    In the name father, son and the Holy Spirit, amen!!
    It,s seen we may be people punish in Sudan crisis most, because nothings is positive for us in the states. The war is finished while exhausting our leaders, elders and spirituals leaders yet a lake state is pushing back day and night without blessing. Let prayer a lot to god for forgiveness and blessing to people who have faith on us around the world. The death of our bishop particularly we people of lake states is great lost that will not be recovered soon. Bishop Mazzolari present would have very triumph at this time because he had done many things for us. He had create an opportunities of education to our young people of lake states who would have not get education. He seriously teach our young people a word of god up to date of which it wouldn’t be an easy thing to do but his present had willing them to know god. He had trained young people in time when there was no security and appreciation and now we lost him. Brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ let us prayer and remembered him for committable and vounteerly working has for Lakers. Also he helps intruders through our diocese and is important that we can appreciate him. Our father Caesar Mazzolari had been with us for many years telling us word of god in his whole heart. God delegated him to do what he can do and take him in his necessary time. Our father Mazzolari had been abused and suppressed by many people occasionally in southern Sudan and yet he did not give up committing and teaching us word of god. Let remembering him for blessing works because he left civilised society some time ago for the sake of saving us witness and share suffering with us. Caesar will be remembered for his role that he had done in independent of southern Sudan and particularly contribution in education.

    Bishop Caesar Mazzlori had gone into history as a great man of God who stood with the oppressed people of South Sudan throughout his lifetime.

    The Almighty God has blessed your work and the church you had devoted your lifetime to in South Sudan is now on a strong foundation, free from oppression and destruction churches faced during war time.

    The Almighty God had blessed your soul.
