The death of Father Bernard Lyoba is a material loss but a spiritual gain. We have lost a father and a shepherd but we have gained a saintly advocate.
His death came as a shock to all of us but l am consoled that as God has called him to rest, we have a powerful intercessor before the throne of the Almighty God.
