In a day of great joy, Duncan Amek, a native of Homa\nBay, Kenya, was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of San Antonio\nby Archbishop Gustavo Garc\u00eda-Siller, MSpS, on May 15 at St. Ann\u2019s Church, where\nhad served as a deacon for the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enthusiastic music and song for the liturgy was\nperformed in Lingala by the Congolese Choir, and family and friends from\nDallas, Buffalo, and Kenya attended the ordination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his homily, the archbishop told Amek that, to him\nand through him, the Lord will continue to fulfill his promise to be a Good\nShepherd, one who knows his people and cares for them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A candidate for the priesthood, no matter his age,\ncan easily identify with Jeremiah\u2019s words: \u201cAh Lord God, I do not know how to\nspeak. I am too young,\u201d from the first reading at the Mass. However, Archbishop\nGustavo replied that God\u2019s response is very reassuring: \u201cI know you well!\nBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you. . . I will be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Francis says that a priest must always remember\nGod\u2019s call: \u201cWe are called by God and we are called to be with Jesus, united\nwith him. It is precisely this \u2018life in Christ\u2019 that ensures our apostolate is\neffective, that our service is fruitful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The archbishop emphasized to the candidate to\nremember that he has been called by God every day and hour of his priestly\nservice. \u201cDeepen your understanding of your call by God through daily prayer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Antonio prelate explained that the second\nreading, the Letter to the Hebrews, is both consoling and challenging. \u201cIt is\nconsoling to realize that we priests are taken from among the community; that\nwe are \u2018beset by weakness\u2019 and from this awareness we are able to deal\npatiently with others,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is challenging to acknowledge this in all\nhumility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Missionary of the Holy Spirit continued, \u201cWhen I\nlay my hands upon you and anoint you with sacred chrism, we will call down the\nHoly Spirit upon you — not to honor or reward you with an exalted position —\nbut to enable you to serve others faithfully after the model of the Good\nShepherd.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Gospel reading from John, at the Last Supper,\nJesus prays that his heavenly Father will consecrate his disciples \u201cin the\ntruth. Your words are truth. As you sent me into the world, so I send them into\nthe world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archbishop Gustavo lamented that we live in a time\nof chaos and polarization, of \u201cfake news\u201d and distorted information for\npartisan purposes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuncan,\u201d he stressed, looking directly at the\ndeacon, \u201cAs a priest, as a missionary disciple, you are to lead your people in\nfaithfully and boldly proclaiming the truth of the gospel. Bring the Light of\nChrist into the darkness and shadows of our world. The Holy Spirit will empower\nyou to do this. Our Lady, the Mother of the Church, will be with you, showing\nyou the way to faithful discipleship as a priest!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the rite of ordination, Amek went to the\narchbishop, knelt before him, and place his hands between those of the\narchbishop, promising obedience, followed by the litany of supplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amek those rose and again knelt before Archbishop\nGustavo. The archbishop placed his hands in silence upon Amek\u2019s head. All\npriests present then placed hands in silence upon the elect. Then, with Amek\nkneeling before him, the archbishop pronounced the prayer of ordination to the\npriesthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a newly ordained priest, Father Amek stood and\nreceived his stole and chasuble. The archbishop afterwards anointed with holy\nchrism the psalms of the newly ordained priest, who knelt before him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, some of the faithful brought a paten holding\nthe bread and a chalice containing wine mixed with water for the celebration of\nthe Mass. Archbishop Gustavo placed them in the hands of Father Amek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the archbishop gave the newly ordained the\nfraternal kiss. Likewise, all of the priests present gave the fraternal kiss to\nFather Amek as a sign of being joined to the order of priests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the liturgy, Father Jim\nFischler, CICM, director of the archdiocesan Office for Clergy, announced that\nFather Amek would be assigned to St. Matthew Church in San Antonio as a\nparochial vicar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new priest\u2019s home parish is St. Paul Cathedral in Homa Bay, Kenya.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Amek has stated that his parents played a\nsignificant parental and formational role that inspired his vocation to the\npriesthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Besides my\nfamily members\u2019 inspiration, I was fascinated by the enormous work and\ncommitment of my pastor, Father Philip Odero, who inspired me,\u201d he said. \u201cI was\nequally inspired toward priesthood by an old exemplary priest, Father Joseph\nMusanda, in my parish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Amek\u2019s first Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated at St. Ann\u2019s the following day, May 16, with Father Larry Christian, pastor, as concelebrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
