Local news – 31.08.2011 - by Zacheaus Otaba - Turn to the lord since there is light in Christ

The director st James Juniorate who is also the assistant priest of st. Augustine Father Simon Mutahi, has urged the youth to turn to the lord, since Christ is full of light and life.
Speaking today during the recollection with the youth of st. Stephen at the st. James Juniorate center, the priest said that a large number of youth is lost in worldly things, instead of seeking spiritual life.
Father Mutahi noted that it has been a big challenge to bring the youth together for the common goal, especially for the development of the church. However, he was courageous that the reaction of the youth showed that they had learnt something from the day's theme which was what do the people say Christ is.
The priest gave an example of the world youth day that was celebrated in Madrid, Spain that was led by Benedict XVI and attended by hundreds of thousands of youth. He called for youth to attend the Sunday's mass in large number, since it will be their last day before opening, where they will be blessed together. The event brought together more than 25 youths from st. Augustine, which make up the st. Stephen youth group.
