The representative of the Holy Father in Guinea-Bissau has urged Catholics to allow the Word of God to transform their lives, emphasizing that authentic Christian conversion must be reflected in concrete changes within individuals, families, and society. “Today's Word of God is a message of hope, even when His people go astray,” Archbishop Sommertag said. The Polish-born diplomat emphasized that God never abandons His people but continually invites them to return to Him through love rather than condemnation. It is not a word of condemnation, but an invitation from a Father who continues to love His children,” Archbishop Sommertag said. Reflecting on the day's Gospel, the Apostolic Nuncio noted that Christian conversion goes beyond hearing the Gospel message and requires believers to allow God to transform their lives.
