In the Midst of Tension, We Choose Hope

We are living in uncertain times. Social, political, and economic tension often threatens to steal our peace. But it’s precisely in moments like these that we must return to what truly matters: being surrounded by people who share our faith, hope, and purpose.

Yesterday, I had the blessing of spending an unforgettable day with mothers, fathers, children, and community leaders. We came together not just to gather, but to remind ourselves that we are not alone. We are part of a spiritual family that walks together, prays together, and believes that a better world begins with us.

The laughter of children, sincere conversations, warm embraces, prayers, and the unity that filled every corner were a balm for the soul. In the midst of the chaos in the world, there are still places where love, solidarity, and living faith reign.

God is still at work. And He works through willing hearts like those who gathered yesterday.

Let us continue to cultivate spaces like these, where we grow in community, strengthen our faith, and remember that we were not born just to survive... but to transform.

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”— Matthew 18:20
