The President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) and Bishop of Sunyani, Most Rev. Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi, has called on Christians to make honesty and truthfulness the foundation of their daily lives.
He urged the faithful not to be afraid to speak the truth, stressing that honesty must be reflected in their words, decisions and actions.
Most Rev. Gyamfi made the call during a homily at a Mass held at St. Paul Catholic Cathedral, Mampong, in the Konongo-Mampong Diocese, as part of the ongoing Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference Annual Plenary Assembly.
The Assembly is being held under the theme, “Communion, Participation and Mission: Preparing the Catholic Church in Ghana for Her 150th Anniversary.”
He encouraged Christians to let their light shine through their conduct and demonstrate their faith in God by living honest and upright lives.
According to him, Christians must maintain strong faith in the Lord and allow their actions to reflect the values they profess.
He further reminded the congregation that there are certain responsibilities in life that no one can fulfil on behalf of another person. He therefore urged everyone to take personal responsibility for their Christian lives and remain committed to their relationship with God.
Drawing lessons from the Gospel message, the Bishop encouraged the faithful to remain spiritually prepared and live in a manner worthy of their Christian calling.
He concluded with a prayer for God’s blessings upon the congregation as they continue their journey of faith, asking the Lord to guide them as they keep their lights burning.
