Nairobi, 23 January, 2024 / 9:25 pm (ACI Africa).
There is need for Christians to continually seek to remain close to God through attentiveness to His Word, Archbishop Anthony Muheria of Kenya’s Catholic Archdiocese of Nyeri has said.
In his homily at Consolata Shrine, Westlands in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi on January 21, Sunday of the Word of God, Archbishop Muheria used the images of a “magnet” and a “compass” to caution Christians against undermining the continued search for God through His Word.
“The problem is that we Christians have lost the magnetism of our Christianity. We have let ourselves become mediocre magnets; if the compass that is a little magnet loses direction, then we get lost with it as Christians,” he said.
Such a loss of direction, the Kenyan Catholic Archbishop said, “happens with us because we don’t spend much time magnetizing ourselves with God; we don’t even know our North or our South because we have lost direction and magnetism.”
“Due to this reason, we become mixed up with a lot of happenings without any direction and we cannot give the world or ourselves or our children any direction because we don’t know where we are going,” he explained.
