Christmas time

I wish to send the best wishes for this festival seasons to all of you my dear friends.

It has been a lovely year, full of blessings and challenges at the same time.

home

It is interesting to look at how time has moved so quick since the time I came back to my beloved country. I have witnessed a lot of progress and change but I believe that there is still much work for us to do in order to develop our country Zambia.

hello

I think that for any kind progress to happen in any given society, we need to have leaders with a vision.  The problem we have in many of our countries is that we have leaders who are blind.

thought for the day

I have been reflecting on how much God has blessed each one of us. It is important to count the blessings, we have been wonderfully blessed by God. I look at the blessing and gift of life, of family, of friends and many other blessings.

Blessing

We have been blessed by many things and we should not forget that. Life is a blessing itself.

Commitment!!!

In today's world, it is very hard to find people who are committed and who live up to their committment. For the past few weeks I have been looking at my own live and reading my own life. I reflected and prayed and finally I trusted in God. on May 1, 2012, I decided to commit my entire life to living for others as an Oblate.

 I think what helps me live my decision is to know that God who loves me is faithful. It is important in life to grow into trusting oneself.

I once read this prayer, "Lord give me the grace to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change what I can change and the wisdom to know the difference."

Mothers

I was just thinking how blessed  we are as children who have experienced the love of a mother.  I remember when I was a child how much my mum sacrificed for me, how much love she showed me. I think we can never say enough how much we appreciate the gift of our mothers.

I treasure the gift of mothers in our lives. I pray for them, those who are living and even those who have past on to the next world.

peace in the world

It is sad to see how Christians are not united, how religion has become a means to division.  I believe that Christ wanted all His followers to be united.

 We are called to promote unity, justice and peace. However, in this world we have some many people who are working day and night to destroy peace. I wonder if Justice is only for the rich as one sophist once asked or equally it is for the poor too?

We should not get tired of believing that together we can build a world where Peace will be enjoyed by everyone. Peace is not just the absence of war, there can not be peace without Justice.

For a christian who truly has met Jesus Christ, such a person will and must live and relate to others as Jesus calls us to. We have to love others as Christ has loved us.

my Idea!!!

With the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, we see the coming together of the Human and Divine. It is important to know that only the Christian God in the history of religion came to live among His own. Human life is sacred as it is a gift from God. A wise person keeps reminding me in hard moments, "Lazarous smile because life is beautiful". Indeed we are called to transform this world, to be that sign of hope to those who have lost hope.

Thought of the day!!!

·         In this world, we are facing the challenge in which many of the fundamental things are falling apart. It is hard to see people having the sense of making choices which are definite, which last for life time.

·         There is a call to know to know oneself as one really is. Socrates once said, “know thyself”.

·         God knows us as we really are.

·         "There is nothing terrible and scare as truth" Fr. Marino, OMI.

Today it is hard to have points of reference, to have great role models, we are living in a world in which everything seems permissible. It calls for a real personal identity.

Zambia Chamipons of Africa, 2012!

I remember sitting in the room, watching the finals. What a day it was. I learnt one thing from this Africa Cup of Nation, that with dedication, trust and hardworking, one can achieve one's goal.  To God be the Glory and thanks be to my beloved country Zambia. Today mark's one month since we won the AFCON 2012.
