BRAVO BRAVO, WE HAVE 5 DEACONS AND 6 PRIESTS!!!








 It is in deed the great joy of the Consolata Missionaries to have 5 deacons and  6 priests at once. the holy orders was officiated by His Lordship Alfred Rotich Retired Military Ordinariate - MI at Consolata Shrine Nairobi, the co-celebrants were the regional Superior fr. Joya IMC  and Fr. Marco IMC superior in charge of Africa. it was in deed a colourful celebration and the bishop asked the new clergy to baptise and celebrate as many sacraments as possible for the sanctification of the Christians who are the people of God. in deed the church still needs more priests as the harvest is plenty but the labourers are few. T he new missions of Taiwan and Angola still needs missionaries, and it is the work of all from the family level to the individual level to responding to the vocation. Congratulations our IMC brothers and keep to the faith. God bless you all in your service.
May our Blessed Founder Allamano and our mother Consolata pray and look after this great family.

Happy Birthday Consolata Missionary Institute


Today we as the Consolata family offer thanksgiving to God for the gift of this great family that he has given us. Mostly for having given us our dear founder Bl. Joseph Allamano who is in deed a father of missionaries and educator of priest and the entire family. We cannot fail to praise and honour our dear mother Our Lady Consolata the foundress, who in deed at the time when our founder was getting tired and giving up to form the Institute through the power of the Holy Spirit she helped found the institute. Happy Birthday IMC. Let us celebrate the foundation.

THEY MAY ALL BE ONE

This was the theme for the first recollection this semester by Fr. Peter Maina from the Murang'a diocese. It is a special and timely as we as one family are called to be one family of Our lady Consolata. Especially this year being the year of the founder where the whole Consolata fraternity are called to pray ceaselessly so as our dear founder may be a saint. Fr. Maina talked about Faith, we are all guided by faith and that is why we come from different regions, ethnic groups and countries to come and form one family.

FULLY PAID FOR


After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to the end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defence table.
As I looked around I saw the "prosecutor. " He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of Him. As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, "Let us begin."
The prosecutor rose and said, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this sinner belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about. As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defence at all. I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life -- couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done? Satan finished with a fury and said, "This sinner belongs in hell, and is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise."
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendour and majesty. I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Saviour.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," and then He turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this sinner deserves to be punished." Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Saviour, so he is Mine."
My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the book of life and no one can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy."
As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,"There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all."
The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words resounded from His lips... "This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed."
As my Lord embraced me and led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give up, I will win the next one."
I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever lost a case?" Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, "PAID IN FULL."
"Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!"
Jesus Loves you,what are you doing with your time
