Dear brothers and Sisters

I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. It was a real pleasure for me to worship God with many of you who were at Mass this morning as we mark the beginning of the holy season of lent with Ash Wednesday celebration. Once more, we are reminded of the importance of this season through the many acts of devotion associated with the period.

The Church during this time encourages penitential practices that are external and social. We are reminded majorly of the three disciplines of lent namely; prayer, fasting and alms giving.

as we set forth on this 40 day journey, I pray God to bless you and your families with his grace. I have attached to this message a video clip that will help you as you embark on this journey.

Thanks and God bless you.

Fr. Cosmas

PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH

Protect, O Holy Guardian, this our nation. Enlighten those responsible for the common good, so that they might know — like you do — how to care for those entrusted to their responsibility. Grant intelligence of knowledge to those seeking adequate means for the health and physical well-being of their brothers and sisters. Sustain those who are spending themselves for those in need, even at the cost of their own safety: volunteers, nurses, doctors who are on the front lines in curing the sick. Bless, O St Joseph, the Church: beginning with her ministers, make her the sign and instrument of your light and your goodness. Accompany, O St Joseph, our families: with your prayerful silence, create harmony between parents and their children, in a

special way with the youngest. Preserve the elderly from loneliness: grant that no one might be left in desperation from abandonment and discouragement. Comfort those who are the most frail, encourage those who falter, intercede for the poor. With the Virgin Mother, beg the Lord to liberate the world from every form of pandemic.

Amen.
