Well, it gets so busy here that rest and sleep seem like it's for dead people. I do get a good amount of sleep here, but we are very busy. I'm not even an Achen yet, but I am super busy.
Yesterday, June 9, 2011 was a long and tiring day. I don't understand how my mother does a twelve hour shift, and at night, nonetheless! We arrived at the Sinai Mar Thoma Center around 9:00 AM, and we left at 9:00 PM, taking only the lunch, dinner, and tea breaks. Thirumeni, Geevarghese Achen (Diocesan Secretary), Biju Achen, and myself sat together and began to revise the Liturgy and began preparing it to become a book. This book has all the sacramental worships as well as a few other. I think it was a very unique time. For some reason, as I was sitting and reading the original copy and making changes as we went on, I felt a sense of peace and a sense of humbleness as I read the worship. I wasn't even in a church, but something about it rushed a feeling of a sense of humility. I must admit, I really do appreciate the St. James' Liturgy. It gives me a fear of the Lord.
"For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
-Matthew 23:12
