In the National Day of Prayer, which we celebrate in the
city, we had once again the opportunity to recognize, as an American people and
as city authorities, we are committed - free - with the Prayer; which means
invoke the creator God, maker of heaven and earth in all our responsibilities.
I thank the Almighty for allowing me to have directed a few
words, but I would have preferred to hear from our religious leaders who always
give words that come the soul. There I, understanding the power of prayer, make
an appeal to all our hearts as we open the doors of their workplace-the seed of
faith.
Today we rely on the alliance, wisdom, sovereignty of a God
who created this beautiful country, the cua
is full of Freedoms. There is one, most important, we must not let
loose, despite what we are seeing at the present time - that is freedom to
pray. What greater privilege than this, when we see that many are being
persecuted for their faith!
Those of us in positions of government, we have to rely on
the Creator, with respect and humility to cry out for the welfare of the
country. I thank God for the group of religious leaders who joined us, warriors
men who fought the battle of the Faith. They are, Rev. Frank Lopez, Dr. Joaquín
Molina, Rev. Edwin Castro, Rabbi Brashevitzki, Pastor Christopher Alessi,
Alessi and Reverend Steve, our city leaders, quinees assume this responsibility
with us.
In another act we celebrate, for this important date, we had
the opportunity to pray for these warriors, whom we grant paths proclamations
for the National Day of Prayer, recognizing also their dedication and
collaboration in the Consultative Council of Faith, of our city .
It was nice to hear the Rev. Joaquin Molina, remind one of
the great men of the Faith was Billy Graham as great councilor of presidents of
this country; a great evangelist in time of war, hardship, hunger and
depression, standing next to the leaders to pray and lead the people in a
spiritual alliance in difficult times.
Special was shared with another great man of God in the city
as it has is the Rev. Frank Lopez, who has a power of unimaginable call. I said
how meaningful it was to see our city representatives as commissioners
together. Said that when the people of God is bound to pray, to intercede for
the nation, God answers.
Here at Doral in Florida and around the country through acts
of faith we like them - with their actions - inspire our people. We also note
groups working to lift others, feed the hungry, care for the poor, give a hand
to the afflicted and seek peace where there is trouble. And we, public leaders
in the various positions we occupy, faith leads us to do right.
There is no doubt that prayer was an important part of our
public life. Freedom is our heritage because the Creator so conceived. No one
should be persecuted because of their faith, which is why we are forced now to
be engaged in prayer for those who suffer today.
Finally, we pray and recognize our dependence on the
Almighty. Our human strength is not the strength of our creator. We understand
that our plans are not always God's plans. We know that a God who created us
for freedom is not indifferent to injustice. So we ask that our hearts are
aligned with yours and give us the strength to do what is right and help those
in need.
We ask that our city, our nation, our people use the freedom
that has given us wisely. So we pray with confidence in God's purpose, with
hope in the future and with the humility to ask God's help to do what is right.
