Ithra cheruthakan ethra valarenam

How much one should grow to be little?

This was the theme shared during the Dec 31st midnight mass at Koonammavu church (monastry).  Definitely it has lots of meaning. When all of us are always trying to become somebody, here the call is to become nobody by serving others. Most of the great people around us followed this – Gandhi, Mother Teresa – some of the big names and I am sure that there are many lesser known ones. I think this is the essence of life itself. Becoming nobody by serving others. Only then life has some meaning. It can be by work itself, by helping others to smile….by helping them improve their lives a little.
