Amidst growing economic challenges and a prevailing sense of hopelessness among Nigerians, Paul Salami, the parish priest of St Michael Catholic Church in Abuja, calls on Christians to use the 2024 Lenten period for fervent intercession.
Speaking in Abuja, Mr. Salami emphasized the need for divine mercy and positive transformation in the face of the country's dire situation. Encouraging intensive fasting, prayers, and almsgiving, he urged Christians to seek solace for Nigeria and extend prayers to global conflicts and natural disasters.
The clergyman highlighted the significance of emulating Jesus Christ's suffering through self-sacrifice during Lent, while parishioners echoed the call for continuous prayer and acts of kindness amid economic hardships.
As the Lenten season unfolds, the Catholic community strives to cultivate a spirit of generosity and unwavering faith.
