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"

A five day residential
retreat in Kannada concluded at Divine Call Centre Mulki on 20th February
2010. This retreat was specially organised in preparation for Lent as an
opportunity to renew people’s life in the Lord. The first two days retreat was
conducted by Divine Call Centre Retreat team. The Potta team carried on for the
next three days. The centre and the people were specially blessed by the
presence of Rt. Rev. Dr. Aloysius Paul D’Souza, Bishop of
Mangalore, who celebrated the Holy Eucharist on Thursday 18th February.
The Potta team led by Rev Fr.
Anto Kannampuzah conducted the Healing Service on the final day of the
retreat
on Saturday. More than Nine hundred faithful participated on the final
day of
this special retreat, as it was open to those who wanted to make one day
retreat.
The thirst for the Word of God and a desire to lead a 'Spirit filled' life was quite evident among the participants. The participants were full of praise to God and thanked him for the miracles He worked in them. Many gave testimony in the presence of the people gathered to the favours they received during these five days which included physical healings, mental peace and relief from various kinds of bondages, gift of forgiveness and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
