Don’t take advantage of the poor, Bishop warns By Odogwu Emeka Special Correspondent, Awka As Christendom celebrates the All Souls Day today, the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Paulinus Ezeokafor, has advised against taking undue advantage of the poor, the needy and the weak in society. He rather stressed that such ones need people’s support and prayers to enable them overcome their challenges. Bishop Ezeokafor gave the advice in a homily during his pastoral visit to St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Chaplaincy, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. He stressed the need for Christians to live according to God’s injunctions and not pretend to be holy only when they are in the presence of God. In a remark, the Chaplain of the chaplaincy, Rev. Fr. Christian Umeojilinaka, who expressed joy for the Bishop’s maiden visit, advised the newly confirmed to proclaim the gospel of Christ without fear as they have been equipped with the Holy Spirit. In an interview, the Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, thanked the Bishop for the visit, especially as they just begun a new academic year, appealing for more prayers and support for Unizik.
