Good Friday Service

Good Friday Service

In a Solemn service at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Ndola, Rt. Rev. Dr. Benjamin Phiri, the Bishop of Ndola, led the congregation in solemn observance of Good Friday. This holy day holds profound significance in the Christian calendar, marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his ultimate sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. During the service, the veneration of the Cross took center stage, as Bishop Phiri led the faithful in reflecting on the profound symbolism of this act. As the congregation approached the Cross with reverence and humility, it served as a stark reminder of the suffering endured by Jesus for the salvation of mankind. In his homily, Bishop Phiri urged the church to contemplate the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice and to recognize our own role in his crucifixion through our words and actions when we stray from his teachings. He implored the faithful to align their lives with the teachings of Christ, emphasizing the importance of living in accordance with his love and grace. As we commemorate Good Friday, let us heed Bishop Phiri’s call to reflect on the profound sacrifice of Jesus Christ and strive to live lives that honor his teachings. May we be inspired to walk in the footsteps of Christ, embodying his love, compassion, and grace in all that we do.
