I will sing the old Negro spiritual
The Old Negro Spiritual: A song that transcends time There are songs that carry more than just a melody: they carry a story, a memory, and a hope. The old Negro Spiritual , born from the suffering and prayers of African slaves in America, is one of those songs that seems to come from another time, and yet still speaks to our souls today. These men and women, broken by chains but never stripped of their dignity, raised their voices to heaven. Where the earth refused to grant

It changes everything around
Sometimes all it takes is opening your eyes to see how much everything around us is changing: the seasons, habits, relationships, plans… The world moves fast, sometimes too fast.

I remain in Your hands
A transformative confidence There are times in life when everything seems to slip through our fingers: our plans, our certainties, sometimes even our strength. We try to understand, to control, to predict… but the more we try to hold on to things, the more they seem to elude us. Yet, it is often in the midst of these moments that God whispers to us: “Remain in My hands.” 1. In His hands: a place of safety The Bible reminds us that God never acts in confusion. When we feel ove

Why celebrate Christmas?
In the Christian tradition, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, a child born in simplicity and fragility. This choice is not insignificant: it carries a strong message of dignity, humility and love for all, especially for the most vulnerable. Christmas reminds us that another path is possible: that of closeness, sharing and solidarity. Jesus was born neither into comfort nor power, but among the humblest. This story invites us to pay close attention to those who e

Testimony of an encounter on the road
Today, March 13, 2026, I had an encounter that profoundly affected me. I passed a young man in the street. He must have been barely twenty years old. A young man full of dignity, but who was clearly going through a very difficult time. He asked me for help. I spoke to him kindly and gave him the card for the Homeless Mission that the president of The Gospel Nations Singers association had given me, explaining that he could go there for support and assistance. Above all, I

Let us not be indifferent
Let us not be indifferent: a biblical call to love and action In a world where information circulates constantly, where human suffering reaches us in seconds, it becomes easy to become desensitized. Poverty, injustice, loneliness… all of this can end up simply rolling off us. Indifference then sets in, gently, almost imperceptibly. Yet, the Bible calls us to a radically different attitude: that of an awakened, sensitive, and engaged heart. Indifference: a silent danger In Scr

But on the third day, he rose again, confirming his divinity and fulfilling the Scri

The power of small gestures
During this Holy Week, I felt compelled to do a small favor by distributing a card from the homeless outreach program, which lists meal times and activities for people experiencing homelessness. It may have seemed like a simple act, but it was filled with meaning and love. Giving alms is very important, especially during this time of reflection. It reminds us that each of us can do something, even with little. A smile, a coin, a word… everything counts. Even when leaving work

Faith in action among the most destitute
Recently, I met a homeless man. Moved by his situation, I gave him some money and a card for the Homeless Mission with the meal times and activities for homeless people. He seemed very interested and asked me where it was. I explained it to him. Then I asked him if he believed in God. He answered, "Yes." I then said to him, "God bless you." The following Sunday, after the service, I met two young men of Romanian origin who were also destitute. I gave them some coins and a car
