Reading 1, First Corinthians 3:18-23

¹⁸ There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards must learn to be a fool in order to be really wise.
¹⁹ For the wisdom of the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of their own cunning
²⁰ and again: The Lord knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are.
²¹ So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you,
²² whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future -- all belong to you;
²³ but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 24:1-2, 3-4, 5-6

¹ [Psalm Of David] To Yahweh belong the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live there;
² it is he who laid its foundations on the seas, on the flowing waters fixed it firm.
³ Who shall go up to the mountain of Yahweh? Who shall take a stand in his holy place?
⁴ The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose heart is not set on vanities, who does not swear an oath in order to deceive.
⁵ Such a one will receive blessing from Yahweh, saving justice from the God of his salvation.
⁶ Such is the people that seeks him, that seeks your presence, God of Jacob.

Gospel, Luke 5:1-11

¹ Now it happened that he was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing round him listening to the word of God,
² when he caught sight of two boats at the water's edge. The fishermen had got out of them and were washing their nets.
³ He got into one of the boats -- it was Simon's -- and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
⁴ When he had finished speaking he said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a catch.'
⁵ Simon replied, 'Master, we worked hard all night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I will pay out the nets.'
⁶ And when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear,
⁷ so they signalled to their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, they filled both boats to sinking point.
⁸ When Simon Peter saw this he fell at the knees of Jesus saying, 'Leave me, Lord; I am a sinful man.'
⁹ For he and all his companions were completely awestruck at the catch they had made;
¹⁰ so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. But Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on it is people you will be catching.'
¹¹ Then, bringing their boats back to land they left everything and followed him.

St. Giles, Abbot (Patron of Physically Disabled) Feast day - September 1
St. Giles is said to have been a seventh century Athenian of noble birth. His piety and learning made him so conspicuous and an object of such admiration in his own country that, dreading praise and longing for a hidden life, he left his home and sailed for France. At first he took up his abode in a wilderness near the mouth of the Rhone river, afterward near the river Gard, and, finally, in the diocese of Nimes.
He spend many years in solitude conversing only with God. The fame of his miracles became so great that his reputation spread throughout France. He was highly esteemed by the French king, but he could not be prevailed upon to forsake his solitude. He admitted several disciples, however, to share it with him. He founded a monastery, and established an excellent discipline therein. In succeeding ages it embraced the rule of St. Benedict. St. Giles died probably in the beginning of the eighth century, about the year 724.

Ukosefu wa losheni za albino waua watano Tanzania.

NA OSCAR ASSENGA, TANGA-Tanzania.Gazeti Mtanzania.

KATIBU wa Chama cha Watu Wenye Albino Mkoa wa Tanga (TAS), Mahamudu Salehe, amesema ukosefu wa losheni za kuzuia mionzi ya jua kwa jamii hiyo kumesababisha vifo vya watu watano vinavyotokana na kansa ya ngozi.
Alisema vifo hivyo vimetokea kwa kipindi cha miaka mitano iliyopita mkoani hapa jambo ambalo linapaswa kuchukuliwa hatua stahiki kukabiliana nalo kwa vitendo ili kuiwezesha jamii hiyo kuweza kutimiza malengo yao.
Salehe aliyasema hayo jana wakati akipokea msaada wa mabati na misumari kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa ofisi yao kutoka kwa Katibu wa Chama cha Waganga na Wakunga wa Tiba Asilia mkoani hapa (UWAWATA), Jumaa Lukuwa.
“Lakini pia kukosekana kwa matibabu ya kudumu kwenye wilaya mbalimbali mkoani Tanga ndiyo chanzo cha vifo vya jamii hiyo kwani wakati wa uhitaji wake unapochelewa wanaweza kupoteza maisha, hivyo tunaiomba jamii na Serikali kuangalia namna ya kutusaidia ili vipatikane,” alisema.
Akizungumzia msaada waliotoa, Lukuwa alisema ni kwa ajili ya kuiwezesha jamii ya albino kuondokana na changamoto zilizokuwa zikiwakabili, lakini pia kutoa fursa ya kuweza kufanya shughuli zao kwa ufanisi.
Alisema licha ya hivyo, lakini pia wamefanya hivyo kuisaidia jamii hiyo kuweza kutekeleza vema majukumu yao ya kuwaelimisha wananchi juu ya mauaji ya watu wenye ulemavu wa ngozi na wakunga ili hali hiyo iweze kutokomezwa kwenye jamii.
“Lakini pia tutashirikiana na chama hicho kutoa elimu juu ya dhana potofu ya ramli kwa kuhakikisha tunaipiga marufuku kwani ndiyo chanzo pia cha mauaji kwa jamii hiyo,” alisema.
