May 2024 Senatus meeting – Senatus of Uganda (original) (raw)
In the allocutio based on the Spiritual reading taken from the Legion of Mary Handbook Chapter 18, Section 3, titled “The Meeting opens”, Page 107 “The meeting opens with the invocation and prayer to the Holy Spirit, who is the source of that Grace, that Life, that Love, of which we rejoice to regard Mary as the channel,” Rev Fr John Bosco Batiika reminded us that Mary is the channel through which the Holy Spirit brings his gifts to Her children. The Holy Spirit is the source of grace love and life.
In the correspondence from Concilium, they deeply appreciate all the extension work that Senatus is carrying out in Gulu, Kotido and Moroto dioceses, as well as the islands, South Sudan and now Ethiopia.
