The Priest of Holy Rosary parish in the Catholic Diocese of Torit calls on believers to start searching for Jesus Christ and being with him.
Father Noel Oguagu says accepting Christ in life brings about mercy, joy and reunion among South Sudanese.
It is better to be with Jesus than involving in acts that give bad image of Jesus Christ, he notes.
Fr Oguagu advises Christians to imitate Joseph the stepfather of Jesus who accepted and cherish Christ.
The priest calls on Christians to end conflict and look for better ways of defending their families.
Fr Oguagu appeals to Christians to acknowledge the Holy Communion as a way to accept Christ in their daily lives.
The priest was preaching to the congregation at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish in Torit on Sunday.
