PAPA AWASILI VISIWA VYA LESBOS UGIRIKI KWA ZIARA YA KITUME.

-
Pope Francis has kicked off his pastoral visit to the Greek Island of Lesbos to meet with refugees.
This morning at 7 a.m., Pope Francis and his papal entourage and journalists departed  from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport, and a little after 10 a.m. local time, ten minutes earlier then expected, they arrived at Mytilene International Airport. On the flight over, the Pontiff sent telegrams to heads of states of the countries over which he was flying, including to Italian president Sergio Mattarella.
On the same day as this visit to show solidarity with refugees, the Pope sent out the following tweet: ‘Refugees are not numbers, they are people who have faces, names, stories, and need to be treated as such.’
During a welcome ceremony, the Holy Father was received by the Prime Minister; by Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew; His Beatitude Ieronymos, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, and, soon after, Msgr. Fragkiskos Papamanolis, president of the Greek Episcopal Conference.
After the welcoming ceremony in the presence of civil authorities and the Churches, in an airport lounge, the Pope met privately Prime Minister Tsipras during which he expressed his gratitude to the Greek people, “the cradle of humanity.”
Greece, the Holy Father said, “continues to give an example of humanity” and “boldly show this generosity.”
According to a note from Fr. Federico Lombardi, director of the Holy See Press Office, the main topic discussed during the meeting was the crisis of refugees and migrants, and in particular the situation on the island of Lesbos. It was stressed that the refugee crisis is a European and international problem that requires a comprehensive response that respects the European and international laws.
The Pope, the Vatican spokesman stated, appreciated the humane attitude of the Greek people, that despite the tough economic situation, they have shown solidarity and commitment to universal values. In addition, the need to protect people from risking their lives crossing the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean was emphasized, along with the need to fight human trafficking.
The Pope’s visit today includes traveling to the Moria Refugee Camp, where some 2,500 have taken refuge, with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and His Beatitude Ieronymos, Archbishop of Athens and all of Greece. There, the Pope and patriarchs will give discourses, and later the religious leaders will sign a joint declaration and have lunch with refugees.

Na Charles Rwehumbiza UINJILISHAJI BAGAMOYO NA TANZANIA KWA UJUMLA Kutokea Bagamoyo, wamisionari wa Shirika la Roho Mtakatifu waliweza kuendelea kuinjilisha sehemu mbalimbali za Tanzania kama vile Mhonda (Morogoro), Mandera (Morogoro), Kilema Kibosho (Moshi) na Kondoa, n.k. Kutokana na ugumu wa watu wa Bagamoyo kukubali Injili na uamuzi wa wamisionari wenye asili ya Uholanzi kuhamia Morogoro mjini.  Bagamoyo iliachwa kwa kipindi kirefu bila huduma za mapadri au wakiwa wanapata  huduma ya Misa Takatifu  mara moja kwa mwezi. Jambo hili lilisababisha ukuaji wa Kanisa la Bagamoyo kuwa duni sana hadi mwaka 1992 padri mwafrika wa kwanza alipoingia na kuweka makazi ya kudumu Bagamoyo.  Padri huyu wa kwanza mwafrika kuinjilisha Bagamoyo sio mwingine ila Padrei Valentine Bayo wa Shirika la Roho Mtakatifu. Tangu aingie Bagamoyo, Padri Bayo chini ya usimamizi wa shirika lake, ameweza kuipa Bagamoyo hadhi iliyo nayo leo hii. Hakika haitakuwa vibaya kumwita Padri Bayo “ Baba wa Uinjilish

HISTORIA YA SHEREHE YA MOYO MTAKATIFU WA YESU

  Na Philip Komba Utangulizi:   Ibada ya Moyo Mtakatifu wa Yesu ni moja ya ibada zinazojulikana sana katika Kanisa Katoliki. Ibada hii inauona Moyo wa Kibinadamu wa Yesu kama mwakilishi wa Mapendo yake ya Kimungu kwa wanadamu , na Kanisa nayo inaiona kama Mapendo na Huruma ya Yesu kwa wanadamu wote. Ibada ya Moyo Mtakatifu wa Yesu imefikia hatua hii tunayoishuhudia leo kutokana na maelekezo ya Mtakatifu Margareta Maria Alakok aliyejifunza uendelezaji wake wakati alipokuwa anatokewa na Yesu kwa mfululizo kati ya mwaka 1673 na mwaka 1675. Mtawa mwingine tena, Mwenyeheri Maria wa Moyo Mtakatifu (1863-1899), kutoka Chama cha Kitawa cha Mchungaji Mwema huko Ujerumani, aliisisimkia sana ibada hii baada ya kuwa na mazungumzo ya ana kwa ana na Yesu na akawahi hata kumwomba Papa Leo XIII, autolee ulimwengu wote kwa Moyo Mtakatifu wa Yesu kama alivyotumwa na Yesu. Wakati wa kipindi cha enzi ya kati, watangulizi wa ibada hii mpya, walijitokeza kutoka sehem
