"FEAST OF ST.LAVRENTIOS IN GULU UGANDA.

The Orthodox faithful of Gulu-Uganda celebrated their feast day of St.Lavrentios today.

During the Holy Liturgy an elderly couple of Benensio and Judith were joined into Holy Matrimony. The couple are longtime parishoners of St.Lavrentios Parish but hadnot done the Holy Mystery of Matrimony. They had organised a number of times without success as always some hinderance could come in there way. The Bishop congratuated and wished them the best in their marriage. In reference to their decision even during their old age, he advised all the other faithful that IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO REACH OUT FOR THE BLESSING OF THE LORD IN OUR LIVES. Reflecting to the Gospel of today, Sunday of the Last Judgement (Matthew 25: 31-46), he urged the people of God, to live according to the Will of the Lord, with Love to God and our Neighbour. The Bishop noted that, THE LORD WILL JUDGE US ACCORDING TO HOW WE LIVED AND HOW WE EXPRESSED OUR LOVE TO OUR NEIGHBOUR."
