Most Rev Dr John Bagna Bakeni, Auxiliary Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Maiduguri and Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Borno State, has called on Christians to renew their faith in Christ and recommit themselves to the service of God and humanity.
In his Easter message for 2023, he also urged Nigerians to pray for peace and security in the country and work towards finding lasting solutions to the challenges facing the nation.
He said Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the foundation of the Christian faith and the promise of eternal life. It is preceded by his passion, suffering, and death. Christians learn humility and selfless love through Easter, and are called to embrace virtues such as love, unity, prayer, peace, faith, kindness, generosity, charity, and goodness.
The message encourages Christians to put on the light of Christ and share it with others, including Muslims and those without a religion.
