Prayer Intentions:
Father, you are just in whatever judgment you give to our brother Francis for, he sinned against you. We beg of you that for the sake of the sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the glory of your name, treat him according to the greatness of your mercy.
Father, your power is shown through your forgiveness and mercy; we pray that you empower this fatherless family of Nkuo, with the grace to be worthy heirs to these rich heavenly treasures of mercy.
We pray for the grace that our family and the families of the world may emulate Francis by being sensitive to the needs of those around us; be appreciative in the use of our blessings and take advantage of opportunities to help where we can.
For the foundation our parents laid based on baptism making us children of heaven; we pray Jesus, that as we journey through life we may not fall prey to the doctrinal errors of faith. May the Precious Blood of Christ cover us always and purge our lineage from all curses and from idols formed by our desires blocking the goodness of God!
As we face the challenging situations of ill health, injustices as well as in all those we are tempted to despise; hear the cry of those suffering in their body and in their soul, those who have lost all hope; that they may all rely on you to satisfy the needs you put in their hearts.
May the Lord welcome all the deceased members of the Nkuo’s into His peace; convert the hearts of the violent, who worry only about material wellbeing, that they may hunger only to inherit the Lord Himself; and comfort the living with an empowered and guided leadership that decreases for Christ to increase.
Behold we stand before You, Lord Jesus, denouncing all the evil practices of our ancestors. We plead the waters of our baptism to flow back on all past generations of our family tree, reconciling all our ancestors with Your Father so as to liberate us from all family chains.
O Mary, Mother of Christian Charity, we commit all painful sufferings and injustices that Francis bore while on earth that you purify them in the Precious Blood of Jesus, bless the Lord for them and offer them to the Eternal Father, for the conversion of lukewarm Christians in the family, for the sanctification of consecrated souls, and for the liberation of souls in Purgatory and the consolation of the suffering.
Words of consolation
Clement Ossima: crying and waling will not change anything. It has happened. It is normal to cry for the loss but don’t remain there, look forward.
Judith Abegley: Just like Jesus’ death, we are to celebrate his life looking forward to how we can continue with what he was doing.
Charles Ndo: Francis was too inquisitive to a fault to know details about his medical situation.
Theodora: In our last conversation over the phone, he said: the doctor told me that whenever I shall notice my ailment moving downwards towards my legs, know that it is the end. This is what I am feeling now.
Josepha Nain: I see him smiling. I am consoled.
Sylvia Wallang: Tears of the family always flow in the confines of the home! How can this be when the roof of the house has been torn apart?
Ndichia Primus:
Bro, your time as destined by the Lord finally came.
In life you braved accidents, illnesses and poisons yet, it was not
the moment. Now that it has finally come, we thank God for permitting it;
we also thank God especially for the bonus' of life!
Sr. Bridget Nkuo:
Whenever I think about the family convent without its provider and care taker, I am scared. The pride of belonging has been shattered - of a holiday lodge, a sabbatical home, a rest apartment. Thanks be to God for stripping me of all so as to fill me with His all.
