Constitutional President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady and Deputy Cilia Flores sent a message of gratitude today to the people of Venezuela and to people of goodwill around the world.
In a text dated in New York this Saturday and published by the Vice Minister of Communication Management of the Ministry of Communication and Information, Gustavo Villapol, the president and his wife stated that “we have received your communications, your messages, your emails, your letters, and your prayers.”
Every word of love, every gesture of affection, every expression of support fills our souls and strengthens us spiritually, they expressed, and assured that they are “steadfast, serene, and in constant prayer.”
Maduro and Cilia declared their profound admiration for the people’s ability to remain united in difficult times, to express love, awareness, and solidarity, both within Venezuela and beyond its borders.
“The love you send us becomes moral strength, inner fortitude, and a commitment to life’s highest values.”
The president and the first lady called for continued efforts, now more than ever, to consolidate the country’s peace, national unity, reconciliation, forgiveness, and the coming together of all.
“Let no one stray from the path of dialogue, coexistence, and respect, for that is the path of the nation, that is the path of good.”
And as our Lord Jesus Christ said in the Gospel according to Saint Luke: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; “Ask and the door will be opened to you.”
“Let them ask with faith, seek with hope, and knock with love, because God’s paths open for those who persevere in truth, peace, and light.”
They also expressed their heartfelt gratitude “for their messages, their letters, their prayers, and their immense love.”
“Our gratitude, our prayers, and our spiritual embrace are with you, today, tomorrow and always.”
The presidential couple was kidnapped on January 3rd during the United States’ aggression against the Bolivarian Republic, which left more than a hundred dead, including 32 Cuban combatants, as well as wounded and caused material damage to civilian and military infrastructure.
