An Act of Spiritual Communion
Since members of the public shall not be able to receive Holy Communion, let each one of us make an act of Spiritual Communion composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori; “My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.” Amen. 7. A Prayer In…
Homily for Monday, Sixth Week of Easter
Reading Acts 16:11-15 Jn 15:26-16:4a In the gospel reading this morning, Jesus expresses concern lest the faith of his disciples might be shaken. He shows an awareness that suffering is likely to come their way, in the form of persecution and hostility, and suffering might be undermining of their faith in him. The words of Jesus to his disciples can speak to our experience. Various experiences can shake our own faith. Some personal suffering, the efforts of others to undermine our faith, the failures of people of faith whom we trusted – all of these experiences, and many others could…
#Covid19 has redefined banking. Are you ready?
Lots of changes have happened in banking. Internet and mobile banking have redefined banking convenience. It is no longer a battle of who has the biggest head office and branch network.

Modern banks have gone beyond a software…

It has changed the way we live. No close contact with friends amid restricted movements. It has changed the way we work. For many, from offices to home. We deliver remotely. It has changed the way teams gather, the way we communicate and connect. Today, onsite events and meetings have turned into virtual ones. Global gatherings are no longer physical, but virtual. #covid19 has changed our living spaces. Homes have…
Local vs. foreign investment, frustrations of doing business part 4
There is a mentality that foreign investors are better than local ones in my African countries. With rampant corruption, most officers prefer to work with ‘foreign’ companies for several reasons. They get the opportunity to travel abroad (to the offices of foreign companies) to ‘confirm’ a few things. This has a lot of benefits to them including travel allowances and kickbacks. For example, several local companies offer excellent translation services. However, what happens is that Ugandans prefer to go for foreign companies who in most cases outsource the services to the local firms at very low cost which is exploitative.…
