Mercy is when you can't even explain how you're still surviving, yet you are. You don't have it all figured out, but every day, God provides the strength, help, and grace you need right on time.
Once you realize that anything can happen; sickness, death, lose your job... Literally, anything in the blink of an eye, you become very humble. Tables turn and that's how crazy life can get.
Always stay humble, and be grateful.
The murder of Bishop Osório Citora Afonso of the Diocese of Quelimane in Mozambique is an absolute tragedy.
Bishop Osório Citora Afonso was targeted and killed for his faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Christianity remains - by far - the most persecuted religion in the world. We must continue to stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ who face violence and death for their faith.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Mother Most Pure, keep our heart free from sin. Help us to love God with a sincere and humble heart. Guard our thoughts, our words, our actions - so that in all things, we may reflect Christ. Amen.
Let us ask Mary, Queen of Peace, to teach us to renounce hurtful words, hasty judgment, gossip, and slander. May we learn to cherish and nurture love within our families, among friends, in the workplace, on social media, in political debates, and in Christian communities, so that hatred may give way to hope and peace. #ApostolicJourney

(Mention your Intention Here)
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
In a world torn apart by wars and divisions, in a society that is increasingly fragmented and individualistic, we wish to be witnesses and prophets of unity, welcome, harmony, and peace, even at the cost of sacrifice and renunciation. We wish to offer our “yes,” ready if necessary to die to ourselves, to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again, to renounce the superfluous in order to build upon what is essential and lasts forever (Mt 16:24–26). #ApostolicJourney
The goodness of even a few people can overcome the fear of many. We must be like an open Bible for everyone. May others encounter the Word of God in our faces and lives. Love is the language that makes everyone feel at home. #ApostolicJourney
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, embolden me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Never permit me to be parted from you.
From the evil Enemy defend me.
At the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to you,
that with your Saints I may praise you
for age upon age.
Amen.

Just been to Makerere to emcee the event when a 60 year old professor of mathematics is retiring! You retire what is out of use. No? How can we retire a professor of mathematics at just 60? Do we have many around any way? Mango is a super fine head. Our public service regulations are extremely reckless. You retire a university professor? 60 a university professor is just hotting his prime and at his most useful age to deliver using gained experience and you retire him or her?
Shame on us.
As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.
As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.
As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.
As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.
As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.
This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.
