\u201cThrough your vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, you proclaim that God alone is sufficient and that his light is stronger than any darkness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs little Sisters of St. Francis remain faithful to your charism of gospel simplicity, of joyful poverty and trust in providence, of deep prayer and Eucharistic devotion, of love for the poor, the wounded and the forgotten of peace, humility and fraternity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
At the celebration, some 12 Sisters made their Perpetual vows while 13 celebrated their Silver Jubilee, two their Golden Jubilee, and the six 60 years of Religious life.<\/p>\n
The Archbishop urged all the Sisters to remain faithful to the Lord even amid challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Sisters, the journey you begin or continue today will not always be easy. You will encounter many trials, fatigue, misunderstandings, and temptations, but never forget the star that led you here. The star will not deceive you, it will guide you along the right path,\u201d Archbishop Ssemogerere said.<\/p>\n
The Local Ordinary of Kampala urged members of LSOSF to put in practice their vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity in their daily lives, saying,\u00a0 \u201cLet your lives preach the gospel not only in words but above all in deeds.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Archbishop assured the Sisters that their vocation is \u201cnot an escape from the world\u201d but a light of the world, reminding them that it is not by their own merit but God\u2019s grace, that they were celebrating Religious life.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is God\u2019s grace that has brought you this far. The Lord chose you, set you apart, and entrusted you with the sacred mission. Your lives are meant to be the visible sign of God\u2019s love for the world. You are channels of God\u2019s grace in a wounded world. Let the words spoken to Mary strengthen you always. Do not be afraid, for you have found favor with God; nothing is impossible with God,\u201d Archbishop Ssemogerere said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear Sisters in your profession, you surrender yourselves to God with Christ and humility, welcoming his plan for your lives. You serve the Lord wholeheartedly, restoring human dignity, revealing God\u2019s mercy and giving hope to the world thirsting for love,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Archbishop urged Sisters to not only serve the world but also live a life centered on Jesus Christ through adoration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThrough your vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, you proclaim that God alone is sufficient and that his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[645,647,646,153],"class_list":{"0":"post-8884","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uganda","8":"tag-article","9":"tag-cna","10":"tag-keyword","11":"tag-uganda"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8884","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=8884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
