A
black dog sits with its owner in the Church. In between the mass it keeps
walking to and from. After mass, I am standing down the
stairs, in front of the Tabernacle. I see the dog run up into the
Sanctorum.

In
the first week of January, a neighbour gave my mom 2 little puppies. Till then
we just had a Pomeranian, Dan is cute.
My
mom was extremely happy and asked me what we
should name them. I quickly answered, Popeye and Bruno knowing they were
brothers. My mom was also thinking of a name Bruno, and so decided that would
be their names.
I
love watching animals, but I am very terrified of them. I talk with them. With Dan, I just pat him on his head.
The
first time Bruno and Popeye saw me, they went on a barking spree. By the third day, Popeye
became quieter not Bruno. He would do the grrrrrr sound.
Popeye
loves to wiggle a lot. There is always a joyful dance when he is given to eat.
Overall a joyful puppy. I don’t think you will ever find one such as Popeye.
Bruno
is an intelligent puppy. He is bold and strong. He is learning to be grateful
watching Popeye. But somehow, I feel
connected to Bruno. It’s like he is learning to speak with me. Maybe I am
beginning to understand him. He senses my fear and hence when it is food time, he lets me without trying to jump and Popeye, his joy exceeds his
understanding of my fear. So he begins to dance and Bruno comes and keeps him
away so I can give them to eat.
The
first day, I heard just a bark late in the evening from Bruno. It was dark
outside. I looked at Bruno, looked around and saw one out of the three gates we
have is open. I closed it and then I realized I understood Bruno.
The
second day, around the same time, Bruno barked, and it was the gate again.
Third and fourth day I noticed the time, 07:30 and there would be a bark from
Bruno. Single loud bark. After that I would make sure to check for the gate.
When
leaving, it was difficult. Dan did not want to look at me. He turned his back
on me and sat. Bruno and Popeye did not understand when I waved out saying Bye.
I told each one of them, I love them.
On
the 23rd, in the evening my mom calls up and tells me that Bruno is
very sick.
Today
in the afternoon, my mom lets me know that Bruno died and he was being buried
as my mom was speaking with me.
I
am in a loss for words. As the night draws on, the pain grows, I can’t stop
crying. I pray to God for help. I never ever thought that a puppy could get me
to cry.

Fr. Reuben 06:45 Fr. Christopher 07:30 Fr. Joe
I am in pain and as confused as I am, I think of going for the second
mass, but I make it to the church at 6.00 am.
At
breakfast, my cousin notices my eyes are swollen. He asks me how I am. And I tell
him, terrible. The truth no matter how nasty it may sound, it has the power to
set you free. And that is what my cousin does with his words.
I
will miss Bruno. But there is also a lesson I continue to learn. That
everything no matter how we think of it, makes an impact in our lives. We must
be grateful to the Almighty God for each blessing that comes our way.

10:15
am –Fr. Alvaro.
Gospel:
Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19
My
favourite: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped
for, the conviction of things not seen.
I love Fr. Alvaro. I love the celebration of the mass.
In the evening, I was blessed with being able to hear today, from my right ear. Last month it was my left ear. I don’t know how to express the wonder of being able to hear this clear and loud. It is wonderful.
Just minutes after expressing to my cousin, my ability of being able to hear, my Hard Disk Drive, crashes completely with no sign of a problem at all. It was just 2 years old. I lost all data of more than 15 years. All my pictures that I have worked on, all my wonderful collection of songs, all my wonderful Christmas Carols, all gone.
I lost my collection of software’s. I have very little data left and that is the most recent one, on another HD.
My UPS too got corrupted.
I was quiet for two days. I was literally in tears. My poor cousin he looked for some way to help me.
All I could think that moment is, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. I fell sick after that. I did not know what to say and how to express my pain.
Day 1 of Heaven!
Some days back, the internet service went down due to a fire breakage.
It took nearly a month and a half to get our connection back.

Communion
Fr. Reuben.
Most
beautiful flowers on the Altar. I loved
it all and especially the white Roses. So beautiful.
I
have always admired and loved Fr. Joe. He has a tremendous voice. I still can
hear us as children sing the praises of God at the Eucharistic Adoration. I remember how we along with Fr. Joe, would sing with all our
heart and soul. I remember, the range at which we sang, time does not diminish it,
I can still hear the sound.

I
for the first time hear Fr. Reuben sing so crystal clear. I am now, able to hear the range and the
depth of his voice. His voice still echoes longer than the echo in the
valley and longer still in my head. My heart, is forever grateful to
God. To God all praise. I loved the celebration of the mass to a perfect T.

I
was looking for some other topic altogether and I found Fr.
Joe "You Raise Me Up"
Kripanite 2016 (Serendipity moment). I hear him sing so beautifully. And then I felt deeply that I must continue to watch. Fr.
Reuben (the chief guest) mentions he is born the year Fr. Joe was ordained.
Fr.
Reuben goes on to say, I had a dream. (ABBA' song, I have a dream. (I love ABBA
and I love this song.))
In
the 1st week of September, 2017, I remember Fr. Joe mentioned that he
would complete 50 years of priesthood and his birthday was on the 6th
of the month. He asked for us to pray for him.
The number (the year) 67 for both.

(I
came across this just the last week of September-I loved every bit of it.)
On
the Side of God Neither wealth nor possessions can buy heaven, mend a broken
heart, or cheer a lonely person. Jesus asks the question: What will a person
give in exchange for his or her life? Everything we have is a generous gift
from God. We owe him everything, including our very lives. It’s possible to
give God our money, but not ourselves, or to give him lip-service, but not our
hearts. As St Paul says in his second reading we must be careful not to be
trapped by the lure of the glamour of the secular world around us. A true
disciple gladly gives up all that he has in exchange for an unending life of
joy and happiness with God. God gives without measure. The joy He offers no
sadness or loss can diminish. The cross of Christ leads to victory and freedom
from sin and death. What is the cross which Jesus Christ is commanding you to
take up each day? It is His teaching that you must follow to gain eternal
happiness. Are you ready to lose all for Jesus Christ in order to gain all with
Jesus Christ?

When I am about to upload this letter, my moms computer malfunctions. This takes days. I know it is always upto God.
25th
October, 2019.
There
is a heavy wind outside and the kitchen doors open up (a double door). As I go to close it I see a rat race through to my mom’s room. My mom looks for it everywhere and
is unable to find the rat. My mom asks me did you really see the rat?
27th

10:15 - Celebration of the mass, Fr. Gerard Rodricks
Fr. Gerard read out a poem. I love poems.
I loved the celebration of the mass. Perfect!
Thank God, Fr. Reuben announced Fr. Gerards name.
23rd November, 2019.
Today, it is far worse than ever. It feels so dark and depressive. And I love the Rainbow. I love the Sun. This is not what I like to feel or who I am. But it is so deep down, that happiness seems to be a galaxy away. All I feel is darkness.
I wake up Sunday morning the 24th, not feeling any better. I feel this urge not to attend Sunday morning mass. The Grace of God gets me to Church.
And then I start feeling better at the celebration of the mass and during the mass, Jesus speaks with me saying you are in my passion.
At the Holy Hour, as Fr. Reuben prays, I feel complete relief. My soul feels complete JOY!
24th November, 2019.
Feast of Christ The King.
10:15 – Fr. Reuben (Most beautiful celebration of the mass.)
11:00 – Holy Hour conducted by Fr. Reuben. Again indescribably beautiful (warm and gentle).
5:30 – Holy Hour.
I sit with Fr. Alvaro a minute or two. I love this moment, that God has, in His goodness granted to me. I will forever remember the goodness and kindness of God.
6:00 – Procession. Fr. Reuben.
I am standing in the procession and Trixie comes in and immediately, lets me know that she will stand with me. I know Trixie, from the Bible study class, when I used to attend. She always asked a question if she had a doubt. It was always a joy to listen to her and the way she would put forth the question to Fr. Ashlyn. She has an unusual joy in the manner with which she speaks. I love that about Trixie.
I thank God for her company. It was good.
7:30 – A talk by Fr. Daniel. It was bold. (I am not sure of the term used for the talk)
