Dear Mr. & Mrs. Adriano and Patrizia,

Greetings of Christ’s peace. Hope you are fine. It is quite some time since I wrote to you. Pardon me for that. How are you? How is your health? Hope your children are also keeping well. Please give my love and greetings to your dear children and friends. I was sorry that I was not able to visit you the last time I came to Italy. I shall certainly try the next time I come to Italy. Please let me know when you come to India the next time and we can meet. You are most welcome to Kottayam where I am living now.


I think I had informed you that I was elected Provincial of one of our provinces in August 12 2008. But I was not able to leave Khammam soon after the election due to the works at the seminary and the parish. On 18th October I left the seminary. Now I live in Kerala.


Soon we will celebrate the feast of the Resurrection of our Lord. The Resurrection is the most evident proof of the divinity of Jesus Christ and consequently of the truth of our holy religion. The fact of the Resurrection is incontestable: for it is vouched for by the Apostles, all having been eye-witnesses of the circumstances, having also sealed their testimony with their blood, and having given no room to suspect that they were either deceivers or deceived. Hence their affirmation is most worthy of our belief. Now if Jesus is truly risen again in accordance with his predictions, then he must be God, his very words were divine and the Church which he has founded is divine and infallibly teaches the truth. Hence in believing her teaching, we are certain not to be deceived. Thank you, Jesus! A thousand thanks for this firm foundation upon which our faith rests!


I wish you a very Happy Easter. I have sent you a letter by air mail. May the beautiful spirit of Easter that fills your heart bring you happiness and peace, deep and abiding, every day.


With much love and prayers, I remain,


Yours in Christ


Fr. Siby Peedikayil
