Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit.  Edited by  Raphael Arinze Sometimes, I always ponder why those who are called Christians always behave like pegans; like unbelievers.  What is happening? And what could be the cause? When Christians are supposed to be the light to the whole, salts of the earth....., As Jesus Christ put it for us. Despite all the provisions and equipment, made available in a spiritual realm to keep us going, no matter any circumstances and derived demand to traits our minds back forward. Our live as Christians  don't align with the demands of a Christian call. Let us face it.  Christians are made to always represent Christ all places in everywhere as the case maybe.  Why do we often fail? when we always read the Bible and go to church as we practice.  The Spirit of God is always in us,  and for it to be active in our lives; God bestows His Spirit upon his Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ so that we can bost about the power of God in our lives.

Summary by Raphael Arinze. INTRODUCTION: Fr Lawrence ogundipe who belong to the Society of all Vocation "Vocationist" has portrayed in His Book named "BE A SAINT". And it is very good to light up our minds to the easy way in becoming Saint. The most important of this book is for us Christian and all nations, tribes, religions, race, cultures, color, etc - to be a saint.

True Priest from God with Rev fr Mark Omene  . "A PRIEST WHO STAND FOR CHRIST IS A TRUE PRIEST FROM GOD " "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life which I live in the flesh I live by Faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20   A call to follow Christ is not a Carmel on the desert; although the Carmel always succeed as some Christian also succeed to make Heaven. But, Carmel is an alternative the user uses. But, for Christians, it is the uses that must be used.     As we are bound to profess our faith as the soldiers of Jesus Christ, we must be ready to defend Christ at all costs. And these shows that the life we live is not ours but for Christ.  To live a life of Christ, your flesh is considered to suffer it, for the spirit of God in you will keep your spirits joyful.    The example of a true priest of God must be to be to win souls for God and also gain his own soul f

 Always Remember God in everything that you do by Ugwueze Christian Ndubisi. "A DAILY ADVICE BY MR. CHRISTIAN NDUBISI TO THE FAMILY"  In this life, we will face different challenges. Challenges that can even makes you to forget the existence of God, or even if you remember; you will have a doubting spirit. But know that God was never a man, and He cannot be a man. Suffering may present to you as if you are the worst sinner, but bear in your minds that clear conscience justify the cause of true liberty.     Mostly, every human aspiration is to have enough, but when something like that is lacking, it might appear to you as if you are not all that prayerful as you ought to be. Or it may seems that God have rejected you. Even when you commit yourself in constant prayer and nothing is coming out positively - unjustified questions will be raising from your mind. But we should look at Job in the Bible. He was a righteous man, but you know the whole story; the abundant of wealth, the

Process of  Declaring Person "Saint" by Rev Fr Lawrence ogundipe   The act, by which the church declares that a person who has died was a saint, is called Canonization it involved different processes requiring extension proof that the candidate for canonization lived and died in such an exemplary and holy way that he is worthy to be recognized as a saint. The Church's official recognition of sanctity implies that the person is now in Heaven and that he may be publicly invoked and mentioned officially in the liturgy of the Church, including in the Litany of the Saints.    This first step toward canonization begins with the title Servant of God (Latin: Servus Dei ): This process commence at the diocesan level. A bishop with jurisdiction, usually the bishop of the place where the candidate died or is buried, (although another ordinary can be given this authority) gives permission to open an investigation into the virtues of the individual in response to a petition of members

Zion , praise your Saviour. Praise your leader and shepherd in hymns and canticles. Praise him as much as you can, for he is beyond all praising and you will never be able to praise him as he merits. But today a theme worthy of particular praise is put before us - the living and life given bread that, without any doubt, was given to the Twelve at table during the Holy supper. Therefore, let our praise be full and resounding and our soul's rejoicing full of delight and beauty, for this is the festival day to commemorate the first institution of this table. At this table of the new King. The new law's Pasch puts an end to the Old Pasch.  The new displaces the old, reality the shadow and light the darkness. Christ wanted what he did at the supper to be repeated in his memory. And so we, in accordance with his holy directions consecrate bread and wine to be salvation's Victims. Christ's followers know by faith that bread is changed into his flesh and wine into his blood. Ma
