Most people always have a question why one easily falls back to sin after having gone for repentance. Most people have argued it out and many more still will come to argue it out that man is prone to sin. I would not really conquer with them nor refute their ideas for they believe that. Rather I would wish to evaluate this from using a lens of vacation. A vacation is an extended period of recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling or the action of leaving something one previously occupied as mostly described on the net or the dictionary. Defining it etymologically would draw us back to a Latin word “ vacare” meaning “ to be empty ” and would be the colour of my lens. Many times when we go for the sacrament of penance, we take a vacation from sin and in so doing have emptied ourselves of sin.

Michael raising the Ugandan flag The Ugandans of Lavigerie House wish all citizens of this country a grace-filled 53 rd Independence Day celebration. On this day we pray in a special way for those who lost their lives for the love of this nation.  We also express our gratitude to the different institutions and individuals who have made this country what it is. Thank you and May God bless you abundantly. Uganda is such a beautiful country with a beautiful history. It is the Pearl of Africa. It was granted independence on 9 th /Oct/1962 by the British government. From 1962-1963, the country was under the leadership of the Governor-General who represented the Monarch of the United Kingdom. It was on 9 th /Oct/1963 that Uganda became a Republic with a democratically elected president. Uganda has experienced the tenet of 9 presidents from the time of independence. I think it is profoundly important to appreciate their efforts in shaping this lovely nation. Each of them had...

The 8th day of the month of September is one dedicated to celebrating the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of the Christ. Like any of us she was born, yet she merits the privilege of being conceived without the stain of Original sin as celebrated exactly three month after this feast. The birth of the Blessed Virgin is a proclamation of the fulfillment of the ancient promise. It announces the birth of the new Eve, she through whom arose the Sun of Justice, the prince of peace, the son of the most high God. Christ the Lord from whom we sing the song of the redeemed. Our institute, Queen of Apostles Philosophy Centre Jinja, is dedicated to the care of the Blessed Virgin. That through her intercessions, we may always merit the blessings of the All benevolent God. The entire PCJ family marked the feast day with a reflection on the Holy Father Pope Francis’ new Encyclical “Laudato si”. The day was animated by Fr. Dr. Sulpicius Tumushabe of the diocese of Kabale, Uganda, wo...
