Answers
Who is st.Chavara ? .......
Answer:
St. Chavara’s spirituality is found in several areas which include preaching the word of god, renewal programmes for priests, press apostolate, catechumates, home for the destitute, strengthening liturgical life, fostering loyalty to the Church etc. However, there is an aspect in the saint which has not been brought into limelight; his poetic excellence. He was indeed a versatile linguist. He was proficient in Malayalam, Tamil, Sanskrit, Syriac, Latin, Italian and Portuguese.
According to the researches carried out during the process of canonization, it was confirmed that St. Chavara had 102 writings in his account, which included 67 letters, five chronicles, six liturgical books, 16 matters related to administration and eight spiritual writings. St. Chavara’s writings were quite impressive and varied. There arethree poems accredited to his name, they are Dirge, Anasthasias’s Martyrdom and Compunction of the Soul.
Dirge celebrates the communion of saints among the Church. Anasthasias’ Martyrdom is sensuous, emotional and it depicts the holiness of the virgin Anasthasia. Compunction of the soul is one of the best poems of Chavara which is based on the mystical city of God and divine history of the mother of god. What seem to be interesting are the autobiographical traits contained in his works. In the Compunction of the Soul, he depicts the preparation for his final meeting with the Lord in death and judgment. It alternates in pouring out the feelings of compunction. The poem comprises twelve chapters, which in details refers to the birth, teachings, death and all the events which happened in the life of Jesus.
