Christians of St. Augustine's cathedral parish have been encouraged to be people of light in order for them to receive healing from Christ. Speaking at the Cathedral Church during his homily, the assistant priest Fr. Isaiah Ajiri said that light of faith heals people of all their troubles. Fr. Ajiri informed them that, the readings of this fourth Sunday of lent reminds them of their baptism and the characters they experience during that sacrament of Baptism which gives them the responsibility of becoming prophets and witnesses of Christ. He challenged them that they have been given the power to proclaim the word of God and above all be witnesses of Christ in all that they do. Fr. Ajiri said that when one is baptized he or she receives the light of Christ that helps him or her to judge between right and wrong which is good and evil. Referring to the miracle of healing the blind man, he said that it was not that the blind man was a sinner to be blind but because Christ wanted his will to be manifested on him. He invited all to help those who require their help and make sacrifices in their act of mercy. He added that they have to experience Christ in their lives and have faith in him for them to be strong to resist the acts of the evil one especially during this season of lent. He urged them to accept their spiritual blindness of making excuses when it comes to going to attend to spiritual matters and and repent and believe in the holy scriptures which lead them to light.
