By Joseph Ernesto

The Vatican ambassador to the Republic of South Sudan and Kenya has urged the Seminarians in the Catholic Diocese of Tambura Yambio to unite in Jesus Christ because, through His Atonement, teaching, hope, and peace, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward.

Addressing the seminarians during the Eucharist celebration at Diocesan secretariat curia, His Grace Archbishop Bert Van Megen talked of the importance of celebrating the Eucharist, saying; Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, “As we come unto him, He saves us, feel us with His love and brings us hope” he explained.

He added that celebrating the Eucharist is not a private devotion but rather a communal gathering much like a family meal, adding that for Catholics, the Holy Eucharist is very important as instituted at the last supper more than 2000 years ago.

 The Apostolic Nuncio stressed that the difficulties in lives cannot last forever if we believe in Jesus Christ adding that “suffering is in our lives because we are living in a broken world, some suffering is due to sinful and wrong choices”.

He urged the people of Western Equatoria State and South Sudan at large to unite in Christ for peace to prevail in every aspect of life

H.G Archbishop Bert Van Megen Hubertus Matheus Maria and his accompanied delegation were warmly received by a huge crowd of parishioners who rallied at Yambio airstrip to give a welcoming ceremony for the Pope’s representative in the two African Counties.
