Alan,fly, maranna, mariette,
Thanks for all the prayers, blessings and good wishes I received from you through mails and phone calls for my Golden Jubilee.
And thanks Connie for your card too. Looks like in the US they have a card for every occasion. I think I might have done well in that industry if I were to have been there.
Were all those messages I received from you just from you? Maybe they were beyond that.
Yet another little note from God to enlighten me.

And if I do not know whom the message will be brought by then I must listen and pay attention to every single person whom I meet today. Not only today but on every other day as well.
I am glad that I have listened and learned so much. Now and then I miss out on the listening and a message gets wasted. But He speaks again and the messages continue – ordinary messages and special life-transforming messages.
And He also sends special messages to others through me. It is important that I convey these messages well both in words as well as in action. The way I live and deal with others is a message about God’s love for me and his reaching out to others through me.
On the 20th we jubilarians (four of us) met at the Retreat House, Bandra will a small group there for a thanksgiving mass and a modest dinner. It was nice getting together and remembering old times so long ago.
Hopefully you all remember the celebration here at St. Xavier’s College Father’s quarters at 11 am on Sunday 30th June.
Dress code: comfortable . And if you do not have umbrellas for the return journey, I will provide them for you.
Some of you have told me about your coming but I am assuming that all those in Mumbai/Pune will be coming too. And those away (Chennai/US/Dubai/wherever) are welcome too. I have lots of umbrellas. I will send around pictures afterwards as I usually do.
College things continue as things are getting off the ground. The newcomer to Senior college begin tomorrow. Std.XI admissions are still on.
Lots of anxiety for those trying to get a seat here. I help out with this with the counselling.
That’s it for now. Take care, stay well… and if you are caught in the rain just get wet and sing a happy song.
Love to all of you, Terence
