Fr. Concord Akimana has told the
Christian that they cannot call themselves followers of Christ if they are not
baptized. He said this today while celebrating the last Sunday mass of Christmas season
at St. Augustine's Cathedral church as they enter other liturgical season of the catholic church. Fr.
Concord reminded the faithful that as they start liturgical year today, they
should be aware that the baptism of Christ reminds them that during their
baptism they have been made children of God and that they should bring everyone
in their midst to be baptized in order to be worthy to receive the other
blessings and sacraments of the catholic church. He warned them that they
cannot claim to be cleansed by the holy water without being baptized. Referring
to those who usually go for blessings in church, he informed them that unless
they accept to be baptized and be Christians they cannot be receiving these
blessings if they do not belief. He emphasized on the importance of receiving
the sacraments which nourish their soul like that of Eucharist.Fr. Concord
warned those who receive the Holy Communion without preparing themselves in the
sacrament of penance that they receive their own judgment. He challenged the Christians
to reflect on how the sacrament of baptism helps them in their day to day
lives. He urged them to follow the laws of the
church and bring up their children in God's instructions.
