Caxito, 16 October, 2024 / 8:58 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Maurício Agostinho Camuto of Angola’s Catholic Diocese of Caxito has urged Christians to live their faith with dignity, avoiding actions that go against Church principles, even in difficult times.
In his homily during Mass at St. Therese of the Child Jesus Parish of his Episcopal See on October 13, Bishop Camuto emphasized the importance of placing the Holy Scriptures at the center of life for guidance and avoiding deviant behaviors.
“You must live your faith with dignity. I have been calling Christians' attention to this. Even though life is difficult, we must live our faith in a dignified way. We are Christians, we are disciples of Jesus, we are children of God,” the Angolan Catholic Bishop said.
He added, “Some people choose the wrong path, and even Christians, although they attend Mass, struggle to follow the path of goodness due to life's difficulties.”
“Our behavior has to be modern, it has to be an example to others, and not be a cause for scandal. When you, as a Christian, behave badly, when you follow the path of evil, malice, crime, theft, corruption, or delinquency, you cause scandal to others,” Bishop Camuto said.
