South Sudan Council of Churches on Saturday organized ecumenical prayers for peace and reconciliation at Saint Mary Cathedral in Wau.
Fr Justin Atit in his homily says a big number of Christians have lost hope and do not expect peace to return to the country, Radio Voice of Hope reports.
He adds that citizens are living in fear just like Jesus disciples on Good Friday.
Fr Atit calls on the faithful to forget the pain and sorrow they experience as the result of conflict.
The occasion attracted hundreds of Christians from Wau Catholic Diocese.
