2013 CATHOLIC MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

On this joyous celebration of the Mother’s day, I felicitate with the Catholic Women especially The Aba Diocesan Council of Catholic Women Organisation (ADDCWO) Permit me to mention some outstanding mothers in this realm I encountered during my service as the Aba Diocesan President of the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria (CYON) 2000 – 2006; Lady Grace Amobi, Lady Mary Otigbuo, Lady Ann Ajemba, Lady Gloria Odor, Lady Leticia Okoroama, Lady Mary Uduokporo, Lady Izuwa of the blessed memory, Lady Akalabu, Lady Uche, Ezinne Felicia Ugboaja etc. May this occasion increase your faith in Christ and brighten your days. Congratulations.

EZINNE AWARD: Give honour to whom honour is due. Ezinne award is not a bad thing. The church should stop making mockery of Ezinne Award. Let's dig deep into the quality of an Ezinne. I still wonder why a woman who never lived or trained her six girl - children morally and character-wise, these can be evidently seen in the mode of the six getting married without any dowry or marriage rite performed either traditionally or by the church should be designated as "EZINNE" (GOOD MOTHER) What's good about the woman? I am not judging but she ought to be ignored in this award. My advice is that this award should be earned not bought. Happy mother's day to all the Catholic women.

KELECHI AMUCHA ...AN OPTIMIST

When an optimist has a set back, how does he feel? He does not see the defeat as a permanent one. This does not mean that he denies reality. Rather, he accepts and examines the matter. Then as circumstances allow, he takes action to change or improve the situation. One should not blame himself for adversity, misfortune is not permanent and it did not come from one's stupidity, incompetence, or poor image. One should not resign himself to failure. When you find yourself thinking that you won't enjoy something or you won't succeed in some project, reject the thought. Focus on the positive. Look for friends who view life positively. Deal with the situations that you can control, try to accept those you cannot. Optimism improves your health.

LOVE IN LENT

The Lenten season this year starts on Feb. 13th, Ash Wednesday, reminding us that time flies, and life is short. 

But God be thanked, February is also popularly considered the Month of Hearts, when we observe Valentines’ Day on the 14th. The day is special for lovers and even close friends and relatives, (or sometimes even between the anonymous) as a day for the sending and/or exchange of expressions of love and affection in cards, messages and gifts and/or other tokens of affection. Actually, the day is named after St. Valentine.

Valentine's Day is now a secular time celebrating romantic love, but there is no love without God. Perhaps a better way to celebrate Lent is to take on projects of love: charities and beneficences, service and giving. These should be components of penance, reflection and fasting.

KELECHI EZEUDO @ 8

He took the name Ezeudo after his Godfather, Dr Godwin Chinedum Duru, Ezeudo II of Amucha, former Executive Chairman Aba South in whose tenure he surfaced exactly on 3rd February, 2005, Ezeudo Kelechi Jnr. is the first son of Kelechi Amucha and Ebele Nwankwo. The name Ezeudo means "King of Peace" His arrival was a prediction to end a  relational conflict and effect a change.

 O God, our times are in your hand:
Look with favor,
we pray, on your child, Ezeudo,
as he begins another year. Grant
that he may grow in wisdom and grace,
and strengthen his trust in your goodness
all the days of his life; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
