Father Udo

2007-03-25T09:34:00.000-05:00

(Father Udo played for Redstar a little over three years ago. During our game on September 24, 2003 is when Chad Buckley passed away. After the game, both teams huddled up and Father Udo prayed for me and Chad's family and friends. I will never forget that.) The following story was in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Saturday, March 24, 2007.

Neither broken nor bowed
Nigerian-born priest, recovering from crash, spinal cord injury finds people he nourished now eager to serve him
BY LAURA LYNN BROWN ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
A Catholic priest from Nigeria knows how life can change in a moment. Two and a half months after a car wreck broke his neck and paralyzed his legs, he is entering a new phase in his ministry with the conviction that it’s all part of God’s plan. The Rev. Udochukwu Vincent Ogbuji was the pastor for churches in Searcy, Heber Springs and Bald Knob. Driving from Heber Springs to Searcy after dinner with a parishioner on Jan. 7, he chose a less traveled route. “I was not familiar with that road,” he said. “I decided to take it that day.” Church members who have been to the scene, on Gravel Hill Road west of Joy, say there’s a place in the road that’s like an optical illusion. The road turns, but looks like it goes straight, and it’s hard to see it until a driver is actually in the curve. “By the time I stepped on the brake,” he said, “the car was off the road.” The Toyota 4Runner flipped end to end. People from nearby houses heard the crash. “Very wonderful people rushed to the scene,” he said. His neck hurt, one of his legs was stuck and he was afraid the car might catch on fire; he wanted them to pull him out. But someone told him he might have a spinal cord injury, and held his head until the emergency workers could arrive. He was taken to a Searcy hospital, where tests showed that the C3 and C4 vertebrae in his neck were broken and his spinal cord was injured. He was flown to Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock. Father Udo as he is called, was days away from going home to Nigeria for a three-week vacation. “I had to call my mom,” he said. “I knew I was going to go into surgery and I didn’t know when I would get out.” He asked his mother who was talking to her. “My son,” she said. “If you recognize my voice and know it’s me,” he told her, “you know I’m alive. I have a little injury.” He didn’t tell her the extent of the damage. “Don’t worry. Everything is fine,” he told her. “Pray for me.”

PLANTING, WATERING

Ogbuji is playful and loves to joke. Ask him how he got from Nigeria to Arkansas: “I flew.” He also knows that people often can’t tell whether he’s serious. “I’m kidding,” he says often. A bishop’s request brought him to Arkansas. His bishop in Nigeria told Ogbuji that he had a difficult mission to ask of him. “I told him of course that I would do whatever he asked of me,” he said. Then he found out that he had just consented to coming to Arkansas, where Catholic priests were scarce and then-Bishop George MacDonald had asked foreign bishops to send some of their priests. Ogbuji, 38, arrived in the spring of 1999. He worked for two years at St. Edward Catholic Church in Texarkana. In June 2002, he became the priest for St. James in Searcy, St. Albert in Heber Springs and St. Richard in Bald Knob. He presided at five Masses every weekend. Attendance at the Searcy parish roughly doubled in his time there, from 115 families to 230 or 240 families, he said. The church embarked on a $1.4 million building campaign. The parish was divided into “town hall” groups; each group attended a meeting to learn about the project and see a model of the proposed building. He told them “that’s affordable and that we can do it,” he said. “After the speech we handed out the pledge cards.” The priest doesn’t take credit for the church’s growth. “Other people worked so hard to lay the foundation,” he said. “Just like St. Paul says, why would you make the distinction between me and others who work for the Lord? I planted, Appollos (another first century Christian) watered. It is God who gives the increase.” Ken Simmons, a longtime parishioner who is on the St. James development committee, said Ogbuji was integral in raising funds — $600,000 has been raised so far — and in emphasizing the need for a larger facility, since the Searcy area is steadily growing. Members of the parish have poured out prayers for their injured priest. “We have had adoration and rosaries said in abundance,” he said. “He’s a fairly young man, and to see this happen to somebody at that point in their life is doubly shocking.” Now the priest’s friend, the Rev. John Agbakwuo, is pastoring those congregations. He and another Nigerian priest, “took care of me in the hospital,” said Ogbuji. “They were here every day.” As Ogbuji recovered from surgery on his broken neck, he was unable to fly home — so a family member made the trip instead. His sister Helen, who will become a nun later this year, came from Nigeria to stay with him for 12 days. Eventually he was moved to Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute where he worked for weeks to improve his strength. He has feeling in his legs but no movement, and there is a 50-50 chance they will remain paralyzed, he said. “I’m praying and hoping for the best and preparing for the worst,” he said. “I take it that I won’t walk again.” His therapy included weight lifting and range-of-motion stretching. One afternoon shortly before his release, he winced with pain when his therapist pushed his arm a little farther. When she asked why he had been more flexible the day before, he cited that morning’s activity: “Because I worked my abs playing pingpong all day,” he said. “You don’t know how exhausting it is to play the pingpong.” He uses an automated bicycle to exercise his legs in a research experiment intended to maintain bone density, improve muscle mass and reduce spastic reflexes associated with spinal cord injuries. Most patients in the study use the cycle for one hour a day, five days a week. Ogbuji does it daily. “He’s an overachiever,” said the doctor in charge of the study, Tom Kiser. “That’s what got me into the hospital,” Ogbuji said. He lost 40 pounds but has regained about 10. His hands are weak; he eats with a fork strapped to his left hand. In occupational therapy he sometimes picked up small plastic circles — exactly the motion he would need to pick up a Communion wafer. Ogbuji had an impromptu shrine in his hospital room, with objects that reminded him of different aspects of his faith. A “sacred heart” statue of Jesus, with the heart outside Christ’s robes, is a reminder of the Lord’s loving essence. A statue of St. Anthony is a reminder of prayer requests. “He became a saint that you call upon when things are lost, like car keys,” he said. “So I ask people to pray to Saint Anthony that I would have the movement of my legs restored.” A photograph of the late Pope John Paul II holding a monstrance, or an ornate container for the consecrated bread of Holy Communion, symbolizes that “the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith.” Eucharistic ministers from Christ the King brought him Communion every day in the hospital, something he used to do for sick parishioners. “That makes me truly happy in the sense that I could be cared for in the way I cared for many people who were sick,” he said. Seeing Ogbuji in his wheelchair, or being lifted from his bed to the chair by a sling, frightens some children who have visited him. “Kids get so scared when they see me,” he said. “I tell them, ‘Don’t worry, Father Udo is having fun. It’s like being on a ride at Disney World.’ Then they start to smile.”

NO RUNNING FROM GOD

He was a child himself when he decided to become a priest. In third grade, as an altar server, he was impressed by “the aura that surrounds the priest,” he said. “How he helps people calm their fears.” He felt that calming firsthand. One morning in church, with his parents watching, he dropped and broke a cruet containing holy oil. “I didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to die,” he said. The priest “came and touched my shoulder, and he said, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ From a man with such love and care and gentleness and kindness — that made me think I wanted to be a priest.” He changed his mind for a time in high school. And he had doubts again in seminary. He left campus without permission, to visit his family. “I wanted to be asked to leave. I didn’t want to leave on my own,” he said. “I knew I couldn’t run away from God.” When he returned, he was sent to talk to the priest who served as his spiritual director. He confided feelings of inadequacy. “The priesthood is a job that angels should do, not human beings,” he said. He was surprised to learn the priest also struggled with sin and temptation. “God chooses us not because we’re holy or sinless or perfect,” he was told, “but he chooses us, as weak as we are, to make us stronger for the Gospel.” In the hospital he has learned that the medical profession can also be a calling, as he has watched doctors and nurses work hard to improve patients’ lives. “They go over and beyond. It’s really a call,” he said. The rehabilitation experience has been a lesson in several virtues. “I’ve come to learn patience and humility and to take orders instead of giving them,” he said. Above all, he said, he has learned “how much I am loved by the people I work for.” His concept of life has changed, he said. “There are many things I took for granted before. Like having a nice shower, brushing my own teeth, wearing my own clothing. I never knew what those meant, those little things in life. “I will never take those for granted again.” Earlier this month he was discharged and went to stay in a house owned by Christ the King Catholic Church in west Little Rock, which parishioners and volunteers renovated to meet his needs. He has a regular wheelchair and is awaiting an electric one. “I have to have something to cruise around the mall in,” he joked. Days after his release, he celebrated his first Mass privately with several other priests, said Monsignor Francis Malone, rector of the church. “I wanted to see how he was going to do,” Malone said. “He wanted to be the main celebrant at the Mass, so we helped him get vested, and he acted like he had done it just the day before.” When it was time for him to raise the chalice of wine symbolizing Christ, Malone wasn’t sure he could do it. Another priest went to assist him, but he said, “‘I’ve got it,’” Malone related. Once Ogbuji has learned to drive his new wheelchair and to negotiate the new ramps and sidewalks from the house to the church, he will resume the work of a priest, celebrating Masses, hearing confessions, counseling, and visiting the children in the parish’s K-8 school. “There’s nothing he can’t do except stand and walk,” Malone said. “What better example to our parishioners and our children to see someone who is handicapped and yet so at peace with his situation.” Tell Father Udo that he seems amazingly upbeat for someone who has been through what he has, and he jokes, “Well, I’m faking it.” Then he is serious. He has always been a happy person, he said, with a sense of inner peace and joy. “If I get saddened, what am I going to tell people who get sad?” he said. “This is going to be a new phase in my life and ministry,” he continued. “Whatever happens, whether it be tragic, or whether it be joyful or beautiful, I see it as God’s plan.”

The Italian Couple has reopened in LR. It was around in the late 90's then closed. Reopened a couple of weeks ago and i've already picked up some take out. It was really good but i recommend dining in because of the atmosphere and i think you get more to eat (keep the bread coming). The actual Italian couple that own and run it are super nice people and always take care of everyone. I wish they offered a buffet!

Bush and Bono, my blog theme this week.

2006-02-02T11:55:00.000-06:00

I love my country. The front man of the greatest rock band in the world was the guest speaker for the National Prayer Breakfast this morning. He spoke before President Bush and members of Congress, the cabinet, the military, the clergy and countries from around the world asking for more US funds to go toward the world's poorest countries. Bono is helping with the ONE campaign and white braclets like the one I wear were given out. You can help by going to ONE . President Bush praised Bono as "a doer".

State of the Union

2006-01-31T23:30:00.000-06:00

From President Bush's speech tonight:

Our men and women in uniform are making sacrifices -- and showing a sense of duty stronger than all fear. They know what it is like to fight house-to-house in a maze of streets, to wear heavy gear in the desert heat, to see a comrade killed by a roadside bomb. And those who know the costs also know the stakes.

Marine Staff Sergeant Dan Clay was killed last month fighting the enemy in Falluja. He left behind a letter to his family, but his words could just as well be addressed to every American.

Here is what Dan wrote: "I know what honor is. It has been an honor to protect and serve all of you. I faced death with the secure knowledge that you would not have to ... Never falter! Don't hesitate to honor and support those of us who have the honor of protecting that which is worth protecting."

Staff Sergeant Dan Clay's wife, Lisa, and his mom and dad, Sara Jo and Bud, are with us this evening. Our nation is grateful to the fallen, who live in the memory of our country. We are grateful to all who volunteer to wear our nation's uniform -- and as we honor our brave troops, let us never forget the sacrifices of America's military families.

Bono still fighting HIV and AIDS in Africa

2006-01-29T13:52:00.000-06:00

Bono was in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Friday (page 5a) announcing a new program called "Red" that will sell products from several companies with the money going to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Bono said "We can't do it just with governments alone. We're fighting a fire. The house is buring down. Let's get the water."

I hadn't forgotten about this graffiti. I just hadn't seen it in a while. It is on the sidewalk between Oyster Bar and Pizza D's on Booker Street up from my house. I was cleaning up after trash day on Booker (i'm the Booker Street Custodian) and saw it.

It was 1995. Our gang was leaving Pizza D's and saw the new sidewalk so we all added our names. Chad went down to the end of the sidewalk and added this. I think I told him not to because it was so big I was afraid they would end up redoing it and erasing all of our names. They didn't and they are all still there today. When I saw it and took a picture, Chad's was the only one in the sun. I think that was on purpose. Today is his birthday.

This is my buddy, Ben. He is a brave young man. In early 2005, he was having pain in his back and when they checked it out they found tumors on his spine. He has already gone through chemo treatments in Little Rock but started new treatments at St. Jude in Memphis on Dec 14th and will go back on Jan 4th. He goes for chemo three days every 21 days.

Ben has always got a smile on his face and gives me a hug every time I see him. He is not scared yet he just turned 16 on November 18th. I believe that when something like this happens, God gives people strength. Ben is strong. He reminds me a lot of Chad. They are both more concerned about others than themselves. Keep Ben and his mom, Susan, in your prayers.

They gave away Jermain Taylor bobbleheads to the first 1000 fans but I had a connection and got one earlier in the day (Thanks Heather!). It was a nice crowd but nothing compared to the parade after the first fight when it was almost 100 degrees yet thousands of people lined the streets and filled the Riverfront Amphitheater to see and hear Jermain. That was free and the game tonight cost you at least $10 so I wish they would have done a free event so everyone could have come.

My friend and photog, Guy Lyons, was with me and took some pics I hope to add soon. JJ is averaging 12.6 boards per game this season. During games he wears a black and white mouthpiece and looks really imposing. Trojans play tonight @ 7pm @ the Jack and don't return home until next year, January 9th, 2006, when they will crush in-state rival Arkansas State.

i love eggrolls. i enjoyed an order tonight with my hot and sour soup from the orient express in north little rock. i've probably been to every chinese restaurant in town at least once and none have a better eggroll. i enjoy mine with duck sauce.

Coldplay will perform tonight on The Tonight Show. If you don't care for Jay Leno, flip it on around 11:25pm and you will catch it. My guess is they will perform "Talk" which they did on Conan last week. It was really good. FYI - Jack Black and Sinead O'Connor are on Dave tonight.
