For the long essay which was part of this theology studies, Brother Joseph Kahiro Mwaura, better known as Jomo Maria, presents Mary, a Gift to Kenya: A Reception of the Marian Dimension in the Kenya Context. Brother Jomo is a member of the Marianist Region of Eastern Africa which includes Kenya, Malawi, and Zambia.
There are many reasons why Mary is a gift, but all are summarized in one word, salvation. Mary is the one who can keep us united in one true faith; she is the won who can help us grow in the qualities of Jesus; she is the one who can help us be truly African, be true and fertile mothers, and be a people of faith dedicated to God.
As is clear in this presentation, the role of Mother in the Kenyan context is very real and significant. Brother Jomo develops a number of important themes relating to parenting, bearing life, modelling a stance in the face of difficulty, and, above all, enfleshing the Word, that is, inculturating the faith in Kenya.
