Discours de Monseigneur Anandarayar à l’ occasion
de la remise du titre de ‘Membre honoraire’ des MEP
Cher Monseigneur Georges Colomb Evêque-élu du diocèse
de la Rochelle et Saintes, très Révérend Père Gilles Reithinger,
actuel Supérieur Général de la Société des Missions Etrangères
de Paris, Révérend Père Raymond Rossignol, Révérend Père
Camille Cornu, chers membres de la Société des Missions
Etrangères de Paris, ici présents, Révérends Pères, Frères,
Sœurs, chers amis, Bonsoir â tous. A vous grâce, paix et joie
dans le Christ ressuscité!
C’est avec une grande émotion et une profonde joie que je
tiens à remercier Monseigneur Georges Colomb et la Société
des Missions Etrangères de Paris de me conférer le titre de
‘Membre Honoraire de MEP.’ Le lien historique entre les
Missions Etrangères de Paris et Pondichéry est très profond et
très ancien. C’est de cette chapelle de I’ Epiphanie que sont
partis tous vos prêtres missionnaires qui se sont mis à notre
service : toute une assemblée de saints prêtres nous entoure
ici.
Les Jésuites français avaient travaillé à Pondichéry dès 1700.
En 1773, le Pape Clément XIV a supprimé l’Ordre des Jésuites.
En 1776, le Pape Pie VI a donné la Mission Malabar ou Mission
Carnatique à la Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris.
Monseigneur Pierre Brigot, MEP, était alors nommé Premier
Supérieur de la Mission Malabar le 30 Septembre 1776.
Comme nous le savons tous, les trios objectifs des Missions
Etrangères de Paris sont: D’abord, la proclamation de l’Evangile;
ensuite, la formations des clergés indigènes, et puis
l’établissement des Eglises locales. Vous êtes porteurs de la
Lumière du Christ en Asie, grâce à votre dévouement et à votre
inépuisable générosité.

Pour la formation des clergés indigènes, le grand Séminaire
Saint Joseph a ouvert à Pondichéry en 1778. Puis, il a été
transféré en 1934 à Bangalore à cause de son climat plus
clément ; à cette occasion, il a été renommé Séminaire Saint
Pierre. Vous continuez encore aujourd’hui, par votre
hospitalité, à former des prêtres-étudiants pour toute l’Asie et
pour l’Inde en particulier, prêtres qui, à leur retour, forment
nos futures prêtres. Vous accueillez aussi l’aumônier de la
communauté tamoule en France. Merci beaucoup pour votre
générosité.
Après Monseigneur Brigot, Monseigneur Champenois et
Monseigneur Hébert furent Supérieurs de la Mission de
Pondichéry. En 1836, Monseigneur Clément Bonnand, MEP,
devint le Vicaire Apostolique de la Mission Pondichéry. C’est à
cette période en 1844, que le fameux premier Synode de
Pondichéry eut lieu. Les Pères Synodaux ont alors décidé de
séparer le Vicariat Apostolique de Pondichéry en trios régions
: c’est-à-dire, la Mission de Pondichéry avec à sa tête
Monseigneur Bonnand, MEP ; la Mission de Mysore avec
Monseigneur Charbonnaux, MEP, et la Mission de Coimbatore
avec Monseigneur de Marion Brésillac.
Pour la formation et l’éducation des jeunes filles, et pour la
promotion des femmes, le Père Louis-Savinien Dupuis, MEP,
fonda en 1844 la Congrégation du Cœur Immaculé de Marie,
à Pondichéry. Le Synode avait donné comme priorité :
l’Evangélisation.
En 1886, la hiérarchie ecclésiastique indienne était etablie
par le Pape Léon XIII. Monseigneur Laouënan devint le premier
Archevêque de Pondichéry. De 1776 à 1956, il y eut 9 évêques
MEP à Pondichéry, 8 évêques MEP à Mysore, 7 évêques MEP
à Coimbatore, 2 évêques MEP à Kumbakonam et 1 évêque
MEP à Salem. En tout, il y eut 27 évêques MEP en Inde.

Personnellement, j’ai été admis au Séminaire Sainte Agnès
à Cuddalore par le Recteur, le Père Henri Viallet, MEP. Puis,
au Grand Séminaire Saint Pierre de Bangalore, ce fut le père
Rossignol, MEP qui fut alors notre recteur; le père Viallet a été
mon directeur spirituel pendant 7 ans. Nous avons eu comme
professeurs, le père Lucien Legrand, et les Pères Penven,
Harou, Pennel, Mirande, Harmandon. Je suis réellement très
reconnaissant à tous ces excellent professeurs qui, tous, étaient
membres de la Société des MEP.
Après mes études à Rome, j’ai été professeur de droit canon
et de missiologie, et puis vice-recteur et recteur du Séminaire
Pontifical Saint-Pierre à Bangalore de 1981 à 1997. C’est une
grande joie pour moi d’avoir contribué à la formation de plus
de 700 prêtres, dont 8 ont été consacrés Evêques. Je continue
à donner des cours aux étudiants en maitrise de droit canon.
Après avoir été évêque du diocèse d’Ooty pendant 7 ans et
demi, j’ai été nommé archevêque de Pondichéry et Cuddalore,
et je le suis depuis douze ans.
Pendant Presque 300 ans, Pondichéry a été la caitale des
comptoirs coloniaux français en Inde. Aujourd’hui dans la
république indienne, Pondichéry demeure un vivant foyer de
la langue et du rayonnement culturel français. C’est une porte
d’entrée privilégiée de la France en Inde, un espace de
rencontres et de partage.
Chrétiens de Pondichéry, nous le sommes par la grâce de
Dieu. Cette merveilleuse grâce de Dieu est arrivée Jusqu’à nous
par les 331 membres de la Société des Missions Etrangères de
Paris a Pondichéry. Je suis donc infiniment reconnaissant â la
Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris de nous avoir montré
le chemin vers le Seigneur.

Message
Grâce au soufflé de l’Esprit Saint, l’Eglise est missionnaire
par nature. Par cette vocation native, la France a mérité le titre
de ‘Fille aînée de l’Eglise'. Elle a donne à cette dernière un
très grand nombre de missionnaires, de Saints et de Saintes.
Les membres de la Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris se
sont engagés dans la mission du Christ en Asie dans l’Océan
Indien depuis 350 ans, pour former une Eglise locale qui
recueille les fruits de vos efforts et sacrifices.
Je suis très heureux d’être associé aux Missions Etrangères
de Paris depuis ma jeunesse, et maintenant je leur suis encore
plus reconnaissant de me faire l’honneur et la joie de me
conférer ce titre de ‘Membre Honoraire de la Société des
Missions Etrangères de Paris.’
Une fois encore, je remercie très sincèrement Monseigneur
Georges Colomb, le très Révérend Père Gilles Reithinger,
Supérieur Général, leurs associés et la Société des Missions
Etrangères de Paris, pour cette initiative particulièrement
gratifiante. Pour terminer, je souhaite à Monseigneur Georges
Colomb un grand succès dans son ministère épiscopal sous la
protection maternelle de la Vierge Marie.
Que Dieu vous bénisse tous et vous fortifie dans la
foi.
Merci infiniment.

VOICE FROM METROPOLITAN MATRIMONIAL TRIBUNAL - 67
A brief note on Pope Francis’ Post-Synod
Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia or “The Joy
of Love.”
“The joy of Love experienced by families is also the joy of the
Church.”
The second Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis has been
published on Friday 8 April 2016. Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of
Love) is Pope Francis’ Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on Love
in the Family. The document is a beautiful and challenging meditation
on the state of the family and marriage in the modern world. (The
first is Evangelii Gaudium : Apostolic Exhortation on the
Proclamation of the Gospel in Today’s World (24 November 2013)
To cut through the confusion already underway via some
media sources, you should know that this document does not
change the Church’s traditional teaching on marriage and the family.
Pope Francis is emphatic on God’s design for man and woman in
marriage.

Tribunal
The document is unmistakably an affirmation of the
truth of marriage, children, and the joy of the family as
understood by the Church.
The document is also completely unambiguous about the
unique status of marriage as the union of man and woman, and restates there are “absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual
unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s
plan for marriage and family” (Section 251).
Amoris Laetitia runs to 261 pages and is divided into nine
chapters as follows:
Chapter One – In the Light, The Word
Chapter 2 – The Experiences and Challenges of Families
Chapter 3 – Looking To Jesus: The Vocation of the Family
Chapter 4 – Love In Marriage
Chapter 5 – Love Made Fruitful
Chapter 6 – Some Pastoral Perspectives
Chapter 7 – Towards a Better Education of Children
Chapter 8 – Accompanying, Discerning and Integrating Weakness
Chapter 9 – The Spirituality of Marriage and the Family
The most talked about portions of the document relate to
Chapter 8, and how the Church ought to approach the pastoral
care of those in “irregular” situations, including the divorced and
remarried (who have not received an annulment). The Holy Father
issues a deep call to conversion to Catholics who ignore or seek to
justify their own objective sin (Section 297) and invites all divorced
and remarried Catholic to undertake a serious examination of
conscience accompanied by a priest and guided by the truths
proposed by the Church (Section 300).
He also calls for a greater inclusion and welcoming of those
who are sincerely striving to be open to the Church’s teaching and
to more perfectly follow those teachings. He emphasizes repeatedly
that the Church must be a beacon of mercy, a hospital for sinners,
and a source of real conversion.

Tribunal
He particularly calls for pastors to employ the “law of
gradualness” proposed by Saint John Paul II in appropriate cases
(Section 295), which does not imply that the law is gradual, but that
individuals should be brought by gradual steps to more fully enter
into the full life of the church, as for example, when a cohabiting
couple seeks to marry in the Church (presuming they are free to do
so).
Pope Francis speaks out frequently about his concern for
the children of divorced or separated parents (Sections 245, 246)
and for the need to support single-parent families (Section 252).
The vast majority of the document treats marriage as a
joyful and beautiful gift.
Chapter 3 examines the teachings of Jesus on the family
and God’s vision for marriage and family. Chapter 4 offers an
exposition of St Paul’s teaching on marital love in 1 Corinthians.
Chapter 5 discusses the blessings of children. Chapter 6 offers pastoral
perspectives (including preparing engaged couples for marriage,
accompanying the first years of married life, and when a spouse
dies). Chapter 7 addresses the education of children and Chapter 9
concludes with the spirituality of marriage and the family.
Finally, there is one key takeaway worth mentioning. The
Holy Father places a significant responsibility on pastors and priests.
It is the priest who is tasked with helping those struggling to
understand the truth of their circumstances, to help guide the proper
formation of conscience, and often to help discern the appropriate
path to communion with the Church.
This will be difficult in practice, and will require courageous
and holy priests. We must pray for our priests everywhere !

Pope Francis’ says on ‘The Joy of Love’ that individual
conscience should guide sex, marriage, family

Tribunal
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis said Friday that Catholics should
look to their own consciences rather than rely exclusively on church
rules to negotiate the complexities of sex, marriage and family life,
demanding the church shift emphasis from doctrine to mercy in
confronting some of the thorniest issues facing the faithful. In a major
church document entitled “The Joy of Love,” Francis made no explicit
change in church doctrine and upheld church teaching on the lifelong
bond of marriage between a man and a woman.
But in selectively citing his predecessors and emphasizing
his own teachings in strategically placed footnotes, Francis made
innovative openings in pastoral practice for Catholics who civilly
remarry and signaled that he wants nothing short of a revolution in
the way priests guide ordinary Catholics in their spiritual life. He
said the church must no longer sit in judgment and “throw stones”
at those who fail to live up to the Gospel’s ideals of perfection in
marriage and family life.
“I understand those who prefer a more rigorous pastoral
care which leaves no room for confusion,” he wrote. “But I sincerely
believe that Jesus wants a church attentive to the goodness which
the Holy Spirit sows in the midst of human weakness.”
On thorny issues such as contraception, Francis stressed
that a couple’s individual conscience, educated in church teaching
— and not just dogmatic rules imposed on them across the board
from above — must guide their decisions and the church’s pastoral
practice. “We have been called to form consciences, not replace to
them,” he said.
He insisted the church’s aim is to reintegrate and welcome
all its members. He called for a new language to help Catholic families
cope with today’s problems. And he said pastors must take into
account mitigating factors — fear, ignorance, habits and duress —
in counseling Catholics who simply aren’t perfect. “It can no longer
simply be said that all those in any irregular situations are living in a
state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace,” he wrote.

Tribunal
Even those in an “objective situation of sin” can be in a state of
grace, and can even be more pleasing to God by trying to improve,
he said.
The document’s release marks the culmination of a divisive
two-year consultation of ordinary Catholics and the church hierarchy
that Francis initiated in hopes of understanding the problems facing
Catholic families today and providing them with better pastoral care.
Church teaching holds that unless these Catholics receive an
annulment, or a church decree that their first marriage was invalid,
they are committing adultery and cannot receive Communion.
“By thinking that everything is black and white, we
sometimes close off the way of grace and of growth and discourage
paths of sanctification which give glory to God,” he said. “Let us
remember that a small step in the midst of great human limitations
can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly
in order but moves through the day without confronting great
difficulties.” In a footnote, Francis cited his previous document “The
Joy of the Gospel” in saying that confession should not be a “torture
chamber” and that the Eucharist “is not a prize for the perfect but a
powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.”
Gays will be disappointed by the documents’ failure to offer
anything significant beyond existing church teaching that gays are
not to be discriminated against and are to be welcomed into the
church with respect and dignity. It resoundingly rejected gay
marriage, rejected “gender theory” and repeated the church’s
position that same-sex unions can in no way be equivalent to
marriage between man and wife. Thanking you.

His Holiness Pope Francis is a special gift chosen and given
by the Holy Spirit to the Church to lead her courageously yet with
love and mercy in this difficult time of her history. Pope Francis has
shown to the Church the servant model of his leadership. This is
humble, joyful and merciful service. His earnest desire to have a
Church of the poor for the poor originates from the depth of his
being that is drenched in the spirit of his Master Jesus. Pope Francis
has also emerged as a pastor par-excellence after the heart of the
Good Shepherd Jesus. His communication springs forth from his
heart where he meets our Lord Jesus every day when he spends
long and intense hours in prayer. This brings about a special quality
of his profound communication: genuineness, which is noted and
appreciated even by the people of other faiths. In the short span of
three years of his pontificate, Pope Francis has emerged as a powerful
icon of mercy to a world that is torn apart by indifference,
individualism, inhuman poverty and imbalanced development that
serves only the rich and powerful.
Every Christian is one who is empowered by Christ whom one
meets in the celebration of the sacraments and is guided by the light
of faith. It is the light of faith that can lead a Christian to be a witness
of the Joy of the Risen Lord. Christian is one who rejoices always
and in every situation. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again:
rejoice” (Phil 4:4). Priests are called to radiate the joy of the Gospel
in their lives and ministry. The Pope exhorts the priests to be genuine
shepherds, who have the smell of the sheep for effective and fruitful
ministry. The pedagogy of homily includes interpretation of people’s
lives in the light of the Word. Effective homily can only be given by
those priests who know their sheep. Like St. Francis of Assisi, his
patron, Pope Francis treats nature as God’s creation and his own
brothers and sisters. The Pope envisages an integral approach to
ecology in the service of the Kingdom of God seeking to establish
peace, justice, equality and thus promoting the common good of
our universe. In her mission, the Church sees Pope Francis as a ray

of hope for families, religious minorities, refugees, homeless people
and the least.
Hence we, the diocesan priests, resolve to:
1.Be another Christ in order to give Christ to others.
2.Be in close communion with the Lord through regular personal
prayer.
3.Be contemplatives of the Word before we proclaim.
4.Be nourished by the sacrament to nourish others.
5.Be joyful ministers of the Gospel.
6.Be the “Human Face of the Divine Mercy” by being merciful to all
whom we meet.
7.Be friends to the poor, the homeless, the refugees, strangers, and
the least.
8.Be defenders of the human dignity and rights of the Dalits and
Tribals.
9.Be instruments of peace and unity making constant efforts to avoid
divisions based on caste, class, language and region.
10.Be an understanding and compassionate pastor to the families
by making regular pastoral visits and accompanying them in their
struggles.
11.Be agents and facilitators of unity and fraternity among the clergy
and the people.
12.Be care-takers and promoters of “our common home” especially
by forming green teams at the parish and school level.
13.Be witnesses to the simplicity of the Gospel by adopting a simple
life style.
14.Be faith formators, constantly accompanying the faithful by
instructing them in faith through catechesis at the parish as well as
school levels

Doctor's Message
Walking
(Continues from last issue)
7.
The human body works better when we walk. The body resists diseases
better when we walk, and the body heals faster when we walk.
8. We don’t have to walk a lot. Thirty minutes a day has a huge
impact on our health. Men who walk thirty minutes a day have
a significantly lower level of prostate cancer. Men who walk
regularly have a 60 percent lower risk of colon cancer.
9. For men with prostate cancer, studies have shown that walkers
have a 46 percent lower mortality rate.
10. Walking also helps prevent depression, and people who walk
regularly are more likely to see improvements in their depression.
11. In one study, people who walked and took medication scored
twice as well in 30 days as the women who only took the
medication. Another study showed that depressed people who
walked regularly had a significantly higher level of not being
depressed in a year compared to depressed people who did

not walk. The body generates endorphins when we walk.
Endorphins help us feel good.
Walking strengthens the heart. Walking strengthens bones.
Walking improves the circulatory system.
Walking generates positive neurochemicals. Healthy eating is
important but dieting can trigger negative neurochemicals and
can be hard to do. Walking generates positive neurochemicals.
People look forward to walking and enjoy walking.
And research shows that fit beats fat for many people. Walking
half an hour a day has health benefits that exceed the benefits
of losing 20 pounds.
When we walk every day, our bodies are healthier and stronger.
A single 30 minute walk can reduce blood pressure by five points
for over 20 hours.
Walking reduces the risk of blood clots in your legs. People who
walk regularly have much lower risk of deep vein thrombosis.
People who walk are less likely to catch colds, and when people
get colds, walkers have a 46 percent shorter symptom time
from their colds.
Walking improves the health of our blood, as well. Walking is a
good boost of high density cholesterol and people with high
levels of HDL are less likely to have heart attacks and stroke.
Walking significantly diminishes the risk of hip fracture and the
need for gallstone surgery is 20 to 31 percent lower for walkers.
Walking is the right thing to do. The best news is that the 30
minutes doesn’t have to be done in one lump of time. Two 15
minute walks achieve the same goals. Three 10 minute walks
achieve most of those goals. We can walk 15 minutes in the
morning and 15 minutes at night and achieve our walking goals.
Walking feels good. It helps the body heal. It keeps the body healthy.
It improves our biological health, our physical health, our
psychosocial health, and helps with our emotional health. Walking
an literally add years entire years to your life. It is good to walk.
