## Malawi's Faith Journey
Malawi celebrates 125 years since the Gospel arrived.
## Red Mass Celebration
Catholic lawyers held a Red Mass in Lilongwe to thank God for faith.
## Bishop's Message
Bishop Mwakhwawa urged lawyers to carry Christ into courtrooms and prisons.

> A catholic lawyer should carry christ into the courtroom, the chambers, the boardroom, the prison, at the negotiating table, because no lawyer can manufacture wisdom merely by reading a law book
## Integrity Challenge
Integrity costs money, friendships, opportunities, or influence.
## Human Faces
Lawyers help poor people afford legal representation.

> Imagine a poor person standing outside a legal office because they cannot afford representation. That lawyer who helps to restore that person's dignity evangelises in his own way
## What Happens Next
Malawi aims to join international Catholic lawyers' association.
## Key takeaway

Malawi's Catholic lawyers celebrate 125 years of faith through a Red Mass emphasizing Christ-centered justice and human dignity.
