Suzette Jordan R.I.P.

IN MEMORIAM SUZETTE JORDAN

This Memoriam is about Suzette Jordan, the Park Street rape victim. The Anglo-Indian daughter of a fast vanishing community in the city of Calcutta, who fought for justice and with a brave heart she fought courageously, even after being examined and cross-examined.Her lawyer, Anirban Guha Thakurta said, " Her deposition is complete." Three of the five accused have been arrested. Susan had been gang-raped in a car on the 5th February 2012 at Park Street. Her death, on the 12th March 2015 will not jeopardize the case pending in the court of the additional sessions judge. Suzie was diagnosed with multiple organ failure. My friends around the world join hands with me and pray for this soul who became a symbol for oppressed women, pray that justice may be done, and not denied; only then will we bid farewell to Suzette

Snowflakes in Life

TO ALL MY FRIENDS

Each one of you is special to me. No one can take your place. You are snow-flakes in my life; the rainbow to color my sad moments and the magic flute in happy times. Five fingers and snow-flakes are never the same, nor are you- and I love each of you. I sit beside you when you are alone. I am with you when things go wrong. I am able to do this because I believe I can. And you will feel my nearness for I am truly the Ambassador For Jesus. He is almighty and knows how much I truly care about you. Tell me, whatever, and I promise to intercede for you.Share with me if you are lonely, heart-broken, afraid and downright sad. I live thousands of miles from where you are, but, in my life you live across the street. I feel so happy to read your messages. I bless you, pray for you and thank you each time in my own silent replies. My thoughts and my love for you goes deep into the shrine of your soul. May God bless you abundantly.

Melvyn Brown's Christmas Tree- Calcutta 2014

AFJ CHRISTMAS AT THE CHAPEL THIS YEAR

The Ambassadors For Jesus, Calcutta chapter, brought in the Spirit of the season last Sunday at the Chapel of Divine Mercy, designed to prepare the yuletide for Christ’s holy arrival.

The AFJ annual Christmas treat for less-privileged Catholic children was organized under the direction of their founder Melvyn Brown, and the event catered to ages 6-12 years.

The focus this year (the year of Consecrated Life) drew attention to the values of the Gospels, to courage, evangelizing the Word and to holiness.

Melvyn Brown used the medium of songs and games to ‘Awaken’ the urge in youngsters (see pic. of Melvyn with some of the children) helping his audience to enrich the faith with their visions. The pre-Christmas celebration was witnessed by friends, parents, and well- wishers. AFJ NEWS.
