President Maduro Sends a Message of Union and Hope to the Venezuelan People
From the place where Trump’s government hold him hostage int the United States, the constitutional president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro sent a message to the Venezuelan people calling for union, peace, prosperity and freedom on Pentecost Sunday.
President Maduro Sends a Message of Union and Hope to the Venezuelan People: “Beloved people of Venezuela, brothers and sisters of the world: on this Pentecost Sunday, Cilia and I send you a hug of faith, love and gratitude. Prayer, when born of the power of true faith, achieves everything we propose in family and community,’ says the message spread by social networks. President Maduro, who is being hostage in a New York Federal prison after a bombardment and lightning invasion to abduct him and his wife the first Combatant Cilia Flores, quoted the Gospel of St. Matthew to let the Venezuelans know that faith and confidence “even if they say to this mountain, ‘Rise up and be cast into the sea,’ will happen” (Mt 21:21).
In addition, the president highlights the power of collective prayer, stating that if two or three people unite in God’s name to ask for something, it will be granted them, as He will be present among them according to Matthew (18:19-20). In the message, the Venezuelan head of state highlights the importance of values such as solidarity, love, helping others, respect, service and the common good, especially in the search for union for the country. “On this day of Pentecost, let us ask to receive the light, guidance, and blessings of the Holy Ghost as the apostles received them for the peace, prosperity, and freedom of all of us. May the Holy Spirit blow upon Venezuela and upon the peoples of the world; may he give us wisdom to act, humility to reconcile and strength to move forward. Cilia and I thank you so much support, so much prayer and so much solidarity. We are always with you.”
