Israel began by launching Operation Rising Lion against Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran retaliated with approximately 200 ballistic missiles, resulting in significant casualties and damage on both sides. However, over 90% of Iran’s missiles were successfully intercepted by Israel.

Concerned citizens and organisations have continued to criticise former governor of Edo State, senator Adams Oshiomhole for disrupting operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport earlier this week when he arrived late for a flight and resorted to selfhelp against the rules of engagement.

The latest condemnation is from the umbrella association of indigenous carriers – Airlines Operators of Nigeria,which described the senator’s action as unruly and unacceptable.

The spokesperson of the Airlines Operators of Nigeria, Prof Obiora Okonkwo, on Friday night said rights of air passengers are expected to confirm to rules of regulatory authorities for the safety of lives, rather than the caprics of an individual, no matter how highly placed.

“AON has had enough frustration and distractions in trying to offer services to Nigerians. Meanwhile, the one that just happened with the high-profile Nigerian is another distraction to us. We have taken an interest in all of the press statements released by the distinguished senator, and AON also had a full briefing from Air Peace on this incident.

“As much as we understand and appreciate the fact that every passenger has a right, it is only limited to what is allowed by ICAO and the aviation industry. There is no amount of disappointment, if at all, from any airline that should lead you to self-help. What happened is a typical example of unruly behaviour. That is not acceptable, Air Peace is a respectable airline, they carry 40-50 per cent of all the domestic passengers, and they deserve respect.”

Meanwhile, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter and directed all aviation agencies to exercise restraint.

Keyamo appealed for calm and urged both sides to desist from further accusations and counter-accusations on the matter.

Last week Saturday, June 7, 2025, inside the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, Michigan, something happened that stunned the world.

As the choir sang and the incense rose, Deacon Patrick Bruen walked toward the altar to be ordained a Catholic priest.

But just moments before that sacred rite…

He held his grandson in his arms.

Fifty-five priests surrounded him, watching in awe.
Not one of them had ever held their own child or grandchild.
Because Roman Catholic priests don’t marry.

But Patrick Bruen once did.

He was married to Georgiana, the love of his life, for 41 years.
Together, they raised 3 children.
Welcomed 15 grandchildren.
Laughed. Prayed. Worked. Wept. Grew old.

And then… Georgiana died in 2020.

In the quiet heartbreak of widowhood, Patrick heard God call again.

This time, to the altar of sacrifice, not the altar of matrimony.

And he said yes.

At 67 years old, Patrick entered seminary formation.
And on June 7, 2025, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron laid hands on him.
He became Father Pat Bruen, a priest of Jesus Christ, forever.

First, he said “I do” to his wife.
Now, he says “This is My Body” at the altar.
Two vocations. One faithful heart.

“We’re both trying to live according to God’s plan,” he said, standing beside a much younger man ordained that same day.
“Though our lives are different, the call is the same.”

Because vocation is not a moment. It’s a lifelong conversation with God.

To every man discerning the priesthood, young or old:

This story is for you.

If you’ve ever felt too late…
Too broken…
Too far gone…

You’re not.

The priesthood isn’t just for the young.
It’s for the willing.
For the faithful.
For those who still dare to ask:

“Lord, what are You asking of me now?”

And have the courage to answer.

Welcome, Father Pat.
You once held your grandson.
Now, you hold the Eucharist.
You remind us all
