Good day Beloved. This evening I'm thinking of an old time question about why there is evil in the world.
Many philosophers and theologians have struggled to.proffer some answers to this problem with little success.

But I wish to add that since God is perfectly good, for God is all powerful, means that he is a being who deserves unconditional gratitute, worship and praise.

Once we realize this fact, we are to endeavor to know the goodness of God and to strive to domonstrate that conviction in our daily life whether or not people around us accept our God. Evil will not overtake the goodness of God who saw that all he created was very good.

Keep on doing the good you can and little by little, evil will disappear for the goodness of God to prevail forevermore. St. Augustine reminds us that the universe was made out of concreated matter, that is matter created simultaneously with the creation of the whole universe. Therefore, Augustine reasoned that our hearts are never at rest, until they rest in God who has set the laws and parameters of this universe.

No matter the evil around us, God's overwhelmiing mercy will lead us through his Son Jesus who overcame all evil that we may live. May God grant you a peaceful night and a perfect end amen.

Today, we celebrate St. Athanasius who was Bishop of Alexandria in North Africa, born in 295 and died in 373 CE. Athanasius fought the evil of Arianism heresy that denied the divinity of Jesus, the Son of God. On this account, he suffered several exiles by the civil authority and yet, he was steadfast in all of them.

Our Bishop, Athanasius Atule Usuh, the late Bishop Emeritus of Makurdi Diocese followed the example of his patron and worked strenuously over many years by establishing Five Catholic Dioceses of Otukpo, Lafia, Gboko, Katsina Ala and got his successor, Most Reverend Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe cmf, as the Bishop of Makurdi. What else can we expect from another Athanasius than what Bishop Usuh did for the Middle Belt Church in Nigeria.

Two yeara have gone since you passed unto the Lord Our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. May you receive merciful judgment from God until we meet you in heaven to.part no more. Amen. P. Ajiki

Good evening Beloved of BSU Good Shepherd Chaplaincy. I received the sad news this afternoon that all four giant speakers for the Central Choir of our Chaplaincy have been removed by unknown person . It is my conviction that members took these very special instruments for the service of God outside our Chaplaibcy. But here on campus we sincerely request that they should be returned to the Church. If you have any idea about the person or persons who are in position of these instruments for the Gods Church please return them immediately wthout delay. If by Wednesday Nov. 8, these are still at large, I will ask the good people of the Chaplaincy to pray and fast for God to reveal those who are responsible for the missing four speakers in the Church. May the will of God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit abide with all of you Good People of our BSU Good Shepherd. Makurdi Benue Srate. Forevermore Amen. Chaplain.

Beloved in Christ Jesus and Good Shepherd Catholics as you are already aware we have planned to commence this years Family Thanksgiving from Sunday, July 2, 2017. There will be only one mass on that day by 10 am in our Chapel. We have invited the Distinguished Senator, His Excellency Dr. George Akume KSJI, for this Thanksgiving to also pray for his enduring support to the Catholic faith in the Dioceses of Makurdi, Lafia, Otukpo, Katsina Ala and Gboko. Since assuming duty as Chaplain for the Benue State University Makurdi and the Good Shepherd Catholic Chaplaincy in January 2006', Dr. George Akume as then Governor was the first to make a generous donation of 10 million naira to begin the construction of our present Good Shepherd Chapel. Since then he and his wife Chief Regina Akume have consistently supported my mission for Catholic students on campus. It is on record for those who care to see the the Senator and his family single handedly supported the creation of the two new dioceses of Gboko and Katsina Ala. I was away on mission in Washington DC since 1997 to 2006 but had good knowledge of the generous charity the Senator made to individual parishes institutions and priests and pastors. I'm not going to wait until his death to announce his good will to God. Msgr. Kenneth Enang then Rector of St. Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary Makurdi told me of the donations Senator Akume made for the beautiful faculty buildings we have here today. As chairman for the installation of our new Bishop of Makurdi Diocese we approached him and his wife in Abuja. The received our team and offered great and delicious entertainment. He promised to be there and made a cash donation of 5 million naira that day. If you pass by St. Christophe's Church Wannune, the Senator's home town and have time to visit the magnificent edifice of the new Church built by the same family you would think its a Cathedral Church. Many priests pastors and the religious have testified of the generosity done to them by this Distinguished Senators. This is why we in the BSU Good Shepherd Catholic Chaplaincy have invited him and his wife for a thanksgiving Eucharistic Celebration for their intention for Gods blessing of their continuous dedication to Gods work in the Church. Beloved I be only mentioned a few I could remember now. You may come join us that day to pray for them, our State Government, headed by Dr. Samuel Ortom, the Benue State University under the leadership of Professor Msugh Moses Kembe K of C, staff and students for a smooth academic session as we look forward to reopening the University after the strike by ASUU and other unions. May Our Lady of Fatima the Mother of Our Lord and Our Mother The Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for all her children forevermore. Amen. Fr. Pius Ajiki, Chaplain.

Beloved in Christ Jesus, one very important message Our Lord Jesus brought by his birth today is that the God of heaven and earth is God of humility. Those who wish to know him must return to the path of humility of life words and actions. See if in the last year you and I have followed this God or our personal desires or Gods. Happy Christmas of the humble God.

The Psalmist says: “I will not go to my room to sleep; neither will I give my eyes any rest until I build the House for the Mighty One of Jacob” (Psalm 132). May the Lord of Jacob reward your generosity forever more through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary. Amen.
