A priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana , Rev. Fr. Joseph Sackey, has called on Christians in the West African country to be kind and compassionate towards one another just as God forgave them.
He also urged them to be like-minded, sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble.
Fr. Sackey, who is the Parish Priest of St. Theresa’s Parish in Tamale, made the call while preaching the sermon in Tamale.
He said in the New Testament, Jesus was often moved to mercy through compassion, emphasising: “We are not called to try and avoid being rude. We are called to embrace humility, patience, love and unity,” and added, “when we live and practice these things, we make less room for hate and anger.”
Fr. Sackey, who is also in charge of Communications in the Tamale Catholic Archdiocese urged Christians to intentionally show kindness and love their neighbours as themselves.
