Nairobi, 13 May, 2022 / 9:01 pm (ACI Africa).
The Chaplain of the Kenya National Council of Catholic Women (KNCCW) has called upon Catholic women across the globe to follow the example of Jesus Christ, serving all people without discriminating anyone based on social, economic, religious or any other distinguishing factors.
In his Thursday, May 12 homily, Fr. Elias Muriithi who was addressing participants in the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations (WUCWO) workshop that brought together its members in Africa in Nairobi underscored the need to reach out to needy members of society.
“Service is important; Christ himself served; he washed the feet of the apostles and instructed them to do the same. So, my dear mothers, we are here to serve, serve each and everybody, the sick, the vulnerable, the poor, serve them,” Fr. Muriithi said.
The Chaplain of KNCCW added, “Don’t discriminate; Christ did not discriminate; he served all including the Samaritan woman who didn’t know him. So, let us serve without discrimination.”
The Kenyan Catholic Priest underlined the importance of sharing, saying that it is part of service. He encouraged Catholic women across the globe to use their diverse nationalities to share with each other the happenings in their respective countries, adding that sharing events is an act of oneness.
