SUNDAY COMMENTARIES - MARCH

4^th Sunday in Lent:

1 Sam 16.1, 6, 7, 10-13; Eph 5.8-14; John 9.2-41.

Many are the times when people have judged God’s ability in terms of their own limitation. We are reminded that “God does not see as man sees; man looks at appearance but the lord looks at heart.” These were hard words that Samuel received when he went to anoint one of Jesse’s sons to become king. There were two challenges: Saul was already the king of Israel yet God sends Samuel to anoint another king, and secondly, God chooses the youngest son of Jesse. David was God’s chosen instrument. In the Gospel, Jesus brings light to the Jews. The cause of blindness was neither the blind man’s sin nor his parents’. This story is not only about receiving physical sight but also spiritual: First, the healed man begins by seeing Jesus as just a man (v. 11).

He progresses until he sees Jesus as a prophet (v. 17). finally he sees Jesus as the Son of Man, the one who must be believed and worshiped (v.38). Physical sight without spiritual sight (faith) is still inadequate. We sometimes act according to our own understanding and not according to the voice of the Lord. As Paul exhorts the Ephesians to live in the light, we are also challenged to act no longer according to our mindsets but according to God’s will.

5^th Sunday in Lent:

Ez 37.12-14; Rom 8.8-11, John 11.1-45

In the Apostle’s creed, we profess the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting. This belief distinguishes us from other religions. In the account of Jesus raising Lazarus, there are some elements which we learn about the resurrection. The Pharisees believed in the resurrection and this is why Martha has some idea that Lazarus will rise in the last day. It is at this confession that Jesus tells her that he is the resurrection. This must have been a new teaching to Martha and those who were there. Martha trusted in Jesus not only as a family friend but also as the Lord.

As Christians, we look forward for the resurrection of our mortal bodies. One challenge lies ahead of us, to overcome the desires of the flesh. Saint Paul reminds the Romans that it is only those who live in the Spirit who will be raised. The Lord has put his Spirit in us; if we belief in the three persons in One God, then we are sure that God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit live in us. As we wait to celebrate the feast of resurrection, let us purify our hearts so that when the Lord comes we may meet Him and live with Him forever.

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion:

Isaiah 50.4-7; Phil 2.6-11; Matt 26.14-27.66

This Sunday marks the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The Jews welcomed Jesus as their King, only to condemn him in a short while. The prophet describes the buffets and insults given to the Suffering Servant. This description fits Jesus. Saint Paul calls the Philippians to rejoice because Christ became man, died on the cross, rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father. This was Christ’s act of humility. Matthew recounts the treachery and betrayal of Judas and then describes the events of the Last Supper, culminating in the institution of the Eucharist. Jesus endures the Agony in the Garden; he is then brought before Caiaphas and Pilate and condemned to death.

After His death, the centurions shouted, “Surely this was the Son of God!” As we reflect on this Gospel, let us place ourselves in the event and think of which part we could have taken. We have sometimes in our actions and words betrayed Christ, denied Him, departed from Him, and compromised the gospel truths for our own selfish ends. The Lord calls us to repent. For the times when we have been with Christ, helped our brothers in need, proclaimed him in at a risk of loosing friends, we thank God.

Easter Sunday:

Acts 10.34-37.43; Col 3.1-4; John 20.1-9

The feast of the Resurrection is the greatest in the Liturgical year. It does not mark a day but a composite of days. Its preparation and the feasts that follow take a good part of the liturgical calendar. The feasts associated with it give a direction to our Christian life.

In fact, based on the testimonies of "over five hundreds" [1 Cor. 15:5-8] believers who have witnessed the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, it cannot be denied that "the Lord has risen indeed." In vivid detail, John tells us that when Mary Magdalene visited Christ’s tomb, the tomb was empty. She told the apostles, who ran to the tomb, and saw the “wrappings” on the ground. The disciple who entered first “saw and believed.” When we celebrate this feast, we not only have the joy of Christ’s resurrection, but also we rejoice because human history took a new turn. Death was defeated and it was proved to us that we shall be raised as our master was. We work for our salvation with fortitude because the one who promised to raise us after death is indeed risen. We are renewed in the light of Easter joy.

2^nd Sunday of Easter:

Acts 2.42-47; 1 Pet 1.3-9; John 20.19-31

The forty days between Jesus’ resurrection and his ascension are filled with His apparitions to different groups of his followers. In some of the apparitions, Jesus is not recognized with ease. Although Thomas had lived with Christ and heard all what he said, he did not trust the message given to him by the other Apostles. Jesus challenged Thomas’ disbelief. Christ commissioned His apostles to forgive sins through the Spirit given to them. As we continue reflecting on the risen Lord, we read of the faith and life of the first Christians.

They were characterized by: common life, listening to the teaching of the apostles, sharing their property, praying and taking their meals together. This was a reflection of the eternal joy that awaits those who trust in the Lord. Today some Christians are living contrary to this reality: Divisions, hate, selfishness and rejection of the message of the Lord.

FEAST OF THE MONTH

St. Joseph Husband to the Blessed Virgin Mary

St. Joseph was a simple village carpenter, the husband of Mary and guardian of the Child Jesus. He has become the guardian and patron of Christ’s universal church. Being the foster father of our Lord Jesus Christ and husband to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he is said to have died in the first century. All that is known of him for certain is contained in the gospel (Mt: 1-2, 13:55, Lk: 1-2, 4:22).

He was of Davidic descent, but his trade as a carpenter shows us that he was betrothed to Mary at the time of the virgin birth, His doubt about her conception, the decisions to go to Egypt and return from Egypt were all the objects of a father and husband. By protection he offered to the Holy family and in the care and upbringing of the Jesus Christ. Of great importance to learn from the life of St. Joseph is that God grants/gives his graces to his people according to their call, whenever the divine favour chooses someone to receive a special grace or to accept a lofty vocation, God adorns the person chosen with all the gifts of the spirit needed to fulfill the task at hand.

St. Joseph was chosen by the eternal father as the trustworthy guardian and protector of His greatest treasures, namely his Divine Son, and Mary Joseph’s wife. He carried out his vocation with complete fidelity until at last God called him saying; Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord. In the church, St. Joseph is the chosen one of God and one who is set apart. Because though him Christ was honorably introduced into the world, in him, the Old Testament finds its fitting close.

He brought the noble line of patriarch and prophets to its promised fulfillment, obviously, Christ does not now deny to Joseph that intimacy reverence and very high honour which He gave him on earth, as a son to his father. Rather we must say that in heaven Christ completes and perfects all that he gave at Nazareth.

Now we can see how the last summoning wards of the Lord appropriately apply to St. Joseph, enter into the joy of your Lord. Such words convey not only that this holy Man possesses an inward joy, but also that it surrounds him and engulfs him like an infinite abyss.

St. Joseph is the patron saint of all fathers of families, of bursars and procurators, of Manual workers especially carpenters and of all who desire a holy death. Many churches, hospitals, religious Congregations and Christians are called and dedicated to Joseph – Happy Feast Day.

As we celebrate this feast day, we say: Remember us St. Joseph and plead for us to your foster child. Ask your most Holy bride, the Virgin Mary, to look kindly upon us, since she is the mother of him who with the father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns eternally – Amen.

Reflections

Like St. Joseph, have you taken your vocation serious to realize the will of God and accomplish it?

If we make a close examination of our lives, then, are we worthy to hear the words of Christ “enter into the Kingdom of your father?’

You have been called by God and set apart for a Mission, ask the Lord to know his will, make it yours and ask the strength to accomplish it as St. Joseph.

EASTER GREETINGS

“Jesus said to Thomas: Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

{Jn: 20:29}

Easter is the annual day and season commemorating the resurrection of Christ. It is the oldest and most important movable feast and so its date determines the arrangement of the Christian liturgical calendar/year.

Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or Easter Season, Traditionally, the Easter season lasted for the forty days from Easter day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter season is known as the Easter week or the octave of Easter celebrated as one day. The Easter Sunday.

The Catholic Diocese of Machakos wishes all our Uw’o Readers, Friends and our Benefactors a blessed Easter Season.

May the beauty and promise of this blessed Season be part of your life today, tomorrow and always.

PMC MASS – MACHAKOS DEANERY

The “Magi” saw the star and were filled with delight. It halted over the place where the child was. They went in and did Him homage. Then they gave Him gifts. (Matt: 2:1-12)

This scenario was re-enacted on 5/1/2008, a memorable day for the Sunday school Pontifical Missionary children (PMC) of Machakos Deanery and representatives from other deaneries across the diocese as their ‘star’ halted at the cathedral church grounds. The church was packed to standing capacity with the little ones whom Jesus often fondly kept company with: Let the little children come to me, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs” (Matt: 19:13-14). For some, it was their first time to enter the Cathedral church since they were born.

For others, it was their first time to see their Bishop – Rt. Rev. Martin Kivuva Musonde face to face ever since he became their shepherd! Their excitement was evident on their innocent faces and was no doubt a replica of that of the three wise men who visited baby Jesus! The children were well disciplined and attentive throughout the Mass and celebrations.

Some groups were adorned in the missionary children uniform with Vatican colours of white, Yellow and red (for Martyrs) All the parishes of Machakos deanery were in attendance. Other representatives from across the diocese included Masii, Athi River, Kilungu and Kanzalu deaneries.

The Mass concelebrated by Rev. Fr. Charles Kyallo Mutua (Diocesan Director – Pontifical Missionary Societies – PMS), Rev. Fr. Morris Ngonde (Hospital Chaplain and Rev. Fr. Mutuku Kilungu Parish.

In his homily bishop Martin reminded all that Jesus chose to come into the world as a child. The timing of this Mass was worth noting at a time when Kenya was wracked with post election violence. Many women and children were suffering the plight of displaced families and intolerable suffering. He called on all to assist them first by praying for them, secondly by sharing our goods in form of food, clothing etc, thirdly by saying No to evil.

He encouraged the children to lead evening family prayers “A family that prays together stays together”. Our Mother Mary often appeared to children such as St. Bernadette at Soubiros – Lourdes, Lucia, Francis and Jacinta at Fatima etc. Our ‘gun’ is the Rosary to ‘shoot’ the devil of evil and killings.

He gave the children gifts of rosaries and meditation books on the Rosary and asked them to go home and in their families, start nine day novena of the Holy rosary to pray for peace in Kenya. He urged them to pray for their parents, be responsible and ready to be sent to carry out the duties that God assigns to them. “Be Missionaries” he told them. A good child today will be a good leader tomorrow. He asked the parents to set a good example to the children so that they can say; I want to be like mummy/daddy!

PEACE & RECONCILIATION PRAYER AT KOMA ROCK SHRINE

The Diocesan prayer Day at Koma Rock 2^nd February 2008, attended by a mammoth Christian Congregation from all Parishes, was devoted to peace and reconciliation in the country, devastated by the post elections violence. At the way of the Cross, His Lordship Martin Kivuva Musonde, Bishop of Machakos, traced Christ’s suffering and sacrifice of His life for our salvation, relating the experience to the suffering in the country, fuelled by violence instigated by our own crosses of corruption, tribalism, hatred, in equitability and social decay.

He implored Christians to pray to God to preserve Kenya from disintegration and to make sacrifices for the needy. He commended women for their various services to others, including Religious women and urged them to intensify their good work. Considering the victims of violence1000 dead, 350,000 internally displaced persons and dashed aspirations, he prayed to God, to pour forth hearts of good will, to keep His commandments and for the repose of the souls of those who died, in eternal peace and comfort to the bereaved families. Recalling the triumph of the Risen Christ, he lifted Christians hope that the country will overcome the crisis, through a reconciled new Kenya, and recompense for the lost opportunities and property.

His Grace R.S. Ndingi Mwana a’ Nzeki, Archbishop Emeritus of Nairobi, who celebrated Holy Mass, said Jesus brought repentance and reconciliation so that sins may be forgiven. Torching houses and bearing false witness should stop and leaders dialogue and reconcile, for the country to move forward. Catholic Christians should recite the Rosary, for the Virgin Mary’s intercession, to her son, so that our prayer is heard.

He challenged the press media to champion peace. He called Machakos the Biblical ‘Egypt’, where people have a good new year, inspired by the Diocesan Calendar 2008 caption “Your word Lord is a light to my path” and the intercession of the Virgin Mary of Koma Rock on pilgrimage there every first Saturday of February. He commended women and school children for maintaining peace.

A minute of silence was observed for reconciliation and forgiveness, from corruption, country’s errors, post elections violence, destruction of property, lack of concern for the needy and mistakes of our leaders. Bishop Martin Kivuva of the Catholic Diocese of Machakos gave a general absolution to the faithful, prepared to receive the Holy Eucharist.

The congregation prayed for the Mediation Dialogue to resolve the current crisis and the people of Kenya to take personal responsibilities for justice, not revenge, we ask for forgiveness as Jesus asked his father to forgive those who crucified him. Ours is a Rainbow country of 42 colours. Queen of Koma Rock, pray for us.

Bishop Kivuva thanked all Deaneries for mobilizing Christians for the Diocesan prayer Day, especially the Athi River Deanery led by its Dean, Fr. Daniel Kitila, for organizing the event this year and Kanzalu Deanery for pioneering the event last year. He applauded Archbishop Emeritus Ndingi Mwana a’ Nzeki first Bishop of Machakos 1969 – 1971 for establishing the diocese on a firm foundation, on which his successors, Bishop Emeritus U.J Kioko, 1973 – 2003 and himself from 2003 built to its present growth and stature.

He thanked Fr. Thomas Vadassery of Koma Rock Shrine for creating the shrine and inspiring pilgrimage and devotion to it.

PRIESTLY ORDINATION - Mbiuni Parish

19^th January 2008 remains a remarkable day in the history of the Redemptorist Congregation in Kenya as well as in Machakos Diocese at large and Mbiuni Parish in Particular.

MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU

Nobody today can deny that state of peace in Kenya has been affected. This is because in Kenya, there has been reported cases of rigging of elections after that exercise. There is armed conflicts, under development poverty, corruption, inequitable distribution of resources, political repression murders and the HIV/AIDS pandemic continue to undermine the enjoyment of human rights across the country.

Despite of the peace talks and the international mediation, still we get that many continue to suffer and have been made refugees in their own country. There is marginalization of some communities, murder and oppression. This is much power thirst to control the national resources and for personal gains. There are some of the reasons that are underlying causes for the conflicts in our country Kenya.

Today, the peace process and future stability remain under serious threat. We need to understand that we are members of the same human family and are indissolubly linked with one another in the one dusting of the whole world in the responsibility for which we all share. The enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights such as food, shelter, education and health should not be an illusion to majority of our Kenyan peoples.

For many years, the Kenyan government has been fighting corruption. The widespread of such an evil has shown itself in the election and post election period. It has now contributed to violence, destruction of property; lose of life, oppression, people made refugees in their own country etc. There is marginalization of the most vulnerable sectors of the population including women and children. There are more cases of unlawful killings, torture and other ill-treatment.

We need to show off such politics which destroy peace and causes lose of life and other inhuman behaviours like rapes, and give every person his/her rights. The rule of law must prevail for us to have a just and peaceful society. We can never talk of peace if there is no justice. Let us pray for the peace of our country.
