SR HELENA MKAKA CELEBRATES GOLDEN JUBILEE IN CONSECRATED LIFE

It is well said that ‘It’s gratifying to serve God joyfully and with dedication‘. Such was a point of departure for Fr. Joseph Kimu’s homily on the occasion of 50th anniversary in consecrated life of Rev. Sr. Helena Mkaka of the congregation of Sisters of the Divine Providence on Saturday, 9th June, 2018 at St. Augustine Cathedral in the Diocese of Mangochi – Malawi. Quoting great men and women of History in the Church such as Ss. Paul the Apostle, John Paul II and Mother Teresa of Calcutta, he repeatedly compared vocational life to a book that is written each day and every moment and that the chapters being either desirable experiences worthy drawing lessons from or trash to be regretted. In vocational life, one is in search for meaning of one’s life. Thru and thru, Fr Kimu underscored three virtues of humility, faith and perseverance to be strong pillars to a well lived vocational life
