| DONATION |
The church’s deepest
nature is expressed in her three fold responsibility: ie ‘proclaiming
the word of God’ (kerygma – matyria) ‘celebrating
the sacraments’ (leitourgia), and ‘exercising
the ministry of charity (diakonia). These duties presuppose
each other and are inseparable. For the church, ‘charity’
is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally be left
to others, but is a part of her nature, an indispensable expression
of her very being, Pope Benedict XVI writes in the Encyclical
letter ‘Dues Caritas East’. Thus the I.M.S as
its charism, live this commitment true to its call. We become
a medium to help the others. We remain responsible for actualizing
the purpose for which it is donated generously by the doner. |
The church is God’s family,
no one ought to go without the necessities of life. Yet at
the same time caritas agape extends beyond the frontiers of
the church. The parable of the Good Samaritan remains as a
standard which imposes universal love towards the needy whom
we encounter “by chance” (cf.Lk 10:31), whoever
they may be. Without in any way detracting from this
commandment of universal love, the church also has a specific
responsibility: within the ecclesial family no member should
suffer through being in need. The teaching of the Letter of
the Galatians is emphatic: “so then, as we have opportunity,
let us do good to all, and especially to those who are household
of faith” (6:10) (Dues Carita East). |
Given below are the main
avenues through which you can make a difference to the lives
of the less privileged of God’s Children. GOD BLESS
YOU. |

Houses
for people who have no house to live in. Our vision
was to build 2000 houses by 2000 A.D. At
the completion of this program we constructed
few houses for Tsunami Victims of Ayiramthai and
Azheekkal of Alappuzha District. ‘Jeevanraksha
cell’ has played an important role in actualizing
this project. We do help in renovating and repairing
houses too. |
