High Chief Kenneth Uzoigwe Felicitates With Catholic Women On The Occasion Of Mothering Sunday, Describes Them As Guardian Angel

As the Catholic women all over the world celebrate this year's Mothering Sunday, i extend very warm felicitations to all Catholic women on this special occasion of Mother's Sunday.

The roles mother's plays in the society can never be overemphasized, in making sure we have a better society at large.
We never forget our childhood and the unconditional love that our mothers showered on us. They are our world, our rainbow after the storm. The brightest stars are all in your eyes! When they carried us in their womb, gave birth to us when we had a beating heart and soul at that moment. They were like a guiding angel who had taken care of us. They deserve the best!

I urged the Catholic women to emulate the Biblical virtuous women like Esther, Mary and Martha as well as Dorcas and Ruth among others and also to shun acts capable of smearing their reputation as Christian Mother's but to uphold those virtues that glorify God.

I called on Father's to continue to provide adequate security, love and care for their wives and join hands with them in building peaceful and progressive homes.

Congratulations and God bless all the mothers in whole world.
