Take courage as the country undergoes conflict, Apostolic Administrator of the Catholic Diocese of Torit, tells South Sudanese.
Radio Emmanuel quoted Monsignor Thomas Oliha Atiya advising citizens not to give up in prayers because of the many crises in the country.
There is need for Christians to come to the Church to gain strength and utilize talents of building the nation, he stresses.
The Administrator relates South Sudanese to other nations that underwent the same challenges.
God will one day bring peace to South Sudan, he consoles the congregation.
Monsignor Oliha says all people are born with talents including leadership, so Christians have to believe and trust in God, the creator.
The Apostolic Administrator was preaching at St Peter and Paul Cathedral in Torit on Sunday.
