WORDS CAN SCAR, EVEN IF YOU SAY SORRY.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”

The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said, “I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you.”

“Of course I can,” said the father.

Bishop Kamomoe, who has been serving as Auxiliary Bishop of Wote since August 2025, brings with him wide pastoral and administrative experience. He was ordained bishop in 2023 to assist in shepherding the Archdiocese of Nairobi before his transfer to Wote.
The Catholic Diocese of Wote, erected in July 2021 after being carved out of the Diocese of Machakos, covers Makueni County and its environs. With a growing Catholic population and diverse pastoral needs, the diocese faces both opportunities and challenges in evangelization, education, and social transformation.
Since his installation in 2022, Bishop Kariuki Njiru, formerly Bishop of Embu, has laid the foundation for diocesan structures and prioritized evangelization, Catholic education, and social development initiatives in a region often burdened by economic hardship.
On August 23, 2025, the diocese celebrated a moment of grace at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church, Wote, when Bishop Kamomoe was installed as Auxiliary Bishop. The solemn Mass was presided over by Archbishop Philip Anyolo of Nairobi and concelebrated by several bishops, with clergy, religious, and thousands of lay faithful in attendance. The celebration marked a new chapter for the young diocese as it embraced renewed strength in faith and mission.
With his new mandate as Apostolic Administrator, Bishop Kamomoe is entrusted with ensuring continuity in governance and pastoral care. His appointment signals both stability for the diocese and the Vatican’s confidence in his leadership.
Archbishop van Megen, in his communication to the bishops of Kenya, extended prayerful wishes, inviting the faithful to remain united in prayer for Bishop Kariuki Njiru’s recovery and to support Bishop Kamomoe in his new responsibilities.
