Prayer for Peace and National Guidance Service Highlights

In a heartfelt service aimed at promoting peace and unity, attendees gathered to pray for the world's peace. The service, imbued with traditional hymns and prayers, emphasized the importance of faith in overcoming hardships. The readings included powerful messages from the Book of Jeremiah, the Letter to the Hebrews, and the Gospel of Mark – illustrating themes of faith, hope, and divine mercy. Notably, the story of Bartimaeus, a blind man who regained his sight through faith in Jesus, served as a lesson on perseverance and the transformative power of belief. The service also marked the beginning of a novena to the Mother of God, calling for divine assistance as the nation approaches significant elections. Participants reflected on a woman’s journey to faith after decades of doubt, highlighting the power of divine intervention and reconciliation. This community gathering underscored not only individual faith but collective responsibility in prayer and action, as they seek guidance from Mary, the Immaculate Conception, during turbulent times.
