Nsukka, 18 June, 2022 / 8:00 pm (ACI Africa).
The only force that is capable of bringing about positive change in Nigeria and saving the West African country from doom is for Christians to manifest true love, a Nigerian Catholic Bishop has said.
In his Holy Trinity Sunday homily at St. Theresa's Cathedral of Nsukka Diocese, Bishop Godfrey Igwebuike Onah challenged follows of Christ to “behave like Christians”, and cautioned them against the tendency to revenge.
“Nigerian Christians must save this country or we are doomed. It is not a matter of political parties acquiring wealth and being popular; act and behave like Christians and evil will reduce,” Bishop Onah said June 12, the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity.
The Nigerian Catholic Bishop recalled the Pentecost Sunday attack on Catholics worshippers at St. Francis Xavier Owo Catholic Parish of Nigeria’s Ondo Diocese saying that worship in Catholic churches in Nigeria has continued because of divine love “revealed to us in Jesus Christ”.
“That love of the Holy Trinity revealed to us in Jesus Christ is what is making it even possible for us to be here again despite all the dangers, all the risks and even possible for us to contemplate forgiveness because that love is stronger than death,” he said.
