May 2016 notification letter:
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
