Catholic legislators had a great spiritual light during their induction workshop organized by the Parliamentary Catholic Chaplaincy.
The workshop was graced by over 40 MPs aimed at mobilizing the catholic legislators with the roles and activities of the Chaplaincy that among others included, carrying out weekly Eucharistic mass, outreach programmes for the needy, mobilizing support towards church projects and organizing retreats.
Rev. Fr. Raymond Kalanzi, a Charistic priest and director of Radio Maria who graced the induction training presided over a Holy Mass where he gave the MPs three main takeaways to smoothen their stay at Parliament.
Kalanzi advised the MPs to set their boundaries and desist being predictable if they are to become legislators that God wants them to be.
“Success in everything you do is defined by how you set boundaries to your life. As leaders, don’t be predictable in everything you do,” Kalanzi said.
He told them to balance their work schedule appropriately with their social and family life.
“For the time you have been in that constituency, you must set your boundaries and say today I am going home to my husband and become a good wife,” said Kalanzi.
He added that successfully people know how to set their boundaries by having time for work and social life.
Kalanzi advised MPs to not only set their boundaries, but also mark and protect their territories saying it is not against the principle of humility.
“In leadership, you should learn to mark your territories. Humble people are not stupid; God gave you that territory you must mark it by fighting the devil,” he said.
Kalanzi also urged the MPs to learn to celebrate their victories by sparing time to socialise and rejoice with people that matter in their lives in order to uplift their souls.
Rev. Fr. Pontian Kaweesa, the Chaplain of the Parliamentary Catholic Chaplaincy has urged the MPs and staff to turn the Chaplaincy into their spiritual power house by joining them for Mass every Tuesday.
The Parliamentary catholic chaplaincy that is currently chaired by Hon Lucy Akello was established in 2001 in order to promote catholic spirit and identity among MPs and staff.
