FIRST AID//REV.A.T.THOMAS//SAMARITAN

 I had sent the following message to Shara, Preethi's sister.

 Shara is in USA.

"We held a prayer at home on 4thOct2025. Approx 40 participated. Inclusive us.

ATThomas Achen of Pattoor St.Thomas MarThoma  Church, Trivandrum gave a rousing message. A challenging message.

Worth the pain. And the time.

It was a time to bring alive Ammachi"

 She replied, "Waiting to hear the synopsis of the message."

 And I replied, "It's a difficult proposition."

"It was quite good. No recordings. No one wrote out the points.

I can challenge my memory.

 Achen spoke on Ammachi extensively. He acknowledged the write ups I had forwarded. He said from what he has learned Ammachi was a great woman. A woman who did wonders for her patients. That too at cheap costs when he compared the 1lac rupees he had to spend for implanting one tooth

He went on to the good Samaritan.

He said those who could and those who were closer to God sidestepped the fallen man though they had the first aid with them. The Samaritan stopped to help the Jew although they were enemies. His thinking was if  he didn't help who else would do that.

Then he spoke on the sufferings of the rich  elderly. He said there were two invalid persons in a single house where the cost to look after them was Rs.65k per person. 

Money doesn't buy comfort as you grow old. Your money is worthless. The problem has arisen because of the extended longevity.

Achen said though he is incapable to do big things his prayer was that he should be capable to provide the first aid.

He spoke highly of Lila and Ammamma and the families who looked after the great Ammachi in her old age."

I know this is skeletal. Please check with Preethi who may have more to contribute"

 Her reply, "👏🏼👏🏼 No onset of dementia by God’s grace."
