Christians asked to follow footsteps of Christ

Reverend Father Thaddeus Kuusah, Deputy Parish Priest of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, on Friday called on Christians to genuinely follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ, to strengthen their faith in Christianity.

He gave the advice during the 14th Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, which took the congregants through the principal streets of the Tamale Metropolis.

The Stations of the Cross is a series of prayers depicting Jesus Christ carrying the cross to his crucifixion in the final hours before he died, and the devotions uses that series to commemorate the passion, often moving physically around a set of stations.

Often performed on Good Friday, the Stations of the Cross is to help the faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer, through meditating upon the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death

Rev. Father Kuusah said through the death of Christ, the many sins of human kind had being wiped away, and there was the need for Christians to replicate such sacrifice by comforting other people in sorrowful and suffering moments.

“It is important for us all to remember that whatever we do to the least of our neighbours we do it to Christ”, he said.

Rev. Father Kuusah said, Christians, as agents of change should ensure peace and lead the campaign against religious intolerance and indiscipline.

He expressed worry that society had in recent times been beset with social vices which could be detrimental to progress.

Rev. Kuusah appealed to Ghanaians not to be demoralized in the face of difficulties since there is solution to every problem.**
