Congratulations on your Golden Jubilee Father,
My name is Edwin Muthomi a member of the movement communion and liberation.
I am listening to The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart, a classical piece I think you would like because of its beauty, and vibrance. I can use these two words to describe your personality and what I think you have encountered.
I first met you for the first time during the mass at the clergy home after the charity work of the movement Communion and Liberation.
I admired your passion for Christ and more so calling CHRIST our elder brother amazes me. This personal and intimate relationship with Christ is what I always yearn for and I keep asking Christ to always keep his memory fresh in my mind and heart.
I remember one day after we had practiced the readings for the mass with you, I told you that I was waiting for the results of an interview I had gone to during the week and so you pray for me. You told me not to worry because I came to glorify God. These words are daily shaping my life. Living to glorify God as Father Giussani writes, “EXISTENCE AS AN OFFERING GOD.” I understood you told me to glorify for the sake of glorifying.
Practicing readings with you too is a great form of asking God because your way is unique. During these beautiful moments in the sacrist, I ask the Lord to make me understand what you require and what he requires from me. While sometimes I don’t get all the instructions, I find joy in the fact that I offered that moment to the Lord.
May you always find joy and fulfillment in this beautiful pilgrimage to our Father’s House.
