TANZANIA: ‘Nothing should separate you from the Love of Christ’, Archbishop Dallu tells Youth
The Archbishop of Songea, Most Rev Damian
Dallu, has encouraged the youth to be vigilant and to always remember that
nothing should justify breaking their relationship with Christ, their Saviour.
Speaking at the closing of the Catholic Youth Conference
on 15 June 2015, Archbishop Dallu said that he was aware of the challenges the
youth are going through in their lives. He said, “Despite some of these
challenges you as youth are facing, you must look for an alternative way to
find a solution and not to continue complaining and despair. All these challenges
will come but should not make you separate from Christ.”

Archbishop Dallu told the youth that
successes only come after sweating. “Avoid short cuts in life. But you should
also know that there is no life without God,” he said.
He warned the youth against contributing
to environmental degradation. He asked them to lead
society in the protection
of the environment simply because the environment is life.
“Environmental Protection is the
culture of Tanzanians and that is why green –which means vegetation- is one of
the colours of the national flag. Very unfortunate; environmental degradation
has grown roots in our society; the country is moving towards becoming a desert.”

He further said, “this is unacceptable; we
