Lenten Reflections 3: The Word

God, our Father,
You have chosen us for your own nation;
And we your people, pilgrim on earth,
Look forward to meeting you in heaven.
We bring our deepest desires, our love for you.
While we want to understand life in a flash,
You want us to go step by step every day,
And our patience, tested, tried and proved worth,
Finally cools down and hears your word,
Which comes in bits too!
O Lord, you who give us all our needs,
Continue guiding us every day,
With those bits which are enough for the day.
O Lord, drive us to your bosom,
With your word applicable for the moment.
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.
