Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese Dar es Salaam, H.E. Polycarp Cardinal Pengo has urged the religious men and women to stand strong and keep their vows for the sanctification of the world.
Cardinal Pengo was speaking this recently during the Religious Profession for the first vows celebration of the Sisters of our Lady of Mount Carmel in Vikindu, Dar es Salaam.
He said Religious men and women have an important part to play in the sanctification of the world today, especially at this time when human beings have lost that sense of the fear of God.
"You are aware that God is sending you to be at the service of, not only of the Church but the whole world. In this there should be no delay and no hesitation. Do as God had commanded you to do,” he said.
He urged the religious women and men to remain strong and serious with their vocation. “Use your charism, prayers and your deeds to change the world to be a better place to live,” he said.
Cardinal also asked the faithful to pray for the religious and for the success of their mission, so that the world, which is full of violence, may be converted and change for the better. “The world needs people like you, (religious men and women), who stand before God on behalf of the people who often attach themselves with worldly things without having concern with the Kingdom of God,” he said.
The event was attended by many priests and religious men and women from the Archdiocese of Dare Salaam and beyond.
