SPIRITUAL BREAKFAST: 2SAM. 11:1-4,5-10,13-17. MK. 4:26-34 MASS INTENTION: PRAY THE SOUL OF PA JULIUS OBEMBE WHO TODAY MARKS HIS 21ST YEARS OF HIS DEPARTURE. We celebrate St. JOHNBOSCO TODAY. He was born into a peasant family in 1815. He became a priest, and his particular concern was for the young. He settled in Turin, where, as in so many cities in the 19th century, the industrial revolution was bringing enormous movements of population and consequent social problems, especially for the young men who came there to work. John Bosco devoted himself to the care of the young, first of all by means of evening classes, to which hundreds came, and then by setting up a boardig house or apprentices, and then workshops for their training and education. DESPITE many difficulties caused both by the anti-clerical civil authorities and by the opposition of some senoir people within the Church, his enterprise grew and by 1868 over 800 boys and young men were under his care. To ensure the continuation of his work, he founded a congregation, which ha named after St. Francis de Sales and today the Salesians continue his work all over the world. Added to this in the first reading is the theme of SIN ESE. It is often said that an idle mind is the Devils workshop. DAVID was supposed to be at the battle front but as fate may have he decided to stay back. He could not ignore the beauty of this young lady and she could not resist or reject the Kings invitation. Their RENDEZVOUS leaves her pregnant. To hide the pregnacy became a problem that led to the death of husband. You need a bigger lie to cover up for the small one. How many times do we indulge in idleness? DAVID repented and sang Ps. 51 i.e. Have mercy on me GOD in your kindness... He was forgiven but not without the punishment attached to it because no sinner will go unpunished. Conversion preceeds Confession your turn is now today you might have opportunity DAVID had. Why not make a U turn now. YOU ARE LUCKKY TO HAVE COMPLETED 31days of the year 2014 it is not your power nor might. And you move into FEBRUARY may GOD bless you and your household. I will not have course to shed tears over you in the rest months of this year, AMEN. GOODMORNING
