Fellow parents,
The effects of the Kenyan strikes have started
manifesting. It is evident that we have failed to take care of our
children and have left them at the mercy of the teachers and house
helps. During the strike our children involved in so many activities
some of which are so detrimental to them, we as parents pretended to be
so busy to even attend to their social and other needs; many of them
went ahead to look for what they lacked from their parents in the wrong
place and people; the end results? When all is said and done; now some
parents have resorted to take their own children to abortion clinics in
the name of correcting a mistake they should have avoided by bringing up
their children in good morals and the fear of the Lord. What are we
doing to ourselves? What are we doing to our families and generations to
come? What are we doing to our society? Do we really know the effects
of these actions?
As a pro-lifer it is so painful to be quiet about
the great number of innocent unborn children butchered/sacrificed at the
altars of abortion. I echo the word of mother Teresa as I quote her, “I
feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it
is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child,
murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill
even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one
another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always,
we must persuade her with love and we remind ourselves that love means
to be willing to give until it hurts… Any country that accepts abortion
is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what
they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is
abortion. Abortion is a rejection of the teachings of Christ himself who
taught that those who receive a little child receive him. Every
abortion is a refusal to receive a little child therefore a refusal to
receive Jesus”
Just as the blood of Abel cried out to God from the
ground for vengeance, the blood of these innocent children are crying
out to God. How do we escape the wrath of God that is called for by our
iniquities? Did we know that our hands are full of blood therefore the
Lord has hidden His face from us? If you have never procured an abortion
and thinking to do so please don’t, and if you have procured one please
repent and try as much as you can to promote life in whatever ways you
can. Like the people of Nineveh, we tear our hearts and not our garment
to return to the Lord who will show us His mercy. O God, save us.
Today, be an ambassador of life; save that child who is at the risk of
an abortion at this moment. Medical practitioners you took an oath to
protect life, please be faithful to this oath. The church must lead by
example so that morality and good values may be embraced. Parents let’s
take up our roles in the family as appropriate; fathers must stand up to
be counted as heads of the families, a mother cannot forget the child
of her breast, what has happened to mothers of today? For those who feel
not loved, God loves you in a special way. Just surrender to Him and
you will experience the great love of Jesus which is selfless and
everlasting, a love that leads to eternal life.
Ever repenting sinner,
Steve Philomena
