Kaigama: Political leaders do not deserve Lodi

The Catholic archbishop of the diocese of Abuja, most of Rev Ignatius Kaigama invited political and religious leaders to Nigeria to show mercy for citizens and be examples of God.

He told political leaders that if they are not read to sacrifice their time and life for the people, they do not deserve elections, not to mention the praise.

Kaigama expressed these opinions in his Sunday message in Palma delivered to Maduring Regin of Nigeria Pro-Caterale, Abuja, with the theme, “The King who chooses the cross as his throne”, taken by Isaiah 5: 4-7; Philippians 2: 6-11; And Luca 22: 14- 23:56, obtained by journalists on Monday.

He said: “These readings reveal to us the true nature of divine love, lowers, serves and gives without counting the cost. Christ did not cling to power or has asked for his rights, he has fallen, to raise us. His humility becomes his glory.

“Lessons: let’s see how they shouted” Osanna “and then suddenly” crucified it “. Are we surprised?

“Christ shows us that true greatness is found in humility, not to pride and in true love is tested in the process, not in comfort, just like the real disciple means walking with Jesus not only in moments of glory but also in moments of pain.

“Today’s celebration defines our leaders to be a leader merciful eager to provide basic services for their people. We invite leaders, in order not to be taken away by” your grace, “etc.

“Political leaders should be aware of the fact that in our country today, after the electoral victory, people shout” Osanna “to their leaders, but with the hunger and insecurity that devastate our dear country and when people are at the point of breaking, shout in despair” crucifying them, crucifying them “.

“The same happens to religious leaders, especially when we promise wealth, healing, miracles and people do not see them, because these promises are not rooted in the Lord. They shout” Crucifiggi “, even in our case because some of us are deceptive, dishonest, manipulative and self -decentralizing and even selfish people use the concretely the concrete ones that make great sacrifices to collect.

“The leaders should learn that only once Jesus allowed people to sing his praises. Always, he would have avoided anyone who had tried to praise him publicly. But today, when he was marked for death, he entered Jerusalem publicly and allowed the multiple to sing his praises. This was because yours was your hour.

“We also learn that we should not command God in prayer. In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed:” Abba Father … Remove this cup from me; Yet not what I want, but what you want ”. It will be nice if we add this clause every time we make a request for God, do not do like us, but how it will do instead.”
