It was awesome too when our pastor delivered his homily this morning. Citing the exact coincidence of present plight of our clergy and the martydom of St.Charles Lwanga. Oh! if only some of the present day clergy would recognize their propensity towards that lifestyle would truly repent or else step away from their calling, which probably was a misnomer to say the least.

The chaplain at my children's school is a grad student from Uganda. When he said Mass this morning it was a wonderful thing. He wore his bright red vestments and told the children about the martyrdom of these saints from his homeland. I feel so blessed that holy priests from Afirca are now missionaries in our pagan land! Uganda has good and holy priests and plenty of vocations. Amen. I pray our next pope is from Africa. We have much to learn from those whose lives are not luxrious as the lives of even "poor" Americans are by conparison.
