The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Bungoma, Kenya, Rt. Rev. Bishop Mark Kadima Wamukoya, has called on Catholics to pray fervently for God’s blessings and favor.
Bishop Kadima, who accompanied pilgrims from Kenya, joined thousands of Christians at St. Jude Thaddeus Church, Naguru, to commemorate the 71st National Day of St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of desperate and lost causes.
During the Eucharistic celebration, Bishop Kadima emphasized that prayer nurtures a deeper, personal relationship with God, offering peace, comfort, and fostering personal growth and inner transformation.
He encouraged pilgrims, saying that prayer reduces anxiety, strengthens confidence in God, and provides guidance to navigate life’s challenges.
Bishop Kadima further urged everyone celebrating the 71st anniversary of St. Jude Thaddeus to place their trust in the saint, assuring that their prayers, combined with acts of charity and love, will be answered.
