        There are differences of Opinion among the scholars itself as i have consulted a few. According to one group Kindness and Generosity are distinct and others say they can be put together. Anyway the Official Website of the Syromalabar Church teaches them as Follows: https://www.smsmartcatechism.org/home/catechism_details/138 and Malayalam Version as: https://www.smsmartcatechism.org/home/catechism_details/87
        Thank You.

          Thank u

          i have some other things also to ask.

          is there an official English equivalent for these prayers below (these are the 3 prayers found in our “vishwasa samkshepam “ book at the end of the 32 prayers in it – without any number):

          a) പുലർകാലജപം

          പിതാവിൻ്റെയും പുത്രൻ്റെയും പരിശുദ്ധാത്മാവിൻ്റെയും നാമത്തിൽ ആമ്മേൻ

          ഈശോ മറിയം യൗസേപ്പേ, അശുദ്ധമായ കാഴ്ച ഞാൻ കാണാതെയും വിചാരിക്കാതെയും ഇരിക്കുവാൻ നിങ്ങളുടെ സങ്കേതത്തിൽ എൻ്റെ കണ്ണുകൾ ഞാൻ തുറക്കുന്നു.

          b) എഴുന്നേൽക്കുമ്പോൾ

          ഈശോമിശിഹായുടെ തിരുനാമത്തിൽ ഞാൻ എഴുന്നേൽക്കുന്നു.

          എൻ്റെ കർത്താവേ! കിടക്കയിൽനിന്ന് എഴുന്നേറ്റതുപോലെ ഞാൻ സകല പാപങ്ങളെയും വിട്ട് എഴുന്നേറ്റു വീണ്ടും പാപത്തിൽ വീഴാതിരിപ്പാൻ എന്നെ അവിടന്നു കാത്തുകൊള്ളണമെ.

          c) ഉടുക്കുമ്പോൾ

          എൻ്റെ കർത്താവേ! ഈ ശരീരം മറപ്പാൻ അങ്ങു വസ്ത്രം തന്നതുപോലെ ആത്മാലങ്കാരത്തിന് അങ്ങേ ഇഷ്ടപ്രസാദം എനിക്കു തന്നരുളേണമേ. ആമ്മേൻ.

            Sorry. There is no English equivalent Text available for the above 3 Prayers. As you may know there are other so many similar prayers. If you like these prayers please make a translation and share so that it would help others too. Thank you.

            a) Morning Prayer

            In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
            Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
            I open my eyes within your shelter;
            guard me, that I may neither see nor entertain anything impure.

            b) Upon Rising

            In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I rise from my bed.
            My Lord, as I get up from sleep,
            may I also rise away from every sin,
            and keep me, Lord, from falling into sin again.

            c) While Dressing

            My Lord,
            as You have given me clothing to cover this body,
            grant me also the adornment of Your grace for my soul.
            Amen.

                Yes, it is a translation. We couldn’t find an exact traditional form in English anywhere. Feel free to use it anywhere for the purpose of prayer. Thank you.

    why is it that “sahanashkthi” missing in the English….

    everywhere in English they have written Generosity instead of this “sahanashakthi”. I think kindness and generosity are one and sahanashakthi which I presume is to be written as forbearance or something.

    is this something that is to be corrected?

    If I am to do a small book how shud this be written?
