A catholic clergy in Mpulungu District has encouraged the men of Stella Maris Parish to resist the temptation of prioritising their careers over family responsibilities.
Stella Maris Priest Fr Joseph Kondolo emphasized the significance of men taking charge of their families and homes highlighting that a man’s role in the family is not just a moral expectation, but a crucial component in building a great nation.
Speaking during the browsing of the Catholic Men’s League mass, Fr. Kondolo stressed that a man’s home is where he can practice true leadership and nurture his loved ones.
He cited the importance of a man’s role in setting a foundation for a happy and harmonious family.
“A man is the head of the household, and its his duty to ensure that his family feels loved, cared for, and protected, when a man prioritises his family, he becomes a source of strength, support, and inspiration to his loved ones,” he said.
Fr. Kondolo said with the increasing pressures of modern life, its easy for men to become disconnected from their families.
He highlighted that men should not just be seen as providers, but should also be actively engaged in shaping the future of their families as there is a need for men to be more involved in family decision-making processes.
Fr. Kondolo said When men are involved in family matters, they become more invested in the well-being of their loved ones.
He also emphasised the importance of men to have positive behavior for their children as it is a unique opportunity that God has placed on them.
“Men have a unique opportunity to shape the values and character of their children, when men demonstrate responsible behavior, they set a positive example for their children to follow,” he said.
The clergyman acknowledged that being a responsible family man requires effort, patience, and sacrifice and also encouraged the men of Stella Maris Parish to rise to the challenge and prioritize their family responsibilities.
He disclosed that when men are emotionally intelligent, they become more empathetic and better equipped to handle family challenges.
Fr. Kondolo encouraged the men of Stella Maris Parish to seek guidance and support when needed saying men should not be afraid to ask for help when they need it in addition to prioritising family responsibilities.
He said seeking guidance from family members, friends, or spiritual leaders can help them become better husbands, fathers, and role models in the world that needs more role models.
Fr. Kondolo said the message serves as a reminder that building a great nation starts with building strong families and by prioritising family responsibilities, men can become a source of strength, support, and inspiration to their loved ones, and help create a brighter future for generations to come.
