Caritas Christi Urget Nos!

We are in the first week of August. I am busy in the computer room preparing an IT exam for my class. Then comes Aun and Ronnie [not their real names]. They want my attention immediately because, apparently, their problem can't wait.
'Alright, tell me something folks,' I start the conversation after saving my work and sitting down near them.
'We need your help,' Aun starts. 'I was talking to Ronnie about my own fears for the imminent computer applications exam and coincidentally he too had the same fears. We thought of coming to see you immediatelly. We felt you may help in calming down the waters!'
From the look of things, the two girls are serious. I study their faces to make sure that I am not simply being too linient.
'Ok. I see your worry. How may I help you then?'
'I think that you don't need our help there,' comes Ronnie.
'We seriously feel that we will fail this exam terribly,' adds Aun.
'Am I right to say that you just need the assurance that this exam won't be that difficult anyway?' I ask testing the waters.
'That might do to a certain extent,' Ronnie says rather philosophically.
'But...', I chip in.
'How can you give us such an assurance? What will be the tangible evidence?' Aun rebuts.
'Alright. I see. You need to be told what to study for the exam.'
'Mmmh.' It's Ronnie again. Her face now relaxes. A grin is registered on Aun's lips.
I quickly take a pen and a paper and write, 'Study the following areas thoroughly: the Word window, Keyboard skills, and the area on General Introduction to computers.
The two girls leave my room all smiles. I smile at my wits and say to myself, 'That's all I taught them in these months. In fact, that is everything!'

Mwana Mpotevu au Waana Wapotevu?

Injili ya Kwaresima: Utangulizi Nafikiri sio rahisi sana kutoa tafakari kuhusu Mwana Mpotevu. Inaitwa pia Injili ya Baba mwenye huruma. Tutagundua kuwa ina majina zaidi ya haya leo. Mojawapo ya vipengele vinavyovutia zaidi vya Maisha ya Kiroho (mafundisho) ya Mt. Joseph Cottolengo ni msisitizo anaweka katika “Kuwa katika uhusiano mwema na Mungu”. Alitaka ziive kati ya wafuasi wake na Mungu. Na Injili hii (Luka 15:11-32) inatusaidia kutathmini kama tupo sawa. Labda inafaa kufikiria ni wana wawili wapotevu. Hebu tuitafakari pamoja kama Walezi wa Watoto Wa Shirika la Kipapa la Utoto Mtakatifu. Kupotelewa na Mwana! Huzuni. Niaminini kweli. Unaweza kuvumilia mara mia kupotelewa na kondoo au hata hela (haya 1-10) kuliko kuvumilia kupotelewa na mtoto. Injili hii utumika mara nyingi kama maandalizi ya maungamo. Inaonyesha picha ya Baba asiyekata tamaa, mwenye huruma kubwa. Hisia tunazopata kuhusiana na tabia ya huyu kijana aliyepotea, na kule kurudi kwake
