This is so, because priests are always with the Christians, especially during the dificult moments in our life. They support the Christians spiritually whenever they need their help.

He also told the priests to keep the “following” in mind, in their day to day apostolates; prayer, obedience, service, availability to our Christians.
Bishop also said that the priests are a gift and they are anointed by the Holy Spirit thus they are anointed to anoint the people God.

“You are a priest for ever, a priest of the order of Melchizedek of old.”

Let us all pray for and support our priests, be at parish level, deneary level or Diocese level, as they are choosen and given as a gift to serve the people of God.

Yesterday during the celebration of Palm Sunday, several Christian Communities came together to celebrate it. The celebrations were done in style in the different missions run by the Missionary Community of St. Paul the Apostle. There were processions with palm branches and the singing and proclamation of Hossana was echoed all over the communities. After the celebrations, many children and adults made crosses out of the twigs and palms they were carrying and went home in a festive mood. Happy Palm Sunday to all!

Many of those people live in Africa and they have to walk kilometres in search of this precious commodity. According to the World Health Organisation, 3 out of 10 people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water near their homes.

Today as we celebrate the World Water Day we would like to thank all our benefactors who have made it possible for the Missionary Community of St Paul to have drilled more than 300 boreholes and built more than 200 dams in Turkana, Ethiopia, Malawi and South Sudan for more than 30 years now.

Water is an essential necessity for life. It is not only used to quench thirst or protect health; water is vital for creating jobs and supporting economic, social, and human development.

Let us use this scarce resource wisely and sustainably and support all the communities who do not have access to it, acquire clean and drinkable water for their families and their livestock.
