The Catholic Diocese of Rumbek on Wednesday joined the rest of the world in the starting Lenten season with Ash Wednesday.
Parish Priest of Holy Family Cathedral Fr Luke Dor reminds the faithful that Lenten period is a time for penance and following Jesus Christ, Good News Radio reports.
Fr Dor urges the Christians to have strong faith and be sorry of their sins in order to get forgiveness from God.
He advises the Christians to help those in need by sharing whatever little they have with the poor.
‘Doing charitable works to our brothers and sisters can make us receive big reward in the kingdom of God’, Fr Dor clarifies.
The parish priest was preaching to the congregation on Ash Wednesday in Rumbek.
