You ask me what I advise you. How can I tell you at this moment when the international situation is so terrible. I look at Jesus and his unique love, at his deep compassion for the world, for every hurting soul, for your soul. He holds heaven in his hands. He will give it to you, even now, in the midst of all the suffering, if you ask him to have mercy on you.
