August 2017 - Anbiyam Topic and reflection from Rev.Fr.Peter Chinnappan

Anbyiam reflection for the month of August 2017

Scripture Reading: Mt. 14:22-33

This passage speaks about Jesus walking on the water and Peter sinking into the water. There is a very strong faith Jesus has in His Father, while Peter could not believe that he is actually walking on the water. When he doubted about his faith in Jesus he sinks into the water and then cries for help. Jesus calls him man of little faith.

Reflection: when storms of life approach us, how do we react? Like Peter or Jesus?

When realities of life engulf us, do we sink? Do we Cry for help? Have absolute faith in God? Rely upon our own strength which sometimes coming from our own selfishness? 

Do we really face the difficult, unethical and negative approach or Do we rely on God's abundance of grace that flows from the kind and compassionate heart of the Father and the Son?

It has been 11 years, since we found DTC. How does DTC help you to understand our culture and deepen your faith? What do you expect from DTC? How can you support DTC to grow strong in unity, and build a faith-filled community? How much can you involve in our community-building: when meet new family approach them warmly and make them feel at home with our community. I have a feeling that new members are left with their own family during fellowship. I would appreciate if old member could greet them sit with them make them feel comfortable instead of having your own small groups. This is a concrete step for building our community. 

On 1st September, we will start our annual celebration of novena and conclude on 9th.

Give you suggestions to our leadership team

God bless you
Fr. Peter
