Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has called on all Ugandans to embrace the spirit of Christmas by showing love and compassion to others.<\/p>\n

In his Christmas message released yesterday, Mr Museveni said the real meaning of Christmas is in exercising Christ-like virtues, and not just merry-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you celebrate this Christmas, I encourage you to welcome into your hearts the message of love, compassion, and care for one another, generosity, holiness, and faithful worship of God. You remember Jesus gave us the two commandments love God with all your heart and all your might, and love you neighbour as you love yourself and he pointed out that these two were the greatest commandments,\u201d Mr Museveni said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe merry-making which is always associated with the festive season should not detract you from focusing the spiritual significance of Christmas\u201d.<\/p>\n

The President also urged Ugandans to exercise caution during the celebrations, to avoid contracting and spreading coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a country God is helping us to emerge from the scourge of Covid-19. I urge you to embrace the countrywide vaccination campaign, continue observing the standard operating procedures, to curb the spread of the virus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Museveni has committed to fully reopen all sectors of the economy next year, with all hopes of controlling the disease pegged on mass vaccination.<\/p>\n
