Costa Rica has made a historic choice, electing 39-year-old Laura Fernández as its next president with approximately 48% of the vote. A practicing and ‘respectful Catholic,’ Fernández ran on a powerful platform of traditional values, family strength, and a ‘hard-line’ approach to security that has resonated deeply with the faithful.
In a world increasingly turning away from its foundations, Fernández has been an ‘unwavering’ voice for the most vulnerable. Her stance on the sanctity of life is crystal clear. She has boldly stated that ‘defending the lives of Costa Ricans who have not yet been born is an obligation of the state,’ famously adding that ‘abortion is nothing more than murder.’
As she prepares to take office in May, the president-elect is calling for a ‘great crusade’ of national unity, inviting those of all faiths who possess ‘moral character and a good heart’ to join her. Her victory is seen by many as a divine appointment to restore ‘peace in Costa Rican homes’ and protect the family unit from modern pressures.
While she promises a government of ‘absolute freedom’ for worship, her personal devotion remains her guiding light. As she moves from serving as Minister of the Presidency to leading the nation, let us lift her up in prayer. May she have the wisdom of Solomon and the courage of Esther to lead her people in the ways of righteousness.
