Bengbu (Agenzia Fides) - "Walk courageously on the path of faith, assume your missionary responsibility, be courageous witnesses of the resurrection of Christ," said Joseph Liu Xinhong, Bishop of the diocese of Bengbu/Anhui, in his address to the seventy adults who received the sacrament of confirmation on the feast of Christ the King. The bishop administered the sacrament of confirmation personally after having previously led a three-day spiritual retreat for diocesan priests, which took place from 19 to 21 November on the theme of "synodality". More than 300 faithful took part in the liturgical solemnity in the parish of Wuhe. In his homily, the bishop addressed a request to all those present: "No matter how great the difficulties and trials of life, always be steadfast in faith, full of hope and filled with the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit."
