PEACE EQUALS LIFE

IMCS PAX ROMANA PAX GHANA PEACE PROJECT (PAGHAPP) MESSAGE FOR THIS YEAR, 2016

“The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you” (Isaiah 54:10).

Peace is a necessity. 
It is a prerequisite to every final decision and step that to be taken. What more could a community search for? We as a people can fend for ourselves, if they leaders (political parties) believe we need assistance in these days, then it should not be on disguised conditions. In those days and months past, they had much more room to have supported us to make our livelihood better. We know the difference between the sunlight and lanterns. Whereas they pretended not to have been aware of our various needs over the years, we cannot compromise now.

Please do not make the generation suffer your nuisance and negligence. Over the years, our leaders in Ghana have in one or another, maltreated and denied us the citizens of our better life conditions. Pride has eaten deep into the bones of the entire government, so whoever gets into that company gets affected. There can be changes that help to stop the decay and rots. And that is an act of injustice and infringement on our freedom and liberty to enjoy our good life. 

Brothers and sisters, we are not baits to be used to catch their fish. We can go to the sea but they have hijacked our equipment.  Let’s not be deceived by the evaporated milk they spill all over the place when we grew up surviving on breast milk. I meant to say, we have come too far to be misled towards condemnation. We have survived all the harsh conditions up to this day, so these baseless and weightless promises cannot sustain us far enough. The gifts and other things they display would never stabilize our life situations, they are the passing moments.

My fellow Ghanaians, if they intend to change our lives, they should have responsibly and selflessly begun when they were not demanding for our votes. Let us bear in mind that our vote is our Godly right. I believe elections are platforms to endorse the person who has been responsible and can continue to take full responsibility unconditionally to affect lives positively. Therefore, let us not follow blindly and sell our freedom to people who have rehearsed to exploit us. It is about time we stop jubilating for what is our right to possess.

Therefore, we the catholic youth from all the tertiary institutions in the country under the auspices of the IMCS Pax Romana, Ghana Federation; are reechoing the beats of every voice in Ghana about peace, peace, and peace everywhere in the coming election year. I believe we have ever experienced peace in our hearts. And so to continue enjoying such feeling that makes everything balanced in its position, let us restrain from actions and sayings that would stain such a wonderful peace.  

There’s no difference amongst us, all our names and tribes are for mere identification. Simply put, the blood running to and fro our veins is of one color (red) and so much evidence of the oneness we share. To everyone in the limelight, we know you know peace intimately. As such, live for it because it is divine from God to all men and women of all races. Remember that if you mess our lives up, God will mess you down.

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...

PEN

This isn’t an acronym. It is a powerful tool. It is blunt but has altered the patterns of history with unequivocal writing success. It has survived all the defining moments through the centuries Ranging from the early reed, quills, and dip pens to the contemporary ballpoint, fountain, and felt pens. History has it that, all users demand a special pen based on the pending purpose of use There is this status symbol attached to any kind of pen that has ever been manufactured. M. Klein and H. W. Wynne had received a US patent for the fountain in 1867. But as early as the 10 th century, the pen had existed.  And until this day, it has metamorphosed through many phases and designs. One of my favourites and most used pen from the 20 th to this century has been Michaels Bich’s Bic pen that was invented in the 1950s. It is simply elegant and mighty. The sword could see itself sharp but the pen is supreme. Talk of brainstorming sessions that led to generati...

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...
