Bishop Lungu Urges Catholic Men to Deepen Prayer Life and Embrace Sacrifice

The Catholic Bishop of Chipata in Zambia, Rt. Rev. George Cosmas Zumaire Lungu, has called on members of the Catholic Men’s League to deepen their prayer life. During the commissioning of one hundred and eight members at Mphangwe Prayer Centre, Bishop Lungu emphasized the importance of prayer as a spiritual defense against the devil’s influence. He urged families of league members to teach their children how to pray and to ensure that the home of a league member reflects Christian values.

Bishop Lungu highlighted that the devil targets individuals who are not prayerful, urging league members to cultivate a strong spiritual foundation. He encouraged them to model Christian living in their households, reinforcing the role of faith in daily life. The bishop’s message was delivered in the context of the league’s ongoing mission to support and guide Catholic men in their spiritual journey.

Speaking at the event, Bishop Lungu drew inspiration from St. Joseph, the patron saint of the league, and called on members to work diligently in service to the church. He challenged them to embrace leadership roles within the Catholic community, emphasizing the importance of sacrifice and dedication to God’s work. This call to action aligns with the league’s commitment to fostering spiritual growth and active participation in church affairs.

The bishop also urged members to avoid worldly pleasures and to remain steadfast in their commitment to God’s work. He stressed the need for perseverance in the face of challenges, encouraging league members to uphold the values of faith, humility, and service. His message reflects the broader Catholic emphasis on spiritual discipline and the pursuit of a life aligned with Christian teachings.

Bishop Lungu’s appeal to deepen prayer life and live out Christian values underscores the role of the Catholic Men’s League in promoting spiritual development within the community. His words resonate with the biblical call to seek justice, mercy, and humble service, as seen in Micah 6:8. Through prayer and action, the league members are encouraged to embody these principles in their personal and communal lives.
