The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo - Liberation (Philippians 4:13)

Source: Liberation history73 words

During Argentina's Dirty War, mothers whose children were "disappeared" began marching weekly in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo, demanding answers. They faced threats, ridicule, danger. They were ordinary women—housewives, grandmothers—who found strength they didn't know they had. Thirty years later, they were still marching, and their witness helped topple the regime. Philippians 4:13 speaks to the marginalized: strength for the struggle isn't individual heroism but solidarity. Through Christ, ordinary people become extraordinary resisters.
