The Lord's Prayer Reflection from Our Lady of Guadalupe parish, Nairobi.

The disciples were inspired by Jesus' prayer life and that's why they asked him how to pray. As christians this can be our inspiration to be open to learn from God.

Sometimes we forget that the way we live can empower others more than what we speak.

Give as this day our daily bread.We should recognize that what we receive is from God and therefore we should share with others.

Forgive. God is a merciful God so we should be merciful to others.

Whether we notice it or not, media shapes our ideas about men, women, and everything in between. The way women are shown in movies, music videos, or ads can say a lot. Sometimes it’s empowering, but other times it quietly tells us that women should stay in certain roles. The truth is, what we see often becomes what we believe. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to the messages we share and consume. Changing the Story Media has the power to challenge stereotypes, not just repeat them.
