The Archbishop of Tororo Archdiocese Dr Emmanuel Obbo has asked Christians to forgive and embrace each other.
He made the call on Sunday while delivering his Easter homily during a mass at the Uganda Martyrs’ Cathedral Nyangole in Tororo.
He said it is embarrassing to hear that a brother does not talk to another biological brother because of disagreement that they could have had, yet the Bible clearly puts emphasis on forgiving those who wrong you.
‘’Can you use these Easter celebrations to make a U-turn in your lifestyle and be among those who cherish forgiving, develop a heart that feels for others well aware that Jesus died for our sins,’’ he appealed.
‘’Why should you hold a brother in your heart because you had a quarrel with him because of the land boundary yet every Sunday you come to the altar? Please style up,’’ said the Archbishop.
The archbishop also condemned defilement, and domestic violence in families saying that it reflects that the devil has evaded families and the owners of such families have accepted the devil to take charge of their families.
During the occasion, the Archbishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 115 young Christians drawn from St. Peter’s College Tororo and Tororo Girls School.
Bishop Joseph Eciru Oliach of Soroti Catholic diocese in his Easter message encouraged Christians to be vigilant and reject sin.
The Bishop has asked Christians to become ‘mad of Christ’ and work towards the attainment of God’s Kingdom.
He also reiterated his earlier commitment to fight drunkenness in the diocese while asking Christians to stop offering alcohol to Priests
