Catholic Bishop of Yei Erkolano Lodu Tombe on Sunday encouraged Christians especially those who are not able to take Holy Communion due to the situation of covid-19 to have the desire of receiving Jesus Christ in the sacrament.
He explained that the desire is a great prayer to receive Jesus Christ.
Bishop Lodu said some holy men and women report that the devil is working hard against the faith of Christians in the Eucharist especially in the celebration of mass.
The Catholic prelate said covid-19 pandemic is a natural disaster that is used by many people to destroy faith, trust and prayers.
He urged the worshipers to fight against covid-19 and the temptations which stop prayers.
The bishop believes that the followers of the bad spirits are happy seeing bad things happening especially when the faithful are blocked from worshiping God, the Creator together.
The religious leader encouraged Christians to have the desire of receiving Christ despite not joining physically in Eucharistic celebration.
Bishop Erkolano Lodu was giving the encouragement to the parishioners through Radio Easter on Sunday in Yei.
