"Dear migrants: Before I say anything else I want to bow before your dignity. ... You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes. You have dreams that no one has the right to despise.”

Cheptongei Village Tribunal Judgement:

We agree with you that your neighour cut your fence & stole your cow. We can see the cow in his compound. But we are afraid we can’t return the cow as he has fixed the fence where he had cut. But to compensate you, we will give you a goat!

Case Dismissed.

Today I got my period at work with absolutely zero warning.

I did the panic walk.

Quietly asked every woman in the office if anyone had a pad.

Nothing. Not one person had anything.

At some point, one of the guys overheard me and casually said:

“Uh… I think I have some in my car.”

Turns out he keeps emergency pads there for his girlfriend.

Five minutes later, he comes back and hands me a pastry bag.

Not a grocery bag. Not just the pads.

A pastry bag.

Because he didn’t want me to feel awkward walking through the office carrying pads where everyone could see.

And somehow this man had already thought ahead enough to bring two, because:

“You’ve still got a long shift.”

Sir.

I wasn’t emotionally prepared to discover that basic kindness can hit harder than caffeine on a workday.

Sometimes the greenest flag is just someone quietly making sure your bad day feels a little less awful.

A priest is seen administering the Sacrament of Baptism to a pair of infant twins.

Usually, when you see a priest do this in a hospital, it simply means that the situation is dire.

Mostly when the babies are in a critical situation that may lead to death.

The essence of the baptism is to cleanse them from the sins that they inherited from Adam and Eve and make them one with the church.

May God bless all of our priests.

If DRC had not burned those Ebola makeshift tents, and we made noise here on 𝕏 , today you would be wearing masks, locked in your house and getting frisked when you leave your town.

The Ebola narrative was a scam, and it should die.

This kid is praying before a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary placed at a Catholic Hospital in the Indian State of Kerala. I can only imagine the anguish or anticipation within his little mind and the depth of the prayer that rose from his heart.

May the Lord hear his prayer and answer him.

THE CATHOLIC RULE OF LIFE I WISH SOMEONE HAD TAUGHT ME SOONER

A few years ago, I thought becoming a better Catholic meant learning more.

More theology.

More apologetics.

More books.

More Catholic content.

Those things are good.

But I eventually discovered something surprising.

Most saints did not become saints because they knew more.

They became saints because they consistently did a few simple things every day.

That realization changed how I view the spiritual life.

So after studying Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the lives of the saints, I began noticing a pattern.

Different saints.

Different centuries.

Different personalities.

Yet they all built their lives around the same foundations.

If someone asked me today:

“How do I actually live like Jesus Christ every day?”

This is the framework I would share.

And honestly, it is the framework I am still trying to live myself.

1. GIVE GOD THE FIRST MOMENT OF YOUR DAY

Before the notifications.

Before the messages.

Before the news.

Before social media.

Give God the first moment.

Make the Sign of the Cross.

Thank Him for another day.

Offer everything to Him.

The first voice you hear should not be the world.

It should be God.

2. READ THE GOSPEL BEFORE YOU READ OPINIONS

One verse.

One paragraph.

One chapter.

Whatever you can manage.

The point is simple:

Let Christ shape your mind before the world shapes it for you.

Many of us spend hours consuming information and only minutes receiving formation.

That imbalance affects everything.

3. PROTECT THE STATE OF GRACE LIKE YOUR GREATEST TREASURE

Because it is.

The Church teaches that sanctifying grace is God's own life within the soul.

Nothing on earth is worth losing that.

Not success.

Not money.

Not pleasure.

Not popularity.

Go to Confession regularly.

Take sin seriously.

Take God's mercy even more seriously.

4. BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND THE EUCHARIST

The saints never got tired of speaking about the Eucharist.

Neither should we.

The closer they drew to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the more they began to resemble Him.

Sunday Mass is the minimum.

Not the goal.

If possible, attend daily Mass.

Visit Jesus in Adoration.

Stay after Communion.

Speak to Him.

Listen to Him.

Remain with Him.

5. STOP LOOKING FOR HOLINESS IN EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

Most holiness happens in ordinary moments.

Being patient when you are tired.

Forgiving when you would rather hold a grudge.

Remaining kind when someone is difficult.

Serving when nobody notices.

The saints did not become saints because they did spectacular things every day.

They became saints because they loved God in ordinary circumstances.

6. CARRY YOUR CROSS INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM IT

Every day brings a cross.

A disappointment.

A struggle.

A wound.

A sacrifice.

A burden nobody else sees.

Modern culture says:

“Avoid suffering.”

Jesus says:

“Follow Me.”

The difference is enormous.

One path seeks comfort.

The other seeks transformation.

Some of the most important vitamins - A, D, E and K need fat to be absorbed.

A low fat diet can make you deficient in these.

Eat more healthy fat, not less fat.

But, let it be from good sources like nuts, seeds, avocados, natural fish, ghee, local eggs and organic butter.
