갠지스 강 계곡을 따라 기도의 여정을 계속하면서, 우리는 이 중보의 순례의 끝에 가까워지고 있습니다. 오늘 우리는 마음을 모아 다음 주제를 향해 기도합니다. 파트나 그리고 콜카타, 인도 동부 지역의 다양한 삶의 면모를 보여주는 역사와 현실을 지닌 두 영향력 있는 도시, 파트나와 비하르. 비하르 주의 주도인 파트나는 인도에서 가장 가난한 주 중 하나에 위치해 있다. 이 행정 중심지 주변의 많은 가정들은 여전히 빈곤, 실업, 그리고 제한된 기회 속에서 힘겹게 살아가고 있다. 지역 주민들의 삶은 종종 농촌의 어려움과 생존을 위한 도시 이주의 영향을 받는다.
Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, is known for its rich cultural heritage, intellectual life, and artistic influence, with a long history as a center of learning and political thought. Yet beneath its historic beauty and prominence, many residents face overcrowding, hardship, and deep social need. Across both cities, human trafficking continues to prey upon the vulnerable. Caste-based oppression remains a painful reality for many marginalized communities. Many face barriers in education, employment, marriage, and social acceptance. Generations have grown up hearing they are less valuable because of the circumstances of their birth, leaving wounds of exclusion, shame, and hopelessness that shape families for decades. Behind the immense populations of Patna and Kolkata are millions of individuals loved by God, each carrying hopes, struggles, and a longing for dignity, justice, and hope.
