Tombura-Yambio (Agenzia Fides) – ” Empowered by Grace, Equipped for Mission, United in Hope,” thus begins the message from the bishop of the diocese of Tombura Yambio, Eduardo Hiboro Kussala, on the occasion of the 14th anniversary of the independence of the world’s youngest state.”On this glorious day of our national birth, we lift our hearts in gratitude to God, the Author of history and the Giver of every good gift,” he wrote in the message sent to Fides. ” As we celebrate our Independence Day, let us remember: true freedom is not only the lifting of chains, but the awakening of purpose to build, to reconcile, and to renew. We are not merely survivors of struggle we are bearers of a sacred mission. Each citizen is empowered by grace, equipped with divine gifts, and called to be a light in our communities. You are not alone. The same Spirit that brought us this far still walks with us guiding, comforting, and calling us forward.Today, let us not just wave flags but raise hearts full of courage, hands ready to serve, and voices that speak peace, truth, and love. Our future is not a dream it is a task, and together we can accomplish it. We are a people anointed by hope, strengthened by suffering, and sent forth to heal our broken land together.” (AP) (Agenzia Fides, 9/7/2025)
