A Catholic Priest in the Diocese of Torit is appealing to the faithful to clean their hearts through repentance.
Fr. Nelson Afatio calls on Christians to listen to the gospel to strengthen their faith in Christ, Radio Emmanuel reports.
He adds that repentance is the only means Christians can use to approach God because he is kind and humble.
“If there is something which is special in live we must bare for it, we suppose to put on new garment, the new garment it means we are suppose to strength our heart, clean our hearts how do we clean we need to repent and belief in the Gospel, it is found exactly the connection of the Lenten season with Advent, normally during Lenten season we say repent and belief in the Gospel and today exactly, we must be able to repent, repentance it means that we approach God in a very humble way our God is not the God who punishes”, said Fr Afatio.
He reminds Christians to love God and forgive one another.
“God will never abandon his own creation, the same God is the same God whom we love, make the beauty of God realize in your heart, the mercy surprises all other mercies and it must be followed by forgiveness is something very difficult as we look toward the birth of Christ we must be calculated and incarnated with gift and the wisdom of God make managers in your heart”.
The Catholic Priest was giving his remarks to the Congregation on Sunday at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral Parish in Torit.
