Lusaka Archbishop Dr. Alick Banda has reminded young people not to be intimidated by anyone for doing what is right.
Archbishop Banda told the young people that the truth can sustain them even in tough times.
Most Rev. Banda further said young people should protect one another especially the vulnerable, the neglected and the distressed.
“Dear young people cultivate a deep and personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Cultivate love for the Word of God. St. Jerome was right when he said: ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures, ignorance of the Word of God is ignorance of God. Cultivate the love for the Word of God.’ Cultivate a deep and personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. My dear young people do not be intimidated by anyone for doing what is right, what is correct. Let the truth of Christ that bears with and sustains us leads all the way. My dear young people especially the protection of one another, the vulnerable, the neglected, the distressed,” he preached.
“Be faithful to the faith that was preached to you; be faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ even when the situation becomes difficult, be it in sickness, in death or even in delusion. My dear young people, be ready to lend a helping hand to those in need, be resolved to do good that does not lay itself be discount even the love of gratitude to those that receive your goodness. It is my prayer for each one of you that God may let each one of you be instruments of peace in the right step of hatred and vengeance. That God makes you instruments of tolerance in a culture of hypocrisy,” Archbishop Banda said.
Archbishop Banda said this when he addressed youths that gathered for the annual youth pilgrimage that took place on 27th May 2023 at the Marian Shrine Chelston in Lusaka City.
