I Now Know Lord



Lord, I now know that my days are a gift from you. When I am down and weary; it is time to rest not to be restless. Troubled by your apparent silence, I now know you are always there, sitting besides me. Your presence is your answer!

Each restless minute spent next to you distracts me from noticing your presence, and I continue to feel down and down, lonely and bereft. Lord, it is then that you place your ever so tender right hand on me. Yet, deep into the dreadful distraction, I fail to feel that gentle touch, because so gently it is that only in calmness and stillness of heart can it be felt.

You raise me up then and I stand on the hilltop; to see far, farther than my vision is used to. You help me to walk on wearly land. Yet I forget that it is your strength and not mine. I fail to see that I am up on your shoulders. I raise myself up more than I am or can be.

Lord, I now know that I have to learn to journey with you, alongside you. I have to wait patiently as you point out the way. And when I am totally exhausted, as I fall asleep along the road, you do not wait patiently besides me. Rather, you hoist me up your shoulders and walk on.

Lord, now I know that you are my all!
Glory to you, Trinity Blessed!
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
