Be honest to the word of God as Mary the Mother of Jesus did, Parish Priest of Sacred Heart Tonj of the Diocese of Rumbek urges Christians.
Fr Paul Antimi describes the New Year as the year of mercy and productive process, Don Bosco Radio reports.
Mary was honest when she received the message from the Archangel Gabriel and accepted it, he stresses.
Fr Antimi believes God is ever capable to stand with people if they accept the word and believe it.
The priest advises the congregation to abide by law and take the word of God as the law in their life.
The priest was speaking to the congregation during the offering of the holy mass that marked the beginning of 2018.
