“I urge all the faithful, brothers and sisters, to go down on our knees in prayer for our country. These are really difficult but defining moments for us, and so we need to pray the Rosary more fervently than before, say the Prayer for Nigeria in Distress and the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. These are some of the Treasures of the Church by which we seek the intervention of heaven in our moments of difficulty. We are assured of the presence of God with us and we know that all things shall work together unto good for all who love God. Our country has always been blessed; we believe that the grace and glory of the Lord shall not depart from our country. God bless you all.We are assured of the presence of God with us and we know that all things shall work together unto good for all us who love God.
