Inmates at the GK prison in Lodwar were urged to take time to reflect on their lives
and make a choice to respond to God’s call to begin a new chapter by living
positively.
In his homily Lodwar Diocese Bishop Dominic Kimengich told
the prisoners that it is the nature of human beings to err but added that God
wants them to come back to their senses and mend their ways in order to live in
accordance with God’s commandments. His Lordship told the prisoners during Mass
on the second Sunday of Lent that God is forgiving and calls on all who have
gone astray to follow Him and leave behind whatever wrongs may have occurred in
their lives. Making reference to the reading taken from the Gospel of St.
Mathew, Bishop Kimengich said everyone should follow the example of our Lord
Jesus who was on the mountain and heard a voice calling Him stating He is the
Son of God and he obeyed. Rt. Rev. Kimengich said that even in prison God is
present and added that though people make mistakes they make things harder
instead of realizing God’s presence in their lives and make a quick change. At
the same time one of the inmates urged the Bishop to build a chapel in the
prison quarters for them to use for worship on Sundays. His Lordship told the
prisoners to keep praying as the diocese looks into the possibility of putting
up a prayer house in the prison.
