Pope Francis to pray at John Paul II's tomb with kids who have cancer

-
Vatican City, Jul 26, 2016 / 02:59 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Before taking off for WYD in Krakow, Pope Francis will pray at the tomb of St. John Paul II alongside children who have cancer, and will bring their prayers to Poland in order to ask the nation's saint for healing.
According to a July 26 statement from Italian nonprofit Peter Pan, which works with children who have cancer and their families, members of the association will “share a moment of prayer” with Pope Francis July 27 before he flies to Krakow for World Youth Day.
According to the statement, they “will ask the Holy Father to bring with him to WYD the prayers of the families of children and adolescents who are ill, and to unite them to those of the youth, who come from all over the world, and to his own, so that with the intercession of St. John Paul II, these children can be restored to health.”
Founded in Rome in 2000, Peter Pan is a volunteer association and was born from the desire of a group of parents with children suffering from cancer who wanted to offer other families concrete support in facing the difficult experience of illness.
The association provides houses and welcome for families who don’t live in Rome, but who come to treat their children in the city's hospitals, particularly the Bambino Gesu and the Policlinico Umberto I.
The association continues their work with the help of their nearly 200 volunteers, as well as through the donations of individuals and agencies.
During the celebration of Wednesday’s Mass, Fr. Cielecki, a Pole, will light two candles, one of which contains the image of the Merciful Jesus and was blessed by him in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, while the other shows the face of St. John Paul II and was blessed in the saint’s hometown of Wadowice.
  
In addition to Wednesday’s Mass and prayer with Pope Francis, intercessory prayer will take place at St. John Paul II’s tomb every day from July 28-31 so as to be “in communion with the Holy Father, who will be praying in Krakow with the youth of WYD,” as well as for all who are sick, including the families and children involved in Peter Pan.

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
