On a Sunday sermon at St Joseph The Workers Parish Church, Fr Peter Mose called out Christians who organize expensive burials for their parents, whom they ignored while they were alive.
Published on July 14, 2019, Fr Mose emphasized the importance of showing love and care to one's parents while they are still alive.
"There is no point to show off when parents die. I urge you to visit them more often when they are alive and show them love because that is what they need during their sunset years," said Fr Mose.
He also criticized Christians who display huge photos of their departed parents in their living rooms, yet never showed them love and care when they were alive.
Fr Mose urged Christians to recognize God in their daily lives by helping their neighbors in need, saying, "God is not found in the church. God is found in helping our neighbors who are in need and showing them love and compassion."
He also spoke out against parents who neglect their children, saying, "Why should parents struggle to have children only to fail to take care of them?"
Fr Mose emphasized the importance of love among Christians, saying, "we should see the love of God in every person we meet on our daily undertakings irrespective of our Christian faith."
