Ouagadougou: Father Charles Wanga urged the Catholic faithful on Friday to increase acts of charity and mercy in favor of the most deprived, particularly during this Lent period.
Friday in the middle of the day, the Catholic faithful of the Cathedral parish of Ouagadougou met to pray the Stations of the Cross.
This act of faith which takes place every Friday during the Lenten season, allows the faithful to meditate on the sufferings of Jesus Christ from his arrest to his crucifixion and to relive his resurrection.
Father Charles Wanga, who led the prayer, invited the faithful to take the example of Christ, particularly through acts of charity and mercy towards the needy.
During the mass that followed, the priest asked the parishioners to abandon wickedness and persevere in good deeds, as recommended by the Prophet Ezekiel.
For Charles Wanga, we must avoid outbursts of anger and insults as taught by Christ himself.
