Msgr. Thomas prays for those who oppose CBI program

The consultation got underway at the State House on Monday morning

Catholic Priest, Monsignor Eustace Thomas has prayed for those who he said opposed Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI), describing them as unpatriotic, ignorant and prophets of doom and gloom.

He was delivering the opening prayer at a National Consultation on Development Prospects for Dominica which got underway at the State House in Roseau on Monday morning.

In his prayer, he recognized what he said is the “astute” leadership of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, who he said had “the presence of mind and discernment to go beyond the region with prudence in the pursuit of clean funding through the Citizenship by Investment Program to finance development activities.”

In the prayer, he said this form of raising funds has already begun to address “the financial burden of this administration and ease the pain of our citizens.”

But he also prayed for those who he said opposed the program.

“So we ask you, Dear Lord, to open the minds and hearts of those who are unpatriotic, ignorant of and opposed to, this program and pardon those who deliberately attempt to impede it,” he said. “May they be just and truthful by recognizing that this undertaking is for the common good and will only be successful through prayer.”

Msgr. Thomas prayed for all those who present, especially those who will address the gathering and for “the conversion of those prophets of doom and gloom who are not committed to the development of our nation.”

    You must concentrate on winning the SINNERS instead of RUNNING US AWAY FROM THE CHURCH. You are one of them that causing certain projects within the Diocese to be delayed, whereby the congregation and other well wishers are not making any contribution.
    If you would concentrate on you religious life and keep POLITICS OUT, your parish and the Diocese would be great.

    Let’s look at it this way: A passport is the privilege for one to enter a country _in this case Dominican nationals have their passports: to come to and leave Dominica and therefor they are legitimate. Any one who is not a legitimate Dominican (especially a criminal) but carries that document, falsified by the aid of another is in essence guilty of aiding and abetting criminal activity; furthermore, if there are those who support such practices they too are guilty of such a crime. In this case a man of god (supposedly) defending such activity is like a fallen angel helping to break open the gates of heaven in return for a financial rewards to let in the likes of himself _ the following question comes to mind: “for what shall it profit a man who gains his fortune and lose his soul.”

    When uwp had their priest praying for them doing the same you all smile and felt good but now the other side have theirs is a problem. The Catholic church losing their members fast and going to what? Only to bounce back to the same Catholic church. We will welcome them back just as the father welcomed his son back. Do so never like so. Theirs a good percentage of Dominicans with crabs in a barrel attitude and this causes the country to a slow crawling growth process and thats how it will remain because this attitude won’t go away because its a Dominican culture.

      Is this your public confession? are you telling us it is alright to correct a wrong with another wrong? so because UWP did before it is alright for the DLP to do it? that’s your understanding of Christianity? But I thought you in defence of the DLP came in 2000 on the primisce to stop all forms of corruption and to do things right and not to repeat the wrongs that you and others claimed the UWP did in the 4 and half year they were in office. However 17 years later every time you and others in your party get confronted with wrong doing your all first defence is that ‘Oh when UWP was in power they did worst!!’ hahaha you and others like you are just jokers, opportunists, party boomboom flies – I wonder if you will tell your kids do not worry about the neighbour telling you about your promiscuous behaviour because when he was young he did worst ….how pathetic!!

      If there is one thing you must practice, is respect for the Priests as Msgr. Thomas and what they state. God is not amused with your godless statement which generated straight from the devil’s mouth, the jaws of Hell. Next time you open your mouth and put your fingers to the keyboard in criticism of God’s Consecrated Priest, remember that. It is an era that some of you lack respect. You are heaping burning coals on your head.

  20. @ Small axe April 24, 2017 “For we know God heareth not the prayer of sinners” -jn 9:31

    Here is the complete scripture which you quoted, unfortunately you left out the positive part–like most people, who desire to prove others wrong but do not know how to do so; I suggest that you leave out the Scriptures throughout your quest.

    John 9: 31 “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him”

    So then you should notice that you have judged the priest, for the best worship to God is done privately, how do you know that he doesn’t worship God?

    It seems more like you are one who is at fault, for someone who worships God does not judge no one in his or her environment–that is a command from God through Christ Jesus Shamefully that is what the majority of you have done here

      You are obligated to support the current government, no matter what. It is obedience. This is in Holy Scripture – Obey your leaders. If per chance they are wrong in the eyes of God – not yours, God will deal with them accordingly. It is not your place to criticize them. Who are you anyway? Know your place. Read the writings of St. Paul.

      He is saving himself and praying that those souls be saved. This is his obligation. May no one dare criticize him for it. You will not win. He is doing his work in the Lord.
      In the meantime, God helps those who help themselves. You, too and others are obligated to save themselves. As long as you are alive, you are not yet saved. Do not let anyone teach you otherwise for it is false teaching.

    Politics has permeated and contaminated every sector, every sphere of life in Dominica. The church is no exception. Some preachers have become the biggest apologists of the government. They use the holy cloth to camouflage their true self ( political operatives in priestly robe). Most people support the CBI program, it’s the non transparent manner in which it is conducted where the problems lie. It is conspicuously obvious that he was deliberately chosen to deliver such an ill-considered prayer. Little wonder the membership of many churches is dwindling. The people have become disillusioned and now see these preachers as just mere hypocrites. For wrongly excoriating those who have shed light on all that is wrong with the CBI program and then showering praise on a leader with so many question marks swirling around his character, the priest has raised many eyebrows.

    • Let The Truth Be Known
      April 24, 2017

      They know what is right and wrong. They have reason to defend what they think is right. The CBI Program is assisting Dominica and nationals. Why do you criticize it and want its demise? This is not right.
      If the government did nothing, you would criticize. What I have to inform people as you, get lost! Go and do something good for Dominica. This also includes praying for everyone as Msgr. Thomas is doing. Learn from him.
      You are doing nothing but criticizing. God is not pleased with you. In the end you will have to answer to God for what you state as you sit back and do nothing to help your country and nationals in need. You are the ones who are not smart.

    Father Priest Eustace Thomas is reported as saying that said that the CBI “will only be successful through prayers”!!Is this a prayer or hope?

  47. That false prophet, that tool of satan need to pray for himself, and the politicians who he believe their only alternative to earn revenue to run the country is to sell diplomatic, and other passports to criminals.

    If Thomas was serving God, he would know the word of God, as it pertains to ” by the sweet of thy brow thou shall eat bread!” He would also be familiar with that part of God’s word where he said people who do not want to work should not eat. (that’s not verbatim), to the scriptures. There is no place in the written word of God where it said that any citizen of a country should support corruption!

    If there are no jabs how can people work?

    God did not create his people to exists on handouts; there is a formula in the word of God which teaches prosperity, and the method believers should use to become wealthy and prosperous. If Thomas was not a tool satan and a salve to Rome he would know the word of God, and teach prosperity, and not pray for people to support…

If ure really taking it at face value you are therefore saying that God doesn’t hear anyone of us when we pray… All have sinned and come short.. For in sin were we conceived….need I quote you some more?. Please stop taking scriptures out of context…

      How many foolish people are there in Dominica? Some of you do not even pray and some do not know how well to pray. Speak for yourself.

    Msgr Thomas, you should first keep politics out of religion and focus on your duties as a priest. If you wish to pray for someone, you should pray for Skerrit and his incompetent administration for their mishandling of the CBI program and having the 3rd highest unemployment rate in the Caribbean at 23%. I find it despicable that you would label those who oppose the PM as unpatriotic and ignorant. Where is your sense of impartiality as a priest?

    • People like that man are cursed; God have a prepared place for them: He is legitimizing Skerrit, but they both will share the same space in Hades!

      It is his kind who help Skerrit to hold on to power; there was a time when the majority of Dominica, were catholic, they still maintain a majority; and they the tools of Satan, such as Thomas influences that majority to vote for Skerrit, while he benefits from his cynical way of brainwashing his congregation.

      The problem is that old useless, no ambition people like him are screwing up the country. In a couple of years he will make his exist into oblivion, leaving the damage he cause behind for the younger generation: There were many before him, and I say again Dominica will never become a prosperous, and get out of poverty as long as those old washed up parasites still live!

      • “as long as those old washed up parasites still live!–Telemaque

        These are very sweet, beautiful, and enlightening, words to use to describe your fellow Dominicans. Just remember that you are just as old or even older than those “old washed up parasites” you have spoken about–that means you are one of them.

        Seem as if you have accepted that name which I gave to you–better still that you added “old washed up”; that is very, very good. Hehehehehehehehe!

      • Elizabeth, I know my age,

        When I was a little boy going to Marigot, I remember seeing him and his brothers playing in the streets as soon as you went over the hill close to where the Hospital Skerrit allowed to rotten to the ground.

        I know him his mother, and all his brothers, and they all are not Thomas okay, so doh worry about me and me age eh, cause you are older than I am. So, don’t start anything with me about my age, because I know your age too.

        And by the way it an honor to age, I told you before in Proverbs Gods’ words teaches ” the young ma but the old must.” That means the young may die, but the old must. Everybody I know went to School with me except a hand full are dead.

        I saw my son and a grandson died God still keeps me alive. But because of that does not mean I cannot call an old washed up bit of parasite old, especially when that old goat is helping Skerrit to screw up the country!

        You…

      As a priest, he has a right to speak up against anything that affects the country. He is human just like the rest of us, no different from us, and gone are the days when religion was separated from state. What is happening today in our country affects everyone including pastors and priests. So, they do have a right to speak up.

      You undermine everything that is good in Dominica. He has a right to talk about it and a right to pray for people as you. God knows you are in dire need of His blessing, graces and enlightenment.
      You pray for yourself and for Dominica and nationals in general. If you do not do so, God will hold you accountable.

        I do not mix religion and politics, moral values are not political values though they sometimes intersect especially when dealing with social programs. A preacher does wrong but the word of God stays the same. It has not changed for over 2000 years. Man interpretation has changed to suit themselves. Like interpretation naturally assembly. Politics on the other hand is a dynamic as a result your choices change with time. What works best within the civil laws of the land. Laws of man can change but moral and natural laws will never change. Hence the reason I will be with no political party for life.

      Shaka Zulu, I am informing you, you are not a genuine Catholic. You are merely one, a cradle/closet Catholic. There are some Catholics as you. If you were a sincere one and practice the faith as you should, as praying from the heart, you would not make such a statement. People are known by their words. You gave yourself away, as always.
      A saint said: “Going to Church does not make one holy.” How you practice your faith and outside the Church tells much, including what you state about/against this Church and Priest. You appear to be a traitor to your Church as those who are unpatriotic to their country. God knows that.
      God expects you will be patriotic to your Church and country.

        In his prayer, he recognized what he said is the “astute” leadership of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, who he said had “the presence of mind and discernment to go beyond the region with prudence in the pursuit of clean funding through the Citizenship by Investment Program to finance development activities.”
        Nowhere above was it indicated that God, or Jesus was acknowledged. For a priest to pray of the Elegance of the PM and not even mention thanks to the almighty in that comment is close to idolization and making Skerrit the God of the moment more ritheous than those who have opposite views. That priest in my opinion is a nuisance. He is from Villecase just like you and the PM and full of arrogance which is typical of that geography.
