The Bishop of Soroti Catholic Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Eciru Oliach has urged Christians to abandon worldly desires and live lives guided by the Holy Spirit.
Bishop Eciru made the call yesterday during a pastoral visit to St. Joseph Catholic Parish in Ngora District, where he administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 840 catechumens.
In his homily, the bishop said confirmation is not merely a Church ritual but a lifelong commitment to live and act under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
He urges both newly confirmed and already confirmed Christians to take their faith seriously.
Bishop Eciru explains that a life guided by the Holy Spirit produces visible virtues such as love, peace, patience, humility, and self-control—qualities he says are essential for building strong Christian families and communities.
He encourages Christians to remain open to God’s guidance, noting that the extent to which believers allow the Holy Spirit to work in their lives determines how effectively God can use them. “
