Closer To God

The closer you draw to God, the more you begin to understand the depth of His love for you. Sin creates a separation between you and God, hindering your fellowship with Him and keeping you from experiencing the fullness of intimacy He desires with you. God’s hand is not shortened that He cannot save, neither is His ear heavy that He cannot hear but sin separates us from Him. (Isaiah 59:1–2). Draw near to God, walk in holiness, and experience the beauty of fellowship with Him.

Scientists Investigate Boat-Shaped Site in Türkiye After New Radar Scans

An international team of researchers scanning the famous Durupınar formation near Mount Ararat in eastern Türkiye reports detecting subterranean geometric patterns and linear anomalies using ground-penetrating radar.

While project researchers claim the 538-foot oval formation conceals a man-made structure beneath the mudflow, geologists and mainstream archaeologists emphasize that independent peer review and ongoing laboratory testing of core soil samples are necessary to determine whether the feature is an ancient vessel or a natural rock formation formed by geological processes.

Standing in front of the Sagrada Família feels almost unreal. ✨

Designed by Antoni Gaudí, this extraordinary basilica is unlike anything else in Barcelona. Every tower, sculpture, window, and curve seems to tell a story, while the light filtering through the stained glass transforms the interior into a kaleidoscope of colors.

What makes it even more fascinating is that this masterpiece is the result of a vision that has continued across generations. More than a building, the Sagrada Família feels like a living work of art—still evolving, still inspiring, and still leaving visitors speechless.

Barcelona wouldn't feel quite the same without it. 🇪🇸

വി . യൂദാശ്ലീഹായുടെ നൊവേന (Vishudha Yudhasleehayude Novena)

മിശിഹായുടെ സ്നേഹിതനും വിശ്വസ്ത ദാസനുമായ വി.യൂദാശ്ലീഹായേ, ഏറ്റവും കഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്ന എനിക്കുവേണ്ടി അപേക്ഷിക്കണമേ.യാതൊരു സഹായവും ഫലസിദ്ധിയില്ലാതെ വരുന്ന സന്ദര്‍ഭത്തില്‍ ഏറ്റവും ത്വരിതവും ഗോചരവുമായ സഹായം ചെയ്യുന്നതിന് അങ്ങേയ്ക്ക് വിശേഷവിധിയായി കിട്ടിയിരിക്കുന്ന അനുഗ്രഹത്തെ അങ്ങ് ഉപയോഗിക്കണമേ. എന്‍റെ എല്ലാ ആവശ്യങ്ങളിലും വിശിഷ്യാ (ആവശ്യം പറയുക ) അങ്ങേ സഹായം ഞാനപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നു .ഭാഗ്യപ്പെട്ട യൂദാശ്ലീഹായേ! അങ്ങേ ഈ അനുഗ്രഹത്തെ ഞാന്‍ സദാ ഓര്‍ക്കുമെന്നും അങ്ങേ സ്തുതികളെ ലോകമെങ്ങും അറിയിക്കുമെന്നും ഞാന്‍ വാഗ്ദാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു. ആമ്മേന്‍

(ഈ പ്രാര്‍ത്ഥന ദിവസം 9 പ്രാവശ്യം ചൊല്ലുക. 9 ദിവസം തുടര്‍ച്ചയായി ചൊല്ലിയാല്‍ ഏതു കാര്യവും സാധിക്കും. 10 ദിവസം ചൊല്ലിയാല്‍ അത് ഒരു കാലവും സഫലമാകതിരിക്കില്ല)

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health

The Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health, also known as Sanctuary of Our Lady of Velankanni, is a Christian shrine located at the town of Velankanni, Tamil Nadu, India. The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The devotion has existed since the mid-sixteenth century, it is attributed to three separate events which occurred at the site: The apparition of the Madonna and Child to a slumbering shepherd boy, the miraculous healing of a handicapped buttermilk vendor and the rescue of Portuguese sailors from a deadly sea storm.

Initially, a modest chapel was built by the Portuguese from Goa and Bombay, soon after they washed ashore safely in spite of a severe tempest. An annual novena is celebrated and draws nearly 5 million pilgrims each year.

Pope John XXIII raised the Marian shrine to the status of a minor basilica via the pontifical decree Salutem Supplicibus Dilargiens, signed & notarised on 3 November 1962. He called the shrine "the Lourdes of the East" due to the massive influx of pilgrims
