Pope’s Message
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
With the approach of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy I would like to focus on several points which I
believe require attention to enable the celebration of the Holy Year to be for all believers a true moment of
encounter with the mercy of God. It is indeed my wish that the Jubilee be a living experience of the closeness of
the Father, whose tenderness is almost tangible, so that the faith of every believer may be strengthened and thus
testimony to it be ever more effective. My thought first of all goes to all the faithful who, whether in individual
Dioceses or as pilgrims to Rome, will experience the grace of the Jubilee. I wish that the Jubilee Indulgence may
reach each one as a genuine experience of God’s mercy, which comes to meet each person in the Face of the
Father who welcomes and forgives, forgetting completely the sin committed. To experience and obtain the
Indulgence, the faithful are called to make a brief pilgrimage to the Holy Door, open in every Cathedral or in the
churches designated by the Diocesan Bishop, and in the four Papal Basilicas in Rome, as a sign of the deep
desire for true conversion.
Likewise, I dispose that the Indulgence may be obtained in the Shrines in which the Door of Mercy is open and
in the churches which traditionally are identified as Jubilee Churches. It is important that this moment be linked,
first and foremost, to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to the celebration of the Holy Eucharist with a
reflection on mercy. It will be necessary to accompany these celebrations with the profession of faith and with
prayer for me and for the intentions that I bear in my heart for the good of the Church and of the entire world.
Additionally, I am thinking of those for whom, for various reasons, it will be impossible to enter the Holy Door,
particularly the sick and people who are elderly and alone, often confined to the home. For them it will be of
great help to live their sickness and suffering as an experience of closeness to the Lord who in the mystery of his
Passion, death and Resurrection indicates the royal road which gives meaning to pain and loneliness. Living with
faith and joyful hope this moment of trial, receiving communion or attending Holy Mass and community prayer,
even through the various means of communication, will be for them the means of obtaining the Jubilee
Indulgence. My thoughts also turn to those incarcerated, whose freedom is limited.
The Jubilee Year has always constituted an opportunity for great amnesty, which is intended to include the many
people who, despite deserving punishment, have become conscious of the injustice they worked and sincerely
wish to re-enter society and make their honest contribution to it. May they all be touched in a tangible way by the
mercy of the Father who wants to be close to those who have the greatest need of his forgiveness. They may
obtain the Indulgence in the chapels of the prisons. May the gesture of directing their thought and prayer to the
Father each time they cross the threshold of their cell signify for them their passage through the Holy Door,
because the mercy of God is able to transform hearts, and is also able to transform bars into an experience of
freedom.
I have asked the Church in this Jubilee Year to rediscover the richness encompassed by the spiritual and corporal
works of mercy. The experience of mercy, indeed, becomes visible in the witness of concrete signs as Jesus
himself taught us. Each time that one of the faithful personally performs one or more of these actions, he or she
shall surely obtain the Jubilee Indulgence. Hence the commitment to live by mercy so as to obtain the grace of
complete and exhaustive forgiveness by the power of the love of the Father who excludes no one. The Jubilee
Indulgence is thus full, the fruit of the very event which is to be celebrated and experienced with faith, hope and
charity.
Furthermore, the Jubilee Indulgence can also be obtained for the deceased. We are bound to them by the witness
of faith and charity that they have left us. Thus, as we remember them in the Eucharistic celebration, thus we
can, in the great mystery of the Communion of Saints, pray for them, that the merciful Face of the Father free
them of every remnant of fault and strongly embrace them in the unending beatitude.
One of the serious problems of our time is clearly the changed relationship with respect to life. A widespread
and insensitive mentality has led to the loss of the proper personal and social sensitivity to welcome new life.
The tragedy of abortion is experienced by some with a superficial awareness, as if not realizing the extreme
harm that such an act entails. Many others, on the other hand, although experiencing this moment as a defeat,
believe they they have no other option. I think in particular of all the women who have resorted to abortion. I am
well aware of the pressure that has led them to this decision. I know that it is an existential and moral ordeal. I
have met so many women who bear in their heart the scar of this agonizing and painful decision. What has
happened is profoundly unjust; yet only understanding the truth of it can enable one not to lose hope.
The forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented, especially when that person approaches the
Sacrament of Confession with a sincere heart in order to obtain reconciliation with the Father. For this reason
too, I have decided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to concede to all priests for the Jubilee Year the
discretion to absolve of the sin of abortion those who have procured it and who, with contrite heart, seek
forgiveness for it. May priests fulfill this great task by expressing words of genuine welcome combined with a
reflection that explains the gravity of the sin committed, besides indicating a path of authentic conversion by
which to obtain the true and generous forgiveness of the Father who renews all with his presence.
A final consideration concerns those faithful who for various reasons choose to attend churches officiated by
priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X. This Jubilee Year of Mercy excludes no one. From various quarters,
several Brother Bishops have told me of their good faith and sacramental practice, combined however with an
uneasy situation from the pastoral standpoint. I trust that in the near future solutions may be found to recover full
communion with the priests and superiors of the Fraternity.
In the meantime, motivated by the need to respond to the good of these faithful, through my own disposition, I
establish that those who during the Holy Year of Mercy approach these priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X to
celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins.
Trusting in the intercession of the Mother of Mercy, I entrust the preparations for this Extraordinary Jubilee
Year to her protection.

Bishop’s Message
Dear Fathers, Sisters, Brothers and my Dear people,
“I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do” (Jn 17:4).
This expression of Jesus is a token of his sense of accomplishment and I join all of you with a similar
feeling of gratitude and happiness as we have completed the great task of the Diocesan Synod - 2016 that we took
upon ourselves four years ago for the overall wellbeing of the diocese with our total relying on divine providence
and guidance. Everyone who participated in the final celebration of the Synod (January 13-17, 2016, St. Theresa’s
Girls Hr. Sec. School, Pallavaram) felt immense satisfaction at the smooth and solemn moments that made the
event memorable and dynamic. The meticulous planning by the Diocesan Synod Preparatory Commission, the
dedicated service of the Synod Secretariat, and the united efforts of all the task groups and their extended teams
entrusted with shared responsibilities will go on records. The enthusiasm shown by the participants in attending the
sessions and in their active interventions, the excellent input by select resource persons and the able handling of the
moderators were all simply superb. The presence and the message of the ecclesiastical dignitaries and the
attendance of the observers were added merits of the event. We gratefully remember the part played by the Bon
Secours sisters who made available to us their indoor hall and provided for all our immediate requirements during
the celebration. Looking beyond, I wish to acknowledge the role of every Parish Priest and Vicar Forane in taking
the Synod concept and discussion and the questionnaire up to the grass-roots and the interest shown by our faithful
in responding to those search areas. The Social Work department of Loyola College helped us with their scientific
codification and consolidation of the survey data. We are thankful to the parish communities, religious
congregations and educational institutions and also individual priests and religious who have contributed their mite
to enable the Synod process financially viable and sound. With so many persons as individuals and as groups
assisting us, we have done our best through this Synodal exercise as directed by the Church Law, aiming at the best
results for our future programming and progress. But now the ball is in our court. We need to move ahead with our
post Synodal documentation and serious implementation and sincere monitoring. An executive team will soon be
constituted to supervise these processes and with the formal promulgation of the Post-Synod Document we shall
give grater impetus to our onward KINGDOM JOURNEY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JESUS in our pursuit of
FULLNESS OF LIFE THROUGH JUSTICE. God bless you all. Yours in Our Lord
Most Rev. Dr. A. Neethinathan
Bishop of Chingleput
From this day on I will bless you. (Haggai 2:10-19)
Dear Readers,
I am very happy to greet you all through this Newsletter.
As we are beginning new even semester, may God continue to bless all of us.
Chennai floods: The rains have virtually broken a 100-year record with one day's rainfall
covering a month's average. With receding waters, Chennai city and suburbs on battled hard to
pick up pieces of life but occasional heavy rains threatened to revive the ghost of flooding as
lakhs of people in the worst-hit areas faced acute short supply of essentials including water,
power, milk and food items. So much so, you might have faced many trials and tribulation
during flood and even during exam times. However, never give up yourself, keep going. For
example if I crush 1000 rupees or trample on it, the value of money does not change in the same
way you might have faced many problems but the value of human does not change because we
are all created in the image and likeness of God. In Genesis 1:26-27 and 9:6, we find out that
man is created in the image of God. In 2 Cor. 4:4, we see the phrase used in reference to Jesus
who is the "image of God." There. It would seem that the first two verses refer to God's
character and attributes that are reflected in people.
May Almighty God bless all our students and staff.

Ask yourself what you can do about the sources of your stress. Think
through the pros and cons. Take action where you can.
Keep a positive, realistic attitude. Accept that although you can't control
certain things, you're in charge of how you respond.
Stand up for yourself in a polite way. Share your feelings, opinions, or
beliefs, instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.
Learn and practice relaxation techniques. Try breathing exercises,
meditation, prayer, yoga
Exercise regularly. You'll feel better and be more prepared to handle
problems.
Eat healthy. Avoid too much sugar. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, and lean protein. When you're stressed, you'll probably want less-
nutritious comfort foods, but if you overdo them, they'll add to your
problems.
Try to manage your time wisely.
Say no, where you can, to things that would add more stress to your life.
Make time for hobbies and interests.
Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful
events.
Don't rely on alcohol, drugs, or food to help against stress. Ease up on
caffeine, too.
Spend time with people you love.
Talk with a counselor or take a stress management class for more help.
