I have been filled with rage and sorrow as I contemplate the evil that is happening. Watching my beloved country being destroyed by indoctrination of our children to hate themselves and others, by the usurpation of power in our Congress and Executive branches of government, and using that power to invalidate the Bill of Rights and to eradicate parts of the Constitution that insure the cohesion and longevity of our country, by erasing our Southern border and enticing swarms of migrants to come in so that they can be given the unearned ability to vote for those who want to dismantle our country thus insuring their continued power over those of us who still believe in The American Way.
And then I was blessed. I watched a movie, Lady of Guadalupe, which (embedded in a mediocre contemporary tale) told the story of Juan Diego, a humble native in the 1500’s in what is now Mexico, who saw a vision of the Virgin Mary. She praised him for his humility and goodness and courage and asked him to take a message to the local bishop requesting that a temple be built in her honor where she was standing, a place the sorrowing could come for comfort. And thus was built the Basilica of the Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, and this vision, according to the story, helped convert hundreds of thousands of natives to the Catholic faith, bringing a modicum of peace between the conquered and the conquerors, as they met in churches as brothers and sisters in Christ.
I also watched a movie about the life of Jesus, and listened to him saying, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” (Matthew 5:44)
And it came to me, the answer to my quest for what I should do to help save my country...
Embrace our brothers and sisters in Christ from Latin America; meet them on the common ground of our faith; hand out pamphlets in Spanish that explain our country to them, that it was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs, that our Constitution was created to ensure a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, as the most favorable way of ensuring freedom and prosperity and opportunity and justice for all. And especially that it was our government and economic principles that made this a country of prosperity and opportunity that made them want to come here. And finally explain that the Democrat party has been taken over by anti-Americans who want to use them to destroy this country, thus destroying opportunity and religion and hope for all working people.
Maybe Cuban-Americans would be interested in joining such a project, creating and translating the pamphlets and helping distribute them, reading them to those who can’t read.
It has brought me peace to think of our adversaries as brothers and sisters in Christ, very deluded brothers and sisters who can rant at me now while I just smile and remember “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”
No Sale.
No citizenship for Illegals, Period.
According to the Bible, those that choose to jump over the wall or come into our land by some other way then through the the prescribed “gate” AKA the legal way, are nothing but “Thieves and Robbers”.
Quit trying to pervert the Gospel and use it against us.
It was a pleasure reading your post, it set a beautiful tone for the start of my day. Thank You
