“…Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us.” (2 Thessalonians 3:9)

Most people who live a grateful and generous lifestyle don’t go around bragging about it. But through their actions and words, others do take notice. They notice because of the joy and peace that results and other people desire this in their own life. Know that the way you live your life may be the only interaction others have with our Catholic faith.

My dear friends in Christ,

My hometown in India was predominantly a Catholic place when I grew up. Starting from attending daily masses, morning and evening prayers in the Church, celebrating Sunday masses like a big feast, and the parochial feast of the patron saint, St James celebrated for nine days, had a strong impact in my heart. Walking 8 miles as a pilgrimage to attend the feast of St. Sebastian was a thing that I looked forward every year. Thus, my faith in God has strong roots founded on a Catholic Community that was deeply rooted in Catholic traditions. I do believe that as a cradle Catholic, I received my vocation from the same community where I saw many Catholic men joyfully embracing their priestly vocation. All such indelible impacts were made by a Catholic Community in India was some 50 years ago.

Where are we as communities of faith today? Some of us who are above 50 may claim the same impact in your lives through your parents and strong faith communities in a rural set up. As we are floating through the world wide web, the fabric and dynamics of our communities have changed. We are constantly drawn toward different directions to manage our daily life. Our spiritual, psychological, emotional, relational and material energy are depleted easily as every external force of our life constantly vying for our attention. If that is the reality of our life, then what kind of faith communities we need to build today? We really need a Church community that is strong and vibrant, rooted in the love of Christ, led by His true Spirit, willingness to serve each other generously that we all seek to follow Jesus earnestly. Staying together in Christ, walking together with Him every day, proclaiming His truth with gentleness and understanding, we need to encourage one another to grow in our faith. We need to grow in a consciousness of interdependence. The reason Jesus emphasized on the twofold commandment of Loving God and our neighbor is to show us that we need a community to grow deeper in our faith. I do believe that we have such a spirit of a living community with us. However, we need to grow much more in this respect. It is not the responsibility of a few in every parish to come forward to serve others. We are all together in this game. We all owe something to this faith community and to its growth. I invite you to reflect about, what are the ways we can build this Catholic Community? What ways can I contribute to its growth? Thus, what kind of faith I can hand over to the next generation?

 Your brother in Christ,

Fr. Xavier Ilango
