THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease..... All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God! held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down... But never found the time"

Adieu to Fr. Edwin Vaz, SVD
Written by Fr Cyprian Lewis SVD
Friday, 30 July 2010
Fr. Edwin Vaz
SVD had been serving in the Divine Call Centre, Mulki since last year. He
served this centre in various capacities as the Assistant Director,
Communication in-charge and in many ways in the retreat ministry. Though, a man
of few words, he made his presence felt in his own way. He went about doing his
work very quietly without being noticed. Yet, Sunday masses on the television
(Namma T. V.) would remind us of his presence very much and would speak a
volume about his dedication, commitment and his hard work.
Now that he goes to Mysore to take up his new assignment there as
a spiritual director, DCC wishes him all the very best and God’s blessings. We
are definitely going to miss him and his generous services in the Divine Call
Centre, Mulki.
