Discussions for Day 1

Talk from St Vincent De Paul

Christ in us

You shouldn’t assess anybody especially the poor once among us according to appearance or mental capacity, because very often, people scarcely show the appearance or capacity of rational beings. But, turn the medal over and by the light of faith you will see that the Son of God, who chose to be poor, is represented by these poor people… It’s great to see the poor if we view them in God and with the value Jesus Christ put on them. But if we look at them with natural feelings and from material point of view, they will seem contemptible.

Point of reflection

How do we see the needy around us?

Novena Prayer

O God you were patient with St. Vincent de Paul as you moved him from
self-centeredness to be centered on you. Help me through his intercession
to grant me this petition and to know that you will grant what I desire in
your own time (your intention here) . I thank you God for everything and I
will imitate St. Vincent de Paul in growing in holiness through prayer,
participation in the sacraments and service to my neighbor especially the
poor.
Amen.

SECOND DAY

Reflection on the life of St. Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent encouraged people to grow in all the virtues but
especially that of simplicity, humility, gentleness, mortification (selfdenial),
and zeal for souls (love for others).

Reflection questions for your own life

Have I taken time to know what virtues are and to grow in them?
Can I take time to learn about the five virtues that were so important
to this great saint?


Pray the Novena prayer, an Our Father followed by one Hail Mary
to honor the Incarnation and one Glory Be to honor the Blessed
Trinity.

Talk from St Vincent De Paul

Helping the poor

God has promised an eternal reward to those who would give a glass of water to a poor person. Nothing is truer than that… we can’t doubt it. And that gives us a great basis for trust. For if God gives a happy eternity to people who have given merely a glass of water to them, what will he not give to those who always have the zeal to help the poor, what will he not give to those who have sacrificed their resources in other to help the needy…. It’s beyond all imagining… We can be confident that we will be among those to whom he will say, “Come, blessed of my father, receive the kingdom prepared for you. (Mat 25:34)
Point of reflection
Do not be among those that will ask, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and refuse to give you food…

Novena Prayer

O God you were patient with St. Vincent de Paul as you moved him from
self-centeredness to be centered on you. Help me through his intercession
to grant me this petition and to know that you will grant what I desire in
your own time (your intention here) . I thank you God for everything and I
will imitate St. Vincent de Paul in growing in holiness through prayer,
participation in the sacraments and service to my neighbor especially the
poor.
Amen.

FIRST DAY (Conversion)

Reflection on the life of St. Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent de Paul became a priest to better his social position and
even tricked a bishop to ordain him at the age of 19. He showed us that
no one is born a saint. We are all sinners on a journey to sainthood.
Reflection questions for your own life
What are the areas in my life that need to be purified and allow the light
of God to touch it? This can happen only with God’s graces. In what
ways do I call on God in my daily life for conversion? Do I see myself on
a path to conversion as a convert?


Pray the Novena prayer, an Our Father followed by one Hail Mary to
honor the Incarnation and one Glory Be to honor the Blessed Trinity.

Today we begin the Novena to St Vincent De Paul... The patron saint of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul...

A little intro about the society.

The St Vincent de Paul Society was founded by a 20 year old student named Frederic Ozanam over 170 years ago. It was established by like minded individuals who wished to put their faith into action. At the heart of the St Vincent de Paul Society is a profound sense of respect for the people we serve and a desire to learn from them. No work of charity is foreign to us. No person is alien to us. The St Vincent de Paul Society is a lay Catholic organisation that aspires to live the gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy, and by working to shape a more just and compassionate society.

Tithe time....

One is good in policy making without action... The other is only active through his body language.

Novena to St Vincent De Paul..... 95% loading.

mrkels:
Bros passport is immediately.


Got my own in less than 5hrs.

Plz, @ wat cost....

Abeg, make una check page 25, part 3, Task and responsibility. I dont really understand what am to fill there.

Can statement of result go for degree cert... Its gonna cost alot going to get my certificate.

Ababadada:
My problem is where can someone write the English.

I thought there is the option of your employer/alumni writing a letter to them, stating thet you were taught in english and frequently use english to communicate at your wrk place.

That second pix... Remind me of the thread where the guy from ajegunle found snake that was dangling down from the ceiling... Something smell fishy here.

TGM2015:
Hi house, happy weekend. For those that had been called, I say congratulations. Due to upcoming Sallah holiday the AC center might come a week after possibly the last days of the month to early days of next month.

This gives you more time to develop yourself as the final selection is a ratio of 1 to 4 (maximum) of all candidates that will be assessed.

Good luck to you all.

No more calls to other candidates...?

Abeg all these people speaking bigi big grammars and dropping text book like comments... Abeg mk no find another thread...

lol..... na dat certificate go pain pass.

jcross19:
I said is kogi name oga

Several families from Nsukka do bear that name.

jcross19:
keep quiet what do you know does that sound like igbo name? And where do you see mosque in enugu ezike? That man is from kogi. That name is from kogi state. Get sense.

Ensure you have your fact right before making noise. Enugu Ezike people bear such name. There are a lot of mosque there even in ibagwa, a neighboring town. Ever had of hausa ibagwa? They are indigenous Muslims in Nsukka part of Enugu State.

zenith4biz:
The supermarket I was working was scammed by two hausa men

Have you been to farm center in kAno before?

No mind the guy... though I hv not heard stories of soap in farm center, but most time people by things that are not working their. That farm center just like a mini computer village.

lol... a tale of a thief stopping another from stealing what he wants to steal...

All this news flying around... Till I get the eye witness account, not believing anything.

Just like that... no details or explanation.... your journalism need to be upgraded.

MariaGoretti:
pardon depends on her husband

How you take copy this ur response from my mind...

SalC:
So hers was a sin of omission and her sin has no pardon in an institution such as marriage?

lol... d pardon here depends on the hubby....

I was once in a wedding mass, during the vow, the lady, instead of calling the man's name, called him "my prince" (I hv forgotten the actual pet name that she used.) One of the officiating priest had to tell her to repeat the vow using the man's name. To some of us, it might not seem like a big deal. But tomorrow, the man may seek for annulment claiming that the lady's vow wasn't made to him as she didn't use his name. I hope you got my point. Such mistake isn't supposed to be made in preparation for marriage.

SalC:
Ah but common sense isn't so common and the fear of losing a potential spouse can contribute to her earlier silence, but I agree with you, she should have told him but I can't really say she lied.

Hope you remember this line... "in what I have done and in what I have failed to do"... They are both counted as sin. In the true sense of it, she didn't. But in an institution such as married, she has erred.

MariaGoretti:
Richie.....been a while!!

How nah??

Btw, I concur with your opinion over there. I go gist you why later on....

My lady... Am pretty much around.... Just a click away from you.

Will be waiting.
