Syro-Malankara Cathedral in Delhi Hosts Spirit-Led Prayer Rally with CHARIS National Council

The St. Mary’s Cathedral, an inspiration of faith for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church in Neb Sarai, Delhi, recently became the focal point of a stirring ecumenical event as it welcomed the Delhi Charismatic Service of Communion (DCSC). The DCSC, functioning under the auspices of the CHARIS National Service of Communion in India, brought together the faithful for a day of profound prayer and fellowship.

His Excellency Bishop Thomas Mar Anthonios of the Eparchy of Gurgaon graced the rally with his divine presence, leading the Holy Eucharist and the adoration service that followed. His profound spiritual leadership illuminated the day, as the congregation immersed itself in a spiritually charged atmosphere, unified in their dedication to God.

The event marked a significant occasion for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church as it hosted members of the CHARIS council, highlighting the synergies between the Church’s vibrant liturgical tradition and the charismatic movement that is sweeping across Catholic communities worldwide.

Fr. Vishak Scaria and the active members of the local unit were instrumental in orchestrating the gathering, ensuring that the day was not only one of prayer but also a demonstration of the unity that characterizes the body of Christ. Their efforts were met with enthusiasm by the laity and clergy alike, who came together in a resounding affirmation of their faith and communal bonds.

The rally’s impact resonated well beyond the walls of the cathedral, as it exemplified the Church’s dedication to ecumenical outreach and spiritual renewal. The DCSC’s initiative in conducting these rallies across different churches in Delhi has opened new avenues for dialogue and spiritual growth, fostering a sense of broader ecclesiastical community.

This gathering at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Neb Sarai, with the blessing of His Excellency Bishop Thomas Mar Anthonios and the CHARIS National Service of Communion, is a testament to the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church’s commitment to nurturing a vibrant, Spirit-filled faith. As the Church continues to embrace opportunities for renewal and unity, events such as these are pivotal in enriching the spiritual lives of its members and strengthening the fabric of the universal Church.

The Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, with its rich heritage and dynamic faith, looks forward to more such gatherings that bridge communities, deepen faith, and celebrate the joy of the Gospel in the heart of the nation’s capital.
