Beira, 04 March, 2025 / 6:44 pm (ACI Africa).
The victory of Jesus Christ over human challenges and limitations at his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension is a source of inspiration to the call to surrender to the Lord in perpetual service in Religious Life, Bishop António Manuel Bogaio Constantino has said.
In his homily during the Final Vows of Sr. Dorcas Kawandi of the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Victory (FSLV), the Auxiliary Bishop of Mozambique’s Catholic Archdiocese of Beira said that Religious Life is a call to shine the “light of Christ” for others.
“Religious Life is a sign of victory; victory over fear, difficulty, and uncertainty,” Bishop Bogaio said during the March 2 Eucharistic celebration that was held at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish of Beira Archdiocese.
When you embrace Religious Life, he said, “you must bring the light of Christ to those most in need. Not your own light, but the light of Christ, which is incarnated in the charism of your Consecration.”
For the followers of Christ in Consecrated Life, “death has been swallowed up in victory, and you are called to live and represent Christ in this victory,” the Mozambican Catholic Bishop said.
