The Catechist of the St. Martha’s Parish in Kasoa,
Mr. Joseph Tawiah has called on all Ghanaians especially Christians to love one
another and be united no matter the background of a person.
He made this call in a speech as part of the
week celebration to mark the feast of Martha, the Patron Saint of St. Martha’s
Parish on the topic “Love and Unity –
Benefits of a Prayer”.
Mr. Tawiah said love should come from the heart
and that nothing should be expected in return when love is shown to mankind.
“We must love one another because God is love
and anyone who does not love one another does not know God”, he said.
“We deceive ourselves when we say we love God
whom we have not seen and yet hate our brothers and sisters whom we see”, he
added.
According to him, each person in the world has
a duty to perform and added that peace and unity will prevail if everyone
performs his or her duties.
He urged all Christians not to give up in
prayers, that prayer is a way of communicating with God but was quick to add
that prayers are answered when “we love one another just as God has loved us”.
He said that a Christian who does not pray goes
through lots of temptations and charged them not to lose faith in the petitions
they put before God
