THE Parish Priest of the St. Anthony of Padua Ctaholic Church in Blekusu near Keta. Rev Fr. Emmanuel Amedzie, has decried the practice where Christians go from one church to another in chase of solutions to their problems.
According to him, just as God spoke to the Ministers of the Gospel, “God speaks to every single one, but because we are too busy with many things we fail to hear the voice of God.”
In a homily at the burial service of the late Most Respected Lady Sister Stella Moris Agbewornu at the St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church at Blekusu on Saturday, March 28, 2015, he, therefore, urged Christians to endeavour to live for Christ pointing out that is the reasons for being on earth.
He lamented that in the midst of many things and distractions in life it was easy for Christians to forget to glorify Christ by their lives.
Rev. Fr. Amedzie praised the late MRL Sis. Agbewornu for being a very reflective person, who spend a large part of her life in the service of the Lord
