00:06In these challenging times, remember that in the face of adversity, love and faith are your steadfast guides.
00:12Just as I calm the stormy seas, so too can peace be found within your heart.
00:17Jesus Christ is our Savior.
00:21He is our hope.
00:25He is our strength.
00:29Many people came to talk with him.
