Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (GA)

Mangalore, May 22: The Divine Call Centre, Mulky which has been attracting devotees in large numbers eversince it was established by Fr Jerry Sequeira SVD, on October 1, 2004, will now be closed temporarily beginning from Friday May 22.

Speaking to Daijiworld, Divine Call Centre director Fr Cyprian Lewis SVD said that till further announcement is made, Divine Call Centre will be closed.  "This is only a temporary arrangement and the centre will be opened in the coming days. But we will keep devotees informed in this regard," concluded Fr Cyprian.

Though he did not give exact reasons behind closing the retreat centre temporarily, sources said that it might have to do something with the administration.

Divine Call Centre has been the source of spiritual rejuvenation in the region for the last five years. People from all walks of life have been thronging the centre to avail the spiritual benefits through retreats, Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. The day-long retreats, five-day retreats which have been going on unceasingly at the centre have been instrumental in forming and reforming several lives over the years.

    Dear Fr.Jerry When we first came to Mulki. you were just lying the foundation. At that time , we came to you with our hearts broken for the loss of our son and when we showed our son prashanth''s photo, it was from your mouth which came the words " I have got an Angel and I always intercede to them".And on Oct 1st, 2004 you released our son''s first cassette (Anja Sovem). So,Father Jerry do not worry , whatever it may be, we all there with you and our son Angel Prashant Darrel will intercede on your behalf and you are there in our daily prayers. We pray the DCC will reopen soon. God Bless Fr.Jerry

    I never been to this centre in Mulky but I heard of the glory of this place. I feel this is God''s will and god wants Fr. Jerry to create many more Devine call Centers like this in various locations and lead the people towards Wisdom.

    Every priest should remember thay he have made an oath while he was made a Priest. He should obey the superior, and thus he will show other people an example that he is the follower of Jesus Christ. Just preaching has no value if you do not practice whatever you preach.

    When I attended one day retreat on 9.5.09 I found something was amiss and this has resulted in cloSing of the DCC temporarily is regretful. Jesus warning his disciples said -the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. Let the faithful not judge anybody and cause division amongst us. Wehave to see the problem with divine wisdom and not thru human eyes. We need to reflecT the following from the Bible which I recently read in "Divine Voice" from Potta. Do not find fault before you investigate (Sir 11:7) Respect those who labour among you, and have charge of you in the Lord (1 Thess 5:12) The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my Lord, the Lord''s anointed, to raise my hands against him for he is the Lord''s anointed (1 Samuel 24:6) You also join in helping us by your prayers (II Cor 1:11) The need of the hour is to use the powerful weapon -sincere prayers- for enrichment of which we have been visiting DCC. Let us pray for God''s grace to those who need forgiveness and to those who need to forgive their brothers. God bless all those who labour for the Lord''s glory at DCC.

    Its rather unfortunate that Divine Call centre is closed. It brought solace to a lot of suffering families. William from Mangalore had commented "Why we need retreat centres when we have beautiful churches" - The answer my friend is "treat yourself like a car - for your day to day requirements of fuel/oil you go to the petrol station but when there is a breakdown these petrol stations wont be of much use - you need to visit a garage -

    Like wise for your day to day spiritual needs you go to church but when you have a crisis in life these retreat centres help you to bring your life on track" I have been touched and transformed at one of these retreat centre and I pray that DCC opens up at the earliest with God''s Divine intervention.

    What is happening at the Divine Call Centre at Mulky? Has the DCC stopped any devotee entering the premesis for prayer or has it just stopped conducting retreats for the timebeing? What is the truth and why is the fuss all about Fr.Jerry''s transfer? We all know that Fr. Jerry established the DCC with the support and the generosity of the faithfull and also with the support of his congregation. Fr. Jerry belongs to The SVD congregaion and as member he has an obligation to obey his superiors and follow the rules and regulations of his congregation. Forgiveness and exceptance is certan if the repentance is sincere. Arrogance and disobedience does not suite to a true desciple of Christ. we pray for all the priests at the DCC and the reopening of the centre as early as possible.

    Dear all readers, I am completely in dark & confusion what went wrong all of a sudden and what is the fuss all about. - One of the comments reads, “whoever one among you has committed no sin may throw the first stone at him…, May God forgive all those who hurt you dear Fr.Jerry…” Can somebody come forward either from the Clergy or from the Congregation, and reveal what exactly has occurred at DCC Mulki? - Another Comment reads, “Dear Fr.Jerry, we are all with you, we are ready to fight for you no matter how much it cost….” Fighting in what sense? Fighting against Superior’s Transfer Order? Alternatively, fighting against the truth? Before firing a shot at the air, one should very well know that the DCC was established by Fr.Jerry but build by numerous generous donors who sponsored/donated from their hard-earned sacrifices. Then is it not fare to hold Fr.Jerry accountable for what is going on? I know that Fr.Jerry is innocent but unless he proves it, a common faithful like me start loosing faith in our Religious Body. Eggs cannot remain un-broken forever. They either hatch or rot. We need to know the reason how it broken.

    Dear Fr. Jerry, No weapon that has been made to be used against you will succeed. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. This is the inheritance of the LORD''s servants. Their victory comes from me," s the LORD (Isaiah 54:17) There are few words one can say at a time like this. When you stand on the Word, you stand in a position where God helps you.

    You know deep inside of you that He will pick you up when you''re down. No weapon that is thrown towards you shall prosper. Almost every servant of God has been through this at the hand of those they counted as their brethren. We pray that God will uplift your spirit and carry you through this time of distress.

The word of god is preached so clearly and you really feel the power of the Holy Spirit working there. Fr. Jerry, Fr. Abraham, Fr. Cyprian and Fr. Walty are powerful preachers working really very hard to impart the spiritual wisdom. Praying that the DCC may reopen very soon and that many people may be blessed and touched by the lord through this centre. Victoria & Goldwin Soares, Kalmady /Muscat

    You are right, Vinay. Someone has to hit the nail, otherwise the salvation process isnt complete.I dont know about blind faith, or what you mean by it. But to find substance and meaning to what we profess requires soul searching and action thereof.I honestly do not know why DCC is closed, it could very well be inappropriate management and conduct or hindutva pressure, I dont know. I have seen Fr. Jerry working like a laborer years ago, when just curiosity led me there.I have heard him preaching there and it was hard to take it in at times. But nevertheless, it has contributed to my own soul searching, trying to find Jesus within.As I am writing this, I beleive, it is He who motivates to share my thoughts. I wish I can say with conviction I love Jesus and He in turn agrees with it. Moderation in lifestyle is not being passive in our faith observance and defending it.God Bless

    At least few agree with my point of view. Minority can be right at times dear Vinay. Whatever the reason for such things, prayer they say is the communication between god and the self. And each one of us should evolve ways to communicate with god. Mass hysteria is not a way to communicate with god. Agressive preaching does not help. Most of the Vedeo hymns that the centre releases donot take you to the devotional world.The casting ability of its makers cannot be under estimated. But in any case what can be of glory to The Almighty than each one of us carrying on the task with delegence, devotion and desire. When we do our mission asigned to us there would not be any turmoil in the society. Let us stop being obcessed with relegion that these agressive preachers propogate. Please donot forget, there is well organised economics behind these preaching centres. It is wrong to say Jesus was also criticises for his revolutionary thinking and ultimatley paid it with his death on cross. But let alone death, tell me any of these preachers doing selfless sacrifice for the downtrodden. God does not live in the glorified church buildings but in the fellow beings. As per the kannada news daily, it is said that whole problem is because of the preacher getting transfered. If he is not willing to go where is superiors ask him to, what sacrfice he is preaching and what do those people who are with him to support have to say about this? Please let us not waste our time in these retreats but rather work selflessly for our country. If greed goes, life itself will be paradise. Paradise Jesus himself taught. All these prolems are because of greed. Arent they?

Lets all pray for our priests so that they will have special grace from God during this age of satan''s attack. Satan is definitely roaming like a roaring lion to devour the best and the holy. Praise God. Thank you Jesus. Blessed be your holy name.

So we ordinary layman/without shepherd do not have any right to praise and worship when we need!? Only we people have give donation when they ask for to build any institution and they have full right to closedown without spending single penny from their pocket, please see some alternative,closing down is not solution but it is easy but bad example for others!

    Praise the Lord. We often talk about priests/clergy whenever such things happen. No one should talk against their work or behaviour as we do not have any right to do so. Now a days nobody wants to send their children to become a priest/nun, because everyone wants their children to be Doctors Engineers...etc. We have many of those but very less missionaries. Before talking against a priest, let us send our children to the seminary for priesthood. With regard to Divine Retreat Centre, we all have supported to the erection of this building. It is our mistake as we did not think what would happento this in future. Therefore, in future, i suggest that all the donations to be transfered go to the Diocese account (special account) and then diverted to the respective churches/institutions. In this way at least the Bishop has a check on the priest''s activities and funds and everything is transparent.

    Dear William, Mangalore, Please do not be judgemental in your attitude towards anybody, leave alone DCC. DCC has just been an instrument in the Hands of God, whether persons involved attitude was right or wrong.It does not matter.There is no doubt thousands of people have turned to God through DCC, experienced a personal touch from the Lord himself.Please bear in mind, Jesus Himself was rejected for doing all the good done.

    At such times as these, the faithful should prayerfully discern and ask God to work through the situation for betterment of all, including those we may find having done wrong.Dear William,ultimately there are are only two kinds of people in the world, those who were crucified at the left, and those who were crucified at the right. The choice to be where you want to be is very personal. God Bless

    Intoxicating with religion is often dangerous and self distructive. Religion can at best be a guide to our passage in the journey of this world. Living with harmony with fellow beings is the relegion to follow.In the case of Devine call centre it was clear the method of preaching was agressive and often misleading. Of what use if one does not follow what we preach. I often wonder, the clergy at the helm of affairs of these instituitions can allow these things to happen. In fact they are the only ones to have been trained for priesthood for period of 13 -15 years. Besides one more point I want to stress here that the Bishop who is sheperd of his flock should not allow a parrellel worship centres to develop. We have got our beutiful churches where we can worship for hours on end. And for the tired, distressed,and dipressed these centres in the guise of providing succour often are mislead into miracoulous healing powers. Its time to rethink the role of clergy and device ways so that it does not repeat, else there are predators waiting outside the community just to pounce on us.

    From readers'' comments I realize the truth behind the ''temperory'' closure has not been disclosed. If one remembers the excorcism that used to be arried out in "Pakshifere" church was closed by the diocese authorities (many many years ago). People, the church service that we currently have and if one has faith, that is good enough. Do not go deep into religion, there are many who are easily brainwahsed. How good a Christian in deed are you, that counts. Why can''t the priest discolose the reason? We need to know the truth. If money is involved, he is no better than many of our politicians.

Its really sad that through the struggle for power at the Divine Call Centre all responsible have failed our Lord who died so that we live. Infact we are trying to undo all that the good Lord has done for our sake. It would be better for all the clergy who are after money, power and fame to quietly discard their religious attire and live a common mans life. WE AS CATHOLICS NEED TO PUT THESE WAYWARD SHEPEREDS IN THEIR PLACE LEST WE FAIL OUR GOD TOO.

    Not to yield turning stones into bread, rather living in the every Word of God. Word of God is the Truth and the Word of God will only with those who Trust in Him. DRC is not closed for the faithful. No one can close a place where Word of God is taught to the mankind.

    Praise the lord... I still remember I had visited the place along with Bro. Johnson early 2004 before the foundation was laid for the bldg. God has done mighty progress at Divine Retreat Center. It is our prayer let the HOLY SPIRIT Intervene in mighty way to solve the difference, we human beings are only the instrument in hands of god please do not give devil to ruin god''s blessings. We really need now in M''lore good shepherds to lead kingdom of god, wherein human beings are suffering in the hands of devil in all aspects of life.

    Forigive all human weakness and lead the center Divine way. Those who are in responsible members of organisations, please do not foreget what Mangaloreans having gone thru last year not to repeat we need Divine retreat center to run god''s way and not human way...God give your wisdom from heaven to the leaders of DRC.

    Dear Fr. Jerry, God paid the price for you on the cross. Jesus accepted everybody, even worst sinner. Has a christian it is our duty to accept you as you are. What ever happened, we still love you. and you will preach the world with the same conviction which you had earlier. Our prayers are with you. No weapon formed against the believer shall prosper. This is the promise for you from bible. We are praying for you.

    There is always shadow beneath the lamp as the saying goes. When money & power struggle r there these things r normal. If Jesus comes to the world he would disapprove and might chase all of us out of his temple or he just would stay away from these places. If our shepherds behave like this with arrogance what would be our fate, & I think they donot practice what they preach. If we need to progress, then we need to reform from the top to bottom, not bottom to top.

    It is not the question of being with someone at the needy hour. Its not the question of forgiving and forgeting (Which our comunity has done in the past generously) It is understanding the responcibility and leading the way Christ has showed us. I appeal to all our religious leaders to lead an exemplery life.

Let the work of preaching the good news to the thursty and needy souls may continue. May God give you the grace to sort out your defferences and reconcile to reopen the Devine call centre once again to the people of God.
