Lord, I can see you clearly!

This time round, I feel that it is good to shelf my fiery article on the attitude of Kenyans towards their own leaders and that of leaders towards their citizens. I have decided to post a prayer that has been in my heart for a couple of days. I know it is not just a prayer but a poem, an emotional presentation of my thoughts and feelings to the almighty.

Lord, despite the darkness,
I can see you clearly! 
Your hands has not yet grabbed me,
but I can feel your touch,
your caress on my head.

Lord, with all the darkness,
I still see you clearly!
You're in my thoughts,
as I seek solutions to these problems.
You're in all my imaginations,
in all the vast horizons;
like a small seed.


You're there in the flowing rivulets,
in the plains and mountains.
You're with the children and their mothers,
their siblings and their fathers.
You're in all that's born and dies.
Lord, I see you clearly,
despite the dense fog of life!


You're in the mind and actions,
of those working for justice and peace.
There in their pains and fatigue,
in their efforts and fruits.
You're there without failing,
as each day is born for us.
You emerge in the hopes,
desires, ambitions, visions and dreams.
Lord, I see you clearly,
despite the worries of this life.


Lord, I see you clearly,
aloofness won't veil your presence.
Indifference and ill-intentions,
are not an hindrance to you.
Lord, Lord, you're here with us.
Let us see you clearly.
Amen!

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
