Bishop Audu Eulogizes Sister Theresa Nezan as a True Religious and Fighter for All
The Archbishop of Jos, Ishaya Audu, has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Sister Theresa Nezan, describing her as a true religious, a fighter for all, a teacher par excellence, and a mother figure. During the requiem mass held in her honour at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral in Makurdi, Archbishop Audu consoled the family and the Sisters of the Nativity, referencing the Gospel of John 11, where Jesus said Lazarus was only sleeping, and similarly, Sister Nezan was only sleeping and shall resurrect to meet her Creator.
With a voice filled with emotion, Bishop Audu reminisced about Sister Nezan's selfless dedication to her faith and her unwavering commitment to serving humanity. He praised her tireless efforts as an educator, preacher, and administrator and acknowledged her profound impact on the lives of countless individuals.
Bishop Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe CMF, in his remarks, described Sister Nezan's passing as the exit of a rare gem who gave her all to formation, conquered souls for God's kingdom, and admonished the sisters to learn from her life of simplicity. He expressed gratitude to the bishops who attended the requiem, particularly those who came to identify with the diocese and the Nativity sisters in their moment of grief.
Mother General of the Sisters of Nativity, Sr. Mary Olofu SON noted that Sister Nezan's death is a celebration of life, as she had prepared herself by fighting the good fight, according to Saint Paul. She encouraged those who encountered her and benefited from her teachings to let her legacy guide their lives, especially the students of Nativity Private School, by making her proud even in death.
In an interview with the Catholic Star newspaper, the Vicar General of the Sisters of the Nativity, Sister Mary Iber SON, described Sister Nezan as a mother, counselor, and teacher with an exceptional touch, which accounted for the large turnout of mourners to bid her farewell. "She was a shining example of compassion, wisdom, and grace, and her passing leaves a void in our hearts," she said.
The requiem mass was attended by people from all walks of life, including the clergy, religious, politicians, business leaders, and the lay faithful. Notably present were five bishops: Bishop Michael Apochi of Otukpo Diocese, David Ajang of Lafia Diocese, Isaac Dugu of Katsina Ala, and a representative of Bishop Avenya of Gboko Diocese. Additionally, the Governor of the state, Father Alia, and his deputy, Sam Ode, as well as members of the state executive council, were in attendance.
Sister Nezan was indeed a remarkable individual, impacting greatly on all who crossed paths with her during her short stay on earth. As an educator, preacher, administrator, and mother, she will be greatly missed in this world but surely not in heaven, where she will continue to intercede for humanity. Her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched, and her memory will be cherished forever. Sr Nezan died on the 3rd of May and was buried on the 17th of May 2024. The rites of internment were performed by Father Moses IORAPUU at their generalate!
