We must keep in mind two attitudes in our Christian life in order to be “wise architects” in building the civilization of love. The first guiding principle is to take up the cross of Christ as Good Samaritans, accompanying and helping to carry the burdens of so many brothers and sisters who are crucified by life’s trials. The second principle is to cultivate a Eucharistic spirituality, a spirituality of ecclesial unity in love.

Even today there are tombs to be opened, and often the stones sealing them are so heavy and so closely guarded that they seem to be immovable. Some weigh heavily on the human heart, such as mistrust, fear, selfishness and resentment; others, stemming from these inner struggles, sever the bonds between us through war, injustice and the isolation of peoples and nations. Let us not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by them! #Easter
Leo Mama Kanisa anaadhimisha dominika ya tano ya kwaresima mwaka A wa kiliturujia katika Kanisa. Katika dominika hii kuna mambo makuu mawili ya kuzingatia. Kwanza, kadiri ya utamaduni na mapokeo ya Kanisa, Dominika hii misalaba inafunikwa, mpaka Ijumaa kuu wakati wa adhimisha la mateso ya Kristo na sanamu zinafunikwa, mpaka wakati wa maaadhimisho ya vijilia vya Pasaka. Pili, ni adhimisho la takaso la tatu na la mwisho kwa wakatekumeni watakaobatizwa mkesha wa Pasaka.
Kufufuliwa Lazaro ni ishara kwamba tukiunganika na Kristo atatufufua na sisi Wengi tunadhani tunayo afya njema, lakini kiuhalisia tumekufa, tumo kaburini siku 4, tunanuka kama Lazaro. Kifo kimetupiga, tupo chini kabisa, tumekakamaa kama samaki wakavu, shetani ametushika hatutikisiki.
Tazama maisha ya familia yako utaona hakuna uhai, mahusiano ni ya wasiwasi sana, baba na mama hatuaminiani, hatuna mipango ya pamoja, hatujui mshahara unapoingia na unapoisha, ni watu tunaopishana kauli, hakuna mwenye ujasiri wa kusema ‘yaishe’ na kuomba radhi, wote tupo juu, wote tunaongea, unatawala uvumilivu kuliko upendo.. nyumba ya hivi imo kaburini siku 4. Kristo anapoita ‘lazarus, njoo huku nje!’ awaite na wa nyumbani humu ili uwepo tena uhai, ajalie mabadiliko ya ndani ya nafsi, aguse mioyo, ajalie toba ili wakati utakapofika afufuke ndani ya nafsi zilizojiandaa.
Tunapoacha maadili ya kazi kwa kukosa uaminifu, kuiba, kudanganya, kughushi, tunapokuwa wabinafsi, kukosa upendo na kutojali, tunajiweka kaburini na tunanuka. Tunapochelewa Kanisani, likizo za muda wote, kutoshiriki Jumuiya, kutoshiriki Njia ya Msalaba, kuzembea kitubio na kutokukomunika Ekaristi, kusingizia hiki na kile tumekufa sie, tumo kaburini sasa ni siku 4... Tumuombe Mungu, kwa maombezi ya Bikira Maria Msaada wa Wakristo, atuletee Yesu nje ya hayo makaburi yetu kusudi kama alivyoita “LAZARO, NJOO HUKU NJE!” atuambie na sisi “NJOONI HUKU NJE..” tutatoka na sanda zetu kama Lazaro lakini tutakuwa wazima, atatufungua na kuturuhusu twende tukiwa huru.
Tukiwa na tumaini hili, tunapokaribia kuadhimisha fumbo la ukombozi wetu, tumruhusu Yesu aingie na tumpatie nafasi akae ndani mwetu kwa neno lake, na sakramenti zake, tujenge urafiki naye katika taabu na raha. Tuthamini maisha yetu na ya wengine, tuone uchungu pale tunapoona mwenzetu ananyimwa haki ya kuishi kwa namna yoyote ile na kumtetea. Tutumie vema muda uliobaki kabla ya Pasaka tumlilie Mungu kwa huzuni kuu, tuone uchungu wa dhambi zetu, atutakase na uovu wetu, ili tuweze kuisherehekea Pasaka kwa moyo safi.
Tunapokaribia Pasaka, Kanisa linatualika tuishi Kwaresma hii kwa matumaini. Yesu hakuepuka kaburi; aliingia humo ili kutufungulia njia ya uzima. Tukiungana naye, kama Mt. Fransisko wa Assisi, basi hata katika dunia iliyojaa mauti, tutakuwa mashahidi wa ufufuko na uzima. Amina🙏
Since Lent began, my timeline has been filled with Catholic content and it’s honestly beautiful to see. I just hope we keep this same energy after Lent.
As we begin our journey through #Lent, let us ask the Lord to grant us the gift of true conversion of heart, so that we may better respond to His love for us and share that love with those around us.
I encourage you to join my World Prayer Network, which unites diverse cultures, languages, and charisms in the common mission. I especially invite young people to take part, so that they may form the next generation of intercessors for the needs of the whole world. https://t.co/VVI6MfQLWx
We are all lives on a journey, to whom God continues to inspire His dreams through prophets of yesterday and of today, to free humanity from ancient and new forms of slavery, involving young and old, poor and rich, men and women, saints and sinners in the works of His mercy and in the wonders of His justice. The Lord makes no noise, yet His Kingdom sprouts and grows in every corner of the world.
By contemplating the person of Christ, let us learn to love and act as He shows us, so that we may better serve our brothers and sisters and help them see in us a reflection of the face of God. #GeneralAudience
Today begins the Week of Prayer for #ChristianUnity. I therefore invite all Catholic communities to strengthen prayer for the full visible unity of all Christians. Our commitment to unity must be consistently accompanied by commitment to peace and justice in the world.
Let us not waste our time and energies chasing after appearances. Rather, let us learn from John the Baptist to remain vigilant, to love simplicity, to be sincere in our words, to live soberly, and to cultivate a depth of mind and heart. #GospelOfToday (Jn 1:29-34)
