Malanje, 13 February, 2024 / 4:06 am (ACI Africa).
Archbishop Luzizila Kiala of Malanje Archdiocese in Angola has called upon young people in his Metropolitan See to strive to work towards the good of all people, fostering altruism that prioritizes the needs of others before their own.
In his February 11 homily marking the 2024 World Day for the Sick and the 92nd anniversary of Angola’s city of Malange, Archbishop Kiala said, “Dear young people, we are called to promote not only a culture of tenderness and compassion, but also a culture of care.”
“When we talk about the common good, be it hospitals, churches, schools, and so on, every aspect of social, political and economic life finds its fulfillment when it is placed at the service of the common good,” he said, referring to Pope Francis’ 2021 World Day of Peace message.
The Angolan Catholic Archbishop emphasized the value of the family in fostering the attitude of care, saying, “Education in caring comes from the family. We have to learn from the family.”
“Education in caring comes from the family, the natural and fundamental nucleus of society, where we learn to live in relationships and mutual respect,” he emphasized during the Eucharistic celebration that was held at Our Lady of Assumption Cathedral of Malanje Archdiocese.
