Show love and respect to daughters’ choices in marriage and give them freedom to choose who they want to marry in their lives, Fr. Leonsio Omina Okwormoi of the Catholic Diocese of Torit urges parents.
He mentions that a lady should marry the man who can love her and the entire family so that it brings unity, Radio Emmanuel reported.
Fr. Omina adds that parents have to bring the children whom they can love and take their responsibilities.
He advises Christians to trust in God the Almighty Father, not human power and strength.
“ We should love our own daughters so we have to give them also the freedom of choose, so that the men who love her my daughter is really a man who also love us as a family, then we are united by God’s grace and say yes that is the blessing of the family and then we need to cooperate with God to bring more lives to this world we cooperate as parent with God to bring children whom we are to love all happily you take them as a responsibility because you are now a father and you are a mother to this children so we have been told we must not trust in human power and strength but we must put our trust in God”, he tells believers.
The priest is calling on the believers to keep the commandments, so that they can have blessings from God in their lives.
He encourages the faithful to continue praying to God for the give of lives, so that they can have love and happiness in their families.
“The blessing of God that is talk on the Gospel should be the blessing that can be in our families in our lives all we as the children of God let the blessing be for keeping our command so that in this way we can have unity in ourselves. Therefore let us pray so that if that blessing is there, that why we thank God today in his faith let him give us the love of this word, so that one day we can develop in this way, so that we can give to our young people like girls and boys take can see with love and happiness”, Fr Omina says.
