Christians at Our Lady of Victory Madisi Parish in the Archdiocese of Lilongwe have been encouraged to be devoted to their Christian faith and to cherish the celebration of the Holy Mass.

The appeal has been made by the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Lilongwe, Bishop Vincent Mwakhwawa, following the Eucharistic Mass celebration of Corpus Christi.

Bishop Mwakhwawa emphasized that this year Corpus Christi, Christians at Madisi Parish should recognize the importance of Sacrament of Eucharist and develop a deep desire to receive and adore Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist.

“I have encouraged Christians here at Madisi Parish, as well as those across the Archdiocese of Lilongwe, about the importance of the Holy Mass and receiving Jesus in the Eucharist. When we receive him, he blesses us and sends us out to be a blessing to others,” said Bishop Mwakhwawa.

His Lordship has also called on the faithful at Madisi Parish to be generous in supporting the church and serve as a good example to other parishes.

“Madisi Parish was established years back, so it needs to engage in practices that other parishes can learn from, particularly in how to run church affairs,” Bishop Mwakhwawa added.

In his remarks Parish Chairperson Mr. Gabriel M’bobo stated that they are striving to encourage parishioners to generously contribute to the growth of the parish and to make attending Mass and receiving the Eucharist a consistent part of their spiritual lives.

During the celebration, Christians participated in a Eucharistic procession, praying and adoring the presence of the body of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, a procession which took about 1 hours and 20 minutes.
