GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY

REFLECTION

Today is good shepherd Sunday. A special day the church set apart for us to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Jesus is set before us as a model. We are called to reflect on our relationship with him. As we celebrate this special day i want you to reflect and ponder on the following:
Do you listen to the voice of Jesus?
Do you see the priest as your shepherd today?
Can you recognize the voice of your priest and listen to him?
Do you pray for your priest?
When last did you book mass for your priest or pray the rosary for him?
Do you pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life?
Will you willingly allow your child to become a priest or a Sister?
When last did you support a seminarian?
Why not train a seminarian to be a priest since you cannot be one?
What do you do when your priest is not living up to expectations. Do you pray for him or criticize?

Do you encourage people to become priest by your attitude and the way you behave?
The harvest is rich but the labourers are few. Pray therefore for the lord to send more labourers to the harvest.
As you pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, may God bless you all in your vocation. Remember you can be a priest by going (to the seminary) or by giving  ( sponsoring a seminarian). Pray for us your priests to be good sherperds like Jesus.
Happy Sunday. Have a wonderful week and stay safe.

Nigeria Federation of Catholic Students (NFCS) is a body encompassing catholic students in all high institutions of learning. Its history can be traced back to 1920 when the idea of catholic students unionism came up; an internal catholic study union (ICSU) was created in swiss with George de Montenach as the president to deepen the urgency for reconciliation in a world torn apart by the first world war. During the late 1920s, the students society charged its President; Montenach, secretary; Max Gressly and father Tschunor to deepen the contacts with other student group, Dr. Gerald Brom, the then General Secretary of the Netherlands Catholic Association of Students responded quickly to this effort and a coalition of the students from three neutral countries during the war was created; Switzerland, Holland and Spain. Another chapter was created in early 1921 after a meeting between Max Gressly and Dr. Brom when it was decided to gather together the different associations of the student...

What killed Sam Okwaraji????

*The Untold Story Of what killed Samuel Okwaraji, the legendary Nigerian player who died while playing against India.* ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ As I am writing this, I am struggling to plug a wall of emotions with a stoic face. General Kollington Ayinla’s Late Okwaraji which has filled my room with its sober and somber lines is not helping matters. Hmmm….there is no way one will tell the story of SAMUEL SOCHUKWUMA OKWARAJI without feeling the pain of the loss gnawing at your heart, and as your head swells with patriotic pride, your lacrimal glands conspire to betray you. For millions of Nigerians, the most fabled soccer player is none other than this gentleman. Many grew up listening to incredibly woven and mesmerizing story of how he gave up the ghost while Nigeria was playing against India. After Nigeria had defeated India by a world-record-breaking 99-0, and were on the verge of making it 100-0 and completing the humiliating defeat of t...
