FOR THE SHEEP OF GOD

As a servant of God, you were created in the image of God

You represented Him

And always accept the challenge

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

As a shepherd

You were handpicked from a myriad of souls

Molded by God from the time you were a clot of blood

Prepared you for this journey

Made you a celibate

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

God has blessed you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding

To teach his sheep the way to righteousness

And love to carry God’s plans out

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

You’ve dedicated your entire time to God

He gave you the power to celebrate the Eucharist

You embraced His name and proclaimed it

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

You are a Father who baptized the sheep of God

God lifted you and made you flee any attack of the evil one

He carried you above the stormy sea

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

May the Almighty bless you and keep you

May He continue to carry you when your feet are weary

May He forever fill your heart with peace and joy

Not for yourself

But for the sheep of God

Reverend Father Anthony Nii Noi Dowuona

Wherever you maybe remember that

Good-byes are not forever

Good-byes are not the end

They simply mean we’ll miss you

As you leave for your new station

Come back soon and come back often

To celebrate Holy Mass with us
