My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Hope you all are doing well. Though we planned to have an 'Olivians prayer meeting' every month, we couldn't meet after the month of July. So, I hope to meet in October first week, if God allows. Will send you the details soon. Try to make sure that you along with your family members attend the online prayer meeting. Kindly encourage the youths who are willing to do the ministry of our Lord. Let's pray for the success of the Prayer meeting and for the Olivians Prayer ministry. May God bless you all.

The ultimate interpreter of God's Mysteries is Jesus. He is the wisdom of God in person. Jesus did not teach us His wisdom by long speeches or by grand demonstrations of political or earthly power but by giving His life on the Cross. Pope Francis

THE MYSTERY OF HOLY COMMUNION. Many say that, how is holy communion a mystery, and becomes the blood and body of Christ. It’s sad that many think like that, besides Christ gave bread and wine to the apostles, saying? take for this is My body and blood. Let’s uncover some mysteries in the world. You can water plants and vegetation, the water goes with gravity, but the vegetation brings the water antigravity, and produces fruit and vegetables, with a different taste, and yet, the water is the same. We eat bread and the bread becomes blood in our body, the earth spins and a fast speed and yet we can’t feel anything. The solar system is not supported by anything, and yet we see everything, and nothing falls from space. It takes male and female to produce life, and when giving birth, the female has milk for her baby. You plant a seed, and the seed becomes a tree, how does that seed grow and become a giant tree, We go to a funeral and we see a body, but what is missing from the body , everything is there but no soul, no life. We use electricity, but what is electricity, no one knows. There are so many inexplicable mysteries around us, and people want to know if holy communion is a mystery too. If the holy communion would’ve been blood and body in its physical form, people would be sceptical to consume it. Christ left us His body and blood for us to commune, and the prayers of the church turn wine and bread into the blood and body of Christ. Unexplainable mysteries in the world still persist. But the power of the holy communion continues to touch the faithful and mend the broken. Thus, doubting it only distances us from Christ. Holy communion is to be taken by everyone after the holy confession to receive the body and blood of Christ.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

This is a new page with the name "Olivians," a small initiative to make a platform for a group of people who are really interested to work as "Missionaries of Sacred Mystery," in other words to be a missionary of Holy Qurbana/Qurbono.

The name Olivians is taken from the "Mount of Olives," where our Lord and Saviour Jesus prayed on the day before the crucifixion - in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was there that an angel comforted Him. During Jesus' life, as He ministered to the multitudes, He would often retreat to pray on the Mount as well (Luke 21:37, Luke 22: 39). Jesus ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives according to Acts 1:9–12.

We have many things to meditate on Mount of Olives. Gradually we can think of the same in future.

May God bless us.

With love in His ministry,

An Olivian
