A senior cleric of Yei Catholic Diocese on Sunday called on the faithful to prepare and wait with eagerness to welcome the coming of Jesus Christ.
Emmanuel Lodongo Sebit told the congregation at Yei’s Christ the King Cathedral on Sunday that the season of Advent aimed to prepare spiritually to receive Christ, Easter Radio reported.
Father Emmanuel said the time of Advent was a time for coming together to share the Word of God to receive Christ’s glorious return.
He called on Christians including the poor, rich and the oppressed, to wake up and prepare for Christ’s hope, love, joy and the peace.
Father Emmanuel said Christ’s coming meant He would be born in our hearts and minds to understand, love and work with him.
He appealed to Christians to continuously pray for the success of the mission in Mundri and for more missionaries to come to the diocese to evangelize, deepen and expand services.
Father Emmanuel urged parents to teach their children the Word of God to deepen their faith as they grow in body and spirit.
