DO YOU KNOW YOUR MARTYRS?

today were are sharing about ST. DENNIS SSEBUGGWAWO & St. Mukasa Kiriwawanvu

DAY 1: Monday 25th May
SAINTS OF THE DAY

ST. DENNIS SSEBUGGWAWO
He is the second martyr to be killed. He was born at Kigolooba, Wakyaato, in Bulemeezi, Kijjaguzo Parish around 1869. His father was Kajjansi Ssebuggwawo of the Musu clan and his mother was Maria Nsonga Nabalongo from Busoga. He was calm, relaxed, rather quiet but jolly, gentle and acting maturely, free from vulgar language. He had a very good voice and good at singing. He was taken to the palace to serve as Mwanga’s page when he was about 14 years old. He was baptized on 17th November 1885. He was a very pious and zealous Christian, always willing to teach others the catholic faith, example of which is Muwafu whom he was teaching and that became the source of his brutal death on 25th May 1886. Severely scourged by King Mwanga, he was killed the following morning at Munyonyo. He was very humble and zealous for the faith. He is the Patron of singers, musicians and others.

St. Mukasa Kiriwawanvu
He is born at Mbale in Mawokota in Katende Parish. He is a son of Lumanyika Kirwamukyaayi and Malokuvaawo a mother from Busoga. His father was a very good wrestler. Mukasa was a very handsome man, a giant of exceptional strength. He was alert and humorous and full of jokes. He was taken as a page to King Muteesa I As a page, Mukasa Kiriwawanvu was in charge of serving food to the visitors and his fellow pages. Mukasa is the only Martyr who received the Baptism of blood. He was not baptized since at the day when Charles Lwanga baptized the catechumens on 26th May 1886, he was in prison because of the case of having hit his fellow page Gyaviira. The king ordered him to be burnt together with the other Christians. When he was asked whether he was Mukasa, the Christian, he fully professed his faith before them and thus was taken with the rest of the others and burnt at Namugongo on 3rd June 1886. He is the patron of hotels, bars and restaurants.

*✝📕NIGHT PRAYER*

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. *Amen.*

*Heavenly Father,* as this evening comes to a close, I thank You for Your love, mercy, and protection throughout this day. Thank You for every blessing, every lesson, and every grace You have given me.

*Lord Jesus,* forgive me for the times I have failed You today. Cleanse my heart from sin, worry, fear, and bitterness. Fill me instead with peace, humility, and trust in Your Sacred Heart.

As night falls, I place my family, friends, and all my intentions into Your loving hands. Protect us from harm, guide us in Your truth, and grant rest to the weary and comfort to those who suffer.

Bless those who are sick, lonely, anxious, and burdened. May Your healing mercy touch every wounded heart tonight.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the angels and saints, watch over us as we sleep and grant us a peaceful and restful night.

May we awaken tomorrow with renewed faith, hope, and love for You.

*Amen.*

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. *Amen.*
