Bishop Kukah Cautions On Voices In Our Heads

"The voice of the Devil is many times easily mistaken for the voice of God.

 It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that helps us to discern and know if the voice we hear is the voice of God and  answer God's call.

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah urged the caution in a homily at Mass on Sunday at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Old Airport, Sokoto.

He said every time God sends us, he makes available what is needed for the task.

EASTER MESSAGE, April 4th 2021
By Matthew Hassan KUKAH, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese

The  Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah has enjoined all Catholics to contribute generously to the collection taken on Good Friday in aid of the poor and maintenance of the holy places.
He said there're many parts of the world where christians  are living their lives on the edge in  the practice of their faith. Many lost their lives and had their places of worship destroyed. To encourage such Christians under threat and pressure for their faith, the Mother Church tries  to help restore their places  of worship.
