One more for the list. :)<BR/><BR/>e.:<BR/>Pretty much everything I know of it comes from the material I've read from the Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara Catholic churches (webiste, flyers, articles, and such), but there is also a lovely hymn by St. Ephraim the Syrian in which the devil bemoans his defeat at the hands of St. Thomas:<BR/>"Where now, is there a place for me to flee to from the righteous?<BR/>I stirred up Death to slay the Apostles,<BR/>that I might be safe from their blows.<BR/>By their deaths now more exceedingly am I cruelly beaten.<BR/>The Apostle whom I slew in India is before me in Edessa:<BR/>he is here wholly and also there.<BR/>I went there, there was he:<BR/>here and there I have found him and been grieved."<BR/><BR/>St. Ephraim is responsible for preserving much of what we know of Mar Thoma's apostolate.CrimsonCatholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623996344637714843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971239.post-68201680618538117112008-04-07T17:47:00.000-04:002008-04-07T17:47:00.000-04:00Crimson,What references do you have concerning Mar...Crimson,<BR/><BR/>What references do you have concerning Mar Thoma?
