Msc Euribia Cruise Ship Itinerary Dubai Kiel

Message from Msc Euribia Captain Lauro Maresca

There is a boundary within me that I cannot see, but I recognize it every time I reach it. It is the point where my abilities end.

And for years, I believed that was the limit. But it isn’t. That is exactly where my faith begins.

Yesterday, while crossing Hormuz, I was not just a commander following procedures and reading instruments.

I was a man standing before something greater than myself. I felt the weight of responsibility, the subtle tension, the presence of fear. But it did not stop me.

Because in that moment, i clearly understood that my abilities and my faith are not two separate things. They work together.

My abilities keep me steady, give me control, allow me to move forward.

My faith, instead, carries me beyond, precisely when control is no longer enough.

The fear was there. But it was no longer in front of me. It was beside me, almost behind me, like something that no longer made decisions for me.

And as I moved forward, I felt that I was not just doing my job.
I was also crossing that boundary within myself.

The one where I stop relying only on what I know how to do… and truly begin to trust.

And every time I reach it, I realize it is not an end. It is a passage.

It is from there that I become more than I ever believed I could be.
