The newly appointed chaplain for the Catholic Organisation for Social and Religious Advancement (COSRA) in the Accra Archdiocese, Very Rev. Fr. John Benyah Mensah, has expressed readiness to support and guide members of the group, describing his appointment as a pastoral opportunity to serve the adult youth of the Church.

Speaking in an interview with Catholic Trends, he said he was grateful to the Archbishop for the trust placed in him and outlined his approach to his new role as one rooted in collaboration, openness and service.

“I’m the newly elected chaplain for COSRANS in Accra Archdiocese and I’m very happy that the Archbishop has asked me to take care of these adult youth. My message to them is that I have come to help them,” he said.

Fr. Benyah Mensah stressed the importance of cooperation between chaplain and members, adding that shared ideas and open communication would be central to his ministry.

“They should cooperate with me so that whatever ideas that I have, I can share with them. If they have any programmes, anything that they want to pass through me, my doors are open 24-7 to help them out,” he said.

The Catholic Organisation for Social and Religious Advancement, commonly known as COSRA, describes itself as a platform that integrates social development with spiritual growth, bringing together youthful energy and adult responsibility.

According to the organisation, this approach is intended to educate, inform, empower and transform its members into active contributors to both Church and society.

2nd book of Kings 2,1.6-14.

When the LORD was about to take Elijah up... to heaven in a whirlwind, he and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here; the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." And so the two went on together.
Fifty of the guild prophets followed, and when the two stopped at the Jordan, stood facing them at a distance.
Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground.
When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "May I receive a double portion of your spirit."
"You have asked something that is not easy," he replied. "Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not."
As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
When Elisha saw it happen he cried out, "My father! my father! Israel's chariots and drivers!" But when he could no longer see him, Elisha gripped his own garment and tore it in two.
Then he picked up Elijah's mantle which had fallen from him, and went back and stood at the bank of the Jordan.
Wielding the mantle which had fallen from Elijah, he struck the water in his turn and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" When Elisha struck the water it divided and he crossed over.

Psalms 31(30),20.21.24.

How great is the goodness, O LORD,
which... you have in store for those who fear you,
And which, toward those who take refuge in you,
you show in the sight of the children of men.

You hide them in the shelter of your presence
from the plottings of men;
You screen them within your abode
from the strife of tongues.

Love the LORD, all you his faithful ones!
The LORD keeps those who are constant,
but more than requites those who act proudly.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 6,1-6.16-18.

Jesus said to his disciples: "Take care... not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you."
