Retreat - Corpus Christi Solemnity - Fifth Day Texts

Today the Holy Mother Church is celebrating the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. The Solemnity of the Most Holy Eucharist. Here is today's text of the homily and four short reflection at four altars during the Eucharistic Procession this afternoon in our parish. Please, continue praying for me and for the whole community taking part in this important spiritual exercise in the parish. Thanks in advance!

Divine Mercy Sunday

I woke up this morning at 5.30am. Surprised to say the least. It was 4pm yesterday when I went to bed to - as I told the housekeeper - to rest for a couple of hours after three days of celebrations. The all night vigil full of spiritual talks, liturgical services and few hours of confessions (five priests involved) was a great success and I managed to stay on my feet and fulfill my duties, but when everybody went home after the High Mass of the Solemnity, adrenaline dropped down - along with me.

I question myself today how the celebrations went and if we did what we were supposed to do and did we fulfill our duties and if what we did God was pleased with... I humbly reckon that we tried our best. We ask the Lord for forgiveness if what we did was not enough.

Today I feel totally tired but quietly happy in my heart. God was great to us and blessed us with a wonderful spiritual experience of the past three days. I continue to pray that His Will continues to to be done and fulfilled by all of us. He knows the way, the tempo, the outcome. Fiat voluntas Tua, Domine!

Novena Before The Solemnity Of Divine Mercy

Today is Good Friday. Apart from the profound Liturgy of the day of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for us who live the Message of Divine Mercy given to us by Jesus himself through Sister Faustina Kowalska, we remember that on this day we begin the Novena before the Divine Mercy Solemnity. I encourage each and every one of you, my dear readers, to join us in praying the Novena. What you need to od first is to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in preparation of intentions of the Novena you would like to pray for. Jesus promised us through Sister Faustina that He will fulfill those intentions if only they are not contrary to His Father's Will. 

St. Joseph

The Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Our Lady and Custodian of Our Lord today. I love St. Joseph. A man of deeds, not a man of words. You won't find a single word he spoke which was written in Gospels. Yet he did so much more...

Eight Routes Up The Mountain

As the majority of solemnities of the liturgical calendar which occur on weekdays are moved to the nearest Sunday in Tanzania, today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. The Gospel of today's liturgy speaks of Eight Routes up the mountain of God (The Eight Beatitudes).
