Midlands Catholic Chorale - Mwari Baba Tinokutendai

This beautiful Catholic song is perfect for various occasions, including anniversaries of our priests' ordination. Its powerful message and soothing melody make it suitable for celebrations honoring their dedication and service.

Mwari Baba Tinokutendai is a song and prayer of praise originally composed for the 25th Priestly Anniversary celebration of Fr Simon Mavhiya and the late Fr Fidelis Masanganise of the Catholic Diocese of Gweru.

The song comes in 3 Phases:

(1) Thanksgiving
The 1st Phase of this song is dedicated to Thanksgiving, where we express heartfelt gratitude to God for gifting us with shepherds (our priests) who tend to His flock with love and care. It acknowledges God's promise fulfilled, providing spiritual leaders who bring joy and guidance to our hearts, and prays that many people from diverse backgrounds will come to know Him through their ministry.

(2) Petition for Priestly Protection and Guidance
The second phase is a heartfelt petition to our dear Father, asking Him to:
Protect the value of priesthood in His servants
Preserve their faith and devotion to Him
Pour out the Holy Spirit upon them, empowering them to continue ministering with zeal and dedication
This phase is a prayer for ongoing guidance, protection, and empowerment for priests as they serve and minister.

(3) Celebration of Faithfulness
The 3rd and Final Phase is a celebration of appreciation for our priests, acknowledging the Lord's presence and guidance throughout their journey. We commend their unwavering trust and faith in the Lord, recognizing the sacrifices and dedication they've made in their vocation.
