Catholic Archbishop in Kenya Tells Couples to Stop Postponing Sacrament of Marriage

“Use the adoration chapel to promote marriage by praying that those who still find it difficult to solemnize their marriage in the Church may receive God’s grace to do so,” said the Catholic Archbishop who has been at the helm of Nairobi Archdiocese since November 2021.

Archbishop Anyolo urged the Priests at the Kenyan Parish not to tire of encouraging marriages and through adoration.

He called for the adoration of the chapel by all people, saying, “Encourage your children to come and worship here in the adoration. What we can do to thank God is to utilize this adoration chapel.”

The Kenyan Archbishop emphasized the significance of Jesus Christ's Kingship, particularly as revealed in the Eucharist.

“Christ's Kingship is intricately woven into our hearts and profoundly intertwined with every aspect of our lives, extending its influence to our families and the endeavors we pursue,” Archbishop Anyolo said.

The 66-year-old Kenyan Archbishop who started his Episcopal Ministry in February 1996 as the Local Ordinary of Kenya’s Kericho Diocese regretted that material possessions have blinded people thereby driving them away from Christ.

“Good health, enough children, and property should not lead us into ignoring Jesus Christ. When we ignore Him, He moves out of our lives and we enter into problems,” the Kenyan Archbishop said in his December 1 homily.
