Nga tukuza olunaku Iw'Ekifo omwaka guno, mbasaba twebuuliirire ku mpagi zino essatu: tujjukire, tujaguze, twezze buggya.
TUJJUKIRE
Bwe twogera ku mpagi esooka, tujjukira ki? Tujjukira obukristu bwaffe, nga guno gwe musingi omunywevu ekifo kino kwe kitambulira. Tujjukira nt tulina omukisa okubeera abakristu n'okwetaba mu bulamu bw'Amasacramentu naddala Matrimunyo ne Ukarista ge tugenda okukuza leero. Tujjukira era abaminsani abaatandikawo ekifo kino n'abo bonna abakoze obutaweera okulaba nga ekifo kino kifuuka ekifo ekyeyagaza. Abaminsani be tujjukira be ba White Fathers abaakuba ekifo kino era ne bakiddukanya okuviira ddala mu 1899 okutuukira ddala mu Gatonnya (January) 1990, Rev. Fr. Joseph Njala bwe yadda mu kifo kya Pere Raynald Pellet er nga Bwanamukulu. Tujjukira n'Abakristu abaakolera ennyo Mitala Maria nga etandika, nga Omugenzi Agost no Katwere eyayambako Pere Joseph Laane okukunga abantu okuzimba Kelezia eyasookera ddala nga eno yali ya ssubi. Tujjukira n'ebibala Mitala Maria byezadde. Mu bibala bino mwe muli n'Abajulizi Yozefu Mukasa Balikuddembe ne Mugagga Lubowa. Balikuddembe yazaalibwa Omwami Njubeeseeta n'Omukyala Maria Sarah Kajwayo abaaberanga mu Lusinga mu kisomesa ky'eKawumba nga kino kiri mu Mitala Maria. Mugagga Lubowa naye yazaalibwa Omwami Mazinga n'Omukyala Nasubwa mu kisomesa ky'eJjalamba nga nakyo kiri mu Mitala Maria. Tetulema era kujjukira Abasaserdoot ne Bannaddiini abangi Mitala Maria b'ezadde. Muno mwe muli ne Ssaabasumba August ne Kasujja, nga ono ye mubaka wa Paapa mu Belgium. Okujjukira bino byonna kitwoleka nt Mitala Maria ggwe wamma kifo kya nkizo mu ssaza lino ekkulu ery'eKampala.
Nga tumaze okujjukira byonna Mitala Maria by'eyiseemu, tujaguza olw'ekisa kya Katonda asobozesezza Mitala Maria okuwuunuuka byonna ebisoomooza. Tujaguza n'olwebirungi byonna Katonda byawadde ekifo kino. Tujaguza olw'ekyo Mitala Maria kyeri mu kaseera kano. Tujaguza oiw'enkulaakulana ffenna gyetulaba eri mu Mitala Maria mu kaseera kano. Twebaza bonna abeenyigidde mu nkulaakulana eno naddala omubaka waffe mu bbendobendo ly'eMitala Maria era nga ye Bwanamukulu w'Ekifo kino, Rev. Fr. Denis Kizito Ssebunnya. Twebaza nAbasaserdoot b'akola nabo emirimo mu kuddukanya ekifo kino: Rev. Fr. John Bosco Ssempijja, Rev. Fr. George William Ssentamu, Rev. Fr. Anthony Mugerwa ne Rev. Fr. Bruno Sserunkuuma. Tujaguza olw'obukristu obunnyikidde mu Mitala Maria nga kino kyeyoleka mu bulamu bw' Amasacramentu. Nga 11 Augusto, omu ku bavubuka be twawa Obudyakoni e Lubaga, Dn. Henry Mubiru ava muno mu Mitala Maria. Leero ate mu ngeri ey'enjawulo, tulina abagole baffe abagenda okufuna Esacramentu lya Matrimunyo. Bino byonna byoleka obujjumbizi BannaMitala-Maria bwe mulina eri obulamu bwAmasacramentu era tujaguza olw'ekyo.
Empagi ey'okusatu era nga y'esembayo kwe kwezza obuggya. A bantu b'e Mitala Maria, tulina okwezza obuggya mu kukkiriza kwaffe. Twongere okwet anira Amasacramentu n'ebyo byonna ebyoleka obulamu obukristu. Twezze buggya nga tuzimba obukristu okuviira ddala mu maka gye tubeera ne mu bubondo bwaffe. Tufube okulaba nga obulamu bwaffe bwoleka ebyo ebitusuubirwamu nga abakristu. Gby'okugendanga mu masabo n'okwolesa emize egyesit aza tubiveeko kuba tebituzimba nga abantu. Twet anire nnyo ebyo ebituzimba. Ebimu ku bino mwe muli eby'enjigiriza. Tutwale abaana baffe mu masomero basome era tubayambe mu byetaago byabwe byonna. Tulina era okwezza obuggya mu ndowooza zaffe. Mitala Maria erina okwetengerera nga ekifo (okubeera self-reliant).
Okutuukiriza kino, tulina okuyiga okukola ennyo. Katonda atuwadde ebyobugagga bingi mu Mitala Maria naddala eky'obugagga eky'et aka. Tukole nnyo nga tukozesa eky'obugagga kino tusobole okwebbulula mu bwavu. Bwe nnafuulibwa Ssaabasumba w'essaza ekkulu ery'eKampala, nnalondaengombo gye ntambulizaako obuwereza bwange, "Ora et Labora ut habeat vitam" (Twegayirire nga bwe tukola tusobole okubeera abalamu mu bujjuvu). Engombo eno gye mbajjukiza mmwe Banna-Mitala Maria. Tukole nnyo n'emikono gyaffe nga bwe twegayirira Omukama emirimo gy'emikono gyaffe agiwe omukisa. Mu kukola emirimo gyaffe, twet anire nnyo ebibiina eby'obwegassi nga ekibiina kyaffe 'Weekembe'. Omugenzi Rt. Rev. Adrian Kivumbi Ddungu eyali Omusumba w'Essaza ly'eMasaka yagambangant, "Ab'oluganda bwe bakolera awamu bazimba ekigo ekigumu". Awo nno nafFe twegat e wamu mu bibiina eby'enjawulo tusobole okugoba obwavu mu kitundu kyaffe kino. Nga mpunzika, mbeebaza mwenna abat ndizze engendo okujja ku lunaku Iw'Ekifo Mitala Maria omwaka guno. Nneebaza n'abo bonna abalina kye bakoze okulaba nga emikolo gyonna gigenda bulungi. BannaMitala- Maria nnyongera okubagumya nt tuli wamu nammwe. Tubasabira nga tuyita mu buwolereza bwa Biikira Maria eyatwalibwa mu ggulu, Omukama ayongere okubayiwako emikisa gye mu bulamu bwammwe ne mu mirimo gyammwe.
