🕊️ A Blessed Feast of the Holy Spirit at Chapel of Holy Spirit, Bukit Cherakah, Jeram! 🔥

​Over the weekend, about 200 faithful devotees gathered together in faith and fellowship to celebrate our Feast Day. It was a beautiful reminder of the vibrant, growing community we share here in Bukit Cherakah, Jeram Zone.

​We were truly blessed to have Rev Fr James Gabriel as our chief celebrant. In his homily, Fr James reminded us of the ever-present guidance of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives, urging us to step out as living witnesses of God’s grace and love.

​The highlight of our celebration came at the conclusion of the Holy Mass, where the community entered into a deep, beautiful moment of Eucharistic Adoration. Kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, our voices and hearts united in silent prayer, worship, and deep thanksgiving for the many blessings poured out upon our community.

​Thank you to everyone who helped organize, prepare, and participate in making this feast day so spiritually uplifting! May the fire of the Holy Spirit continue to ignite our hearts.

​“Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love.”

நம் பங்கின் ஆன்மீகத் தூண்கள்!

​"அன்பின் உருவாய் அருளின் வடிவாய்
அன்னை மடியில் அரவணைத்து,
ஆலயப் பணியில் தமை மறந்து
ஆன்மீக விதையை விதைத்தாயே!

​சுயநலம் இன்றி சுகத்தை விடுத்து
திருச்சபை வாழ்வில் திளைத்தாயே,
உன் தியாகத்தின் நிழலில் வளர்ந்தாரே
இறை நம்பிக்கையில் எம் பிள்ளைகளே!

​புனித வானத்து சின்னப்பர் பங்கின் ஆணிவேராய்
பரிசுத்த வாழ்வின் பாதையைக் காட்டினாய்,
விசுவாசப் பயிர் வாடிவிடாமல்
உன் செபத்தால் நீரூற்றி வளர்த்தாய்!

​தியாகங்கள் செய்த உம் திருக்கரங்கள்
இறைவனின் ஆசி என்றும் பெற்றிடுக,
நம் பங்கின் நித்திய ஒளியாய்
தாய்மார்களே நீவிர் வாழ்கவே!"

​"Her children rise up and call her blessed..." — Proverbs 31:28

The St. Paul the Hermit community in Bestari Jaya came together in a beautiful celebration to honor the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and mother-figures in our parish. We took a moment to honor the sacred vocation of motherhood.

​Led by Rev. Fr. James Gabriel, our parish celebrated with a special cake-cutting and the distribution of gifts to all the mothers in attendance. It was a beautiful reflection of the love, gratitude, and unity we share as a parish family.

​We ask for God's continuous blessings upon all our mothers, that they may be strengthened in faith and filled with joy. Happy Mother’s Day!
