The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yei says Jesus’ ascension to heaven does not distance him from the faithful but instead gives them confidence as his followers.
Erkolano Lodu Tombe quotes the lord saying he will not live the Christians as orphans but will send the Holy Spirit to guide them.
He says next Sunday will be the solemnity of Pentecost the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the Church.
He points that Jesus is always with the Christians and by taking the Holy Communion it signifies the presence of Jesus Christ amidst them.
The Catholic prelate mentions in order to follow Christ, faithful have to live holy life in communion with God the father.
Bishop Lodu encourages worshipers to pray and support one another at this difficult time of coronavirus pandemic.
