The Ghana National Catholic Youth Council (GHANCYC), under the auspices of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, has honoured Mr. Dennis Appiah-Sasraku with a Citation of Honour in recognition of his outstanding dedication, selfless service, and exemplary leadership to the Catholic youth apostolate in Ghana.

The citation, presented by the National Executive of GHANCYC, acknowledges Mr. Appiah-Sasraku’s immense contributions to the growth and development of the Council, which serves as the umbrella body uniting Catholic youth across the Archdioceses, Dioceses, and Movements of the Church in Ghana.

According to the citation, Mr. Appiah-Sasraku distinguished himself through unwavering commitment, tireless sacrifices, and servant leadership, significantly strengthening the bonds of fellowship among Catholic youth throughout the country. His tenure and involvement in the youth ministry were marked by a deep sense of humility and faith, qualities that enabled him to champion the mission of the Council and guide young people towards responsible Christian discipleship.

The Council further noted that his leadership left a lasting legacy of service, unity, and commitment to the Church. Beyond advancing the work of GHANCYC, his devotion inspired many young Catholics across the various Archdioceses, Dioceses, and Movements to deepen their relationship with Christ and actively participate in the life and mission of the Church.

Presenting the honour, GHANCYC praised Mr. Appiah-Sasraku as a devoted son of the Church whose contributions have had a profound impact on the spiritual and leadership formation of Catholic youth in Ghana. The citation described his service as a shining example of commitment to the values of the Gospel and the ideals of Catholic youth ministry.

The Council emphasized that the recognition serves not only as an appreciation of his past achievements but also as a testament to the enduring influence of his leadership and mentorship among generations of young Catholics.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Book of Isaiah 55,10-11.

Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens... the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats,
So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

Psalms 65(64),10.11.12-13.14.

You have visited the land and watered it;
greatly... have you enriched it.
God's watercourses are filled;
You have prepared the grain.

Thus have you prepared the land:
drenching its furrows, breaking up its clods,
softening it with showers,
blessing its yield.

You have crowned the year with your bounty,
and your paths overflow with a rich harvest;
the untilled meadows overflow with it,
and rejoicing clothes the hills.

The pastures are clothed with flocks,
the valleys blanketed with grain;
they cheer and sing for joy.

Letter to the Romans 8,18-23.

Brothers and sisters: I consider that the... sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.
For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;
for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;
and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13,1-23.

On that day, Jesus went out of the house and... sat down by the sea.
Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore.
And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,
and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.
Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.
But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
Whoever has ears ought to hear."
The disciples approached him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
He said to them in reply, "Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
This is why I speak to them in parables, because 'they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.'"
Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: 'You shall indeed hear but not understand you shall indeed look but never see.
Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.'
But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it".
Hear then the parable of the sower.
The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart.
The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away.
The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.
But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
