MAR THOMA SLEEHA SYRO MALABAR CATHEDRAL CHICAGO Issue 42 of 2016, YEAR OF MERCY October 16, 2016 Teresa lived in an age of exploration as well as political, social, and religious upheaval. It was the 16th century, a time of turmoil and reform. She was born before the Protestant Reformation and died almost 20 years after the closing of the Council of Trent. The gift of God to Teresa in and through which she became holy and left her mark on the Church and the world is threefold: She was a woman; she was a contemplative; she was an active reformer. As a woman, Teresa stood on her own two feet, even in the man s world of her time. She was her own woman, entering the Carmelites despite strong opposition from her father. She is a person wrapped not so much in silence as in mystery. Beautiful, talented, outgoing, adaptable, affectionate, courageous, enthusiastic, she was totally human. Like Jesus, she was a mystery of paradoxes: wise, yet practical; intelligent, yet much in tune with her experience; a mystic, yet an energetic reformer; a holy woman, a womanly woman. Blessed Kunjachan is considered as the apostle of the Delits as St. Paul is considered the apostle of the Gentiles. For centuries in Kerala, India, the Delits were treated as untouchables and even as unapproachables. The upper caste Hindus kept them at a specified distance. If this was violated, they had to purify themselves by a cleansing bath. Those low caste people were not even allowed to use the public roads. In 1926, when Kunjachan became the assistant Vicar of Ramapuram Parish and started his ministry among the Delits, he saw himself as one among them. He called them his children, his heart beat in sympathy with theirs, partaking of their joys and sorrows, worries, and consolations. At the beginning, there were not more than 300 Delits Catholics in the HOLY MASS SCHEDULE SEASON OF ELIJAH-SLEEVA-MOSES Gen-bþÇo-hmþaq-im Imew Parish but at the time of his departure from this field he could number no fewer than 5,000. It is by fervent prayers, fasting, and acts of penance that he was able to accomplish so much. Even when he fell ill, he would inquire about his beloved "children" and give them instructions from his sick bed. He loved them sincerely and in their turn the Delits loved him tenderly. They grew so fond of him that they came to think of him as their "own" Kunjachan. He was a father to them, spiritually and bodily. In treating his patients, he is known to have performed many miraculous cures. Hearing of these wonderful cures, even upper class Christians and Hindus sought his help and they were all carefully treated and looked after by him. Furthermore, he possessed God s grace, the charism of working miracles, and the gift of prophecy. Several occasions have been reported about his foretelling the future of some of his spiritual children and others who trusted in him.
