The Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria has felicitated with the Catholic community in Nigeria on the historic emergence of Pope Leo XIV, the first Pope from America.
In a press release signed by Prince Mosediq Adeniji Kazeem, SAN, FCArb, National President of Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, the organisation commended the Catholic faithful in Nigeria for their steadfast prayers and devotion throughout the conclave process.
The Ansar-ud-Deen Society invoked the words of the Qur’an, “And you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers are those who say, ‘We are Christians.’ That is because among them are priests and monks, and because they are not arrogant” (Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:82), highlighting the importance of interfaith harmony.
The Organisation prayed that Pope Leo XIV’s papacy would be blessed with wisdom, humility, and dedication to peace, justice, and service to humanity.
According to the statement,” This historic moment signifies not only the continuity of apostolic leadership but also reaffirms the unity, faith, and resilience of the global Catholic Church”.
“We commend the Catholic faithful in Nigeria for their steadfast prayers, unwavering devotion, and commitment to the spiritual well-being of the Church throughout this sacred process”.
“As the Catholic community in Nigeria joins the universal Church in welcoming the new Pontiff, we pray that his papacy will be blessed with wisdom, humility, and a deep dedication to the mission of peace, justice, and service to all humanity. May his leadership inspire renewed hope, strengthen faith, and advance the work of the Gospel both in Nigeria and across the world”.
“In the spirit of interfaith harmony, we invoke the words of the Qur’an:
“… And you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers are those who say, ‘We are Christians.’ That is because among them are priests and monks, and because they are not arrogant.”
(Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:82)
May Almighty Allah continue to bless the Catholic Church in Nigeria, strengthen the bonds of peace between our communities, and grant abundant grace to Pope Leo XIV as he leads the flock of Christ with compassion and justice”
