Hundreds of Christians turned up today to join Sr.Mary Livia Aseru in her Thanksgiving Mass at Aripea in Arua District-Uganda.
Fr.Patrick Mawa of Lezubu, the main celebrant, in his homily, urged the religious to guard against inordinate desire for wealth or possessions of this world. He noted that many religious institutes whose members take vows to poverty, chastity and obedience find themselves running after outside legitimate sources of income, material possessions like nice cars, purchasing of land, constructing several buildings and hence living unhappy life and destructed from their soul purpose of nurturing faith in God's People.
He appealed to Sr.Livia to have the courage to stay on track in her call to the religious vocation acknowledging that she will meet trials and temptations in her journey while assuring her that she is under God's intervention.
