This wicked generation....

Recently, there have been quite alot of kidnappings, robberies , rapes and murders in Kampala. The police still havent been able to get the people responsible and people are in a state of disbelief and fear! When did Uganda become so unsafe?


Honestly everywhere around the world, terrible things are happening and seem to be on the rise. Its not just here and the motive for these terrible crimes seems to be money or sometimes a vendetta. History has proved countless times that an eye for an eye never bring justice, it only perpetuates the cycle of violence!

We are truly a wicked generation! We who think, are enlightened and advanced due to technology have degraded ourselves to the point of being worse than animals! How can we say we are enlightened when we treat human life with such disregard? In my opinion, abortion is one of the worst things to happen and have been accepted and its truly horrific. If we can murder innocent babes in their mothers wombs, then we no longer have any respect for human life at all!

We have instead placed value on things which can be replaced in favour of life which is sacred and irreplaceable! Woe to this wicked generation for we shall not escape God's wrath!
Lord have mercy on your children for we have sinned gravely and only you can save us! Amen.

Prisoner of love

Image
It is a beautiful thing to be in love but also a painful thing! So many misunderstandings can hurt you and sometimes it seems like you love someone more than they love you and it hurts grievously. However there is only one who understands and who chose to be a "prisoner of love" and that is Jesus Christ! We, Roman Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. At the moment of consecration by the priest, the host becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that he never ever wants to be far from us, so before he died he instituted the Eucharist at the last supper.  I cannot even describe how much this love humbles me and makes me realize my own poor efforts at "love". His love is so beautiful and pure and it is truly everything a person could ever want or hope for! How many insults have we given him? How many times have we not visited him in the blessed sacrament and yet he is always there waiting for us!

Life is meant to be lived not understood

My mother said that to me in a conversation we had last week. It got me thinking about life and how we always look for explanations to life's mysteries and problems. But the truth is sometimes in life , there is no answer! I was watching one of the TV shows i love, (yes i love watching TV shows) and the dad was saying to his child that "one day you are going to grow up and realize that you don't have all the answers". Children usually have an innocence that reasons that there is an answer for everything but us we grow up we realize that life is not black and white. Life is complicated and sometimes there is no explanation. There are so many things that happen in life and we ask ourselves why? Why are some people born with horrible disabilities? why are some people insane? why do some parents abandon their children?  Why do some people die so young? why cant everybody find love? There are just so many things we cannot understand and not matter how desperate

The message of Kibeho....Ndi Nyina wa jambo!

Image
Last week i mentioned that i would be going on pilgrimage. I was in a little village in Rwanda called Kibeho. It is a remote place towards the border with Burundi on top of rather steep hills. For those who have not heard about Kibeho, it is the site of the appartions of the blessed virgin Mary since the early 80's. It is also now associated with the divine mercy devotion as well! To summarise a beautiful message, Our mother calls us to repent and have a true conversion of heart. There is so much hatred, selfishness and bitterness in this world. Too much of a spirit of unforgiveness! When she first appeared she showed them the visions of what would come to pass if people did not convert. (the genocide). Our mother truly loves us and does not want to see our destruction. Unfoirtunatley human beings are stubborn and what she had foretold did indeed come to pass. In 1994, the horror of the genocide became a reality and the river run red with the blood of slaughtered people, headl
