Church News -28.7.2013 - Christians were told not to be self sufficient, Priest says - By ken simiyu -

Last Sunday marked the 17^th Sunday on the calender of catholic church and parishioners of St. Augustine Cathedral church have been told to Pray persistently and not to be self sufficient. In his Homily Fr. Nakutan told the Christians that in the reading of today Abraham was between God and the people of Sodom and Gomora which was a sinful country but Abraham prayed and through His prayers God did not destroy every body. Fr. Nakutan called upon Christians to follow the foot steps of Abraham through praying without giving up. He added that there are two things that Christians should know and these were the weapons which Abraham used to face God with, Christians should lean how to ask for forgiveness and repentance. Fr. Nakutan added that Christians should not be self sufficient, satisfy and also self righteous, but they should be social conscious and follow the example of good Samaritan with their neighbors and take them as one family. He warned those with little faith to pray persistently in oder to receive his blessings since God's time and hour is always the best. Fr. Nakutan thanked our lady's Girls secondary for animating mass and also bid farewell to The seminarian Imo Bassols who had been assisting in the parish but now goes back to the seminary. We wish him God's blessings as he prepares to be the minister of the word of God.
