He reminded them of the importance of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as essential pillars of the season, urging all to continue drawing closer to God through acts of love and self-denial.
The Stations of the Cross ended with a closing prayer and a final blessing imparted by Rev. Fr. Reuben Ahmodu. The faithful departed with renewed spiritual strength, encouraged to continue their Lenten journey with faith, hope, and deeper devotion.
