The Christians have been urged to Repent and believe the good news of Jesus Christ in this Lenten season. Speaking at St. Augustine's Cathedral Church today, Fr. Geofrey Nakutan said that Penance is an important Sacrament that reconciles people with God.
Fr. Nakutan added that each Christian has to pray so as not to be tempted by the evil one as he Tempted Jesus. He said that prayer strengthens there relationship with one another and with their God. He also called upon all the faithfuls to listen to the word of God and read it always putting it into practice in their day to days lives.
The priest urged the Christians to fast against the pleasures of this world and give alms to the poor. He called upon all to take up their responsibilities in the community. He said that failure to fulfill ones responsibility amounts to sin that one has to repent in this season. He also warned that the devil from outside is their friends and from within is oneself! He thus urged them to be cautious with what they do and say. He urged all to seek for the srength from God which will guide them in their lives.
Fr. Nakutan gave the message of the Holy father Popoe Benedict the VI which urges all to Read the word of God daily, listen to it and Acts of Charity. He challenged them to be accountable in what the do and avoid selfishness and greed that can deny the kingdom of God.
