Juba (Agenzia Fides) – Sister Mary Daniel Abut and Sister Regina Roba Luate are our martyrs because they were killed in cold blood”, said yesterday, August 20, His Exc. Mgr. Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla, Archbishop of Juba, in his homily during the Funeral Mass of the two sisters of the Sacred Heart Sisters, killed, along with three other people, in a road ambush on August 16 (see Fides, 18/8/2021). “These are our martyrs who will remain in our memories so that we can uplift our faith that God has given to us. Our sisters died because of their faith, their conviction that through encouraging other people to follow God, they will acquire what is the ultimate end of our lives”, he stressed. The Archbishop of Juba finally launched an invitation to conversion: “The Grace of conversion is always there. We must convert. We must change into doing good things for ourselves in order to salvage our Church. And in order to salvage our nation, we must do good things, not killing people, not killing Sisters, not killing innocent people”.
