modestdude: Thanks Babestell, I have been a silent follower of this thread, always hitting the like button. Its cool to feel belonged now.

Syncan I know as an active member here, would be nice to e-meet him so we can arrange mass and confessions here.

I have two workstation parishes (Ado Ekiti and Benin) and home parish in Owerri. My parish in Ado is Blessed Michael Iwene Tansi Igbo Catholic Chaplaincy, while that of Benin is St Fidelis Catholic Parish Aduwawa Benin City. Home Parish is St. Paul's Catholic Parish Owerri

Only one person all these parishes. Smh. And yet he left the seminary o
Let your P in C,Syncan come first, let me find out how many parishes he belongs to

wonda26: Aww! My bad! Apologies. I like the name tho' Any story behind it?

Lol. D name is Kamsy(Kamsiyochukwu) meaning 'the way I asked of The Lord'

Francistony is the one that Kamsified the name one day like that and I liked the Kamsified version, hence I ported to it after the nairaland Tsunami

FT ngwanu tell him how u came up with Kamsified

titoetal: Happy Sunday and new week to you all, my beloved brethren in the faith. My prayer for us all this week and always is Matt.5:13-14. Let our lights continue to shine forth and illuminate our environments. Let our lives/actions be the scriptures that others will read and lead souls to Christ.
May His grace strengthen us on this Pilgrimage of life - Amen.

modestdude: Permit me sir, to add another prayer to St Vincent de Paul.

O glorious st. Vincent, heavenly patron of all charitable associations, and father of all the unfortunate who in your lifetime did not reject anyone who had recourse to you, see by how many evils we are oppressed. Obtain from our Lord help for the poor, solace for the sick, consolation for the afflicted, protection for the abandoned, charity for the rich, conversion for sinners, zeal for priests, peace for the church, tranquility among nations and salvation for all. May all feel the effects of your merciful intercession, that sustained by you in the miseries of this life, we may be able to join you above, where there will be no more strife, lamentation or sorrow, but joy, exaltation and beatitude for ever. Amen

St. Vincent de Paul....Pray for us

A big AMEN I say

SalC: Lol My Lady! I greet you, happy sunday, how have you been? Missed youu lots

Missed you more. How are you feeling? Hope you're fit now.

Rich4god: Day 3
Reflection taken from Mark 3:1-6. You can also read Luke 13:10-17.
.

3 Again he entered the synagogue, and a
man was there who had a withered hand. 2
They watched him to see whether he would
cure him on the sabbath, so that they might
accuse him.3 And he said to the man who
had the withered hand, “Come forward.” 4
Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do
good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save
life or to kill?” But they were silent.5 He
looked around at them with anger; he was
grieved at their hardness of heart and said
to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He
stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6 The Pharisees went out and immediately
conspired with the Herodians against him,
how to destroy him..
.
In this passage, we see clearly that the pharisees were against Christ healing on the sabbath day. Today, so many of us are like that. We neglect one of the important commandment of God just so as to fulfill the law which we feel is more important. Most times, we might have encountered a situation where people need our help, but because we are on our way to mass, fellowship or one group meeting or the other, we neglected them, even when we know that we could be of help. Also, we might have neighbour/friends who are in need financially but we prefer to go to church and make a huge donation/pay tithe/ do all the offering than giving them something. At the end, we say its cos we dont have money, not knowing that God might have kept us close to them for a reason. We are not saying you shouldnt pay tithe/offering/donation. But in the eyes of God, material sacrifice to your fellow man is far better than material sacrifice to him. The thing He wants from you is spiritual sacrifice. Remember the two greatest commandment, Love of God and Love of neighbour. How then can you show love to your neighbour if not by helping him the best way you can even if it means breaking the common laws that people tend to attach importance to, which ofcourse doesnt mean you have to sin. Remember the scenerios where the pharisees accused Christ's disciples of not keeping to the laws of the land/sabbath... On one occassion was when the disciples were picking corn from the field on a day they were supposed to fast, another was when the disciples ate without washing hands according to custom. We all know the reply that Christ gave the pharisees. Or is it in the old testament when David and his men went into the temple to eat the food made for the priest. All these examples are trying to show us that even though the laws are there, it shouldnt keep us from showing love to our fellow man. In today's passage, Christ healed the man with a cripple hand, despite protest from the pharisees to show to them that love of neighbour is all that we need and that covers alot of things.
.
We pray that God will give us the grace to help our neighbours anytime the opportunity comes up... For its in giving that we recieve...

Good morning bro. Where u hide since?And where is the bread?

Welcome back dearie

Good morning everyone and have a wonderful day ahead.

@Rich4god thanks for sharing bro. The link you provided on life of St Vincent de Paul is very interesting. I never knew much about the saint. I just knew he had a kind heart towards the needy but no details whatsoever
Though I'm not as rich as Oprah yet but I realized that I'm not doing enough for the needy based on my current (though little)capacity

I have a question to ask you on charity (based on your teachings) but I'll wait till the novena is over before I ask. Thanks again dearest

*Continues following*

Rich4god: Today's reflection/meditation
Deutronomy 15:7-11...

7 If there is among you anyone in need, a
member of your community in any of your
towns within the land that the Lord your
God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or
tight-fisted toward your needy neighbor.8
You should rather open your hand, willingly
lending enough to meet the need, whatever
it may be.9 Be careful that you do not
entertain a mean thought, thinking, “The
seventh year, the year of remission, is near,”
and therefore view your needy neighbor
with hostility and give nothing; your
neighbor might cry to the Lord against you,
and you would incur guilt.10 Give liberally
and be ungrudging when you do so, for on
this account the Lord your God will bless you
in all your work and in all that you
undertake.11 Since there will never cease to
be some in need on the earth, I therefore
command you, “Open your hand to the poor
and needy neighbor in your land.”
.
.
How do you see your neighbours in need... Do you see them as some lazy folks who cant work to provide their need, as pest who prefer collecting from others than work for their own need or do you see them as the falling side of a weighing balance/beam in which you have to step on the other side to keep the balance straight and equal. Take a look at verse 11... God the Father said that " there will always be someone in need here on earth" in other words, no matter how hard some people might try, things might not go the way they want it, making them to rely on some people for help... Which is where you and I comes in... Reading further, God said "I therefore comman you to open you hand for the poor and the needy in your neighbourhood"... Did you get the point here... God said its a command which He is directly giving us. So it will be wise if we heed to that command very well. Now, verse 9 said that we shouldnt hold grudges against the poor in any way or make gist of them, cos when their cries gets to heaven.... We know the rest....
Prayer... We pray that God the Father will give us the grace not to overlook the poor ones among us and also give us the resource we require in helping the needy...

Remain blessed, for its in giving that we recieve...

This is very inspiring bro. Remain blessed too

Rich4god: In view of the upcoming feast of St Vincent de Paul, members of the society of St Vincent the Paul, the Vincentian families and the entire catholic families that are devoted to the saint world wide begins today, the novena to St Vincent the Paul, which will run through to the 27th of this month, the feast day. So, as a member of the society of st vincent de paul, I will try my best to through more light on the need for charity which is the virtue the saint is being known for.
