UNREST IN MANGALORE

The RSS - Bajrangdal have carried out attacks against catholic, protestant and believers churches in Mangalore, Udupi and other places on 14, Sunday morning। The attacks were carried out by groups of men belonging to these extremists groups, who entered churches, broke statues, altars, furniture and created mayhem. The attacks took place in Udupi, Mangalore, Belthangady, Kodaikal, Chikmagalore and Koloor, Kundapur, Karkal, Koppa, Balehonnoor and Moodbidri.
The CSI Church near Kodical, the Adoration monastery near Milagres Church, Newlife Centre located in the Krista Kripa building in Udupi and the New Life prayer centre have been severely damaged। As the attacks took place, catholic churches all over Mangalore started ringing their bells continuously and huge crowds started gathering near churches and raising slogans against the attackers. Roads were blocked and stones pelted and the Police have used teargas to disperse the crowd. Traffic in Mangalore was totally disrupted as movement of vehicles was blocked completely near Hampankatta. The Dakshina Kannada administration has now imposed Section 144 in the district.


Let us pray that the Christians stand together at this hour of crisis and test of our faith .

FAVOURS RECEIVED THRORUGH THE INTERCESSION OF MOTHER VERONICA


In 1997, my daughter Renita Veronica got an attack of fever and from then on she lost her sense of smell and appetite. Doctors said, there was some damage of the nerve and they could do nothing about it.
In the month of October 2007, during our ACA meeting, Sister Carmel Rose told us to pray an extra decade of the Rosary daily and ask Mother Veronica for any favour we might need. My thoughts went to my daughter, Renita Veronica. I phoned to her and told her about it. In faith and trust We prayed to God, through the intercession of Mother Veronica. In my prayer, I told Mother Veronica, trusting in you, I gave my daughter, your name, now please help my daughter. Within a month my daughter rang up to me with joy and said that now she can get the smell and has also got back the appetite that she had lost. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Mother Veronica

I was praying daily to Mother Veronica that I may get 75% marks in my Higher Secondary Examination. God has really worked this miracle for me through the intercession of Mother Veronica. I thank Mother Veronica for interceding for me and obtaining for me this miracle from God. God be praised.

I am on the staff of Divine Retreat Centre. While having dinner on June 19, 2008, a chicken bone got stuck in my throat. I felt choked and breathless. Immediately I was rushed to St. James’ hospital. The ENT specialist took an x-ray of the throat which showed that the bone was lodged horizontally on the left side of the throat. I was advised to undergo surgery the following day. The whole night I prayed in the Divine prayer tower to our dear foundress, Mother Veronica to intercede for me. In the morning, during the Consecration at Holy Mass, I prayed to Jesus with deep faith and implored him to work a miracle through the intercession of Mother Veronica, to whom I have a great devotion. At that time, I felt that the bone went out of my body. Later, I went to the hospital and the X-ray confirmed that the bone was not there. I firmly believe that Mother Veronica interceded for me and God worked this miracle for me.
