'First ever blessing!'


Dear Camy and Dany,

Congratulations! 

You are blessed 
to become parents now! 

This is the first ever 
blessing in the Bible: 
“Be fruitful and multiply…” 

In His great providence, 
God has given men and women 
a share in his creative power! 
And now you two are made 
instruments in this divine activity. 

On this great day 
let me quote for you 
a great verse from 
Kannadasan’s ‘Yesu Kaaviyam’: 
“Aandoru pillai aayiram peralaam; 
Yesuvai pola innoru pillai 
Isanai kette ini pera vendum.” 

Yes, let the child conceived 
be the one God willed 
for you and the world! 

May God give you both 
necessary grace to give birth 
to a child like Jesus 
who ‘increased in wisdom 
and in stature, and 
in favour with God and man.’ 

May you be praised 
like the mother/father of Jesus: 
‘Blessed is the womb that bore you…’ 

Be mindful of your great call 
to become parents and live accordingly 
to welcome God’s most precious gift 
to you and to the world.


Hereafter let your thoughts 
and even feelings be 
as pure as possible. 

Let no negative thoughts 
even cross your mind. 
Be positive and happy 
so that the child may take 
the world little more closer 
to a better future.


Read good books, 
listen good music 
and see good films 
and pictures as well 
as eat good food, 
sleep well and 
certainly have enough 
exercises, preferably work at home.


We are all praying for you both 
and the sweet child to visit us all 
in due time. 

May God bless you both 
and child conceived. 

Expectantly,

maaman.
