President Kufuor attends thanksgiving
mass
Accra, Nov. 18, Ghanadot/GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor
and his wife, Theresa, on Sunday joined hundreds of
worshippers at the Christ the King Catholic Parish to give
thanks to God for his escape in last Wednesday's car crash
at an intersection on the Airport-37 Road.
He came out unscratched, when a Benz Elegance saloon car,
driving at top speed rammed into the vehicle carrying him on
a normal drive from his house to work at the Castle, Osu.
The bizarre accident sent shock waves across the country and
to show how grateful the nation was to God for the life of
the President, the congregation sang praises and said
special prayers for his continued protection at the
thanksgiving mass.
The Reverend Monsignor Seth Osei-Agyemang led the mass and
in his homily, counseled the faithful to remain unwavering
in times of difficulty and challenges.
He said in the life of man there were bound to be disasters
and trying moments and that when they happened "we should
remain firm in our faith and trust of the Lord."
"When our world come crushing down, we must save ourselves
by hanging on to God", he said, citing the troubles and
suffering that the biblical Job went through and the
confidence he showed in the Lord.
"We must see every bad experience as an opportunity to
reshape our priorities", the Reverend Osei-Agyemang added.
He noted that every day and every ending could be a
beginning.
Accidents happen everyday but the Kingdom of God "shall
endure and we shall live."
He assured President Kufuor, who is a member of the Church
that, the parish would always stand in spiritual closeness
with him.
