According to him, more attention is being focused on only female children without knowing that most male children suffer same abuse.
“Most of our male children are being sexualy assaulted by their neighbours, friends and relatives which most times go unnoticed,” he said.
He, however, urged mothers to be close to their children to understand their sexual life.
According to him, it is during discussion with their children that they review most of the secrets.
Francis noted that the adults that assault these children always threaten them not to tell anybody about it.
He, therefore, admonished parents to live a holy life to bring up their children in the ways of the Lord.
He advised the candidates to always emulate people that live a holy life and also study the work of God.
First Holy Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a life of a catholic faithful.
It means that person has received the Sacrament of the Eucharist the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
