Breathe of Love!

Not used to pomp and glory,
I prefer far greater no-things,
to bringing my soul's inclinations,
close to the breathe of life.

I choose to open up some space,
to suit your outstretched arms, Lord.

My God! How can one open up,
to no-time, no-space, to eternity?
Yet, the more I create space,
the nearer eternity comes.

I choose to widen my space,
to welcome your outstretched arms, Lord.

Not used to heaps of things,
I go for materialess,
for then God can fill me,
with a breathe of love.

I choose to extend my space,
to accommodate your outreaching arms, Lord.

I am for calmness and peace,
because I hear God in there,
while before me stand all,
who like me have chosen thee.

I choose to stretch my space,
now to welcome you my Lord.

Not used to crack and crag,
I will go for silence,
I am flooded with stillness,
and there I find your being.

I choose you my dear Lord,
because you have chosen me for your presence.

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...
