FR. CARAPIET  SHARES  MIRACLE  NEWS ON THE  INTERNET


A bright blue sky and shimmering sunlight greeted devotees on Sunday morning , 28 April 2013 as they came down from distant places to attend the inauguration of the renovated chapel of Divine Mercy at 3 Elliott Road, Calcutta. Melvyn Brown, Founder of the Ambassadors For Jesus, a lay Catholic movement welcomed the people.

Fr. Basil, asst. parish priest, St. Mary’s Church , Ripon Street blessed the Chapel’s altar (see pic). He read a passage from the gospel, and involved those present in prayers to Mother Mary and Jesus. Fr. Basil blessed the people, and the inner rooms of the Chapel, the home of Mr. Brown.


Melvyn Brown was asked to narrate his experience of the miracle light.  He was emotionally moved by the gravity of the event. Melvyn said, with his charismatic flair, that this was truly a welcome Message for this Holy Year of Faith. It was said AFJ Founder , a seed cast for the sharing of our Catholic faith among all people. Indeed, the social dynamic of the miracle had already, in a few days, lit and uplifted the faith in many hearts in the city, and elsewhere around the country.

The Secular Citizen (Mumbai), a Catholic weekly, splashed the miracle news in colour in their issue of 15 April , 2013.

A Catholic priest, Fr.
