THANKSGIVING DAY 2007

Thanksgiving Day 2007 was celebrated in an august way. After the Thanksgiving Holy Mass, we gathered together in the Chapel Cafetaria for the Thanksgiving Dinner.




The Kaikkarans Jimmy and Sino were confident to feed everybody gathered for the celebration.

" We thank you Lord ..." Blessing of the turkeys and the food.

Children watching with interest.

Strong hands are needed to handle the situation.




Our hands are no less!!

Sharing the meal.

Help yourself.

The children find their own ways of amusement.

Later in the evening, the Divine Mercy Family Unit members and some other friends gathered at the home of Michael & Molly Mulakkunneth.
It was really an occasion of praising and thanking the Lord; Michael and Molly were married on this day, 25 years ago, in 1982.

The celebrations began with singing divine praises. Michael and Molly together lighted the candle, while the congregation sang,

"Christ Our Lord! Enlighten us in your laws, inflame our minds with your knowledge, and sanctify our souls with your truth so that we may be faithful to your words and obedient to your commandments. The Lord of all, Forever. Amen."

They renewed the vows of the Sacrament of Marriage, placing their hands upon the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible was held to them by their son Stanley.

"We do promise, making the Holy Gospel the witness, that from today onwards until our death, we will live together with one mind, in mutual love and fidelity in joy and sorrow, in prosperity and poverty, in health and ill health. May God Almighty help us to live according to this promise. Amen."

The priest raised his hands over the couple and blessed them,

"O God, our Lord, graciously extend your right hand of mercy upon this couple. Protect them under the shade of your providence. O God, we thank you for your mercy which has inseparably united this couple. O Christ, our Lord, bless this couple. May the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother, and Saint Joseph, the head of the Holy Family, make their family life prosperous.

May your family prosper in the unity of prayer. May He make your life prosperous and realize your desires and hopes. May God grant you many sincere friends to help you in your needs. May you become worthy to offer Him praise, honor and thanksgiving in the heavenly bridal chamber. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Lord of all, forever. Amen."
