DAY 4 PRAYER OF CHRISTIAN UNITY. THURSDAY 21st Jan 2021


DAY 4 PRAYER OF CHRISTIAN UNITY. 21st January 2021.

Praying together: “I do not call you servants any longer... but I have called you friends” (John 15:15)
Scripture

Romans 8:26-27, The Spirit helps us in our weakness
Luke 11:1-4, Lord, teach us to pray
Meditation

God thirsts for a relationship with us. God searches for us as God searched for Adam, calling him in the garden: “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9)

In Christ, God came to meet us. Jesus lived in prayer, intimately united to his Father, while creating friendships with his disciples and all those he met. He introduced them to that which was most precious to him: the relationship of love with his Father, who is our Father. Jesus and his disciples sang psalms together, rooted in the richness of their Jewish tradition. At other times, Jesus retired to pray alone.

Prayer can be solitary or shared with others. It can express wonder, complaint, intercession, thanksgiving or simple silence. Sometimes the desire to pray is there, but one has the feeling of not being able to do so. Turning to Jesus and saying to him, “teach me,” can pave the way. Our desire itself is already prayer.

Getting together in a group offers us support. Through hymns, words and silence, communion is created. If we pray with Christians of other traditions, we may be surprised to feel united by a bond of friend- ship that comes from the One who is beyond all division. The forms may vary, but it is the same Spirit that brings us together.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, your entire life was prayer, perfect harmony with the Father. Through your Spirit, teach us to pray according to your will of love. May the faithful of the whole world unite in intercession and praise, and may your kingdom of love come. Amen.

NO CHILD HAS FAILED ...

"...OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT FAILURES..." After the KCPE results were announced yesterday (28th March 2022) by the Education CS, many parents, teachers and pupils are seen celebrating because of the "good grades"... However, there's that band of innocent girls and boys who got less than the "expected marks". They have no one to celebrate them, they are in "trauma", some lack the sense of belonging... Very. Rev. Fr. Thomas Nyutu , the Rector , St. Joseph Seminary Molo , has given his mind to the public for the suffering girls and boys in the community today. Fr. Thomas Nyutu is a Priest in the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru- Kenya. He holds MA in Linguistics from The University of Nairobi-Kenya. Dear Parents/guardians... Kindly allow me to beg your indulgence on a pertinent issue: KCPE results are already out while KCSE follows shortly later. Please, let us purpose to be the voice of the downtrodden.  For quite some time the whole society
