WFS (Word Faith Social)

Arriving in the diocese of Manzini in 2014 as resident bishop I shared a story about “bats”. 

I said that Catholics should be recognised by three things:

• Bible – Word of God
• Cathechism of the Catholic Church – Our Faith
• Social teachings of the Church

From that time I kept on wondering how to make this possible in our diocese. I wondered how to help the people of our diocese to know or deepen in these three areas. I finally came with a plan: a three year course on these three topics.

The title will be:

WFS
Word – Faith – SocialWith all your heart, soul, strength, mind
and your neighbour as yourselfLk 10:27

“And now a lawyer stood up and, to test him, asked, ‘Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it?’ He replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’ Jesus said to him, ‘You have answered right, do this and life is yours.’” (Lk 10: 25 – 28)
