Letters from Br. Błażej: Night 288

Capuchin Communications

December 9, 2022

Since morning Kharkiv, Mykolaiv have been fired with missiles. People are suffering. Peripheral cities and the capital remain without light.
Rules: 2 hours light, 5 hours without light, and so on alternately. Practically, in the cold, without water, internet etc. God, give us peace!
At our place, the morning is calm. We do not know what the new day will bring. I pray for peace!

The Word… “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the LORD your God, instructing you in what is useful, directing you in the path that you walk. O, if you would heed my commandments, your peace would become like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Thy offspring would be like the sand, and like its grains thy seedlings. Your name would never be removed or blotted out from before my face!”
A word for people at war, not just in Ukraine: “O, if you would heed my commandments, your peace would become like a river…” First Commandment… “Listen, Israel…” Hear…
Come, Lord Jesus!

Let’s remember, to sustain the spirit of patriotism:
