00:00Father, what do you want the nation to take away this Easter?
00:05This Easter, I want them to take away, you know, all the crime and all the hostility,
00:11all the backbiting, to realize what Jesus has done for us.
00:14He did it for every single one of us.
00:16Even in the face of betrayal and denial, Jesus still loves.
00:20So I think we need to take away the love that Christ has for us,
00:24that we need to reflect that love to all, and I think we'll have a better society.
00:28Father Saint-Hilaire said, with mere days before the April 28th general elections,
00:35he is calling for citizens to maintain love and unity.
00:39Well, that is very challenging, you know, because everybody has their ideas.
00:44But for me, again, I will say, maintain the love and the unity,
00:49because whoever wins the election, we still have to live together.
00:52So we need to have that love and unity among us.
00:55He has this message to all politicians.
00:59God has appointed you in this position.
01:02Put God first and do what you have to do for the good of the country.
01:06And in addressing the crime situation, he said, we must start at the home.
01:12We keep saying it over and over,
01:13and I'm seeing where a lot of young people don't have that guidance at home.
01:18So we, the church now here in Tobago, trying to see what we can do to help,
01:23especially with young men, because we've realized even from the primary schools,
01:28the violence has taken place in primary schools.
01:31So for me, I start to go to the Scarborough RSC once a week,
01:36just to meet especially those who seem to be the troublemakers.
