Sumithra Y M Dear Confreres, Sisters, Friends, Thank you for the enormous love and concern for Fr. James Poonthuruthil. Please do continue prayin g for the speedy recovery of Fr. James. Fr. James is at NEIGRIHMS, Shillong where there is one of the best Neuro Surgery Dept in Northeast India. The doctors and the team have done a very quality and dedicated medical intervention of removing the blood clot from the brain (the intervention is named in medical vocabulary: decompressive craniectomy - related to the skull - with clot evacuation). They also placed an ICP monitor for constant monitoring of intracranial pressure on the brain. He has been responding to the interventions positively. Other external injuries like the fracture of the little finger on the right hand, injury on the face and other wounds are being attended to. The main concern is the brain injury. A portion of the brain is damaged and the entire brain has suffered trauma. As far as medical science is concerned, damaged portion of the brain can't be healed. There is no treatment for damaged brain. All effort is to arrest the bleeding in the brain and in the surroundings, which the medical team has succeeded well. A portion of the skull bone is removed and kept in the abdomen. The skull is bandaged. The brain area needs regular observation.The effort continues to reactivate the rest of the brain which has suffered trauma. Fr. James continues to be in unconscious stage since the time of the accident in the afternoon of Sunday 14th Jan 2018. The coma situation is partly medically induced for not causing any agitation or irritation which can further damage the brain. The expression of the medical team yesterday (Thursday 18th Jan) is this: Fr. James is not critical, but not yet out of danger. There are many hurdles to overcome. The possibility of any infection is also a major concern. He moves his legs and hands, but in the opinion of the doctors it is involuntary; he is not obeying any commands; which indicates that the brain is not responding. It is to be kept in mind that any injury of the brain takes time ... at times long time ... for healing .. and damage to brain is irreversible (medically). Hence, according to the medical opinion, in the event of gradual recovery which will take months, Fr. James will not have the full capacity of functioning as a healthy person; but God's grace is more powerful than the medical sciences.We trust in Him. We are in constant contact with the family members of Fr.James. Fr. Shijy MSFS, the Parish Priest of Hamren (Karbi Anglong), is the younger brother of Fr.James. His nephew, Mr. Shaji is at New Bongaigaon. They have visited Fr. James at the hospital. This evening the sister and brother of Fr. James will be reaching Shillong. We assure them that we are very much with them and do everything possible to give the best of treatment for Fr. James. We are in discussion with the hospital team and others on the need and the possibility of shifting Fr. James to elsewhere for further medical attention. We hope to arrive at a well informed and well discerned decision in a day or two. There are serious concerns in such a decision. We are looking into all the possible angles of such a decision. Dear Confreres, sisters and friends ....God can do miracle ... He does it ... we surrender Fr. James into the loving, healing arms of the Lord through the maternal intervention of Mary our Mother. Please do continue praying for Fr. James. We do appreciate your concern and solidarity. May I request those of you who spread / circulate pictures and news about Fr. James (I know it is out of good will and concern, but lacking discretion), please refrain from doing it. It is true that the accident is real and the pictures are real; but it is no charity and common sense to spread such disturbing pictures. Please spread only the messages and the news that I, as Provincial, put into communication. Appreciate your eagerness to visit Fr. James at the hospital. But due to the seriousness of the case and fearing infection, visitors are not permitted to enter the CCU. There are always confreres outside the CCU attending on Fr. James. If you visit the hospital you can meet them and not Fr. James in the CCU. Please respect this instruction till I can communicate to you otherwise. Fr. Nestor Guria (Provincial of Dimapur) is in Shillong. Fr. VM Thomas (Provincial of Guwahati) is in constant contact. We meet with the confreres of Sacred Heart College. We share and discern what is best course of action for Fr. James taking into consideration professional input from the medical teams at various hospitals. Please share this communication with others. Our prayers are with you dear Fr. James ... get well soon! Affectionately, Fr. George Maliekal (INS SDB Provincial) 19.1.2018 Peter Dion We pray : Jesus, I trust in You. Ray Warner Prayers for those suffering in this world and who have not yet heard the Gospel. I am thankful for quiet mornings filled with reading Scripture, prayer, and silence.

John Allen Green Thanksgiving in gratitude for remembrance of ordination to the priesthood in 2010. Sumithra Y M Medical update on Fr. James In general we may say that the condition of Fr. James remains critical. So prayers are the only thing we can do right now. The doctors at NEIGRHIMs re doing their best. As of today there is a little good news, namely, that his BP has gone up almost to normal and so the danger to the heart is avoided. But there is still a swelling of the brain due to the shock and trauma and the multiple bleeding. Now the doctors are operating on him. They will remove a part of the skull and keep it like that for some days to treat the brain from its swelling and from haemorrhages. If this intervention is successful then it is good news, but if it does not help, then other interventions will have to be done. There is a large bleeding and other small ones which need to be treated if possible by medication. As of now Fr. James in a semi-consciousness state and on artificial ventilation. We know there are many people, priests, religious and lay persons who are praying for his recovery. Thanks to each one of them and let us continue to storm heaven for this singular grace.

However I would like to ask your prayers for the men and women of my adoptive city of Charlotte who are homeless tonight. I and a number of other people are hosting a cold weather shelter at various churches and other humanitarian organizations tonight called Room in the Inn: we provide a bed and hot food and a warm and quiet place to sleep out of the cold (which is due to drop below freezing, even here in the South). Something like 150 people will get beds for the night through this program, and other shelters will host up to maybe 300 more. This is truly a blessing! I ask your prayers both for those who will be placed and also-- perhaps especially-- for those who will have to be turned away or are not able to make it to a shelter. God's peace be with you! Pax et bonum Rogervic Mattal .......Jesus provide your shelter to the vulnerable...and give those who are helping the energy of the Holy Spirit...to complete this beautiful ministry in...Your Holy Name.......

Magdala Casey Prayers for understanding and peace. John Allen Green We pray for peace in our family: It is only in Truth based on our relationship with Jesus the Christ that our peace and joy are to be found. “I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid.” Jesus also clearly warned us about basing our peace and joy on relationships with others, even family. The crowd that was sitting around Jesus told him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want to see you." Jesus asked, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother." (Mk 3:32-35) I understand that this is a particularly hard injunction from Jesus for those who are spouses, parents and grandparents. It was my dear friend and mentor, the Jesuit father Ivan who advised me that when there is any discord and upheaval around you, to go back to the center and find your foundation on which you build your life and out of which you find your “being”. For me this is Jesus the Christ within, the Way, the Truth and the Life, and all my endeavors, work and efforts are based on striving to be a disciple and priest of the Christ in the footsteps of St Francis of Assisi whose way of life was the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Based on this gospel we are first to judge ourselves so that from basis of truth we may “go out into the whole world and preach the gospel” and then admonish sinners to “repent and believe in the good news.” This foundation of my life can be particularly problematic and irritating for the inner circle of “blood family”, who find my way “preachy” or in conflict with their own lives. It was even so for St Francis of Assisi himself. I am truly grateful to you, Kenneth, Susan and Alta who have supported me in every way during my sickness and infirmity. The only way I can ever repay this is through my daily prayers and petitions in the offering of the Holy Mass for your intentions and the intentions of your families. Forgive me for quoting from my last homily to accuse ourselves first by which we seek the “untangling of knots”, forgiveness and mercy of a loving God and then for the forgiveness any that we may have harmed: This is the call to true repentance; a complete turn away from all self-righteousness that hides my anger, my pride and my arrogance with which I compare my honesty to their corruption, my gratitude to their selfishness, and my courage against their incompetence. Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins; the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul, the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed for so long, and which are now hidden from my memory. I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial, for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour. I know my sins have wounded your Sacred Heart, the sins of my body; my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins; the sins of my vindictive indifference. O my Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through your most bitter Passion, my Redeemer. Amen. Know that I wish you all every peace and good that you could desire for yourselves and ask your forgiveness for any stress, harm or bitterness that I may have caused you. I love you all and pray daily the apostolic blessing upon your lives. John Allen, the little Franciscan brother and penitent hermit. Peter Dion Thanks and Praises to God You blessings my OFH Brothers and Sisters. Bless that OFH will be added more new Brothers and Sisters.

Thank you Lord. Amen Joy Marzynski 💕🙏 continued prayer for sanctity, growth in holiness, humility, gentleness, meekness, forgiveness of others, spiritual Joy, and above all charity, and deepening of spirituality and our relationship with Jesus for all of us. Today, we celebrate two memorials, firstly, the beatified Franciscan Blessed Bernard of Corleone, who, though beginning his life as a quarrelsome and violent youth, converted, devoting his life to God as a Capuchin monk who strove to become like Christ Crucified through heroic love and penance. We also commemorate the memorial of the Canadian Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, who suffered through many heartbreaking disappointments in her attempts to become a contemplative nun, eventually learning that "when God closes the door, He opens a window. She was sent to what is present day Montreal to open a school at a mission, and then from there, in her 70s, walked to Quebec to open another one there. It wasn't until 2 years before her death that she and her fellow sisters were recognized as a religious congregation. Even when we believe that we have the purest of intentions, God may have other plans for us. As our Blessed Mother, we must humbly submit, praying our fiat with our entire being, trusting in God's Providence. I learned this the hard way, as most lessons in life are learned, seeking Religious life for years, experiencing many tears and heartbreaks before surrendering to His Plans for me as a consecrated church hermit. Even after praying my fiat, it took time to realize exactly what He was asking of me. I am grateful for the gift of my vocation, and repent for those times I am negligent or stubbornly resisted my calling. I repent for those times that the pain of my illness has me crying out rather than joyfully thanking God for that blessing. Fiat, my Spouse! Francisco Ugorji Jr. Lord I Pray for ur Favours and Mercies and Protection Upon My Family Everyday, Amen!

We are sorry for our sins and pray that we may be made worthy of your promises. Thank You Lord, We Love You.  |
