The faithfuls of St. Augustine's cathedral Church have been warned today to keep their light of faith burning or else will be deemed dead. Speaking during his homily on the 27th Sunday, his lordship Dominic Kimengich said that faith without action is dead and Christians should en kindle the light of faith so as to withstand the temptations of the evil one.
Bishop Kimengich said that many troubles faced by the people can only be defeated by prayer for prayer changes things, for nothing is impossible before God. He encouraged the Christians to let the sacraments of penance and Eucharist to increase their faith in Jesus Christ. Giving the faithfuls papal greetings from Rome, He said that  Pope Francis the first encouraged them to pray for him as he prays for them in Rome that their faith may be strong.
His lordship added that Pope Francis the 1st  said that prayer can soften the hearts of those fighting in Syria to calm the Country so as peace may prevail. He urged them to dwell in prayer to bring changes in their families and the world at large. His lordship encouraged them to contribute generously towards  the upcoming family day in December to enable the Diocese be self reliant and be able to provide for the spiritual leaders in the Diocese.
