\u201cIt is not about saying, ‘call me father\u2019, yet your children and your wife are suffering and begging. Go and pay school fees so that you may be called father,\u201d he said, urging men to learn from God about loving children.<\/p>\n
He prayed for men who have abandoned their families, asking the Holy Spirit to inspire them to take responsibility for their children. \u201cMay the Holy Spirit descend upon you, men who have abandoned your children, who have fathered children and then run away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On good leadership, the Kenyan Church leader underscored the need to embrace truth at all times, cautioning against dishonesty.<\/p>\n
He described lies as destructive to individuals and society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are the Ten Commandments of God, but the most important, according to me, is the eighth,\u201d he said, and added, \u201cYou cannot break any of the Ten Commandments without breaking the eighth. The eighth says \u2018do not lie\u2019. If you see someone breaking the eighth commandment, they are breaking all the commandments.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA liar breaks all the commandments. If you falsely accuse someone, you destroy their reputation, you destroy their job, you destroy their marriage\u2026 Lies are not good,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Regarding fairness in good leadership, the Catholic Church leader called on all Kenyan leaders to serve everyone, including the sick, poor, and prisoners, without discrimination or self-interest.<\/p>\n
Bishop Kadima said the Sacrament of Confirmation empowers both those receiving the sacrament and those already confirmed to live responsibly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sacrament of Confirmation is a sacrament of maturity, of responsibility, of leadership. It is leadership, it is responsibility, it is maturity,\u201d the Bishop said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have come here to pray that those who are being confirmed today, and we who were confirmed earlier, may receive these graces of the Holy Spirit so that we may take responsibility in our lives. That we may be good leaders so that we may offer good service to our fellow Christians,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt is not about saying, ‘call me father\u2019, yet your children and your wife are suffering and begging.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7746,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[645,647,80,646],"class_list":{"0":"post-7745","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kenya","8":"tag-article","9":"tag-cna","10":"tag-kenya","11":"tag-keyword"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
