THE PRECAUTIONS
(St. John of the Cross)
Dear
Friends,
The Precautions of St. John of the Cross are a precious
treasure for those who wish to live an authentic
Christian life and attain perfection of Christian
charity within a short period of time. When reading the
Precautions, we may feel they are hard and too tough to
practice, but the intention of St. John of the Cross was
to help the aspirants to experience God in their daily
life and be united with Him on a daily basis regardless
of the difficulties involved. These are very practical
recommendations and are helpful for spiritual direction
and discernment. Here I have prepared a short commentary
on these precautions, which I presume will be useful for
spiritual reading and spiritual growth. These
reflections will be uploaded on the Carmelite Website of
our Province shortly.
Thanking you,
Fr. Rudolf V. D’Souza OCD

The history of St. Joseph Church in Mira Road can be
traced back to 1985 when people residing in Charni Road,
Warden Road, Hill Road, Linking Road, Peddar Road,
Napean Sea Road - all famous destinations and number one
residential addresses - started asking the question "
Where is Mira Road ? " , in response to a huge building
plan and advertising blitz
The Bishop was again approached – a priest was needed.
Heads turned in the direction of the Carmelite Priest
Fr. Richard Castelino, residing at St. Louis Church in
Dahisar in 1987.Under the direction of the Bishop, he
was in the process of identifying candidates to the
priesthood from Mira Road. Soon, for various reasons,
and to the eternal joy of our early Catholics, the
Carmelites had to forgo the parish at Dahisar due to
increasing problems with regard to land and language,
and take up the fledgling set of activities at Mira
Road. The year was 1988. Fr. Richard Castelino pitched
in – "I will willingly come to Mira Road, even if there
are just 10 people to support me there". The generosity
of Fr. Richard prompted Rev. Fr. Provincial Joseph D’
Souza to take a bold step. Immediately, Carmelite
priests landed in Mira Road.
