LENTEN SUNDAY BANQUET: Is. 50:4-7, Phil. 2:6-11, Mk 14:1-15,47. Palm Sunday is a unique Sunday in Lent as it marks the beginning of the Holy Week and the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ. Palm Sunday celebrates the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem the royal city. The first reading from Isaiah presents us with the song of the suffering servant of Yahweh. St. Paul in the second reading also reminds us that: “His state was divine, yet Christ did not cling to his equality with God... ” Humbly, the servant of God accepted all his maltreatments in order to save us. He presented and lost his life in order to win us our lives. From Christ, we learn that we need much patience and humility to survive and succeed in life. That suffering is part of life rather than a curse. However, only those who are ready to persist and endure to the end will triumph. Also, it teaches us that if we persist in our faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ, they will help us carry out all that we need to do without losing our faith. At this celebration we make used of Palm as a sign of royalty of Christ and His peaceful reign; and donkey as a symbol of the humility of Christ the king as our first and second readings presented Him. Though He is King yet, He chose to ride on the lowliest and weakest of animals, the donkey. By this act, Christ not only demonstrates His humility, but also demonstrates His solidarity with the poor and the weak and ask us to do the same. Today, we express our solidarity with Christ as He begins His most difficult journey that will ultimately bring us salvation. As we sing hosanna today, may the Lord grant us the grace to remain faithful to Him till the end! Amen!! Good morning and Happy Palm Sunday!!!

Naija and their usual way of rigging election... Bribing is the order of the day during voting... for me, I don't blame the corpers cos most of them will collect the bribe out of fear... when the police that is supposed to protect you is bribed... wat else do u expect.

If you want to create a "charity under ssvp," it means you want to create a charity under a charity.

Then why not simply create an online presence for ssvp national council?

Would you like to do that?

more like creating an online conference that will work with other conference...

@italo... For me, why I think its best we have the online charity under ssvp is cos of flexibility... I believe once started, we might be faced with cases where non of the online members are leaving close to... In this case, getting the contact of the closest conference to the location to help out with investigation won't be a problem since they already knw of our existence. More so, a case that we can't treat or handle due to finance or logistics can easily be handed over to a conference capable of handling such case. We can give it a trial as am sure contacting the national body won't be a problem.

LENTEN MENU: Jer. 20:10-13, Jn 10:31-42. The encounter between Jesus and the Jews takes place at the Jewish feast of Dedication. Jesus proclaims that He is the One who has truly been consecrated by God. The Jews strongly object to Jesus' claim that He is the Son of God. Using the rabbinical practice of citing supporting scriptural passage, Jesus says that the judges of old were called "gods" and "the sons of the Most High" (Ps 82:6) for being the vehicles of the word of God. Jesus has a greater right to the title, "Son of God", because the Father Himself sends Him to bring us the message of salvation. We who have been made adoptive sons of God, has equal right of God's sons. Jesus who is consecrated by the Holy Spirit is indeed the Holy One of God. When Jesus made this claim, the Jews were ready to stone Him, but Jesus reminded them of His many good works. If it is difficult to believe that He is the Son of God only on His word; then it should be easier to believe in Him on the evidence of the works He has accomplished. Because their minds were closed to the truth, Jesus escaped to the side of Jordan where people believed in Him. Today, we are called to open our hearts and minds to Jesus' words and act accordingly. May the spoken words of our mouth and the mediation of our hearts win favour in God's sight! Amen!! Good morning and have a wonderful day!!!

THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD: Ish 7:10-14.8:10, Hebr. 10:4-10, Lk. 1:26-38. Today, the Church celebrates the mystery of the Incarnation and, at the same time, the vocation of Our Lady. It was her faithful response to the angel's message, that began the work of Redemption. This is the most wonderful news: God with us! God spontaneously promises the birth of a child who, on account of His name Emmanuel and on account of the manner in which He is promised, will be like a living sign of the saving presence of Yahweh amidst His people. This Emmanuel prophecy is being fulfilled in the annunciation to Mary concerning, the birth of the saviour. The Messiah, His person and His mission stand at the centre of today's Gospel. The divinity of the Messiah is clearly affirmed: He is the Son of the Most High. The power of the Most High, the saving presence of Yahweh, was to overshadow Mary. The angel Gabriel said to her, "The Lord is with you", that is, with Mary at the first instance, and then, through her, with the entire human race. Every time we recite the angelic salutation, we recall with joy and gratitude the mystery of the Incarnation, and welcome God's plan of being with us for our redemption. Like Mary, we are called to be ready to respond to God's plan without delay. We are invited to always and everywhere submit ourselves to His divine will. May the Lord shape us in the likeness of His divine nature and grant us His mercy! Amen!! Good morning and have a pleasant day!!!

LENTEN ENERGISER: Num. 21:4-9, Jn 8:21-30. Today's first reading narrates how Israelites began to murmur against God and Moses. Although they had been set free and brought out of Egypt, they were tired of travelling towards the promised land. As a punishment, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people. Then the people turn to Moses, acknowledging their sin, and Moses interceded with God. The Lord said to Him, make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when He sees it, shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, He would look at the bronze serpent and live. This historical narrative is the type and image of what was to take place later with the coming of the Son of God. In His intimate conversion with Nicodemus Our Lord makes a direct reference to this narratives: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be..." Before the unbelieving Jews, Jesus reveals Himself as the sign of healing and God of Salvation. When He is lifted up on the Cross and rises again after death many will believe in Him. As in the desert anyone who looked at the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses was saved (Num. 21:, so anyone who looks with faith, hope and love at Jesus lifted upon the Cross will be saved. We must seek the remedy and the antidote. Just as the Israelites bitten by the serpents did, we must look to the Lord hang upon the Cross for healing. The serpent (evil) and its poison (selfishness, sensuality, doctrinal errors and confusion) are still all around us. Let us turn our gaze on Jesus and remain focus, for our salvation. May the Lord never withdraw His grace from us, so that by it alone we can give ourselves wholly to God's service and obtain His help in our every need! Amen!! Peace be with you!!!
