"HE IS RISEN!!!" KIVUBUKA OUTSTATION CHRISTIANS WITNESSED!

Fr. Oswald with the seminarians and the Catechist

Indeed the year 2017 is different! My fellow St. Marys’-Kivubuka outstation Christians, were blessed in an explicit manner. The joy on the faces of the Christians on the evening of the 15^th of April, 2017, portrayed and expressed the profound intimate joy they were experiencing deep in their heart and psyche. Being with them for nearly a year now, seeing that expression which was more or less exorbitant than the one I encounter while with them every Sunday.

Presided by the sacrament of penance, Fr. Oswald, who was the presider of the celebration, the great time in the history of Salvation began. Just few metres from the main door of the church, there stood the new light manifested in Christ. With our candles, we marched inside the building for the continuation of the Liturgy. Then came the time to manifest our joy for the triumphant Christ who conquered death and sin. We sung Gloria with joyful faces.

The celebration ended with a clear message, ‘go out to the whole world spreading the good news of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ’ and also, ‘trust and believe in who took upon his shoulders all the pain and suffering in place of the human.’ It is through this we will eventually be free from all bondages and follow Jesus, the Risen Lord.

Fr. Wynand presiding the celebration

As I said before in this article, God made this year special. On the 16^th April 2017, we had Fr. Wynand, a Mill hill missionary in Uganda for nearly fifty years now, in Kivubuka. The extended joy surpassed the house of God, we were all blessed in each and particular way.

On behalf the Kivubuka fraternity, I would like to extend our gratitude to God for the unexpected and the historical Easter time. We also thank His men whom He called to serve Him and the whole humanity.

Webale inno!

Webale idala!
