National Hispanic Heritage Month |
|
In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the participants of the first monthly OLL Anti-Racism meeting we held on Tuesday asked we include this prayer.
God of all peoples and nations, Dios de todo el mundo —
We praise you for your creativity made manifest in the gifts of tribes, ethnicities and cultures across the world. Each one bears your mark of goodness and grace.
We especially praise you and thank you for your children with Hispanic heritage – the descendants of Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America.
We find you in the beauty of their art, the joy of their song and their commitment to la comunidad – community.
We hear you in their call for a more just world – one of solidarity and liberation. We know you better because of the witness of their faith, may their faith and ours be bound together by your love in convivimiento – conviviality — that spirit of unity, respect and empathy for which there is no substitute.
Keep all those with Hispanic heritage in your care,
hold them in your love and make us fierce advocates and
allies for welcome, inclusion and the common good.
We pray with Nuestra Señora de – Our Lady of - Guadalupe,
patroness of all the Americas.
Amen.
If you would like to share how you celebrate your Hispanic heritage, please send your pictures and/or short story to Liz Jackman

A Message From Our Sister Parish in Yali! |
|
Hope this message finds you all well. I am sharing with you this video recorded by a musical group. The song talks a little about the history of the municipality and natural beauties we have as well as some of the economic activities we have in Yalí. There is also an old picture of the church. The name of the song is Qué Bonito Es Mi Yalí = How Beautiful Is My Yalí.
Hope you are all healthy. We are trying as much as we can to stay healthy, but we have seen lots of coronavirus cases, this is because people forgot about some of the measures and started to go out without masks. Now we have the Delta Variant which is causing more deaths, we have seen so many priests and doctors who have passed away. Also, teachers whom I know have gotten very sick. A lot of them work with me at the school. Face masks are starting to disappear and alcohol and other cleaning products have increased in price. As I always say we have three pandemics in Nicaragua. Pray for all of us as we continue praying for you also.
Take care, Keyla
