We are being watched!!!!!

The Homily of Fr. Albin Tesha (A.J.) in The Inaugural Mass of the Vice-Provincial Chapter

Fr. Albin Tesha represented the Archbishop of Arusha Isaac Amani in the inaugural mass. He pointed out that ‘We are being watched” by:

1. The Holy Spirit- We need to draw our strength     from the main source that is Christ himself. We should allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in everything we do especially in the work of our vice-provincial chapter. In our apostolic work “ni nafasi tu tumepewa ya kujirudi” (it is just an opportunity we are given to examine ourselves).
2. The World- He noted that we are working in the world which is very sick but also a world that does not appreciate our efforts and endeavors. We shall be rejected and even more be condemned. To be able to heal the world we must be men of integrity.
3. Satan - We ought to be attentive of Satan’s schemes intended to put the church to a ‘standstill’. We have to reject the greed, selfish interests, confusion and lies that he uses.
4. Watch over each other: Be each other’s keepers; love and desire for establishment of the Kingdom of God. All our works should be led by the passion for the Kingdom of God and compassion towards each other. Love of God should continue unifying us and making us better agents of unity.

In conclusion, Fr. Tesha wished us all the best in the vice-provincial Chapter but we have to open our hearts and mind to be guided by the Holy Spirit in our decisions and discussions.

“May the Holy Spirit continue enlightening the members of the first East African vice-provincial chapter which continues its sittings today.”
