Rev Fr Ibe
According to him, God through the scriptures manifested His love and defeated the power of death which enabled man to enjoy a new life.
The priest noted that the Apostles of God became the vanguards of peace, treasure of unity as recorded in Acts chapter 5, verse 12 to 16. Reverend Father Ibe therefore advised believers not to toy with the treasure of salvation.
He further charged women to value togetherness, eschew crisis in their families, but stand as a pillar of peace, and reconciliation.
Rev Fr Ibe in his words” The gift of motherhood is a precious gift, a fulfilment of Divine Will for the welfare and good of creation and humanity. May God Almighty through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary through whom womanhood and motherhood gained more significance and prominence grant you the necessary blessings and graces to succeed and excel in your family engagements and beyond through Christ our Lord Amen. Happy Mothers’ Day to mothers”
