That glorious Form, that Light unsufferable,
And that far-beaming blaze of Majesty
Wherewith He wont at Heaven’s high council-table
To sit the midst of Trinal unity,
He laid aside; and here with us to be,
Forsook the courts of everlasting day
And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay! (John
Milton)
CHRISTMAS PEACE, JOY, LOVE
&
BLESSINGS TO ONE AND ALL !
CONGRATULATIONS!

and with what force! We just hope that the winter is not going to remain too
harsh through the season. The Indian community in Leuven celebrated Diwali, the
Festival of Lights, on November 17 with much gaiety and pomp. It was a
blend of cultures - South Indian, North Indian, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh
and Belgian - overtly expressed in the various events that were held on
the occasion. The lighting of lamps, beautifully decorated on the map of India, by every one
present set the tone for the evening-long celebration and the delicious
Indian cuisine offered the fitting finale for the Festivities. We all now await
the arrival of Sint Niklaas (St. Nicholas, not the same as Santa Claus) on
December 6, who will herald the spirit of Christmas in the households,
churches, schools and markets. I wish every one of you a blessed Advent.(John)

FR. A.
ANTONISWAMY, S.J. (17.09.1933 – 12.11.2007) : Fr. Swami was one of the
greatest missionaries of Jamshedpur Diocese. He learned the tribal languages of

Gracious Love to the people where ever he was missioned. He was loved by
one and all. He had time for everybody and surrendered his life in total
dedication to serve the Lord and His People as a true Jesuit. He left us to
receive the Eternal Award unannounced
on November 12 sitting on an easy chair in his room in meditation posture. He
is now truly our mediator and inspirer to spread the Word to all the people of Jamshedpur Diocese and Province. He was
given a tearful and fitting farewell by the Clergy, Religious and Friends
numbering over 450 on November 15 at Jesu Bhavan, Mango. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN LOVE AND JOY WITH THE DIVINE MASTER FOREVER!
RIP: Fr. A. Antoniswami, S.J. (Socius to the Jesuit Provincial of Jamshedpur) died on 12.11.2007: All the Priests and
Religious working in Jamshedpur Diocese may please offer one Mass for Fr. Swami!
Morning Star College, Barrackpore: The month of
November brought in a kind of gloom and murkiness due to the unjust attack on
the people of Nandigram by the political opportunists and religious
fundamentalists. The gloom got bigger with the news of the fresh attack on the
Tribals in some packet of Assam.
The Philosophers and Theologians had their Monthly Recollection
on 8th and 15th Nov. respectively. The fourth
year Theologians are out in Varanasi
for a fortnight of Ashram Experience. The Feast of
Christ the King was celebrated with joy and religious fervor. Our
winter holidays begin from 13th of December. Kindly pray
for peace and justice among the people of Nandigram and Assam.(Felix Anthony)
