MEDITATION
I entreat you to practice every day the beautiful advice of Fr. Torres given to his penitents: Say every day an Our Father and a Hail Mary, in honor of the life of ignominy of Jesus; and offer yourself to suffer not only in peace but even with joy for the love of Him all the contradictions and reproaches that He will send you ; begging always His assistance to be faithful to Him bearing patiently all injuries and humiliations.
St. Alphonsus Ligouri
On June 3, 2025 we celebrate the feast of St Charles Lwanga. A Ugandan martyr who converted to the Catholic Church in the late 19th century. He was martyred for his Catholic beliefs by king Mwanga II. Owing to religious hatred, many faithful Christians were killed by this king during the years 1885 - 1887. Among them St. Charles and his twenty one companions, adhering steadfastly to the Catholic faith, were put to death, some by sword, others by burning, because they would not accede to the king’s unreasonable demands. An example that has kept the faith alive in Uganda for many years. Even up to today.
In fact, we have many priests who assist our Archdiocese today as missionaries from Uganda, Africa. Bless you Reverend Fathers for spreading the gospel of the Lord.
