CELEBRATING OUR FAITH THROUGH CULTURE – MT. KENYA COMMUNITY CULTURAL MASS
Today, our parish was blessed with a beautiful Mt. Kenya Community Cultural Mass, as we continue our spiritual and cultural journey towards the Centenary Celebration of St. Joseph Allamano on 24 October 2026 at our parish which will bring together all coastal parishes ministered by Consolata IMC missionaries - Adu, Timbwani, Ukunda and Likoni parishes

The celebration brought together faith and culture in a joyful expression of our Catholic identity. Through traditional dress, music, song, dance and the rich cultural heritage of the Mt. Kenya community, the faithful reminded us that our diverse cultures are gifts that can enrich the unity of the Church.
The Eucharistic celebration was not only an opportunity to give thanks to God, but also a powerful reminder that, despite our different cultural backgrounds, we are one family in Christ.
As we journey towards the St. Allamano Centenary, may his missionary spirit continue to inspire us to bring the Gospel to every heart, every family and every community, while celebrating the richness of who we are.
“The Good must be done in silence.” – St. Joseph Allamano
🙏 One Faith. One Family. Many Cultures. One Mission.

Next on stage will be Kisii, Kuria and Kalenjin communities. Watch this page. The cultural Holy Masses will run until October 18th when we will have Coastal communities. All are welcome.

TODAY'S REFLECTION - SEPTEMBER 13, 2026.
24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, Liturgical READINGS: ECCLESIASTICUS 27:33​-28:9, Ps. 103:1-4,9-12, ROMANS 14:7-9, MATTHEW 18:21​-35

Last Sunday, we heard Jesus outline the steps we must take to reconcile with someone who sins against us. Rather than wait for the one who has hurt us to apologise, Jesus wants us to make the first move – to seek reconciliation even before they admit their fault. Honestly, this is hard.

In today’s Gospel passage, Peter asked Jesus: “How often shall someone sin against me and I forgive? As many as seven times?” As if reconciling with those who hurt us is not difficult enough, Jesus raises the bar by responding: “Not seven times, but I tell you seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:22​).

Why should I be so generous with my forgiveness? Why should I keep giving others the room to hurt me? Where does justice come into the picture? If I keep forgiving, will they not take me for a fool? In response, Jesus gave the parable in today’s Gospel passage. This brings us to our lessons for today:

1. HARBOURING ANGER LEADS TO SIN

When you are angry for too long, the devil seizes your anger as an opportunity to whisper evil suggestions to you. You find yourself thinking about how to inflict pain on others or wishing something bad would happen to them. It is witchcraft to celebrate the downfall of others just because they hurt you in the past. Anger makes us witches. What do you expect when you go on an excursion with the devil? When angry for too long, you cannot resist temptations to sin. You know what you are about to do is evil, but you justify it based on your anger.

2. FAILURE TO FORGIVE BLOCKS YOUR PRAYERS FROM REACHING GOD

Our first reading says: “Forgive your neighbour the wrong he has done, then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.” Jesus teaches us: “If you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:15​). In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the elder brother returns from work. He hears music and dancing but refuses to go in.

3. FAILURE TO FORGIVE DAMAGES OUR HEALTH

Some find it difficult to enjoy their meals or even laugh just because they keep replaying the hurtful words others said to them. Many have landed in the hospital for illnesses triggered by the failure to forgive. Our first reading today asks: “Does a man harbour anger against another and yet seek healing from the Lord?” In other words, if you do not forgive, you do not deserve good health.

Forgiveness is therapeutic. If you know someone who is sick, visit them and ask them to forgive anyone who has hurt them. Forgiveness has been proven to be more powerful than medicine in many cases. I refuse to forgive; I am like a person holding burning coals with my bare hands, intending to throw them at those who have hurt me. Once again, I ask, “Who suffers more when I do not forgive?”

4. FAILURE TO FORGIVE DENIES US OF GOD'S MERCY

When the master was told how the servant refused to forgive his fellow servant, he no longer listened to his pleas. He does not deserve mercy if he could imprison his fellow servant for a lesser debt. Jesus taught us: “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12​)

Are you angry with someone? Do you feel like ripping them apart? You feel this way because of your self-righteousness. You consider yourself better than them. You may have done worse things to others without even knowing it. You may have caused greater pain to God. As much as you crave justice, let the pain you feel remind you of the pain your sins cause to God. We are all debtors; we have all sinned against God, and anyone who says he hasn’t is a liar. (Cf. 1 John 1:8).

CONCLUSION

Who suffers more when I don’t forgive? Is it me or the one who offended me? So far, we have seen that I suffer more when I don’t forgive. Forgiveness is hard, but better than holding on to past grudges and pain. If it weren’t a better option, Jesus would not have recommended it. In today’s second reading, St. Paul says, “None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.” Remember: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, naked I shall return.” (Job 1:21​). Make your life a blessing to others; forgive and be kind even to those who hurt you. This world is not our own; we are just passing through it.

LET US PRAY:
Look upon us, O God, Creator and ruler of all things, and let us feel the working of your mercy; grant that we may serve you with all our heart. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY.

SUNDAY REFLECTION.

THEME: FEAR NOT; GOD IS NEVER FAR FROM YOU
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A
Readings: 1 Kings 19:9,11-13, Ps. 85:9-14, Romans 9:1-5, Matthew 14:22​-33

In today’s Gospel passage, something similar to the Transfiguration of Jesus took place. Jesus did not enter the boat with His disciples, but went to a quiet place to pray alone. At the fourth watch of the night, while the disciples were struggling with the waves, they saw Jesus walking to them on water. They thought it was a ghost because they were overcome by fear; they could not imagine a human being walking on water. As He did with Peter, James and John at the Transfiguration, Jesus used this occasion to reveal His Divinity and to assure them of His ever-abiding presence.

Are you lost at sea, scared at the waves beating you from every side, unable to know where to turn? Has life been very harsh to you, like it was with Elijah, who found himself fleeing from Jezebel in today’s First Reading? Has your faith in God begun to wane due to the troubles all around you? Then listen to what God says to you today.

1. Know Who You Are and Where You Belong

Dear friends, enough is enough to be a number in the crowd; Jesus invites you today to become a disciple. Jesus is inviting you to go beyond being a Baby Christian to one whose faith remains unshaken despite trials and difficulties like Elijah and St. Paul, whom we encounter in our first and second readings today. Jesus invites you today to enter the boat and go before him to the other side. Jesus wants you to distance yourself from the crowds (so-called Christians who do not live like Christ). Jesus wants you to graduate from crowd to disciple.

2. Prayer is the Master Key

Another important detail Matthew provides us today is that Jesus prayed alone. “When evening came, He was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land…” Jesus practically demonstrates what He taught us about prayer in the Sermon on the Mount. In today’s first reading, Elijah experiences the presence of God in a still, small voice on Mount Horeb. There were loud noises, heavy winds, earthquakes and fire, but God was not in these. We live in a very noisy world; many do not know how to be silent. There is nothing wrong with raising one’s voice at prayer, but the truth is that even in silence, God can still be found.

3. Fear Not; God is Never Far from You

In his prayer, Jesus could see the trouble with the disciples even though they were many furlongs distant from the land. We can never leave the presence of God as the Psalmist sings: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there, your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.” (Psalm 139:7-12).

While the children of Israel could only see Goliath, David saw God and had this inner peace and assurance within his heart that he could face Goliath. So long as Peter gazed on Jesus, he could walk on water, but when he turned his gaze to the winds, he began to sink.

Stop looking at the enormity of your problems and start learning how to fix your gaze permanently on God; learn to practice being in God’s presence. When we often ask, “God, where are you?” we forget He is always there. Your situation may be so bad that you now expect only the worst to happen; everything may have gotten out of hand, and your whole world may appear to be collapsing before your eyes; know this: God is right here with you. Even when you cannot picture Jesus walking on top of your crisis, know that it is impossible to be away from His presence.

Conclusion:
Jesus is Lord of Heaven and Earth
Every one of us needs to ask ourselves today: “Who do I think is really in charge of this world?” If you truly believe that God is in charge, I ask the question that Jesus asked Peter: “O you of little faith, why are you doubting?” Why are you having sleepless nights after praying? Why are you expecting bad things to happen? Do you think God does not know what He is doing?

Let us pray:
Almighty ever-living God, whom, taught by the Holy Spirit, we dare to call our Father, bring, we pray, to perfection in our hearts the spirit of adoption as your sons and daughters, that we may merit to enter into the inheritance which you have promised. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen

May you have a happy Sunday

Ml 14:22-33

Yesu aliwalazimisha wanafunzi wake wapande chomboni na kutangulia mbele yake kwenda ng'ambe. wakati yeye alipokuwa akiwaaga makutano. Nave alipokwisha kuwaaga makutano, alipanda mlimani faraghani, kwenda kuomba. Na kulipokuwa jioni, alikuwako huko peke yake. Na kile chombo kimekwisha kufika katikati ya bahari, kinataabika sana na mawimbi; maana upepo ulikuwa wa mbisho. Hata wakati wa zamu ya nne ya usiku Yesu akawaendea. akienda kwa miguu juu ya bahari. Wanafunzi walipomwona akienda juu ya bahari, wakafadhaika, wakisema, Ni kivuli, wakapiga yowe kwa hofu. Mara Yesu akanena, akawaambia, Jipeni movo; ni mimi; msiogope. Petro akamjibu, akasema, Bwana, ikiwa ni wewe, niamuru nije kwako juu ya maji. Akasema, Njoo. Petro akashuka chomboni, akaenda kwa miguu juu ya maji, ili kumwendea Yesu. Lakini alipouona upepo, akaogopa; akaanza kuzama, akapiga yowe akisema, Bwana, niokoe. Mara Yesu akanyosha mkono wake, akamshika, akamwambia, Ewe mwenye imani haba, mbona uliona shaka? Nao walipopanda chomboni, upepo ulikoma. Nao waliokuwamo ndani ya chombo wakamsujudia wakisema, Hakika wewe ni Mwana wa Mungu.

Neno la Bwana...Sifa kwako, ee Kristo
