Dear Friends and Family:
With so much emotion attached to this presidential election year, it was with the mission of unity and peace that a National Prayer meeting was held in Washington, D.C..
The front page photo of the May issue of Somos Primos is of a National Prayer meeting, organized by Lewis and Rachel Hogan who founded United Cry in 2014. Their goal,“a national movement of pastors and Christian leaders dedicated to reclaiming America’s future.”
The day started out rain-drenched and freezing cold on Saturday April 9th, but thousands gathered with pastors and Christian leaders at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to pray for our nation in a “solemn assembly” of unity. Attendees included many ethnicities, including African-American, Caucasian, Asian, Native American and Hispanic, with prayers in both English and Spanish. [US section]
In addition to reclaiming the future for our children and grandchildren, Somos Primos wants to preserve the heroism and contributions of our grandparents. Wanda Garcia and I thank all those who contacted the Corpus Christi City officials concerning the ruinous condition of the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Clinic site. Your action certainly helped. A fine was placed against those responsible for allowing the building to fall into such disarray. Well known columnist Joe Lopez is recommending further action which can and should be taken in support of identifying the Garcia Clinic site as an important Historic Civil Rights site.
[Texas section]
Maybe it is because of the growing ferocity of the Islamic attacks on Israel, why I continue to receive many articles on the history of Israel, revealing the unusual personal and unexpected historic events in which Jewish lives have been saved. Many times their rescues came by the heroic efforts of one or a small group of individuals. Over and over it appears that individuals are moved to fulfill the biblical prophesies that Israel will always exist. [5 articles in the Sephardic section].
At the April 9th National Prayer meeting, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn said, “As long as God lives, there is hope, the light will overcome the darkness.” As we learn our history, and share our shared history with others, we bring forth light and understanding.
God bless America, Mimi
