Draw Inspiration from Holy Trinity, Foster “unity, harmony” as Christian Family Life “pillars”: Kenyan Bishop to Couples

“Do not tire or complain of the challenges but take them positively while promoting unity at home, workplaces and (in) the country at large,” he said in his May 26 homily at Holy Trinity Buruburu Parish, where he presided over Holy Mass for the Parish’s annual Family Day and solemnized the marriage of five couples.

Bishop Kamomoe called upon spouses to “appreciate” each other, adding that “by so doing, you will be confirming your choice.”

He also encouraged couple to turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance on bringing up the children they bear in the right way.

The relationship of mutual love among persons of the Holy Trinity should be a source of inspiration for married couples, the Kenyan Catholic Bishop said, and cautioned against resorting to revenge.

Turning his attention to children, Bishop Kamomoe emphasized the need for respect. “Let us always respect our parents,” he said.
