I am very much thankful to all the members of the Catholic Forum including Prayer Leaders and Reverend Priests who prayed for my campus exams.Last few days I was not well especially due to an indigestion. Forgive me for posting this thanking message much delayed. May God bless and protect all of you! I wish all the members including Elders,Prayer leaders,Rev.Fathers and Sisters a Very Merry and Christful X’mas and the coming year 2015 a Happy and Peaceful one N.B.- Our revolutionary Holy Father Francis is visiting my motherland Sri Lanka next January to canonize Blessed Joseph Vaz,a brave Indian,humble Catholic priest who arrived in Sri Lanka during PERSECUTION OF CATHOLICS BY THE COLONIAL DUTCH GOVERNMENT WHO BANNED CATHOLICISM IN SRI LANKA. One of his miracles was in a time of heavy drought the regional king of Sri Lanka got the successful assistance of Father Joseph Vaz to bring back rain which had been unsucceeded by Buddhist priests.The biggest wonder was the outdoor altar which Blessed Joseph Vaz handled to celebrate the religious event to stop drought REMAINED DRY DESPITE HEAVY RAINFALL. Thank God and may his almighty bless and protect our island Sri Lanka through our new Patron Saint Joze Vaz.
