🌅 Easter Greetings from DSWA OCYM 🌅

"Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said."
Matthew 28: 5 - 6

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we celebrate the glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, may His victory over sin and death fill your hearts with everlasting joy, hope, and peace.

May this Easter renew your faith, strengthen your spirit, and unite us all as one family in His boundless love. Together, let us walk in the light of the Risen Christ and be His witnesses to the world.

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti!
Mshiha Qam! Bahrira Qam!
ക്രിസ്തു ഉയർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റു, സത്യമായും അവൻ ഉയർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റു

With prayers and blessings,

🌿 Palm Sunday Blessings from DSWA OCYM 🌿

"Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" Mark 11:9

On this holy day, we remember Jesus entering Jerusalem in humility, choosing a path of peace, gentleness, and surrender rather than power and glory.

As we reflect on His example, let us walk in humility, lift one another in prayer, and remember those in need. May our prayers reach beyond our homes to bring hope, healing, and peace to the world.

Wishing you and your family a blessed Palm Sunday and a grace-filled Holy Week ahead. ✝️

During this blessed season of Great Lent, we were brought together for a meaningful time of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal through the DSWA – OCYM Lenten Retreat 2026.

This retreat reminded us of the true spirit of Lent—to look inward, recognize our shortcomings, and return to God with humility. Through inspiring messages, heartfelt prayers, and devotional songs, it became a time to pause from our daily routines and refocus on our spiritual journey.

We were blessed by the Lenten message delivered by Mrs. Anila Elza Thomas Kochamma, along with the prayers and guidance of our respected clergy and the active participation of our OCYM members.

If you missed the session or would like to revisit the reflections, we invite you to watch the recording and continue this journey of renewal.

May this message help each of us grow closer to Christ during this holy season.

Lord have mercy upon us.
