I remember when I was younger, how my mum would always not allow my sisters and I to ever go out to play when we return from school in the afternoon. We were made to always stay indoors and be mindful of the kind of friends we keep. we dared not come home with anyhow person as a friend.

Also, in the mornings, say at about 4.00 - 4.30am every morning, we are made to wake up for early morning devotion and prayer, before going to fetch water from a distant well, for bathing and cooing before going to school. If at all, one thing that I dreaded and disliked most was my mum tapping me to wake up for morning prayers. It was always at a time when sleep was sweetest, and mostly during harmattan season.

But now, I realise that these were foundations that have been laid along the years, upon which one usually falls back to, and not derail under peer pressure and unbearable life situations.

This is exactly what Jesus meant in the analogy of a house built on a solid foundation; rain fell, wind blew, gales also threatened but the house remained firm, because it was built on a solid foundation.

Dear Rev. I have read your reflection on the Holy Trinity and it was very touching, Rev. May I please request that anytime you write anything for a sunday, please send to me a copy so I can read and share with my brothers and sisters in the Lord..

Once again, God bless you for the good work.

Great work. I regurlary check your sermons. Add an illustration or an incident or a story to make the sermon still appealing. Praise be to God.

Father
thank you for your wonderful homily. i have searched and researched this week’s Gospel and yours for all the web sites had the most and best historical view of the the outlook of the people on the two people.
Isn’t the internet an amzing thing in that your homily this week in India has inspired me in the correct direction for my reflection this week.
As my Father used to say, you can always depend on the Jesuits
God bless
