Today, heaven seems a little closer to earth as we celebrate a shepherd, a Father, a voice of grace our beloved Archbishop Edward Tamba Charles at 70.
Seventy years of life…......
A journey woven with faith, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to God’s people.
Seventy years of being a light in moments of darkness, a steady hand in times of uncertainty, and a gentle reminder that God’s love never fails.
From the quiet prayers whispered in solitude
to the powerful words that have lifted countless hearts,
your life has become a living testament of service, humility, and divine purpose.
At St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Church, Benguema, Waterloo, we do not just celebrate your age
we celebrate your impact.We celebrate the souls you have guided, the hope you have restored,
and the faith you continue to ignite in all of us.
Like a candle that never tires of burning,
you have poured yourself out for others and in doing so, you have shown us the true meaning of love.
As you mark this beautiful milestone,
may the God you have served so faithfully
renew your strength like the eagle’s,
fill your days with peace beyond understanding
and crown your years with even greater joy.
Happy 70th Birthday, Your Grace.
You are deeply loved, profoundly cherished,
and forever held in our prayers.
