imageMost Rev. Valerian Okeke, the Archbishop of the Catholic Arch-Diocese of Onitsha, has enjoined Nigerians to be part of peace building process within their neighbourhoods, communities and the society at large.

The Archbishop, who spoke while delivering his Christmas message noted that Christians must show the love of Christ through promotion of righteousness, compassion, mercy and forgiveness.

He said that Christians attract the blessings of Christmas when they shun violence, injustice, recklessness, impunity, corruption and lawlessness.

“To access the blessings of Christmas, you must make sure you are part of the peace process. Wherever you live, wherever you work, be part of the peace process.

“Peace is built, peace is worked for, peace does not just come; you desire it, you work for it, you pray for it, you participate in the building of peace. Do not be part of the problem, rather be part of the solution”, he said.

He prayed for the peace and progress of the entire country especially the leaders, asking God to give all in leadership positions wisdom to always do what is right.
