Once upon a time there lived a spirited young boy named Uche. From the moment he could walk, he was drawn to something most people barely gave a second thought—the sight of a priest dressed in a gleaming white cassock. There was something magnetic about it. Whenever Uche saw that flash of white in the distance, he would drop whatever he was doing and dart across the street, his small legs carrying him as fast as they could.
Those words echoed in Uche’s mind long after the priest had left the village. He began to wonder if, all this time, he had been chasing not just blessings, but a deeper connection to God’s purpose for his life. And so, after much prayer and reflection, Uche made the bold decision to enter the seminary.
The journey wasn’t easy. There were moments of doubt, times when the weight of his choice felt heavy. But through it all, Uche remembered that childhood feeling—of joy, of peace, of something greater than himself whenever he stood before a priest. That memory kept him grounded, kept him moving forward.
Years later, Uche was ordained, and the village buzzed with pride. But it wasn’t long before Uche, now known as *Father Mazi Uc*, developed a reputation that extended far beyond the village. People flocked to his parish from all corners, drawn by the quiet strength and wisdom he exuded. And like the priests who had blessed him so many times as a child, Mazi Uc now found himself surrounded by people eager for a blessing.
But here’s where the story took an unexpected turn.
And so, the boy who had once run after priests for blessings had become a priest who showed others that the blessings they sought were already within their reach—if only they had the faith to see it.
