VOCATION SUNDAY

-
We feel joyful in the house of the Almighty. Many sorrows and worries are left outside the gate for those moments of worship. 
The Word lifts us up. The word stirs us.
We feel great when our Kids come out victorious under the tutelage of Catholic Education.
We feel healed when those soothing hands reach out to us in Health Centres. 
We ask for Prayers when faced on all sides with challenges and battles of life.
We run to and seek consolation and direction when life becomes obscure. 
We sometimes seek for physical assistance, whatever can be done to aid the less privileged.

People run to Priests and Religious Women who preach the word, who give quality education, who fight to save lives, who give listening ears to others in the midst of their own struggles, who fight injustices at different levels.

We run to Men and Women who give all these supports. Men and Women who bade farewell to their homes, farewell to comfort and wealth and privileges. Men and Women who said YES to God's bidding to make an impact in the life of God's children.
 
We continue to say YES to making life worth-living.
We continue to say YES to making others smile.
We continue to say YES to upholding the dignity of Human Life.
We continue to say YES to discomforts for the sake of the Kingdom.

It is Good Shepherd Sunday, also called Vocation Sunday. On this day, we pray for increase in vocations to Priesthood and Religious life.

On a day like Vocation Sunday, we pray for these great men and women. 
Who will continue these good works when they are gone?
 Who will go if you don't? 

I invite young men and women, Come join this train and let's work for our salvation and the good of humankind.

Meet us RELIGIOUS SISTERS OF CHARITY as we explore for the poor and vulnerable.👇

Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

It is a privilege to have the Blessed Sacrament with us.  For love of us, before Christ departed the world, he thought of remaining with us to keep us and shield us in the Holy Eucharist, in the form of bread and wine. In our unworthiness, he chooses to stay with us to make us clean. What a love and opportunity given us.  We must search ourselves deeply and look out for that thing that hinders us from receiving Holy Communion. Nothing is worth this great feast and blessing. Nothing! Whatever it is, return back to the Eucharist. The food of life for the journey.  As we take the physical food so importantly, so too we must take the spiritual food so importantly. We ask for mercy for the times we received him unworthily. We ask mercy for the times we doubted his presence in the depths of our hearts. May he help us attain an in-depth love of him as we receive him daily.  May we become what we eat.

SILENCE: SEEDBED FOR THE SOUL

Silence is a language that mediates an encounter with the living God. For those who are trying to figure out where God is calling them to serve, some silent times will offer clarity about their desires and future. Our busy noisy world most times shut us from perceiving the silent beauty of things.  Silence is a language that enables us to understand what God might be saying and once that language is learned, communicating becomes very comfortable. Silence is your passport. With it you can break territories very fertile for you. With it, you discover the hidden treasures.  God constantly sends waves, but we need the Spiritual Antenna to pick up the waves. Silence is the Antenna. The waves are God's words and movements. Silence is not so easy but it is attainable with efforts and practise. Keep tuning to pick up the waves and you will see the Godseed in you develop and make impact in our society. Elijah discovered God in silent breeze. (1 Kings 19: 9-15). Jesus retre...

Stand up and Say No

Crime keeps increasing and morality decreasing Women are taken for granted at times for no faults of their own Who ever chose their gender when God was creating? Why then would some people go through trauma untold. A woman is a beautiful creature of God Meant to be a life-giver beyond words But are they now just sex-objects for fun Or they are to be help mates in all? She is molested and raped because she is a woman She is blamed for childlessness in marriage because she is a woman She is accused of the same infidelity her husband is guilty of because she is a woman She is seen as too hard when she speaks out because she is a woman. The world will be more beautiful if all women are treated right, Cos Life gives you back what you give to it. If women are treated with respect Peace and harmony will take its' stead. Women, say no to been silenced after sexual abuse Why keep quiet and the abuser thrives in evil The abuser grows in chains of abuse Inflicting more pains like a Devil. Eno...
