    The wounds inflicted by the evil, destructive elements to the Christians on 14th September 2008 by vendalising holy churches and aftermath the suffering gone through by the faithful should not to be forgotten. Hats off to the faithful who sacrificed and suffered for their faith. The sudden call by the Christians as a whole in Mangalore shows their love and solidarity to the Church and hope in our LORD.
    Our faith is our Hope. Those who suffered will be blessed and the evil destructive elements will be crushed. Only time will be the witness.
