‘Time for immigration reform (again)’ from Archbishop Gomez
“From the courts and legislatures to the media and popular opinion, there is an outraged, personal tone to our immigration debate that you don’t hear very often in our politics.”
El gobierno tiene su propia responsabilidad y la Iglesia tiene su propia misión. Y en mis oraciones estoy pidiendo que durante los próximos meses lleguemos a encontrar maneras de trabajar unidos a favor del bien común.
-Archbishop Gomez
Es tiempo de una reforma migratoria (nuevamente)
Que Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, madre de Jesús y madre de todos los pueblos del continente americano, nos conserve cerca de su Hijo en estos momentos. Que ella nos ayude a trabajar juntos, como vecinos, en un espíritu de unidad, para así llegar a ser verdaderamente una nación unida ante Dios.
“Our prayer is one of hope that, as a Nation blessed with many gifts, our actions demonstrate a genuine care for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, including the unborn, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and migrants and refugees. The just Judge expects nothing less.”
