Welcome to the October edition of SMCB Times!
The air is crisp and nature is starting to bloom out in fiery red and saffron, a beautiful reminder of change! And for us, it's that time of the year when we are called to rejuvenate our devotion by praying the Rosary!
To commemorate the Rosary Month, we bring you a feature on the history of the Rosary as well as pictures of the DIY Rosary challenge taken up by some of our young SMCBians.
In Musings, our guest columnist contemplates on how each one of us is a traveler on an individual journey, with starts and stops along the way. One of our editors brings you a short story about how God reveals Himself with perfect timing!
Church Life brings you joyful announcements and the story behind the Elevator project.
Do take some time to ponder on the life of St.Francis of Assissi, as his unconditional love and service for humanity and campaign for social justice are just as relevant in these modern times.
The entries in Culinaire draw inspiration from American confection to French Country style baking. We have an original recipe as well!
Sit back and enjoy the last garden feature for the year, as a reminder of the lovely summer days that have gone by.
Happy Reading!

The Holy Rosary
The Holy Rosary
The Rosary is the most well known Catholic devotion, worldwide. The word "Rosary" comes from the Latin word "Rosarium", meaning a garland of roses. The Rosary symbolizes the presentation of a garland of roses to Mother Mary as we would for our earthly mother.
In this feature, we take you on a journey back in time to learn about the early origins of the sacred beads. In preparation of the Rosary month, SMCB Times had advertised a DIY Rosary challenge. We take you through some of the team building action.

Our Guest Columnist Sindhu Nair presents a Malayalam poem.
നിറയെ യാത്രക്കാരുള്ള ഒരു തീവണ്ടി യാത്രയാണ് ഓരോ ജീവിതവും. കടന്നു പോകുന്ന ഓരോ സ്റ്റേഷനിലും ആളൊഴിഞ്ഞു പോകുന്ന തീവണ്ടി പോലെ, ഓരോ വഴിത്തിരിവുകളിൽ കൂടി കടന്നു പോകെ, ജീവിതത്തിൽ നമ്മളും ഒറ്റയ്ക്കായിപ്പോകുന്നു ഒടുവിൽ ആ അവസാനയാത്രയിൽ തീർത്തും ഏകനായിമാറുന്നു, 'The lonely passenger'
God is never late and rarely early. He is always exactly right on time.... His Time.

മതിലുകെട്ടിയ മനസ്സോടെ മനുഷ്യനെ നോക്കുമ്പോൾ കണ്ടെത്തുന്നത് സത്യത്തിൽ ഉള്ള മനുഷ്യനെ അല്ല,
പ്രത്യുത നോട്ടക്കാരനിഷ്ടപെട്ട മനുഷ്യനെ ആണ്..!
സത്യം ഗ്രഹിക്കുവാൻ തുറവി വേണം,
കാണുന്നതിനപ്പുറം കാണുവാൻ ഉൾക്കണ്ണും വേണം.
സത്യം സാക്ഷ്യമാക്കുവാൻ ഉപവി ഉണ്ടാകണം.
ഉപവിയുടെ മനുഷ്യരും ഉണ്ടാവണം.
