Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
In our first reading today from the Acts of the Apostles, we are given a glimpse of what the Christian culture of the early followers of Christ looked like. They were of one heart and soul, they held everything in common, they testified to the resurrection of Jesus, grace was upon them, there was no needy person among them, etc. This culture of the early Christians is what inspired the religious communities in the Church, where all is held in common, people live in communities, and life revolves around common prayer, and a common table.

We are still in the Easter Octave and our readings are focused on the post-resurrection stories. We are reflecting on what happened in the days after the resurrection, and we are also reflecting on what happened in the lives of the followers of Jesus after the resurrection.

According to the World Health Organization, Uganda is among the ten highest alcohol-consuming countries in the world. It is in the same league with countries such as the Czech Republic, Latvia, Moldova, Ireland, Germany, and Lithuania. In fact, a couple of years ago, they were the topmost alcohol consuming country in the whole world.

I have had the privilege of visiting the Holy Land, driving from Egypt through the Sinai Desert all the way into Israel. That drive through the Sinai is a tough one. We have organized a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We will visit a couple of territories – Jordan, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt. The flyer is on the table just outside the chapel. During the pilgrimage, you will experience the Bible on the ground.

I was born and raised in a small village called Wairaka in the Jinja District of Uganda. I remember years back while in seminary, I became close friends to an elderly woman in Wairaka, her name was Alistera.

Today in our gospel we have two points to reflect on during the day. First, we hear Jesus tell us about the need for each one of us to “carry our own Cross”, and second, we hear him tell us that if anyone wants to save his or her life, he or she must be willing to “lose it.”
