In these times of division and conflict, we focus on the sacred task before us—to become instruments of peace. The words of St Francis resonate more urgently now than ever. May our prayers today not only echo in our hearts but also transform the world around us, grounding us in the call to build peace where it is most needed.
Last night’s webinar hosted by AEFJN shed light on the harsh reality that, in many cultures around the world, women and girls are still treated as property and currency, with early child marriage being a stark manifestation of this practice. This devastating reality is closely linked to the prevalence of Obstetric Fistula, as young girls are forced to give birth before their bodies are ready.
Let us pause to recognise the deep wisdom and quiet strength of our elders today. Their lives have woven the fabric of our communities, offering us a grounded perspective that calls us back to what truly matters. In their stories and struggles, we find a reminder of the sacred connection between generations. May we continue to honour their presence among us, ensuring their voices guide the way as we seek to build a future that includes us all.
