Subject: Few thoughts on Night vigil

Hi shibu and team

Recently on Sunday after the Sunday class I just had an unofficial meeting with Tony Resin, Shyni Joy, Martin and Vijo Paul at Holand park church's under cover area. This was just to get a feed back from the charismatic prayer group here, how would they appreciate joining us in spending time with The Lord etc. they are more than happy and were ready to offer all support that they could. So as a matter of building and gaining trust and confidence I asked them to lead the P&W and Adoration. This is just for this time and we will definitely do give preference to jesus youth to do these activities. So slowly let us build it up

Kindly remember to pray for night vigil so that more people may come and those who come may experience it differently. This time also we may have to do it in Holand park as we have way of the cross there

I will speak with fr Joseph

Thank you 

Reji

Lent Day 27 - Why Your Body Matters for Prayer Christian prayer is embodied prayer. In C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters we discovered an experienced devil giving lessons to a young temptor. At one point, the veteran orders his young charge to encourage his 'client,' a budding Christian, to envision prayer as something very 'interior' and 'mystical,' having little to do with posture or the position of the body. He wants the poor Christian to think that whether he stands, slouches, sits, or kneels is irrelevant to the quality of his communication with God. This, of course, is the Cartesian voice, the belief that our bodies and souls are independent and have little to do with each other. But then consider the view of William James. In his Principles of Psychology, James writes that it is not so much sadness that makes us cry as crying that makes us feel sad. The body in a significant sense precedes the mind. The same dynamic occurs when we pray. It is not so much keen feelings of devotion that force us to our knees as kneeling that gives rise to keen feelings of devotion. If you're having difficulty in prayer today, try kneeling, or bowing, or making some sort of reverent gesture. The body often leads the mind into a deeper spiritual space.   "It is not so much keen feelings of devotion that force us to our knees as kneeling that gives rise to keen feelings of devotion." - Father Robert Barron
