A SUDDEN AND SAD DEATH OF A YOUNG PRIEST

After ten years of intense and tasking seminary training, you died after one year a priest,

After planning to joyfully celebrate your one year in priesthood, you left us sorrowfully,

After a nice time with people of God during Sunday Thanksgiving you left on Tuesday without goodbye,

But how can you say goodbye when you were on a mission when you suddenly died in accident,

My dear seminary newscaster, your memory will ever remain green in the heart of many.

Rest in Paradise Fr Hosea Jatau Titus of Lafia Diocese,until we meet to behold the face of God forever.
