The Catholic Bishop of Ekwulobia Diocese, Most Rev. Peter Okpalaeke has said it will be foolish to deny the non existence of Coronavirus pandemic as such an irresponsible argument can compel people to ignore its preventive protocols.
Speaking during a homily at a Funeral Mass for Mrs Theresa Nnajiofor, at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Umueze Uga recently bishop Okpaleke questioned what one stands to lose in first, protecting themselves against Coronavirus whether or not they choose to believe the reality of the virus, a deadly disease that has led to death of many across the world and devastated government as well as individual economies.
He enjoined Christians to take news of Coronavirus pandemic existence home to avert possible lockdown even as he warned that one should not wait until it gets to them before they believe its existence as they may not survive it.
Okpalaeke also admonished Christians to always remember that everyday added to your lives is an opportunity to prepare for everlasting glory noting that Death must come when it must come, emphasizing the importance of living every minute as If its the very last minute of one’s life.
The cleric then extolled the life and times of Mrs Nnajiofor, describing her as a devoted Christian and asked the children to emulate her lifestyle, also her Christian virtues.
