Jacob June, a seminarian from Kenya, speaks about Cardinal Maurice Otunga, his Man for Others. Archbishop of Nairobi, he died in 2003 and his cause for canonization has begun:
"All my life I have been meditating on the life of Cardinal Otunga - he lived a very simple life, a life of celibacy, of simplicity, the life of poverty, of obedience, and this really attracted me .. At seminary, he was a very humble and hardworking man. He was the first Cardinal in Kenya and was a man who lived life to the fullest.. He really fought for the injustices in Kenya. He really was very free and spoke clearly to the people, telling people now to shun all the injustices and that people should embrace love. His main work was 'Love your brother as you love yourselves'. And the most of the time in his life he would meditate on the scripture of John, chapter 17; that I pray the Christian prayer that all my brothers and sisters may be one, and that they may be consecrated in spirit and in truth."
Jacob June's 'something about Mary' ¤
"When I was young I joined the group of the Legions of Mary and it was from there that I learned the greatness of our Blessed Virgin Mary …Our Mother Mary has helped me so much. By reciting the rosary I have really received grace and that was what really made me want to join the seminary... My life is entrusted to Mary and Mary is totally ours ... So in my life with Mother Mary, I am trying to be in that kind of purity, that kind of blessedness because all of us are called to holiness."

"To me Mary has been a big help, a comforter and a great companion in my journey through faith."
The Book of Habakkuk - "It's encouraging for me because a lot of times so many things seem to be going wrong in the world and we think God is not aware of what is happening and we try to blame him for so many things but in fact everything is under control as far as God is concerned." ¤
