Malanje, 02 May, 2024 / 8:55 pm (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Luzizila Kiala of the Catholic Archdiocese of Malanje in Angola has called upon the people of God in his Metropolitan See to speak favourably of the Catholic Church as members, loving her “with pride”.
In his Sunday, April 28 homily at St. Joseph Parish of Malanje Archdiocese, Archbishop Kiala emphasized the need for Catholic to “guard our Church, all out of love, where I love my Church with pride,” and explained the meaning of love.
“To love is to be in solidarity, to unite with others, especially with those who suffer, who need our help,” the Local Ordinary of Malanje who doubles as Chair of National Commission for the Liturgy of the Bishops' Conference of Angola and São Tomé and Príncipe (CEAST) said.
He continued, “To love is to serve our brothers and sisters as Jesus did; to love is to put on the feelings of Jesus Christ, feelings of kindness, feelings of humility.”
Loving involves having the “humility to recognize one's own mistakes, to recognize one's own limits, to have the feeling of mercy, of patience,” the Angolan Catholic Archbishop said.
