Today, I was once again touched by the warmth and affection of the people of Jalpaiguri, who have always received me with such generosity of spirit. I was glad to spend time with local residents, engaging in meaningful interactions and sharing in moments of spontaneous cultural expression that reflect the rich ethos of our land. The people of Bengal remain closest to my heart. They are my greatest strength and inspiration.
I also had the opportunity to visit St. Lucy Church in Batabari, where I interacted with members of the community and the Fathers, and offered my prayers for peace, prosperity, and the well-being of all. I pray to the Almighty to guide us, protect us from forces of division and discrimination, and keep us united as one family.
