The pandemic (coronavirus) has consumed much of our resources, our energies and at large our own. Without your backing, this pandemic would be like going to war without soldiers, fielding bombs at empty bunkers and having snipers but missing targets time and again.

The intellectual might of resources available in India is among the finest found on earth. The spirit of enterprise, the drive and the skills are tremendous and has skyrocketing potential to be tapped.

Selecting Honorary Consuls wisely is important, someone whose expression is built through kind deeds, forms of assistance, generous actions and works of justice, in favor of a better world, in favor of a more egalitarian world. Existing diplomatic missions can no longer manage growing aspirations with overstretched foreign policy matters, even in ordinary times.

Operating in today’s environment, calls for intrinsic courage to meet aspirations of social justice and human good. Christ inspires for this very reason. He faced roman oppression, he faced uncalled-for accusations and he embraced a death on a cross, built through the mockery of a trial. The battle for humanity’s soul can still be conquered, but with Christ by our side.
