During a Holy Mass at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Parish in Kuajok, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wau, His Lordship Matthew Remijo Adam, called on the faithful to avoid discrimination based on wealth or social status.
Bishop Adam urged the community not to judge others by material resources, reminding parishioners that everyone is created in the image and likeness of God.
He expressed concern over how communities often differentiate themselves based on wealth, particularly during social gatherings, where individuals are prioritized based on their resources.
In his homily, Bishop Adam reminded the faithful that “God has chosen the poor to be rich in faith and inherit His Kingdom.”
He encouraged the congregation to strengthen their relationship with God through prayer and devotion, warning that an excessive focus on material wealth could lead people away from their spiritual path.
The bishop’s remarks served as a powerful reminder that spiritual richness, not material wealth, should guide one’s life. His message was well-received by the congregation at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Parish.
