The Catholic Church in India, on Jan 30 has endorsed a Supreme Court (SC) order that invalidated Church courts or ecclesiastic tribunals annulling marriage of a Catholic couple.The president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) Cardinal Oswald Gracias said at a press conference,  organized at the Bhopal Pastoral Centre that there is no contradiction in the SC order as they  have been following it even before.The prelate also made it clear that the annulment of the marriages by the church courts does not violate any civil law and hence, make no offence.The SC in its January 19 order declared the divorce granted by the ecclesiastical tribunal under the Christian personal law as invalid as it cannot override the laws of the land while dismissing a public interest litigation (PIL) that sought direction to legalize the marriage annulment by the church courts.The vice president of the CCBI, Bishop Filipe Neri Ferrao, secretary general of the CCBI, Bishop Vargh...
Is 58:7-10; I Cor 2:1-5; Mt 5: 13-16There is a story about a duck that broke his wing during the flight home for the winter. A sympathetic farmer retrieved the fallen duck and took him home. The farmer's children adopted the duck as their pet and began to feed him from the table and take him along as they performed their daily chores. By the next fall, the children were heartbroken as they watched the duck look at the other ducks who were flying south for the winter, but his wing still wasn't strong enough for the flight. Every time a flock flew south, the duck would look longingly into the sky and then return to play with the children. Well, the second year the duck's wing had grown much stronger, but the children had fed the duck so well that when he attempted to take off he was too fat to get off the ground. After one or two attempts he gave up and returned to play with the children. The third year the duck was completely healed. But as the other ducks quacked their...

Vatican City, Jan 31, 2017 / 08:49 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Jesus wasn’t worried about his polling results, Pope Francis said Tuesday – instead, he was concerned with each and every person, seeing everything about them, even those things which were seemingly small or inconsequential.“Statisticians might have been inclined to publish: ‘Rabbi Jesus’ popularity is falling.’ But he sought something else: he sought people,” the Pope said Jan. 31 during Mass at Casa Santa Marta.“And the people sought him. The people had their gaze fixed on him, and he had his fixed on them.”People might be tempted to say, yes, Jesus looks on the people, “on the multitude,” Francis said, but no, he looks on each individual person. “This is the peculiarity of Jesus’ gaze,” he explained. “He does not standardize people; He looks at each person.”In the book of Hebrews, it says to run the race of faith “with perse...
