All For Jesus

We are on the thershold of the beatification of the Servant of God Rani Maria. It gives me immense pleasure to know that Fr. AlALL FOR JESUS THE Goysius Kattady has brought out a book entitled: ALL FOR JESUS - The Gospel Journey of Martyr Rani Maria. The book gives the readers an opportunity to get a glimpse of the short span of the forty-one years of the life of Servant of God Rani Maria, her infancy, the spiritual ambience of the family that nurtured her faith, the circumstances that shaped her vocation to religious life, the formative years, her dauntless courage to bring hope and love of Christ to the poorest of the poor, the forces that gathered against her in her mission and the ultimate price that she had to pay in her attempt to fulfill the mandate of Jesus. I fervently hope that the reading of the book will shed a flood of light on the life of Rani Maria as she tried to follow in the footsteps of the Lord.
