Luanda, 21 February, 2024 / 8:18 pm (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Luzizila Kiala of the Catholic Archdiocese of Malanje in Angola has called upon liturgy coordinators in the Southern African nation to adhere to the established norms in their apostolate during liturgical celebrations.
In his homily during the closing Mass of the First National Meeting of Liturgy Coordinators in Angola, Archbishop Kiala invited the diocesan coordinators and members of the national liturgy secretariat to foster family living, “walking together in faith towards Easter.”
“We feel an urgent need to walk together in faith, to celebrate the mysteries together while respecting liturgical norms; not everyone doing their own thing, but following the norms of the liturgy, walking together,” the Angolan Catholic Archbishop said during the February 18 event that was held at Sacred Heart of Jesus Major Seminary in Luanda.
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) reiterated the need for togetherness during the Lenten Season.
“The most important thing is to walk together towards Easter so that our covenant with God is renewed, starting with a new heart, a new life, new families, with hope for a renewed world,” he said.
