Martin Jumbam

The Universal Church celebrates Sunday, April 02, 2017, as the Fifth Sunday of Lent – Year A. In the entrance antiphon we pray: “Give me justice, O God, and defend my cause against the wicked; rescue me from deceitful and unjust men. You, O God, are my refuge. Amen.” 

Martin Jumbam’s “My Conversion Journey with Christian Cardinal Tumi": The compelling testimony of a renewed Christian

By Douglas A. Achingale*

It is often said of well-crafted books that they are usually so enthralling that it would be hard for the reader to drop them until they get to the final word. This observation, to my mind, most conveniently suits Martin Jumbam’s My Conversion Journey with Christian Cardinal Tumi. For, this work of Christian literature, a collection of 16 breath-taking articles and two electrifying interviews, spread over 161 pages, explores the ‘growth’ of the author – from an aficionado of worldly pleasures to a practical believer whose entire being is now animated by the Word of God! Amongst a few other related subjects, of course.

Catholic Meditation - Fourth Sunday of Lent - Year A

Martin Jumbam

The Universal Church celebrates Sunday, March 26, 2017, as the fourth Sunday of Lent - Year A . The fourth Sunday of Lent comes three weeks before Easter. It is also called the Laetare Sunday, the Sunday of Rejoicing when the austerity of Lent is briefly set aside. The organ is played in church, flowers are allowed on the altar and the purple vestments of Lent, signifying penance, are put aside.
