The faithfuls of St. Augustine's cathedral parish were informed during mass that God their creator is always found in a silent place. Speaking During his Homily today, Fr. Nicholas Koro of the Apostles of Jesus said that God our creator is found in a silent place.
He gave examples of many instances when Christ wanted to make very important decisions and went on a hill alone to pray. Fr. Koro thus encouraged the faithfuls to give themselves time alone to communicate to God their creator in silence. Since God is always found in a serene place, then the faithfuls were encouraged to seek him and he will help them. The priest added that Christ is not found in noisy places, places of troubles, but comes to help them fast when they will call on his name when in problems to help them just like Peter, He urged them to call him and he will help them walk on water.
Fr. Koro warned the faithfuls to be not like the people I todays readings that knew christ but denied that he is the Saviour. He urged them to witness him always in their day to day lives and they will resist temptations. He also added that the moment one loses faith he falls into temptations. He encouraged them not to fear for Christ is with them till the end of the world. He also said that Jesus walking on the water showed that he is the creator of everything. He added that Peter sank in water because he doubted. Fr. Koro said that when someone is in doubt then he or she sinks into temptation and thus will fear to come back to face the reality. He gave examples of people who start to miss mass, and as a result become afraid to come back. He added that Peter in the reading asked Christ to hold his hand and Jesus helped him walk on water and they can also call on Christ's name for he is ready to come and help them in their troubles and will enable them walk on troubles. The priest also encouraged the faithfuls to be people of faith who commit themselves to go forward with their plans without doubts.
