PALM SUNDAY: CLERGYMAN CAUTIONS AGAINST LOVE FOR MONEY, BETRAYAL

REPORTER: CHUKWUBUIKE MADU

The Parish Priest, Virgo Potens Catholic Parish, Achara Layout Enugu, Monsignor Chima Nwamadi, wants Christians to improve their prayer life to enable them withstand temptations and challenges of life.

Monsignor Nwamadi gave the admonition in a holy mass to mark the Palm Sunday.

Monsignor Nwamadi notes that the devil often operates freely and captures one who is spiritually low and unguarded.

The priest also advised people against the love of money, noting that many people had done what they would not have ordinarily done just because they were offered money.

He also cautioned people not to betray their friends and people who trusted them as Judas did to Jesus.

Monsignor Nwamadi called on Christians to use the period of the Holy Week to improve their relationship with God and man by turning away from their evil ways to doing good and loving their neighbours.

Correspondent Chukwubuike Madu reports that there was a little procession where people praised and sang to God with their palm fronds.
