Compassionate killing!

Some time back i read an article about certain doctors who "helped" their patients by killing them in order to end their suffering. I will not sugar coat it! They murdered their patients because apparently , they were in too much pain to go on living. I can imagine some people have excruciating pain every single day and honestly they get depressed and do not want to keep fighting through the hurt.  They need our support as a society and as a family!



I also read about an old lady who asked the doctors to end her life because she didn't want to go through the challenges of life in her "golden years." Can you believe that? I was stunned and honestly i could not believe that this is the world we live in today! Honestly we are all to blame and we should be ashamed of ourselves. We have ignored the old people and they are now confined to homes waiting for family and friends to visit them but we never do! We have accepted all kinds of moral evils and do not even blink when things like this happen!



Killing someone to end their suffering is unconscionable. What is next? Sometimes people are depressed but is it ok to kill them just because we cant bear to see them sad? That's just ridiculous and we need to fight to end this so called "mercy" killing. We are turning into a society of killers by accepting both abortion and euthanasia. May God help us!

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

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!

Naming children

Image
Before you give a child a name you need to think carefully about the name you are giving your child. In the "old times" children were given names with meaning. Sometimes children were named according to the situation or season at the time of their birth. In Africa sometimes children were named names meaning "hunger" or "suffering" according to the situations at the time of their birth. Personally, i dislike such names because i believe names can have an impact on the child's life. Its one of the reasons why children sometimes change their names when they grow up and get to know the meaning of their names. My first name is a Hebrew name meaning "abundance" or "excellence" and my last name is in my local language meaning "they are wise". My last name is quite long but when i grew up and got to know the meaning of it, i loved it! Both my names carry significant meaning and i believe it is a blessing on my life from God
