AMIDST rising tensions between the United States, this country and Venezuela, Archbishop Jason Charles Gordon has urged the nation to put faith over the fear that has been fuelled by social media, and trust in God to bring life where there seems to be death.

Speaking during a Mass on November 9, to mark the 175th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Port of Spain, and the 174th anniversary of the dedication of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Gordon drew a parallel between the turbulent times faced by late archbishop Anthony Pantin with the current geopolitical tensions.

He said just as archbishop Pantin faced “firestorm after firestorm,” the nation today stands before another, "this time, not of internal political unrest, but of international conflict. We face another moment.”
