DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
PRAISE, PETITION AND REPENTANCE
Very. Rev. K. Mathai Cor-Episcopa 
Prayer is a means of communication with Triune God. It includes praise, petition and repentance. No prayer is perfect without praise and glory to God. The Lord is worthy of praise and worship, because He is the creator of all, Father who loves the world and there is none above Him. Come to the Lord not with the pride of the Pharisee, but with the humility of the Publican who had repented and returned to his home with forgiveness.

By Very Rev. K. Mathai Cor-Episcopa, Vicar
The St. John’s 17th chapter is well-known for our Lord Jesus’ high-priestly prayer. The whole chapter is devoted to Christ’s prayer (a) for Himself at the face of the Cross, (b) for His twelve Disciples for joy, divine protection, and sanctification, (c) for all believers who have already believed and those in all generations and all nations yet to believe in Him. The Evangelion for Holy Qurbana comprises of the Lord’s prayers for His twelve Disciples and the universal church. The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible was used for reference purpose. This was prepared in two sections: (a) Christ’s prayers for His Disciples and (b) His prayers for the believers. Saturday, 03 April 2010 04:44 |  Written by Ciby Abraham | | |
 A small number of St. Gregorios members dedicated themselves to keeping the vigil throughout the night of Good Friday into Holy Saturday. Most of the attendees were our young Sunday School students and aspiring altar boys. Activities included reading the psalms, praying during set hours, meditation and discussion. The experience was challenging but very beneficial for the participants. Although we ended the vigil weary from keeping watch throughout the night, we feel better prepared to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. |
