“We are about to live Easter in the midst of violence, and the only hope for us is to trust God,” said Father Aniceto Dereh, vicar general of the Diocese of Pekhon. “Every day we ask ourselves, like the apostles in the Gospel: Lord, to whom shall we go? He alone is our refuge, our rock, our liberator.”
