By Sr. Tryness Mulubwa, Kasama Archdiocese

The Holy Childhood from St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Luwingu District, Kasama Archdiocese, celebrated the Epiphany of the Lord, highlighting the revelation of Christ to all nations.

The Holy Childhood took up all the day’s liturgy in both the English and Bemba Masses, which were celebrated by Fr. Curthbert Mwenya Mutapa, the parish priest.

In his homily, Fr. Mutapa addressed on the abuses going on in society, emphasizing on how families often fail to take proper action when their child has been abused.

Rather than seeking justice for your children through the police or courts, you choose to settle matters privately, accepting payment at the expense of your child’s well-being. Fr. Mutapa.

He discouraged parents from taking such paths and encouraged them to always stand by the truth, no matter the circumstances.

The well-being of the child should always come first. Fr. Mutapa.

He also encouraged the children and youths to always obey and respect their parents, regardless of their circumstances.

On the same Sunday, St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Luwingu officially launched the Jubilee Year of Hope.

Fr. Mutapa reminded the Christians that every 25 years, the Church celebrates the Jubilee Year with different themes.

He stated that the Church is celebrating the Pilgrimage of Hope with the cross as its symbol, reminding us that Christ triumphed over death, bringing us hope and new life.
