CARDINAL Emmanuel Wamala has asked God-fearing persons to dedicate this
year's festive season and pray for peace in northern Uganda.
While celebrating mass at Rubaga Cathedral, on Christmas, Wamala said, "Let
us not forget our brothers and sisters in the north, but pray for them to
overcome the long suffering they have gone through."
"While we celebrate Jesus' birth, we should also pray for the north through
the tough times," Wamala told the congregation that included Speaker of
Parliament Edward Ssekandi, Minister for the Presidency Gilbert Bukenya and
Katikiiro of Buganda Joseph Ssemwogerere.
Rubaga South MP Ken Lukyamuzi, Makindye East MP Michael Mabikke, Democratic
Party chief Paul Ssemwogerere and several Buganda Kingdom ministers were also
present.
"Since last Christmas, many things have happened, some sad, others joyous but
I offer my sympathy for all who went through tough times," the Cardinal said.
He urged political leaders to emulate Jesus' life. Ends
