Fr. Kasiya made the remarks during a Mass held recently in the mphakati. He reminded the congregation that the practice of thanksgiving to God dates back to the time of Abraham. “We need to thank God for whatever He does for us. Remember, God receives in good faith whatever we give Him, whether it is money or produce, as you have done today,” he said.
He also urged members to strengthen prayer in their homes and to pray for others facing challenges such as war, hunger, and hardship. In his homily, he emphasized the importance of loving and praying for both the elderly and the young.RBM Dismisses Stinging Rumors of Kwacha Devaluation
The first reading was taken from Genesis 18:1–15, and the Gospel from Luke 21:1–4. Both passages focused on prayer and thanksgiving to God.
Mr. Malak Banda, chairperson of the mphakati, said members were grateful for the Father Superior’s visit. He noted that the mphakati, which has few members, faces challenges, including the fact that since its establishment, elected leaders have not received training on how to manage its affairs. He appealed to Fr. Kasiya to consider holding Masses in the mphakati for the elderly and the sick who cannot attend daily services at the parish.
Banda also expressed concern that some members who should be part of the mphakati have crossed borders for reasons known only to themselves. Despite these challenges, he said, cooperation among the remaining members remains strong.Bushiri Pledges Support for Football Development in Ntcheu
