Bishop in South Sudan Urges Peace

“As the world celebrates International Day for Peace, we in South Sudan are at the forefront because we know the bitterness of the absence of peace. Since the birth of this new republic, we citizens have not known any lasting peace for which God created us”, writes His Exc. Mgr. Barani Edwardo Hiiboro Kussala, Bishop of Tombura-Yambio, in the message for the International Day for Peace celebrated yesterday, September 21st. The International Day of Peace was established by the UN General Assembly on November 30, 1981, and is celebrated every third Tuesday of September, which coincides with the opening day of the sessions of the General Assembly.

“For this reason, I want to join humanity, I want to join the Holy Father, in his desire for peace, in his prayer for peace and in his work for peace for the world and even more for us here in South Sudan”, says Bishop Hiiboro.

“Dear brothers and sisters, peace be with you. May God’s peace reign in your hearts and let us try to create peace within ourselves, even in the midst of the realities we are facing; hunger, lack of basic services, sickness, isolation, hatred, pain. Let us realize that God knows our difficulties; He is our Creator; let us call the peace of God that exists in our hearts”, reads the message sent to Agenzia Fides.

Praise the Lord
