There's something I love with every catholic parish or worshipping community. Once you begin to sit on a particular pew or seat during a particular mass (let's say 8am mass or evening mass), people will unconsciously, out of respect and consideration, reserve that particular seat for you. And when you do not come for mass, like twice in a row, you'll most probably receive a phone call, and it's parishioner checking on you. Does this also happen in your parish?
This isn't a mob or a group of vigilantes. These are South African police officers. It's one thing to restrain a suspect who has already been subdued. It's another to wrap a cloth around his head to suffocate him while continuing to hit him.
He died, and the response from a South African female minister was that the "foreigner was resisting arrest."
This man was killed inside his own home. We are witnessing the systematic targeting of Nigerians in South Africa.

He grew up in Leeds with money and his dad played professional football in England. Money to him is what water is to fish, he knows how to be himself inside it.
One evening, Padre Pio and several friars went to a concert in a hall right next to their monastery. Pio was fully present, enjoying the music with genuine enthusiasm. During intermission, he suddenly leaned forward, rested his head and arms on the seat in front of him, and stayed completely still and silent for about five minutes. The other friars just assumed he was tired and left him alone.
The next day, Padre Carmelo visited a sick man in town. The man was overflowing with gratitude he said; "Thank you for allowing Padre Pio to come visit me last night!"
Carmelo was stunned. "That’s impossible. I was with him the entire evening at the concert. He never left."
But the man and his whole family insisted Padre Pio had been physically present in their home, praying with them. When Carmelo asked the exact time of the visit… it matched the intermission perfectly - the same five minutes Pio had appeared to be "resting."
Yet for all the miracles, Padre Pio never wanted the spotlight. When a woman he healed once asked him, "Are you a saint?", he simply replied:
"No. I am only a poor creature who serves the Lord through His mercies."
Whenever people thanked him for a healing, he would look almost embarrassed and say:
"Don’t thank me, thank God."
All things are possible through Christ.
St. Padre Pio, pray for us.
As someone who enjoys chatting with polygamists and asking how they started. I’d advice; try to bridge the gap between what you can do, and what your partner needs. In truth, they may never complain, but, if devil ever feels the need to visit your union, na that gap him go occupy
When I saw that video where he says his brother feels like his son, I was like wow that’s a weird thing for a kid to say about another kid. And then I found out how old his parents are. 😂😂😂😂Normal really is a spectrum.
One of the greatest miracles as this crippled Muslim guy stood up and walked after receiving his miracle 🙏🏾
Jesus Christ is THE same yesterday today and forever 🙏🏾✝️
