‘LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, IN TRUTH AND FAITH…’ ̶ MOST REV. HILARY PAUL ODILI OKEKE’S SUNDAY HOMILY DURING HIS PASTORAL VISIT TO ST. CHARLES PARISH, NNEWI AS HE INSTRUCTS ON SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MARRIAGE.
Oct 09, 2018
The Bishop’s homily captured the very importance of imbibing in our lives a childlike attitude. This life he says is a life of truth and uprightness; a life that takes things as they appear without painting words and allowing for compromise.
This is the very attitude we should employ in the phenomenon of marriage as was also read in the gospel of today. This attitude is what strengthens marital love and makes it even more a childlike venture. The mystery of marriage is wha ...

‘CHRIST, CROSS AND CROWN’- Most Rev. Dr. Hilary Paul Odili Okeke’s Sunday Homily for his Pastoral Visit at St. Lawrence Parish Osumenyi, as he confers on eighty seven candidates the sacrament of confirmation.
Sep 17, 2018
The Bishop emphasizes these three basic Christian values in his homily as he made reference to the gospel reading of today. The gospel he said captures the dramatic scene where Jesus poses the question of ‘who do people say that I am’ to his apostles. After much random responses, Peter’s reply as he was directly asked was ‘You are the Messiah’. Christ at this juncture never wanted Peter to let anyone know about his answer. When Christ did miracles as well, he als ...

IS ‘BACK TO SENDER’ AN ACCEPTABLE PRAYER PATTERN? Rev Fr. Martin Onwudiwe
Aug 24, 2017
It has been the natural tendency of man to reject bad omen and any ill-fated occurrence directed towards him and his relations. Almost in every corner of our society, wherever people quarrel over any issue, ‘back to sender’ has always been a reoccurring phrase between the disputing parties. Yet, beyond disputing parties, every nook and cranny of our land is clustered with prayer houses, ministries and ministration homes, adoration centres and vigil centres. In these centres, one o ...

ST PETER: BETWEEN INSPIRATION AND AUTHORITY
INTRODUCTION
The first reading of today tells us, “I place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; should he open, no one shall close, should he close, no one shall open” (Isa. 22:22 ). In the Gospel, Jesus gives the ‘Key’ to Peter, thereby building the Church on him ‘the Rock’ (in spite of his human failings). Similarly, the second reading reveals to us that the reason for Je ...

IT IS BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN RUST OUT !!!

Besides, she was very generous to Elisha whom she realised to be “a holy man of God”. This kindness brought her blessings. In the second reading, St Paul made it known that we are all baptized into the paschal mystery of Christ: the passion, the death, ...

PANIC IN THE LAND: BE NOT AFRAID!
For quite a long time, there has been fear in our country politically, socially, and economically. Recently, the fear has metamorphosed into panic station after the successful sit-at-home exercise. We are gripped with the eviction threats from the north and session threats from various quarters within the country. The federal government preaches or claims to preach “united we stand” while the masses cry “divided we move.” In th ...
