A flame of Divine providence
Safety doesn’t exist in war-torn area. And yet fear and anxiety grow in hearts. But outbraving all these situations and feelings is only a way for surviving. This is what most of sufferers have experienced recently. However, through this experience, I have realized that Divine providence is being alive in each of suffering person. And yet it has nurtured our hope for a brighter day to come.
From the end of 2023, I have been living with refugee people in the conflict area. Many of challenges have increased day to day. We have faced not only the war-torn situations but also the effect of natural disaster, the drying out of the goods, the rising of the prices, transportation and communication are shut down. What is more, life-safety, the right to education and healthcare are lost as well. However, in the noise of conflicts and difficulties, there is no ceasing of praising God, day to day. Eucharistic celebration, teaching catechism, prayer meeting, recollection and short retreat are still animated among suffering people. Moreover, by the grace of God, accompaniment for the physical, psychological and spiritual distress of the people has been enlivening as well. All in all, the providence of God is moving in daily sufferings. And yet, being in risky area, lives are threatened day to day, as for this, the providence of God becomes precious in very moment in life. For this, by a flame of Divine providence, we’re still alive for praising God, forsupporting each other and hoping for our brighter days to come.
