A priest of the Catholic Diocese of Torit is calling on Christians to love their brothers and sisters.
Father Kizito Anyiamu says absence of love among Christians reveals the lack of knowledge about God, Radio Emmanuel reports.
Father Anyamu calls on citizens to have direct talks with those who offend them or seek for the Church to mediate.
Jesus loves the Church, he adds.
Father Anyiamu pleads to God to fill people and leaders of South Sudan with love for peace to prevail in the country.
He prays that God may transform the evil deeds that exist among South Sudanese.
Father Anyiamu advises Christians to love their neighbors as they love themselves.
The priest was preaching at Our Lady of Holy Rosary Parish in Torit.
