Kocrilov u Svitav - Czech Republic. August 17 - 21. 2011
Fr. James conducted a residential renewal retreat for over 600 people in the Church of Alponsus Ligouri  at Fatima Apostolate Centre in Koclirov U Svitav of Czek Republic from August 17th to 20th. It was organized by Fr. Powel and Hanna. As the Church was small, people had to squeeze themselves to sit down and listen to the Word of God preached. There were people in corridoors, verandhas and small rooms where the whole program was projected on screens. During the retreat, the local bishop Jan Vokal visited the participants of the retreat and gave an encouraging message and gave his apostolic blessing. He was very much edified and happy to see the thirst of the people to listen to God's words in spite of sufficient comfort and convenience in the venue. Gaby gave a beautiful testimony of her conversion and healing. On the 3rd day Fr. James prayed over every one for the infilling of the Holy Spirit and on the last day by sharing testimonies of inner healing and physical healing, the group expressed their gratitude to God.

On 21st sunday,  from 9 AM, over 5000 people gathered in the open air space of the venue to listen to God's words and to receive the blessings of conversion, healing etc. It was called a day of evangelization. It is a hilly meadow with many apple trees and other fruit trees, and the people were happy to be under the shades of the trees, and with umbrellas on the grass to listen to the program. Dr. Richie gave his powerful testimony of conversion and healing. His presence along with his wife Jenine & four children was an inspiration especially for the young married couples. Radek & Suzanna, an young couple whom Fr. James married a month & a half ago at Prague, also gave their testimony of conversion last year here in the same ground. It is the similar program last year here that opened their eyes towards  the need of a life centered on Christ and the Church. Although they were baptized, they had not practiced any form of  Christianity. After their touch of the Lord here last year, they participated the retreats of Fr. James in France, Portugal etc, and after learning Catechism and the Bible, received the Sacraments of confession, communion, confirmation and matrimony within an year. Now they are determined to do what they can to evangelize their Republic. The day of evangelization ended with the Holy Mass and healing prayers conducted by Fr. James. All the talks were translated by Varslaw and Hanna. Here are are some photos.

Bielorusia. Julio 28 - 31. 2011
On 26th July Gaby and Fr. James arrived in the airport of Vilnius, the Capital of Lithuania. Fr. Czeslaw, the organizer of the program in Belarus received them and took them immediately to the Shrine of the Divine Mercy where the original  picture of the Divine Mercy, painted by Eugeniuz Kazimiroswaki in 1934 under the direct supervision of St. Maria Faustina (who has the mystical experiences of the Divine Mercy) and her spiritual father & confessor Blessed Michael Spocko. At 4 pm Frs. James & Czeslaw concelebrated the Holy Mass there and Fr. James preached. Then Fr. James and Gaby visited the home of Bl. Sopocko where the picture was painted. Then all proceeded to Belarus. The security at the border took more than one hour to screen & to verify the passports of Fr.James and Gaby. It is very difficult for foreigners to visit this country which has only very limited freedom although it is a republic!  Fr. James was given special permission by the President to preach in the country. Late in the evening they reached the town & parish called "Rose" where the retreat was to be conducted. The Holy Trinity Church here is 400 years old. Recently it is raised as a sanctuary of the "Passion of Christ" as there is a miraculous statue of the Passion of Christ on the main altar.

On the following day they visited the seminary, the Castles and  Catholic Cathedral  and the Orthodox Cathedral at Grodno. The retreat began in the afternoon which was in the open air, attended by more than 3000 people. Although the majority were Belarusians, there were people  also from Moldavia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Austria and Russia (from Kaliningrad and Moska). It was for the first time after freedom from the Red Army that such a big spiritual event  was conducted in the country. Often dark clouds were on the sky to rain but the fervent prayers of the people to Jesus coupled with the command of Fr. James to chase the clouds by winds for a suitable climate, kept the venue freed from rains, although all around the town it was raining on all those days. For many unbelievers it was the great miracle! Belarus is a country with a population of 10 million with 45% of atheists. The Catholics and the Orthodox constitute Christianity in the country. The Catholic population is estimated as 2 million. Almost 30% of the participants of the retreat were the Orthodox.  Fr. James gave powerful orations on Christ and His Church explaining very clearly the need of conversion and new life through the experience of the Holy Spirit. For many people it was for the first time that they were hearing about the power of Sacraments and the Church. Gaby shared her testimony of conversion & that of her son Richie and  her own healing from MS. On Saturday after noon Fr. James prayed over all by laying hands. On Sunday, the local Bishop of the Diocese of Grodno Dr. Rt. Rev Alexandro Kaszkiewicz (the President of the Bishops conference of the country) came along with Bishop Antoni Dziemianko, the auxiliary Bishop of the diocese of Minsh to concelebrate the Holy mass. On all days there were many priests to hear confessions and to concelebrate the Holy Mass, and most of them had made a retreat with Fr. James in Poland a few months ago. The Chancellor of the Diocese Fr. Vladimir gave the homily and the Bishop gave his words of appreciation at the end of the Mass. Both the Bishops were on the stage after the Mass to participate in the thanks giving program, to hear the various testimonies of the people and to attend the blessings of the articles by Fr. James. There were beautiful testimonies of healing and conversion. The retreat ended with the official blessing with the Crucifix by Bp. Alexandro for the Plenary Indulgence while people prayed for the intention of the Holy Father the Pope.

In the evening on Sunday Fr. James was taken to the Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier at Grodno for healing Mass. It was for the fist time that the bishop allowed for such a program in his cathedral. A large crowd which was estimated more than 5000 had gathered in the Cathedral to attend the Holy Mass celebrated in Polish by Fr. James, to hear his powerful preaching of the Word of God and to pray for healing of the soul body. The Parish priest of the Cathedral said that he had not seen such a big crowd in the Cathedral even for Christmas and the Easter! He exclaimed and said that it was a "spiritual Tsunami" for the believers  of the Diocese from 27th to 31st of July. On 1st Morning Gaby & Fr. James left Belarus and after visiting the miraculous Icon of the "Mother of Mercy" and the 3 martyrs in the Orthodox church in Lithuania  and returned to Munich via Lithuania& Frankfurt.

Viseu - Portugal. Julio 22 - 24. 2011
From 22nd to 24th July a renewal retreat was conducted in the Muncipal stadium at Viseu in Portugal. Over 1500 people attended the retreat. On the second day morning due to a health problem, Fr. James had to go the public hospital to consult the doctors, hence he could not preach in the morning. But Mr. Joao, the main organizer of the retreat kept the people spiritually active through readings from the Bible, prayers and singing etc. In the after noon Fr. James rushed to the hall and continued preaching. On the last day he prayed over all those who were in the hall, although many advised him to take rest.
On the 23rd, at 2 PM, Fr. James baptized a child called "Samira", the first child of Francisco and Andrea (collaborators to organize the retreats) in the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao) in St. Joseph's Parish of Viseu. Here are some photos.
On 25th Fr. James celebrated the Holy Mass in the Chapel of the airport at Madrid along with Gaby, Javier, Gaby's sister Elsie and her daughter Rocío. It was the feast of St. James, the patron of Spain. In Spain it was a solemnity day, and Fr. James was so happy to say Mass in Spain on that day. Javier says that in the past several times on 25th of July Fr. James was in Spain. It is not simple coincidence! Perhaps God wants Fr. James to believe the fact that St. James, the apostle, his patron saint was buried in Santiago Compostela.

She was blessed in her mothers womb by Bl .John Paul II, when he received the newly married couples in Vatican. While born she was a blue child with all symptoms  of epilepsy but the Lord healed her fully by prayers especially at Baptism. While she was a few months old, in her visit to Kerala with her parents, a priest gave her the Blood of Christ as it is the custom in the Syro Malabar church. The priest thought that she was baptized on that day! In Eastern rite the children are given Holy Communion and confirmation at their Baptism. From her two, she was asking for Holy Communion.  She, along with her sister and two brothers go daily to the Holy Mass with her parents. Hence all the children have a great attraction to the Holy Eucharist.She learned almost all prayers in English, Latin and German. During the concelebrated Mass, during the Offertory and after the Communion, Anna sang hymns --"All to Jesus I surrender..."& "To be like Jesus..." After the Mass she gave vote of thanks.
