A Miraculous Day: Reunion, Redemption, and Divine Invitation. It was a day of miracles, a Sunday like no other. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for God’s blessings in my life, especially after the incident that occurred on that ominous Friday morning, the 13th of October, 2023. As I pen down my thoughts, I am still in the process of recovery, but I can’t wait to share the full details of this remarkable day with you, my dear readers.

But first, let me take you back to a sensational event in Kano State, an event that shattered expectations and left us in awe.

This morning, my wife and I did something we hadn’t done in a long time. We attended church together. It was a powerful reunion that filled our hearts with hope and joy. In my upcoming write-up, I will reveal the heartwarming story of how I reconnected with my beloved wife. Stay tuned, dear readers, for an emotional and uplifting narrative.

On Sundays, our spiritual journey leads us through three readings, the First from the Old Testament, the Second from the New Testament, and the third from the Gospels, sourced from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Today, being the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we followed this sacred path:

This Sunday, we had three significant readings, each carrying a message of its own. The first reading, from Isaiah 25:6-10, spoke of a future filled with hope and salvation. The responsorial psalm, Psalms 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6, reminded us of God’s unwavering presence in our lives. The second reading, from Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20, emphasized the importance of contentment and trust in the Lord. Finally, the Gospel reading, from Matthew 22:1-14, held a profound message that touched my heart.

We gathered at Saint Peter’s Parish and after the 10 a.m. Mass, fellow parishioners and friends extended their warm congratulations to me. It was a moment of shared happiness that lifted our spirits.

But the essence of today’s narrative lies in the powerful homily delivered by Fr. Dominic Udosen, with Very Rev Fr. Domingo Inyang as the Chief Celebrant. Amidst the words of wisdom and spiritual guidance, there was one message that resonated with me deeply, the message of an inviting King.

In the Gospel of Saint Matthew, we heard the parable of a King who invited his friends to a grand banquet, only to have them decline his invitation. Undeterred, the King instructed his servants to invite anyone they could find. And, dear readers, I was among those invited.

You may be wondering what these words truly signify, but I promise to explain in detail in my forthcoming write-up. This Sunday was a revelation of redemption, a reminder that even when we face rejection, God’s invitation remains open to all who seek His grace and love.

This story, titled “A Miraculous Day: Reunion, Redemption, and Divine Invitation, was a remarkable day filled with blessings and divine revelations. It chronicles the beautiful events of a memorable Sunday that brought healing and restoration, underscored by a powerful message from the Gospel of Matthew. I look forward to sharing the full story with you, my dear readers.
