His message to this Christian community constituted that of love for one another. He urged the faithful to show love to one another just as Christ commanded his apostles to do. Making reference to paragraph 655 of the catechism of the Catholic Church, Bishop Michael Bibi schooled Christians on the paschal Mystery which he says is the suffering, death and the resurrection of Christ.
Bishop Bibi delivers Homily
He noted that the death of Christ freed the world from sin and His resurrection opened a new way of life. He told the Christians not to forget about the final destination which is the kingdom of God.
The prelate further exalted the people of God to live according to God’s wish. Keeping God’s law he reiterated, is a sign of love towards him and should be achieved by staying away from hate while showing love to one another every day.
