This is the time to help those who are in need during the lent period, Vicar General of Wau Catholic Diocese appeals to the faithful.
Fr Germano Barnardo Bako advises people to repent, change their lives and believe in the Good News, Voice of Hope reports.
He prays that all Christians join hands at the fasting period to celebrate Easter Sunday.
He says fasting is not by force, but self commitment to God.
Prayer is the most essential thing in our lives, the Vicar tells believers.
He also calls on Christians to distance themselves from earthly desires.
