I personally feel helpless and angry when I see so many people not following government’s instructions. It seems that they do not care about their lives and others. Therefore, the government must extend the quarantine. Every day’s dawn I thank God for another day of life, and I think about my sisters who are alone. I cannot go out to visit Lambayeque’s sisters. The only thing left I have is to ask God that he takes care of all of them.
If it was not for this pandemic, I would be in my community reassuming pastoral and educational activities. It is very clear that after this pandemic our behavior will be different. We will value more life and we will take care of the nature.
This experience of being out of the religious community that has allowed me to examine my personal and community life has helped me to recognize that in difficult times we are not alone. God is present every moment, and also, we have the protection of our founding fathers. In addition, the familiar warmth reinforces the commitment of testifying that God is merciful and that he will never abandon us.
I want to finish by sharing the psalm 23, 1.4 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want…though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me”
Love,
Sister Hilda Granda
