Kairos - November 2017

في هذه القضية

In the November edition of Kairos, the concept of ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit” is decoded to its fullest. In the article by Prof. C. C. Aalisukutty, she did her damnedest in explaining the notion of “Poor in Spirit”. Each and every sentence is thought provoking which won’t stop someone from reading the entire article again. May not be intentionally, but the present version of Kairos throws a number of examples from “families” to show how one can be “Poor in Spirit”. The mission undertaken by a very successful young doctor and his wife to serve in an ordinary hospital in North India despite being offered with fancy salaries from many Multi Super Speciality hospitals is a prompting example. In Punarvichinthanam, Rev. Dr. Kurian Mattam describes the beautiful sacrifice made by a newly married couple when the wife was diagnosed with cancer just after 10 days of their marriage. Another testimony is by a young couple living in Bangalore, who got pregnant with a child having disabilities. They led their entire 10 months in prayer and sacrifice to accept and welcome the baby but later found out that God had better plans. All these articles convey the message ‘God will be providing us with what we need for he has even given his only beloved son- lord Jesus Christ for our salvation’ and it is sure to touch the heart of the readers.
