I trust this letter finds you well. First and foremost, allow me to thank you for your dedication to guiding God’s people and for always sharing words that spark meaningful conversations. Your advice to men, encouraging them to emulate St. Joseph by avoiding DNA tests and trusting in God, has stirred many hearts and minds, including mine.

A Rib Restored: The Divine Union of Agaba Moses and Lillian Nkamwesiga at St Augustine Chapel Makerere University.. By Davis Owomugisha

Image
The Wedding Homily of Agaba Moses and Nkamwesiga Lillian by Fr. Abel Beinomugisha "God loves you," Fr. Abel Beinomugisha began, a reminder of the profound love that has guided Moses and Lillian to this sacred moment. Drawing from the first reading in Genesis, he reflected on God's creation of man in His image and His declaration that it was not good for man to be alone. God, in His wisdom, sought to provide a helper for man, starting with animals and other creations, yet none were found suitable as a companion. This preparation underscored the unique value of humanity. The beautiful detail of woman being formed from man’s rib reveals God’s intention for unity and complementarity in marriage. Adam’s joyful exclamation, "This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh," was a declaration of thanksgiving to God. Similarly, today, Moses rejoices in finding his rib, and Lillian celebrates finding where she truly belongs. Together, they have come to the alt...
