Rev Fr Bernard Kyei, the Priest –in-Charge of St John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia in the Adentan Municipality of the Accra Diocese, has advised Christians to take delight in working for Christ by carrying out charitable acts to store up treasures for themselves in heaven.
“Acts of charity and the ardent desire to attend to the needs of others,cover a multitude of sins, and this is the only way you can let the less-privileged in society feel the love of Christ that they are also children of God,” he said.
In a homily recently at the church, he warned the faithful to be wary of material things in this world since they were vanity of vanities and possessed fleeting glory, adding that they should not entertain vices like greed, anger, envy, and lust among others.
He said God had endowed them with spiritual blessings, so they should not look down on themselves but use the gifts they had to serve God and help their communities with their talents.
Rev Kyei asked them to humble themselves just as Christ had humbled himself to assume human nature, adding that having been buried with Christ in baptism was a sign of humility.
He advised the faithful not to feel reluctant in rendering selfless services in church since they attracted blessings and favours from God.
In a related development, Madam Victoria Kpornyo, a Marian devotee and member of the church who celebrated her 75th birthday with gratitude to God, donated a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the church.
The President of the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), Mr Edward Adimazoya and the Vice-President, Nana EfuaSasahll, who received the gift on behalf of the church, thanked the donor for her gesture.
