Accra, 14 February, 2024 / 9:59 pm (ACI Africa).
Catholic Bishops in Ghana are calling on the people of God in the West African nation to join them in manifesting unity through the fostering of good relationships with God, others, and nature.
In their Pastoral Letter for Lent 2024, members of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) say they find it regrettable that “there seems to be a loss of the sense of sin” in the world today.
“We should make a conscious effort to reconcile, to bring back to harmony, to heal the division and separation with God, our fellow human beings, and nature,” GCBC members say.
The Lenten Season, they emphasize, “wants us to be sacraments of unity.”
In the Tuesday, February 13 pastoral letter, Catholic Bishops in Ghana decry individualism that the contemporary society promotes, saying it undermines the value of altruism.
