His Eminence Emanuel Cardinal Wamala has challenged Ugandans never to be derailed by hard situations to forget God but rather grow stronger in faith and in the Lord, the provider of everything.
In his message at the awarding ceremony of the best students in the “Try Prayer Contest” organized by the Holy Cross Family Ministries at their offices in Nsambya, Cardinal Wamala said a prayer brings people together and give a new sense of direction and understanding right from God.
He hailed the Holy Cross Family Ministries East Africa district that involves Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania for helping students to learn praying especially the holy rosary that healed the founder of holy cross congregation Fr. Patrick Peyton who had almost failed to be ordained a priest due to Tuberculosis illness in the 20th Century.
The Director of Holy Cross Family Ministries East Africa, Fr. Lenard Olobo said they are striving to see that families and communities put their discernment in prayer instead of witchcraft or other gods
