Right at the outset, I admit that I am not a staunch feminist, yet this presumption doesn’t stop me whispering the truth of my inner voice. As someone said “say the truth and run away”, I do not mean such assumption despite the fact that I, a male, writing on such a significant phenomenon woman . One cannot but accept the significant role of a woman in building a family or a society. Hence, we must appreciate woman’s contribution in nation building. Neither the governments, nor the civil or church laws build families. Instead, it is a woman who builds the family. If so, why there are rapes, domestic violence, and female-foeticide, divorce and unjust wages? State or religion is no exception. Hence, we must question the system, because if the system is corrupt what can we hope for? Hindu, Islam, Judeo-christian systems and the Greek, Roman, Eastern civilizations were all part of this inequality without being judgemental. Let us now get into the heart of the matter.
Rev Fr John Varicatt, was born in 1931 and lived as a Salesian
in the Province of Hyderabad and worked tirelessly for the welfare of the young
people. He died in 2002 due to a massive heart attack. His was the first death
of the province of INH. Today we keep the 12th anniversary of his
demise. Therefore today we prayed for him and prayed to him. One of his hobbies
was to make rosaries of sandalwood and present them to his friends. He was
also known for his sincerity and punctuality. However he used to be flexible
with the people. Although he was a late vocation yet we could see how convinced
he was. His holiness is much greater than any scholarliness. May His Soul Rest in CHRIST.
