Accra, 14 April, 2022 / 11:30 pm (ACI Africa).
Catholic Bishops in Ghana have, in their Easter 2022 message, called on followers of Christ in the West African nation to persistently pray for peace amid violent conflict in the country and elsewhere.
In their Easter message circulated under theme, “Returning to Galilee, Finding the Path to Peace and Hope in a Time of Crisis”, members of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) appeal for prayers for peace in Ghana’s Bawku region, and for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
“Let us never get tired of praying for peace, because a Church on its knees is stronger than an army on its feet,” the Catholic Bishops in Ghana say in their message dated Monday, April 11.
They add, “As Christians, our faith tells us that prayer can help bring about peace in times and places of war.”
In the statement signed by GCBC President, Archbishop Philip Naameh of Tamale Archdiocese, the Catholic Church leaders say the resurrection of Christ is a call to all humanity, especially Christians, to “break the barriers that keep us separated or divided.”
