The Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba shared a heartfelt prayer on social media, asking for comfort and strength for the Cuban people in the face of current adversities.
In its prayer, published on Facebook, the institution expressed gratitude for the presence of Jesus in families, in supportive neighbors, and in those who selflessly serve others, highlighting love and faith as driving forces to face difficult times.
The statement highlighted the daily struggles of mothers trying to feed their children, those who tirelessly seek medicine for the sick, and the relatives of prisoners who dream of their return.
He remembered those who mourn the emigration of loved ones, the victims of violence and theft, and those who face material and spiritual shortages.
The Archbishop called for unity, asking the Holy Spirit to inspire all Cubans to live in harmony, respecting differences, and to find joint solutions that lead to peace and well-being.
He emphasized the importance of working together to achieve a dignified life in all aspects: "To be born in peace, to work in peace, to eat in peace, to die in peace."
In his message, he also called upon the Virgin of Charity of El Cobre, asking for her intercession and remembering her role as the protective Mother of the Cubans.
With words of faith and hope, he urged not to be afraid and to trust that, with divine assistance, it is possible to overcome the challenges facing the country.
This prayer arrives at a critical moment for Cuba, where economic and social difficulties have profoundly impacted the lives of its people.
The Archbishop's words aim to console and strengthen the faith of believers, offering a ray of hope amidst uncertainty.
Recently, at the feet of the Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, the Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba, Monsignor Dionisio García Ibáñez, pleaded for those in the country who suffer the consequences of emigration.
"To the workers who strive to provide their loved ones with a dignified home; to those who mourn the emigration of spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends," García expressed during a prayer of supplication, as published by the Archdiocese of Santiago de Cuba on Facebook.
