YFC Peace March In Maraval

Sixteen youths of the Maraval/Paramin CFC Youth for Christ joined together for a crime walk from Saut D’eau Gardens to Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto both in Maraval.  We went singing praises, clapping our hands and saying the Divine Mercy Prayer - not hiding when we passed someone we knew or when we met people but continuing on our mission, to pray for our Crime riddled country Trinidad and Tobago.  As we entered the back of the church the rain began to drizzle and we sang even louder, we then entered the grotto and said the last decade of the Divine Mercy Rosary.  

  As the closing prayer was said all of us present became amazed as a flame rose up from the rocks and got higher as the prayer went along, one of the youths then led us into the song which made this vision in our minds a reality in our hearts: “ When Jesus start a fire we duh need to matches…when Jesus start a fire we duh need no matches… when Jesus start a fire we duh need no matches…let it burn, let it burn, let it burn.  As the song drew to an end the flame faded away leaving us in awe at what we just witnessed.  This did not deter us as we continued to sing praises to God asking him to send his blessings on sweet T&T
  As Moses did with the burning bush so did we as we went to investigate where this flame that we saw was coming from.  We knew that God was ever present and he wanted us to know just that.  This was not something natural as our investigation showed that the burning rock had nothing on or at the side of it that would burn, the only object around was a twenty-five cent at the side, which according to one of the youths was to symbolise Trinidad and Tobago.  We know as youths that many people do not take us on and a lot of negativity is said about us, but there we were praising God asking him to cover our country and he showed us that he would do just that, we were the start and with courage we will take it a long way.

What we saw that day was an act of God, it was no mistake, He was letting us know that we need to take the stance and work with Him to make his dream a reality; a dream of love, peace and harmony among all his children here on earth.  Let us all unite as one, humble ourselves and pray so God may hear our cries and heal our broken land of Trinidad and Tobago.
