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.

1st book of Kings 21,17-29.

After the death of Naboth the LORD said to... Elijah the Tishbite:
"Start down to meet Ahab, king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He will be in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has come to take possession.
This is what you shall tell him, 'The LORD says: After murdering, do you also take possession? For this, the LORD says: In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs shall lick up your blood, too.'"
"Have you found me out, my enemy?" Ahab said to Elijah. "Yes," he answered. "Because you have given yourself up to doing evil in the LORD'S sight,
I am bringing evil upon you: I will destroy you and will cut off every male in Ahab's line, whether slave or freeman, in Israel.
I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because of how you have provoked me by leading Israel into sin."
(Against Jezebel, too, the LORD declared, "The dogs shall devour Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.")
"When one of Ahab's line dies in the city, dogs will devour him; when one of them dies in the field, the birds of the sky will devour him."
Indeed, no one gave himself up to the doing of evil in the sight of the LORD as did Ahab, urged on by his wife Jezebel.
He became completely abominable by following idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD drove out before the Israelites.
When Ahab heard these words, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth over his bare flesh. He fasted, slept in the sackcloth, and went about subdued.
Then the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite,
"Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his time. I will bring the evil upon his house during the reign of his son."

Psalms 51(50),3-4.5-6ab.11.16.

Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
in... the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
and of my sin cleanse me.

For I acknowledge my offense,
and my sin is before me always:
"Against you only have I sinned,
and done what is evil in your sight."

Turn away your face from my sins,
and blot out all my guilt.
Free me from blood guilt, O God, my saving God;
then my tongue shall revel in your justice.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,43-48.

Jesus said to his disciples: "You have... heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."
