Local news – 4.9.11 - By Mary Tioko - Respect human life: Says Priest

The Christians of St. Augustine's cathedral parish have been urged to respect human life and dignity when correcting someone. Speaking today during his homily, father Cosmus Longor said that when correcting others one should be humble and careful in order not to put them in traps.
The priest said that people should know that they have been created in the likeness of God and they are all brothers in Christ. He noted that none is perfect and that every one is weak, through this they can make their relationship grow.
He insisted that most time people do away with those who correct instead of accepting the correction. Giving an example of people who help others because they need help back, he said that they should be ready to help anybody irrespective of whether they will help back or not.
At the same time the Christians of st. Augustine's had brilliant moment to wellcome vicar general father Joseph Ekalimon, who is taking over from father Francis Teo who is out for further studies. However, father Ekalimon congratulated the Christians for their generosity and urged them to work together for the success of the diocese. He blessed all pupils and students in their preparation to go back to school and urged them to work hard in their studies and respect their parents and sponsors.
