Lenten season: Catholics Marked Ash Wednesday



The officiating priest, Rev. Fr. Peter Ulam, Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles Catholic Parish, Central Business District, has admonished Christians to imbibe the virtue of humility and repentance, which the Lenten season symbolises.


He urged Nigerians, especially those in position of authority, to always seek forgiveness from God in order to attract His intervention in the challenges facing the country.

 “This period is for all Christians to have a sober reflection to humble themselves and ask for
 “This is an opportunity to change, pray and intercede more for others; we should have the zeal of helping the poor and needy which serves as another way of preaching the gospel,’’ he said.

He advised Christians to keep up with the good habits and virtue they have taken in the season of Lent beyond the season.
