Dear France,

Millions of people were in state of shock and sorrow when they heard the news about the terror attacks in your breath-taking city of lights - Paris.

You are one of the nations that never cease to give assistance whenever someone is in need. It's evident how you've supported my country especially during the onslaught of calamities. Who would have thought those ruthless killings could happen to your remarkable city? A city with rich culture, art, and fashion. Is this the price you've paid for helping the refugees? It is as if no one is safe anymore. "There's danger everywhere!", as what some people would say.

I'm deeply saddened how you've been treated because of your kindness and generosity, and that you have to endure this kind of pain. In the moment of solidarity, I'm praying for your resiliency, for your strength, and for your inner peace. Let your country be united against senseless acts and violence. Let those lights illuminate once again to get rid the menace of darkness. Most importantly, may the grace of God shine upon you...

With love,

Robbie

P.S.

My thoughts and prayers also to other countries that were greatly affected by any form of terrorism.
