I find myself in Langata at 4pm with my sis....so mmmm, why not visit our
old church St Michaels?? Good idea!!!!…so off we go
Challenge is, there are so many buildings that have
mushroomed here until we are not sure of the route anymore. After getting to deadends, we finally
decide to drive through Ngei estate via Otiende, and it all starts coming back
to me. I wonder how we walked all the way to this church….its seems far away
from where we lived…..my sis reckons
that since that was the only option we had, we had to get to it! As we drive slowly
through Ngei, she points at a house where her friend stayed and she says maybe
her folks still stay there – and what do you know, a lady at the gate with a
head full of silver/white hair is looking at something across the road, and my
sis say, alar, that’s her mum!!
The church looks pretty much the same! We say a prayer
inside and take a walk around it….not too big. The guards must be wondering,
eh, and what do these women want on this odd Thursday afternoon?? One guy
actually follows us into the church…can never be too sure these days, cant
blame him. There is a secondary school next to the church…doesn’t look familiar….
We take some photos
I recall a Priest who used to take us to Safari Park hotel
(before it was renovated) for swimming on Saturdays or was in Sundays?? Not sure
anymore….goodness, that was YEARS ago!! The mama who used to sing loudly and off key? i probably am that Mama now!! hehehehehe
My sis recalls singing in the choir and that she is still in
touch with some friends from the choir, wow
Very major #TBT for us!!!!
Prayer to St Michael, the Arch Angel
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
That's a great recount of the day truly God bless St. Michaels Parish
