Beira, 02 July, 2024 / 11:31 pm (ACI Africa).
The Year of Prayer in preparation for the Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year provides an opportunity for the people of God in Mozambique to put their lives in order and restore justice, the Local Ordinary of the Catholic Archdiocese of Beira has said.
Speaking at the conclusion of the 28th Theological Week in his Metropolitan See, Archbishop Claudio Dalla Zuanna said that peace and social justice in Mozambique “goes beyond the simple silencing of weapons.”
“We know that the Jubilee is an opportunity to put things back in order, to restore justice, to convert ourselves, if we have strayed from the path, to try to focus and return to the Synod, to walk together again, to be a people, a family,” Archbishop Zuanna said during the June 28 event that was held at Nazareth Training Center in Beira.
He added, “This week could serve to help our Church in Mozambique not to miss this opportunity given to us by the Jubilee of renewal, of conversion, of changing the style of being Church and paying attention to society, of being salt of the earth, of being light for Mozambique.”
“It is in this spirit of preparation for the 25th anniversary of the Jubilee, together with other events linked to our country Mozambique and our Church in Beira, that we are celebrating this year's Theological Week 2024,” the Argentine member of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart (SCI) said.
