PURCELL ESTATE, Tortola, VI- One of the three female legislators of the House of Assembly (HoA) continues to lead the spiritual walk of the people of the Virgin Islands and has issued a call for a return to a Christ-like realm heading into 2023.

Junior Minister for Tourism Honourable Alvera Maduro-Caines (R6) in a social media post earlier today December 27, 2022, said, “Get back to that place where we use to be in years gone by with God. We must understand that if we forget God, Satan will rule. If we forget God, this nation is doomed.”

This followed her open prayer for the territory of the Virgin Islands and its people which reads, "Lord help me to be a better person in 2023 than I was in 2022."

In her short but poignant outpouring, she also said: “We all should strive to be better persons and to do better than what we've done before. Yes, we all may think we've done the best but there is this little tug that tells you, you could have done more. It's not always in giving financially.”

‘Try not to be so negative about everything’

She added, “Give of yourself sometimes. Listen to persons with problems. Give advice when necessary. Call a friend or relative and express your love to them. Take some food to the less fortunate unexpectedly. Pray for your people and your country and try not to be so negative about everything. Love persons as God loves us (unconditionally with a heartfelt love).

“I pray for prosperity for my people and country. I pray that we as a people will take a closer walk with God,” Hon Maduro-Caines said, in wishing everyone a bright and prosperous ‘God-filled’ New Year.

      I’m everything that we do we must follow the expectations of what we are taught. Not sure of your religion but the lady is right. We had godly men and ladies leading before and were never in this mess.

      Did you do ALL the research. You found no evidence that Jesus walked this earth doing miracles and is coming back here? You need to snap out of it if you have so convinced yourself.

    Wow, are all the politicians here incomparable idiots? That’s her solution? To turn to things that never existed and will never exist?

    This is exactly WHY these local idiots need to be hurriedly removed from office. Talking about shit that has no basis in reality instead of having individuals with the brain power to realize that depending on entities that are in your mind and beliefs is not how you go about organizing a country.

    I really don’t know why the UK don’t just remove these clowns from all power, it’s not like the VI can fight back with force and it will undoubtedly be better for the country as a whole instead of leaving it in the hands of these next level idiots.

    Has forgotten about God in the BVI. People here is some dirty, bad minded, evil people. They gloat and enjoy when someone stumble and fall. Greed is what is running this place, no one cares about no one. I have seen the ugly dirty things people have done to each other. I stay away from everyone including family members.I am quite content living in my home with my dog and cat. Who want to say can say but I would give a dog or cat a plate of food and water before I give it to another human. You can give a human your last dollar, your last piece of bread and they will put a dagger in your back, animals will not do that.

    This is my HOME, we have welcomed everyone to our shores, sad to see what is happening there
    but just so you know, it is no different from anywhere else. Officials who give permission to those who have interest
    in the infrastructure have their own set of principles to guide them but they should follow the Constitution as well. One cannot see people's hearts; however the Mystic Law of the Universe sees and knows all, and we know that bad intentions equals disaster. Horrendous crimes happening in this country, overpowering greed, evil, racism,
    hatred, disrespect, and the list goes on.....it is dragging this country in a sink hole.....PLEASE people appreciate this place, become Better, look around and see the abundance of opportunities and use them for the good of ALL.
