Christians in Rwakabengo B, Rukungiri Municipality, have been urged to cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving by focusing on the positive aspects of life rather than dwelling on the negative.
The call was made by Rev. Father Henry Barekye, assistant parish priest at Christ the King Church, during a thanksgiving Mass held today in the Small Christian Communities of St. Jude and St. Cecilia.
Rev. Father Henry emphasized that Christians should maintain unwavering faith in God, avoid complaining, and nurture gratitude, noting that being thankful attracts blessings from the Almighty.
“Having a positive attitude towards life is one of the hallmarks of a good Christian. A life of ingratitude does not please God,” he said. He added that those who rely solely on God remain unshaken by challenges, confident that their future is secure in Him.
The priest further underscored the importance of hope, assuring believers that God answers the prayers of those who trust Him and never abandons His children.
Kyomuhangi Gudelia, chairperson of the St. Jude Small Christian Community, thanked God for the continued growth and strength of their communities. “Our strength lies in the Lord, and that is why we gather to express our gratitude for His countless mercies towards us and our parish, Christ the King Church,” she said.
During the Mass, a total of UGX 914,200 was collected from congregants as part of the thanksgiving offerings.
