Holy Qurbana on Thu., June 2nd @6pm - Ascension of our Lord
The Feast of the Ascension of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is celebrated each year on the fortieth day after Easter. The Feast is always celebrated on a Thursday. The Feast itself commemorates when, on the fortieth day after His Resurrection, Jesus led His disciples to the Mount of Olives, and after blessing them and asking them to wait for the fulfillment of the promise of the Holy Spirit, He ascended into heaven.
Happy Easter!
Good Friday Service
Good Friday Service was held on April 22nd from 9am to 3:30pm. All the faithful participated in our first Good Friday Service at the new church. Kanji was provided for all the members after the service.
Devotional Thoughts for Pesaha - April 21, 2011
The new covenant in the blood of our Lord
(H.G. Mathews Mar Barnabas)
May I explain the importance of the Holy Eucharist (Holy Qurbana) celebrated by our Lord before His self-sacrifice on the cross.
There are two important aspects connected with it. 1) Through the Holy Qurbana we receive our Lord into us. 2) We make a dedication to lead a godly life. It is the new covenant that we make with God.
Let us see how we make this covenant with God. In the book of Exodus chapter 24, we find how a covenant was made between the Israelites and God. This is the old covenant. This covenant which God made with the Israelites was the covenant He made at Mount Sinai as recorded in the book of Exodus.
