servant Tom Zachariah
by giving him the Spirit in Jesus,
that is, the Holy Spirit. He dedi-
cated his life to the spread the
kingdom of God in the last twenty

years. In 1989, Brother Tom started preach-
ing the Word. In the last nineteen years God
used him in a mighty way for spreading the
KinGdom of god. Now the 'Spirit in Jesus' min-
istry has become a leading spiritual move-
ment in Kerala. Besides Catholics of Latin,
Syro-malabar and Syro-malankara rites,
Jacobites, Marthomites and Protestants of
various denominations who believe in
Mother Mary work together in this ministry.
The name 'Spirit in Jesus' is not a human
invention, but given by the Holy Spirit him-
self. In 1989, the Lord revealed to Br Tom the
name 'Spirit in Jesus'. In several spiritual vi-
sions the name 'Spirit in Jesus' was seen writ-
ten in luminated letters. On certain occasions
a voice was heard calling out the name 'Spirit
in Jesus'. The Lord inspired him to accept the
name, write it on a piece of paper and offer it
on the alter during a holy mass.
Rev. Fr Peter Mathirappally, a Latin diocesan parish priest,
who was the first spiritual adviser, offered the name in the
holy mass and prayed for the plan of God to be revealed. In
1990, the prayer group came to be known as 'Spirit in Jesus'.
In the year 1997, the Lord revealed the power and authority
in the name: 'Spirit in Jesus'. During the time of casting out of
unclean spirits, when the leader uttered the name: 'Spirit in
Jesus', the evil spirits cried out in a loud voice and begged not
to say that name. The evil spirits felt the falling of fire upon
them. Similar experiences have occurred several times.
In 1990, this ministry started retreats in Malayalam. In 2001,
telecasting of programs in Malayalam commenced. Presently
they are done through three channels of which the nationalchannel, Surya T.V telecasts the program in the name 'Miracles
in Rosary' every Monday at 6.30 am. Now we are planning to
start a program in English as well.

istry. In 2004, Br Tom visited Doha, in Qatar,
for a Malayalam retreat. While the program
was in progress, another servant of God, Br
Dominic from Goa, met Br Tom by the in-
spiration of the Holy Spirit and invited himto preach the Word in his prayer group. Br
Tom told him that he could preach the
Word only in Malayalam since he was not
well conversant in English. So a lady trans-
lator was arranged to help Br Tom.
He started the session by praise and
worship in English. However, a miracle hap-pened there. After a while he slid into
chaste English and preached for an hour.
For three days, God gave him the grace to
preach in English. This gave him courage
and confidence to conduct an English re-
treat in Mumbai. Br Babu a servant of God,
arranged the retreat in Mumbai in 2004. There were thirty five participants in the
first retreat. Numerous people experi-
enced the love of Jesus and the power of
the Holy Spirit through the services. The
'one day programs' are known as 'Miracles
in Rosary'. The retreats of this ministry are
known as 'Born Again in Spirit' and 'Holi-ness Retreat'. People experience the
power of the Word of God and many have
received mighty anointing. Miraculous
healings have also happened in the lives
of many people.
THE MISSION:
The prime aim of this ministry is to transform the lives of
people. A Christian is a citizen of heaven. (Philippians 3:20). The
culture of the kingdom of heaven is holiness. "The one who called
you is holy, so be holy yourselves in all your conduct", for it is
written "You shall be holy for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:15-16). If the
Father in heaven is holy all His children should be holy. Again the
Word declares that "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, God's own people". (1 Peter 2:4). A Christian is a mem-
ber in the kingdom of God, a citizen of heaven, a royal priesthood
and a holy nation. Millions of people are living in sin. They do not
know what holiness is.
'Spirit in Jesus' ministry gives much emphasis in spreading
holiness. Without holiness Holy Spirit cannot do anything in our
lives. Help the Holy Spirit to work as he did in the beginning of
the church. The 'Spirit in Jesus' will do mighty things in these and
coming days. Because Jesus has said, " Very truly I tell you the one
who believes in me will also do the works that I do, and in fact will
do greater works than these because I am going to the Father"(Jn
17:12).

worship Him." Isa 59:1-2.
It is not too late to return to the Holy Father. From
now onwards we will be doing things that make our
Father happy. Your God is so strong to protect you,
even if your problem is similar to Daniel's lion's pit.
Do you think that is no way out of these problems?
Are you reckoning the omnious last days and hours of
life? Listen, God is powerful enough to save you. Are
you in the lion's pit of incurable illness, in an ever
widening debt trap, in an unresolved family problem,
or unemployment, humiliation in society and family,
or in a dreadful alienation? Then raise your eyes to-
wards heaven, without hesitation and in boldness like
Daniel. Confess your sins. "The Lord says now let us
settle the matter. You are stained red with sin but I
will wash you as clean as snow. All though your sins
are deep red, you will be as white as wool. If you will
only obey me, you will eat the good things that land
produces." Isa 1:18-19. Accept this loving call of re-
pentance and sincerely reject sin and turn your hearts
towards God. When God found Daniel sinless, He sent
His angels to block the mouths of lions and saved
Daniel.
This God is still living and hence we can depend on
Him. Whatever be the tempting force of sin, if you de-
pend on Him, those forces which try to attack you will
become powerless. Whatever be your decayed con-
dition, a miracle will happen in your life. Your fears will
disappear; your heart will be filled with peace. You
will be protected, even in the midst of your enemies,
and remain unhurt in your life. Depend on Him, like
Daniel, serve Him in holiness and pray to make you
holy, then many people will look at you, seeing your
life will exclaim: God of Daniel, you are the most high!

"Do you pass judgment on others? You have no excuse at
all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do
the same things which they do, you condemn yourself" Rom
2:1-2. We have no right to judge others. We are judging others
in accordance with the nature of our heart. Because of our
selfishness, resulted from sin, we make wrong judgments. We
fail to find out our own mistakes but find mistakes in others.
"Do not judge others so that God will not judge you for Godwill judge you, in the same way, as you judge others and He
will apply to you the same rules you apply to others. Why then
do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and pay no
attention to the log, in your own eye. How dare you say to your
brother, please let me take that speck out of your eye when
you have a log in your own eye?" Mt 7:1-4. When things hap-
pen according to our interests and likings we feel peace in
our minds. If anything happens against our wish, we get dis-
turbed and feel sad. It is because of our likes and dislikes, this
difference in feelings appear. When we centre all our actions
around God, we get freedom from these feelings because we
look at only on God and not on our circumstances. Thus, if
anything happens against our wish, it will not affect our life
because we leave everything to God.

who speaks against God for God knows our feelings and
thoughts and hears every word. Since the Lord's spirit
fills this entire world and holds everything in it together,
she knows every word that people say. No one who
speaks wickedly will escape notice; sooner or later, he
will receive just punishment." Wis 1:6-8.
Our experience say that when we judge a person on
his thoughts, deeds, behavior or any other thing, within
minutes we also start doing the same thing, that we foundfault with in others. Normally, we do not notice that such
things are happening in our life also; but it is a fact. "As
the scriptures say: there is no one who is righteous, no
one who is wise or who worships God. All have turned
away from God, they have all gone wrong; no one does
what is right, not even one". Rom 3:10-12. "Do not put
me, your servant, on trial; no one is innocent in your sight."
Ps 143:2.
A few years back, when I was participating in a re-
treat, I had a chance to realize this fact. It was a vacation
time and there were many participants in that retreat.
The rush was such that most people stood in queue, even
for primary needs. One day early morning I stood in queue
before the toilet. There was separate place for bathing
but some people bathed in the toilet, which irritated all
of us who were in the queue. People started grumbling
and I also joined them, saying that they should have takenbath, in the proper place only. The next day I went to the
toilet, unwittingly, I took bath there. I realized that I com-
mitted the same thing which I found fault with in others.
Then I heard a mild voice of my Lord: 'Don't judge others;
by doing so, you condemn yourself.' The man who was
raised to the highest heaven, St. Paul, says: "We know
that the law is spiritual, but I am a mortal man, sold
as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do for I
don't do what I would like to do but instead I do
what I hate. Since what I do is what I don't want to
do, this shows that I agree that the law is right so I
am not really the one who does this thing, rather itis the sin that lives in me. I know that good does
not live in me that is in my human nature. For even
though the desire to do good is in me I am not able
to do it. I don't do the good that I want to do. If I do
what I don't want to do, this means that I am no
longer the one who does it. Instead it is the sin that
lives in me. So I find that this law is at work: when I
want to do what is good, what is evil is the only
choice I have." Rom 7:14-21.
"If we live, it is for the Lord that we live and if we
die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we
live or die, we belong to the Lord, for Christ died
and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living
and of the dead ..why do you pass judgment on
your brother? All of us will stand before God to be
judged by Him." Rom 14:8-10
"God wants us to be holy, therefore God allowsus to face the inabilities and weaknesses of others
so that we may patiently suffer them and thereby
get us purified to the divine standard. Everyone
among us should learn to carry burdens that the
Lord allows us from time to time. Everybody has to
carry burdens and no one is an exception. Help to
carry one another's burdens and in this way, you
will obey the law of Christ. If someone thinks he is
somebody when really he is nobody, he is only
deceiving himself." Gal 6:1-2. Nobody is big enough
for himself. There is no one who has enough knowl-
edge also. Therefore, we mutually help ourselves
by consoling, teaching and guiding, thus doing
good to everyone.

"And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a ques-
tion to test him. " Teacher, which commandment
in the Law is the greatest? He said to him, "You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and
the first command-
ment. And the second
is like this: you shall
love your neighbour as yourself. On these
two commandments hang all the laws
and the prophets". Mt.22: 35-40
Through the above scriptures, our
Lord Jesus teaches us that there is no
commandment above the command-
ment to love. If sin is disobedience of the
commandment and to love is the great-
est commandment, then lack of love to-
wards God and neighbors is the most
serious sin. In the Old Testament, God
gave us his commandments in detail, but
Jesus consolidated these into two com-
mandments and gave them to us. It is to
love God and to love others.
My eyes always fill with tears when-
ever I reflect on God's love. There is a rea-
son for it. Had his love were not there inme, I wouldn't have been alive now. I
thank God every morning for his love
that gave me a new day. I also thank and
praise him before going to bed for his
love which kept me aloof from the
clutches of this sinful world. Eventhough

there is no good in us, our God, without a blink, looks at us
intently and keeps on protecting us. If He blinks for a mo-
ment, do we not fall instantly?
Love of this world is conditional. If we love others, they
will also love us. However, God's love is unconditional. He
clearly tells us that He will never desert us even if every-
body in this world rejects us. "Because you are precious in
my sight and honored and I love you". (Ish 43:4).
"For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my
covenant of peace shall not be removed" (Ish 54:10), says
the Lord, who has compassion on you. "Can a woman forgether nursing child or show no compassion for the child of her
womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. See
I have inscribed you in the palms of my hands. Your walls
are continually before me". (Ish 49:15-16).
To save us sinners, our Father's love for us allowed His
only son Jesus to be tortured and cruelly nailed to a cross
and die for us. Thus He revealed His love towards us. "But
God proves His love for us in that while we still were sin-
ners, Christ died for us". (Rom 5:8).
In the parables of the 'lost sheep' and the 'lost coin' and
the 'prodigal son'(Lk.15), Jesus is asking us to see the depth
of our heavenly Father's love for us. His love abounds in a
shepherd leaving ninety nine of his sheepfold and searches
for a lost sheep, a woman searching for a lost coin out of ten
she had and a father who recognizes his prodigal son from
afar and rushing to receive him with outstretched hands.
His love has no bounds and He loves us sinners without
conditions.
The love that made this father to exchange the life of his
only son for the people who disobeyed his prophets and
angels, sinned and became slaves of Satan. "For God so loved

While praying at Gethsemane, Jesus
was aware of the sufferings and tortures
that awaited him because of our sins. Heprayed intensely and sweat blood be-

more earnestly and sweat became like

ground". Lk 22:44. Did he not suffer se-
vere scourging, spitting, hitting and
mocking just for our sins? Do we then
not have to hate sin and live in holiness?
He accepted punishment on his body sothat we might not be punished. He car-
ried the cross of our sins on his shoulder.

us eternal life. To unite us with him he

than that of you". Another one says: "Whenever I re-
member the love of God I could hate sin. I used to
judge my brothers and loved ones and resorted to
liquor and went away from God. However, Jesus was
following me with his love, and expecting me to turn
towards him. This realization made me allow him to
take over me". How much do we have to love our
God who loves us more than anything else. We shall
love God by turning away from sin and love our neigh-
bors deeply with our heart. "Those who say I love God
and hate their brothers
or sisters whom they
have seen, cannot love
God whoms they have
not seen".(1Jn 4:20).
Jesus is our only model to
love and serve others.

came not to be served
but to serve and to give
his life a ransom for

"Because there is
one bread, we who
are many are one

take of the one

"In this love, not
that we loved God
but that he loved us
and sent his son to be the
atoning sacrifice for our sins".1
Jn 4:10. A woman once told
me that when her husband
and children deserted her, she
survived just because Jesus
was there to love her and
make her love him.
When a Hindu mother felt
bad about her son who turned
to Jesus, the son told his
mother, "I love you mother but
my love for Lord Jesus is more
many.(Mt 20: 28).
In the parable of the good Sa-
maritan, Jesus teaches us who our
neighbor is. All those who need our
help and seek our love in this world
are our neighbors. The good Sa-
maritan who came to help the in-
jured man observed the command-
ment of God that "Love your neigh-
bor as you love yourself". The Priest
and the Levi who walked before
this good Samaritan failed in their
duty to their neighbor.
Satan rejoices when he sees our unforgiving atti-
tude, our failure to love others and failure to rejoice in
the blessings they enjoy. Love is the strong weapon to
destroy the hardwork of Satan to steal all God's chil-
dren and the disciples of Jesus. If you are filled with
Love, he cannot tempt you to sin. In front of love, Sa-
tan becomes powerless.
When I attended my first retreat of 'Spirit in Jesus'
in April 2003, I was a man filled with anxiety and fear
in my heart. In this retreat, I experienced Gods' love.

Fear and anxiety left me when I was filled with God's
love. When I was in Qatar a man became violent by the
influence of an evil spirit. Then an anointed brother em-
braced him and told him that God loved him very much.
When the word of God's love came out from that broth-
ers' mouth, the evil spirit left that man and he became
free and fell down on the ground. He became a new man
since them.
With love we can destroy Satan and come closer to
When you see somebody suffering, do not
blame him for his sins; but before saying that you
look in to your own heart. In the parable of the tax
collector, God did not accept the prayer of the
Pharisee, who justified himself as holy and blamed
the tax collector as sinner. There was no love for
others in him. Let our life become a hope for those
who suffer, in pain, and in despair. Even if we are
walking on fire with our burdens and problems, it
is our duty to love our neighbor. We are not nomi-God. Do not consider love a re-
sponsibility. But love every one -
friends, loved ones, enemies,
negative situations, and those
who give pain and everyone with-
out distinction.
We have to see only good in
every one. We must love even a
sinner. As a doctor who loves his
patient and hates the sickness in
him, we have to love our brother
in sin and hate the sin in him. "But
I say to you love your enemies and
pray for those who persecute you.
So that you may be children of
your Father in heaven; for he

tortured him and he taught us
thus: "For if you love those who
love you what reward do you

the same?" Mt. 5:46.

Tom Zacharias
Jesus said to Peter, "I will give you the keys of
the kingdom of heaven". (Mt 16:19).What are the
keys that Jesus promised to Peter? The purposes
of the keys are to open and to lock. The keys to
open the kingdom of God are something special.
It is not like the keys of this world. The keys are the
authorities.
The meaning of the word is that the authority to
open the kingdom of heaven is given to Peter. The
mysteries in the kingdom of heaven are hidden in
the Word of God. To understand the meaning of the
Word we need wisdom. Once, prophet Daniel had
a vision about the end. He asked the angel for the
revelation of the vision. But the angel said "Go your
way Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and
sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be pu-
rified, cleansed and refined, but those who are wise
shall understand". (Daniel 12:9). To understand the
Word which was sealed and kept secret, one should
be purified from sins by the Word, cleansed by the
blood of Jesus and refined by the Holy Spirit. Holy
Spirit reveals the secret only to those who live in holi-
ness. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will teach
everything. (Jn 14:26). The Holy Spirit who is holy can-
not dwell in a sinful heart.
All those who are baptized and believe in the
name of Jesus have the Holy Spirit with them. But
because of their sins the Holy Spirit is imprisoned in
their lives. One should be filled and led by the Holy
Spirit. "Those who are led by the Holy Spirit are the
children of God". (Rom 8:14).
So to understand the meaning of the Word we need
wisdom. This wisdom we get from the Holy Spirit when
we are sanctified.
SECRET WORDS :
There are so many secret words in the Bible which

should be used to open the doors of heaven. There are certain
strong deeds in the Bible to open the doors of heaven. In my
encounter with the Lord in the last twenty years, I have learned
certain secret words which the Holy Spirit has revealed to me
in my prayer. I am sharing then with the readers, so that it will
help you to obtain blessings from heaven. The most powerful secret words that I have experienced
are Halleluiah and Hail Mary. First of all I would like to share
with you about Hail Mary.
HAIL MARY - a prayer of praise. :
Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you. Blessed are you
among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Twenty years ago Jesus came into my life. He became ev-
erything to me. I longed to be with him. Always I felt a thirst to
pray, to praise the Lord and to sing heavenly hymns. From
morning to night I enjoyed the presence of the Lord in me. I
was not at all interested in the pleasures of this world and stayed
away from TV programs and newspapers. My thirst was only
for the love and infilling of the Holy Spirit. So I spent most of
my time with the Lord.
One day, after so many hours of prayer, I felt dryness in my
heart. At night I said, "Lord I prayed all this day, but I couldn't
feel happiness in my heart. My heart is like an empty jar". Sud-denly I had a vision of Mother Mary. I heard someone saying to
me to say Hail Mary three times. Then I said Hail Mary three
times. Before finishing the prayer I saw the gates of heaven
opened and the power of the Holy Spirit descend upon me
like a flowing of a river. I was filled with the power. I said, "Lord
it is amazing." I couldn't believe it. The whole day I prayed and
I didn't get this power. But now by saying Hail Mary three times,
the power of the Holy Spirit is in me. It happened many a time
in my life. The Holy Spirit taught me a truth that Mother Mary is
his beloved and through her he can come into my life fast.
Since then I begin my prayer and preaching with three Hail
Mary.
Whenever I say the holy rosary I see the holiness of God
descend from heaven and sanctify me. The holiness of God is
seen in the form of pure white milk and itcleanses my body and heart. Even new I ex-
perience it. Whenever I want the power of
the Holy Spirit I say the Hail Mary.
I also see heaven opened and the power
descends upon the people when I say Hail
Mary during my preaching in the retreats.
The prayer Hail Mary has the power to open
the gates of heaven, it is so masuellous!
HOLY MARY - a prayer of appeal :
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sin-
ners now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
After praising Mary, we ask her to inter-
cede for us before God, and we proclaim that
Mary is the Mother of God. We also confess

that we are sinners and not worthy enough to call
upon the name of the Lord. So it is a prayer of ap-
peal. Through Mary, in the name of Jesus, all our
prayers will be answered.
GIVEN FROM HEAVEN :
Do you know that the prayer Hail Mary is given
from heaven? This prayer has two parts. The first is
the greeting of the messenger, angel Gabriel, and
the second is the greeting by the Holy Spirit.
When angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, he
greeted her saying "Greetings, favored one. The
Lord is with you". (Lk 1:28). Angel Gabriel on behalf
of the almighty God greets Mary. The word "greet-
ings'' is translated as "Hail Mary" and "favored one''
is translated as "full of grace".
In the second part, the Holy Spirit himself praises
Mary through Elizabeth. When Mary greeted Elizabeth
during her visit, the power of the Holy Spirit came
upon Elizabeth and she was in-filled. It was the Holy
Spirit himself exclaimed "blessed are you among
women and blessed is the fruit of your womb".(Luke
1:42).
When the Holy Spirit and the angel of the Lord praise
Mary, then why can't we, the children of God, praise
may how is the mother of God. Inspired by the Holy
Spirit, Mary said, "From now on all generations will
call me blessed". (Lk 1:48). So it is our duty to praise
and glorify Mary. When we say the Holy Rosary, we arepraising and glorifying Mother Mary.

St. Thomasthe ApostleSt. Thomas was a Jew, called to be one
of the twelve apostles. He was a dedicated
but impetuous follower of Christ. When
Jesus said He was going to Judea to pay a
visit to His friend Lazarus who had fallen
ill, Thomas encouraged the other Apostles
to accompany Him in the trip which they
feared involved certain danger and pos-
sible death because of the mounting hos-
tility of the authorities. In the Last Supper,
when Jesus told His Apostles that He was going to prepare a place
for them where they would also come, Thomas pleaded ignorance;
however he obtained the credible assurance that Christ is the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. But St. Thomas is best known for his role in
authenticating the Resurrection of his Master. Thomas' hesitataion
to believe the testimony of his fellow Apostles merited him the
title of "doubting Thomas." Later, on Christ's second appearance,
Thomas was gently rebuked for his skepticism and gave the proof
he had asked for - "see the mark of the nails in his hands and put
my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand into his side". At
this, Thomas was convinced of the Resurrection and remorsefully
exclaimed: "My Lord and My God," thus making a public Proclama-
tion of faith in the divinity of Jesus. St. Thomas was also present in
yet another appearance of Jesus after Resurrection - at Lake
Tiberias when the miraculous catch of fish occurred. This is all
what is mentioned about St. Thomas in the New Testament. Tradi-
tion says that at the dispersal of the Apostles after the Pentecost
he was sent to evangelize the Parthians, Medes, and Persians; he
ultimately reached India. St Thomas arrived in 52AD in South In-
dia, on the Malabar Coast, now called Kerala. As a result, Christian-
ity reached India long before it was introduced to many parts of
Europe. He established seven churches on the Malabar Coast, be-
fore going to Mylapore, Madras (now called Chennai). St Thomasdied in 72AD after he was pierced by a lance while praying on a
hillock (now known as the St .Thomas Mount) 14km southwest of
Chennai. His body was taken to Mylapore and buried in the chapel
he had built with his own hands. This church has been rebuilt time
and again to the present Gothic structure called St Thomas Cathe-
dral Basilica. Only three churches in the world have been built
over the tombs of Apostles of Jesus Christ. One is the
Basilica of Saint Peter, which covers the tomb of St Pe-
ter in Rome. The second is the Cathedral of Santiagode Compostela, which was built over the tomb of
St James in Spain, and the third is the St Thomas
Cathedral Basilica, which was erected over
the tomb of St Thomas in Mylapore. His
martyrdom is celebrated on July 3rd; he
is the patron of architects.

Many a time we hear the people say that they
are troubled in their heart by various reasons.
Troubles and worries of life have become the rule
of the day. Even so calned spiritual people have
troubles in their heart though our Lord clearly ex-
horts us not to be troubled in our heart. Once you
are in it, then only you would be able to under-stand the gravity of the situation and cast out the
effects of it in this life. Troubles and worries of life
are making people go away from God and even
lead themselves to the point of death. However
we try out to avoid the troubles and worries in our
life, it is bound to happen in our life and we should
know how to cope up with it.
Quite many examples we hear in the old and
the new testaments about the troubles and wor-ries people had in their life. Faith is always allowed
to be tested and proved to be good in our life and
every situation of trouble in life is sure test to prove
our faith in the Lord and his words. The wise and
just will always turn every such situation in to oc-
casion for proving this faith and show marvelous
strength to over come it. Those who are called and do
not have God's words will definitely stumble in such situ-
ations and show their inability to trust in the Lord.
We see a wonderful example in Mathew 1:19-20.
Here we see Joseph the husband of Mary in trouble.
When he saw Mary pregnant, he was unable to under-
stand the situation and was troubled in his heart. He
knew the truth about Mary but could not understand
how to overcome it. His troubles did not lead him to sin.
Instead of sinning, he depended on God. When God
found him troubled, He brought him to his sober mind
through dreams. The Scripture says Joseph is a just man
and hence, he turned his mind to God even when he
could not understand anything about what to do in a
particular situation. A just man is the one who does the
will of God or just obey his commandments. Joseph
believed in the exact manner and he allowed the courseof events to come to him according to the will of God.
Seeing the just mind of Joseph, God makes him under-
stand about the situation and he acted on the advice he
received through his dreams.
God looked in to the heart of Joseph and found that
he did not want Mary to get hurt even when he did some

actions which he took in his troubles. How broad minded
is he that he wants to be just in his relations with others
even when he finds troubled with the situations. God
understands his mind and tries to help him to solve the
problem. Even in his troubles he is conscious of his Godand he turns to God more than any thing else in this world.
He is also concerned about the neighbors and thus puts
his trust in the God fully aware of the commandment of
God.
Joseph's actions bring peace to his situations. Even
though he got troubled, he recognized his frail nature
and did not allow his frail nature to harm neither God nor
his neighbors. Mat. 1:24. the Scripture says he got out of
sleep and obeyed just like the angel of the Lord com-manded him to do; he accepted his wife. See how deli-
cate was his situation and still he was not guided by his
situations. He fully depended on the wisdom of God and
over came his troubles and showed us a good example
as to how to behave and obey God in our troubled situa-
tions.
Now we look for another example we have in the
Bible. According to Mt. 2:3, we see that King Herod was
troubled in his situations. He was upset with the infor-mation that there happened a birth of a King of Jews and
that too in his own country. Three Kings saw stars as a
sign of the birth of King of Jews and started out to wor-
ship the King of Jews. This news made Herod worry about
himself. Because he felt envy of birth of another King
which was a threat to his rule, which he couldn't even
tolerate in his heart. Immediately he was trying to
find out the exact place of birth of the king so that
he could destroy the child who in future wouldtrouble him. His crooked mind worked and he
called all his court advisors and trying intensely to
locate the new born king. But his advisors failed to
locate him. The kings were allowed to go them-
selves and find out the child. Before they left Herod
very cheatingly asked them a favor, he said, "In-
form me about the child king when you found him
so that I could also go and worship him." So cun-
ning was his request that the kings agreed tooblige.
The kings left and found the child and wor-
shipped him. They were advised by God to go back
in a different toute. As such they did not return to
the King Herod (Mt 2:8) which made him angry. He
was furious and ordered to kill all the babies be-
low two years. See how a little trouble in the heart
create chaos in the King's palace as well as in his
Kingdom. How much pain it brought to his coun-try and its people. So many suffered just because
of one man's trouble. King Herod behaved in a dev-
ilish manner. He behaved cunningly and created
troubles in others' life. His trouble is not confined
to himself but he spread his troubles to others and
made other people suffer.
In the Gethsemane Garden also we see Jesus
was troubled by the situation. But the calm and
quietness in his heart made everything clear andhandled the situation excellently and accepted the
will of His Heavenly Father. All the sins he accepted
on our behalf and the pain which bore by him was
enormous and unthinkable. But he accepted all the
troubles just because of obedience. God showed
him before hand what was going to happen and

the enormous pain he was to under go made him
troubled in his heart. But he never disowned God
because of it nor got dejected but understood
clearly about it and accepted it. In fact his sober
acceptance made every one attain salvation
through the removing of sins from this world.
Because of this act of mercy, every one of us has
got a chance to attain salvation through the sacri-
fice of Jesus Christ. Jesus over came his troubles
by better understanding of the will of God in him
and the knowledge about the wisdom of God in his
situation. His obedience and surrender made the
people happy because they got salvation by this
act of Love.
When Judas Iscariot found that Jesus was sen-
tenced to death by dying on the cross, he was
troubled. He realized the consequent effect of his
own deed and the wrath which it brought. He was
troubled in his heart and decided to reject the re-
ward he got through his betrayal of his own master. He
approached the priests who gave him money and re-
turned the money. But they were helpless to console
him. They refused his request and went forward. This
broke the heart of Judas and he was disappointed. He
hanged himself and met with an ignominious death. Un-
timely realization and repentance bring no good to any-
one.
Examples are abound in the Bible to show how one
should handle troubles in the heart. A proper decision
or direction can bring goodness to the one concerned
and others. Otherwise it brings major calamity. It is in
fact a walk on the razors edge. With God everything is
possible and without God's guidance wickedness and
evil follow as a result of troubles. We can't avoid troubles
in the heart but the way you handle it makes the differ-
ence. So be cautious in your approach in troubles. Praise
the Lord. Thank you Jesus.

Ms. Sajitha, when did you come to know Jesus Christ
as Lord and God?
Sajitha: I was born and brought up in a Hindu family and
customarily got married to a Hindu. However, my
husband and his family members were believers
of Jesus Christ. My husband had come to strong faithby attending a retreat of Spirit in Jesus. I started
praying the rosary along with him. Gradually I ac-
companied him in the prayer meetings of Spirit in
Jesus at Kalpetta. Eventhough I have not attended a
residential retreat, participation in the prayer meet-
ings helped me grow in Jesus.
Can you tell me about the disease of your mother?
Sajitha: My mother was suffering from profuse bleeding
since 2001; but didn't bother to undergo a medical
checkup and treatment many years. In 2005, doc-
tors diagnosed her for cancer in the uterus. Since,
special treatment was not sought and obtained it
spread throughout the body. She was admitted to
Amala Cancer Hospital, Thrissur, Kerala. She under-
went radiation thirty five times, and chemotherapy
also. But the cancer spread to other areas of the
body, such as brain and blood. When a boil inside
the nose was operated on, it was also found to be
cancerous. Since there was nothing left to be done
to save her, the doctors sent her back home telling
that she mitht not live for another ten days.
Tell me about your hope and faith in Jesus, which
caused the miraculous healing of your mother?

[ Ms. Sajitha, a Hindu, shares how her mother, Sumathi washealed in a retreat of the Spirit in Jesus team atChoondal-Thrissur, Kerala, by the strong faith of this daughter. ]
Sajitha: I was in Wayanad with my husband. I came
to know of the serious condition of my
mother's ailment only when I visited her at
Thrissur. Blood clotted boils were formed all
over her body. She was lying in bed in the
shape of a prawn. Her head had become balddue to chemotherapy. When I visited her, I
had an intention to take her for the "Born
Again in Spirit" retreat of Spirit in Jesus, which
was to start on 14th April at Choondal.
When I prayed for her and for a word of
comfort at Wayanad, Jesus led me to the
strong faith of the Canaanite Woman
(Mt.15:21-28).
The condition of my mother became
worse due to loss of blood and reduction in
the platelets. She had bleeding from gum,
hair follicles and other parts of the body. See-
ing my mother in agony I said "You have to
suffer the pain only for today and not from
tomorrow onwards as you will get healing in
the retreat that starts tomorrow". I do not
know how I got such a strong faith at that
moment.
The day before I had an evil dream- my
mother and myself were with my relatives. I
saw a strange figure approaching my mother.

ened. I took the Bible and opened it, I got the
Word on the faith of the Canaanite woman.
Then I started proclaiming the Word to ev-
eryone I met. I could experience the faith of
the Canaanite woman even in my dream.
Sajitha, can you tell me what happened dur-ing the retreat?
Sajitha: My mother-in-law and my daughter also
joined us in the retreat. My mother did not
sleep that night due to severe pain and itch-
ing in the boils on the body.
I saw Br. Tom entering the retreat hall. I
could not look at his face. When he passed by
my side I experienced the power of the HolySpirit and I was about to fall on the floor. I
have had the "slain in the spirit" experience
many times during anointing prayers. When-
ever brother lifted his hands on the stage, I
got knocked out by the power and been in
the "slain in the spirit". Meanwhile I heard a
voice telling me that my mother was healed.
The faith of the Canaanite woman was rising
in me in those moments. Since, I was unable
to get up bring my mother, I told my mother-
in-law, who was standing beside me, to bring
her to the stage as I felt that she was healed.
But she didn't do it.
Suddenly, I felt a power in my body and I
got up, ran to my mother. She has not felt
healing that time. But I noticed that the boils
on her skin cured. Though she was weak to lift
a even a plate or a glass, I asked her to lift my
daughter in her hands. Miracle!-she easily
lifted the child in her hands. I rushed to the
stage with my mother. Br.Tom asked us to
come on to the stage. I spoke something
vague. However, I fell down there again and again
due to the mighty presence of power on the
stage. Br. Tom prayed for my mother. He com-
manded the disease to leave her completely and
prayed for new hairs to sprout on her bald head.
That night, when I entered her room, I could
see newly sprouted hairs on her head. She be-
came a normal person the next day. My mother,
who could not eat any food, ate six idlies for her
breakfast.
How and what did you pray at that time, Sajitha?
When Br.Tom was praying for my mother, I was
in "slain in the spirit" on the stage. Whenever I
came back to consciousness, I too prayed - Jesus,
as you raised Lazarus from the dead, show mercy
on us and heal my mother.
When I descended from the stage, some
people told me whatever I proclaimed was only
my imagination, Later I saw (in a spiritual vision)
blood flowing from the crucifix is given to my
mother and some other souls.
From next day onwards, whenever I woke up
from "slain" my mother brought me food. Thank
God. I also saw a "vision" in my "slain in the spirit"
- A cartful of souls was being pulled by a white
horse in the sky.
Have your mother completely cured?
Yes. She is perfectly alright now. In this sec-
ond retreat at Calicut, my mother is here with
me. After the first retreat, I took my mother to
the hospital for a checkup. Her blood count and
platelets were found normal. The doctors were
amazed. There was no sign of cancer in her body.
Even now, I experience heavy anointing when-
ever I share this miracle with others.

A young girl taken captivefrom the land of Israel
"You are witnesses of these things." Lk 24:48. To wit-
ness the Lord is the main responsibility assigned to us
by our Lord. Though we know that we are called to wit-
ness the Lord, very often we fail to do so due to various
reasons. Some say they have nothing to witness, while
others wait for an opportune time to witness and still
others wanting Lord's help to do so. Here is a little girl
proving her faith by witnessing the Lord, in an extraor-
dinary manner and also in a contrary atmosphere prov-
ing her real worth and showing us how to witness the
Lord.
"Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a
young girl captive from the land of Israel and she served
Naman's wife." 2Kings 5:2. The background of the inci-
dent is this: The king of Aram attacked Israel under thecommand of Naman and the Lord gave victory to the
king of Aram, because of Naman. During the looting,
they took a young Israeli girl captive and made her serve
Naman's wife. This young girl, when in the house of
Naman, found out that Naman was suffering from lep-
rosy. "She said to her mistress 'if only my lord were with
the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his
leprosy.' So Naman went in and told his lord just what
the girl from the land of Israel had said." 2 Kings 5:34. Inthe end we see Naman got cured of his leprosy, through
the prophet Elisha and thanked God for his healing.
Here is a young girl, who was made captive and taken
away to a foreign land detached from her family and
made to serve in an enemy land. No one among us can
imagine about such a situation, in our life and even if it
happens to us, we are sure to turn hostile to God.
But this young girl showed her firm faith in the Liv-
ing God and her situation did not stall her to wit-
ness her Lord. She acted according to her convic-
tion and we see that she was concerned about her
master found suffering from leprosy. She forgot all
her suffering and troubles. In fact, she improvised
the situation to witness her Lord. The result of her
action was astounding that Naman came to know
about the Living God and the Lord, in turn, did this
miracle by the faith of this little girl of Israel.
Just like anyone of us, she would have both-
ered about her pitiable condition of slavery, de-
tachment from family members, living condition
in a alien land, no one known to share her feelings
and troubles, etc. In spite of these problems, she
thought of the Lord only and she worked in a spirit
filled way to make her Lord glorified. With the
timely deed of this young girl, the Lord worked a
mighty miracle. She did not blame the Lord for her
condition of life and go away from the Lord. She
coped up with her situation and showed her faith,
which proved a real Israeli girl of her times.
This young girl of Israel, a real treasure in clay,
tells us much about how to witness the Lord. If we
look into our life, we can see how many times we
could have proved our faith in the Lord, had we
had such a courageous heart, like this young girl.
Now let us decide not to waste any of our life, ig-
noring the Lord. Every moment of our life is really
precious for witnessing our Lord.

Mathirapilly, who had been our spiritual advisor,
for so many years and who wholeheartedly sup-
ported the work of Holy Spirit, sat for confession.
Many people were there in the queue for confes-
sion. I tried to find out sins in me. Every moment
of my life came to my mind and I was very much
conscious of sin. I had always tried my best not to
submit myself to the forces of sin. I continuously
fight with sin, in order not to inflict pain on Jesus,
who is with me always.
I thoroughly checked up my mind and I still
couldn't find sin, which needed confession. An in-
consequential lie told to someone was brought
to my mind. I thought it could be ignored and con-
fessed to the Lord. I knelt down and confessed
directly to our Lord and sought his condonation. I
was praying with remorse and deeply, with my
eyes closed. A bright light flashed and some
luminated letters appeared which read : Go and
confess'. When I got this command from the God,
I got up immediately and stood in the queue for
confession.I was nearing the confessional wondering why
our Lord wanted me to confess to a priest, for such
a small sin, without accepting my confession di-
rectly. I couldn't understand this. What is the basis
of non-Catholics, who hold that the sacrament of
confession of the Catholic Church is a fraud? An-
swer to this also evaded my mind.
As my turn for confession came, I knelt beside
the priest, closed my eyes so that my inner eyes
could be opened. I saw Jesus sitting in the con-
fessional in the place of Fr. Peter. Jesus was bless-
ing everyone. Tears flowed down my eyes. I real-
ized why Jesus sent me to the confessional. I made

"You shall love the Lord our God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with
all your strength and with all your mind."
Lk 10:27. How much do we love God? It is
easy to measure. Verify your thoughts be-
cause thoughts come from our hearts. If
God is there in our hearts, he will reflect in
our thoughts. When worldly things or any-
thing related to the world are filled in our
thoughts, there is no God in our heart.
Some people give first place to wife,
husband, parents, children, etc. whilst oth-
ers follow money, job, position, posses-
sions, health, etc. Watch over ourselves
where we spend much of our time. If we
spend more time for a particular thing inour life, other than glorifying God, we are
addicted to that which will take us away from God. This
is a kind of idol worship. Time meant for God is taken
away for worldly things.
Many problems we face today are just because of
our disobedience of the first commandment of God, in
our lives. We should love God 100%. We cannot claim
that I love God 50% and love my family 50%. One can-
not claim that I love God 60% and love my wife and
children 40%. Love for God should be 100%. We have to
check ourselves in which area of our life we have prob-
lem. It is clear that, this area occupies most of the time
of our lives and interferes even our love for God.
We have to come back to the Lord. Surrender every
area of our life to the Lord. Give the correct time for the
Lord and the Lord will take care of our problems. You
will take care of your time for God and everything willgo well with you. Praise the Lord.

my confessions not to a human being. The ab-
solution was given by Jesus himself. His prom-
ise came to my mind: This authority of our Lord
has been given to His disciples. If he had per-
mitted direct confession, He would not have
given the authority to His disciples. Jesus says
that when one confesses his sins to an anointed
and authorized disciple of Jesus i.e. a priest,
he has the authority to absolve sins on behalf
of God.
Confession has to be made not directly to God but to
an authorized priest. This realization helped me a lot in
purifying my life. I confess all my sins, trivial and grave,
which inflict pain on Jesus and get free. I glorify my Lord
for the sacrament of confession. "For where two or three
come together in my name, I am there with them." Mt
18:20. A sinner and a priest meet in the confessional, in
the name of Jesus who is present in their midst. In faith I
confess my sins to the Living God; in fact, I confess it to a
priest who has the authority to absolve all my sins."If you
forgive the sin of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain
the since of any,they are retained" Jn 20:23

My God miraculously delivered me
from acute alcoholism and bad
habits :- Jerry D'Silva - Vasai (East)My name is Jerry D'Silva residing at Vasai (East)
near Mumbai in Maharashtra. For the last 30 years, I
was suffering from acute alcoholic problems and itsresultant set backs in life. I used to sit in a bar from
morning till evening and I consume a lot of liquor.
Due to this alcoholism, my whole family was suffer-
ing. I had to return from USA because of this drunk-
enness. When I was in USA I had a bad fall and be-
cause of this fall, my back got injured and impaired
my walking. As a result, I had to leave USA and re-
turned to India. I visited many holy places and prayer
centers to get rid of these habits, but this couldn't
help me. Apart from alcoholism, I had violated al-
most all the commandments. I tried my best to stop
these vices in my life. I committed serious sins be-
fore and after my marriage. Because of this, my fam-
ily life got strained and the result was stress, strain
and tension in my life.
I play music in the Church during Sunday masses
regularly and attend charismatic prayers run by vari-
ous known persons. But no change took place in my
life. I was fed up and disturbed. Despair startedhaunting my life. At this juncture, I happened to
attend "Miracles in Rosary" prayer conducted by
Spirit in Jesus at Vasai (West). Though I had attended
it accidentally, wonderful changes started taking
place in my life. God touched me and removed all
my alcoholism and bad habits. It changed my life.
After this prayer, I regularly started going to the
church even on week days. When I play music in the
Church, I started getting mighty anointing and ex-
periencing the power of God. I started experiencing
the Holiness of the Living God and Holy Spirit really
filled in my heart which made me keep away from
alcoholism and bad habits for ever.
Jesus has really saved my life and I sincerely thank
my God who touched me and saved me from all my
ruin.
SPONDYLOSIS HEALEDRuby D'souza, Mullund, Mumbai
I was having spondylosis of the neck, shoulder and
back for more than five years. Hence, there was some-
thing moving up and down on my back. Severe pain
was there due to these problems. I have attended the
retreat of Spirit in Jesus and Jesus has healed me com-
pletely from all these diseases. There was heaviness
on my chest due to worries about my family. How-
ever, Lord has delivered me from this also and I feel
very light on my chest now. Thank God.
"YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL"Lk. 18:42 Norma, Vasai
When I came to know about the retreat, I prayed to
Jesus and to the Holy Spirit to help me to go for the
same. During the prayer, I experienced the anointing
of the Holy Spirit. Then I attended the retreat of Spirit
in Jesus in March at Vasai. I was unable to read without
eyeglasses. During the retreat, I tried to read Bible with-
out eyeglasses and I could read without any problem.
However, I continued wearing glasses. Later, when Br. Tom Zacharia prayed over me, I fell down slain in spirit.
My glasses also fell on the floor and got damaged. Since
then, no more glasses with me, I could not use the same
and then I realized that my eye sight have become nor-
mal. Thank Jesus for healing my eyes.
LORD HEALED MY LEG PAIN
Edwin Misqita, Papdy
I had to undergo a surgery on my leg six months
ago. In spite of that I was unable to walk properly due
to severe pain. I attended the retreat of Spirit in Jesus.
During the retreat, Jesus touched my leg and healed
me completely. I have no pain on my leg now and can
walk normal. Thank God.

MY LORD GAVE ME A NEW LIFEVictorD Imello, Bandra, Mumbai
My wife, Margaret, had attended the retreats of
Spirit in Jesus and she has a strong faith, especially in
the miraculous power of the Holy Rosary. She used to
convince others about the power of rosary prayers.
But I did not support her in doing so. When I had
severe fever in September last, she prayed rosariesand I got healed. Then I had continuous hiccups day
and night. I was taken to various doctors, who could
not help me. They asked me to go to a hospital and
get admitted. Since, there was no vacant bed in hos-
pitals nearby, I continued treatment without being
admitted. Many days passed. My condition became
worse. I also had severe throat pain and was unable
to breathe properly. My Wife was praying rosaries
these days. As a last resort, I telephoned Br. Babu of Spirit in Jesus, who told me to pray the rosary loudly
meditating the mysteries. I started to pray rosary.
When I completed one rosary and started the second
rosary, my hiccups did stop and I felt like having got a
new life. I never had hiccups since then. Thank God
for bringing me to more faith.
JESUS TOUCHED AND HEALED ME. Jennifer D'souza, Vasai
I had attended the 'Miracles in Rosary' prayer meet-
ing of Spirit in Jesus near Spencer supermarket. I had
stone and cyst and pain when I came for that prayer. In
the prayer, I felt Jesus healed me and I went to hospital
for checkup to confirm my healing. They tested me and
the sonography result confirmed the absence of stone
and cyst. I also had severe mental stress before at-
tending the prayer meeting and it is gone forever.
Jesus, you love me so much!
"DON'T BE AFRAID; ONLY BELIVE."(MK. 5:36) Elizabeth, Margoa
During the retreat of Spirit in Jesus, Br. Tom Zacharia
told us that the sins not confessed so far may cause
diseases. He also told us that Holy Spirit can help us to
remember our sins from childhood. I have asked Holy
Spirit to help me to remember my sins. Then I haddone confession. After the confession, Holy Spirit
started touching me. I had pain in my stomach and
minor asthma. Though I had pain during retreat, I did
not pray for healing, instead, I kept my hand on chest
and prayed to Jesus to come into my heart. When I
prayed this way, I noticed that my stomach pain and
asthma were healed completely. Praise you Jesus.

NEWSMETRO ROUTES TO GET
RS 4500 CRS FROM DELHI The centre will fund the 'Viability gap' for
the Mumbai metro project, Union urban devel-
opment minister Jaipal Reddy announced on
Wednesday. Reiterating that PM Manmohan
Singh was especially focused on Mumbai, the
country's financial capital, Reddy said the cen-
tre would bear Rs 4500 crs of the total cost of
Rs 22,000 crs . Reddy's announcement, made
at a city function, and was welcomed by top
officials connected with the project.
Maharashtra has been trying for almost two
years to get central sanction for the Viability
gap funding (VGF) for the first three corridors
of the Mumbai Metro. Viability is the sum the
government underwrites to make a project fi-
nancially viable for the promoter. On a visit to
the city in 2006, Reddy had promised Central
help for the first line of the Mumbai metro which
amounts to Rs 650 cr. But months had passed
without a sanction. “The state government had
in fact decided to go ahead with the first line
and was willing to pay the VGF costs if the cen-
tral funds did not flow in”, said official. The firstthree corridors of the Mumbai metro will cost
over Rs 22,000 crs, with the Versova Andheri
Ghatkhopar line costing Rs 2,356 crs, The
Colaba- Bandra-Mankhurd line Rs 6,000crs and
the Colaba- Bandra line over 12,000 crs.Mumbai
Metro One, a special purpose vehicle, was
floated to build the first corridor with Reliance
Energy Ltd as the major stake holder. The
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development

firm ,Veolia , are the other stake holders.
NEW LIFE FOR OLD
CHURCH RECORDSCatholics from Bandra to Borivali can look forward to tracing
their lineage back several hundred years with crumbling church
records receiving a fresh lease thanks to a conservation project at
St Andrews Church in Bandra, one of the oldest in the suburbs.
The project will not only preserve the family histories of the com-
munity for the coming generation but also contribute to under-
standing suburban life over the past few hundred years.
“St Andrews Church was established in 1580 and served a wide
population from Bandra right up to Juhu for several hundred
years. Some of its parishioners later migrated to Borivili and Vasai
to avoid the plagues which killed many people in the 19th cen-tury but continued to come to the church for baptism, marriages
and burials,” said Major Leon Fonseca who first pushed for the
project.
The old existing register dating back from 1750 has been re-
stored and the project is gathering steam. In a small room in the
church complex, the pain staking work of restoration is being
undertaken by experts from Intach who were brought in from its
Orissa art conservation centre for the project. It is expected to last
over six months and cost Rs 7 lakhs.Fonseca, a history buff, pointed
out that the root of the oldest register is from the church of Santa
Anna, the earliest church in Bandra which stood on grounds which
are now the BEST bus depot near the station. “The church was
blown up by the British Army as a defensive measure to prevent
it from being used as a staging point for an attack by the Maratha
Army in 1739.
Some of its registers and artifacts were taken to the other
churches in Bandra,” he said.“The church of Santa Anna was de-
stroyed but its register was preserved and will yield useful infor-
mation to any researcher who is curious enough to open its pages
for a read”, said Fonseca
