Chilima Joins St. Patrick, St. Ignacio, St. Thomas Christians in Suffering with Christ through Via Dolorosa... Hailed for Being With Fellow Christians

Malawi's Vice President hon. Saulos Claus Chilima this Friday has been together with Roman Catholic church, Area 18, St. Patrick, Area 30, St. Ignacio and Area 18, St. Thomas Anglican parish Christians in remembrance of precious gift of salvation and the price paid for it by the Lord Jesus Cross to Golgotha.



In a joint way of cross conducted by Christians from the three parishes, Chilima walked together with the devotion through some designated streets in Area 18 from St. Patrick catholic parish to St. Thomas Anglican church parish.



Being one of the devotees and in quest to experience Lord Jesus Passion, carrying a cross from the court of Pontius Pilate to the hill of Calvary, Chilima just like other devotees also at one of the fourteen stations had shouldered a cross which was being carried in front of the devotion. 



A Catholic christian from Area 18, St. Patrick parish, hon. Chilima also led the devotion the in reading of the Thirteenth Station where the devotion reflected moment the body of Lord Jesus  was taken down from the cross (the Deposition or Lamentation)



He was also chosen to lay wreath together with his wife.



Parish Priest for area 18 St. Thomas Anglican parish Fr. Francis Takilima had  at the end of the long procession for the passion of Christ, thanked  hon. Chilima for being humble and walk with the devotion regardless of the fact that he holds a high position in government.



"Throughout the journey from St. Patrick parish up to here,  we were asking ourselves if you would walk with us in that dusty road and finish together. But to our surprise we have finished the journey together. That is not a joke considering that you are holding the second a highest office of the land"



"We thank you for being with us from the start to the end." He said
