OH SAY CAN YOU SEE an historically unjustifiable threat to American lives, a global health pandemic, an inalienable right to stand as #OneNationUnderGod.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.
@Pontifex Ten days after, Holy Spirit breathed a #FreshWind on #TheChurch The believers
-held everything in common
-sold property and possessions to give to anyone who was in need.
-met together in the temple courts each day
-ate together in each other's homes. #ThePentecostProject
On this vigil of #Pentecost, we are deeply aware of God's closeness and His Spirit who joins our lives to that of Jesus. We are caught up in the new things that God brings about, so that His desire for the fullness of life will prevail over the power of death.

On the eve of Pentecost, let us remember that the unity for which Christians long will not be primarily the fruit of our own efforts. I would therefore invite you to join with me in imploring the Spirit’s gift of unity.
Ka TUMELO re lelapa. Then #BlackJesus looked at those sitting around him. He said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 My true brother and sister and mother are those who do the things God wants." #ThePentecostProject https://t.co/w1ueXe2Xm5
Faith is transmitted in the family together with life, from generation to generation. It is shared like food on the table and the heart’s affections. This makes it a privileged place to encounter Jesus, who loves us and always wants what is good for us.
No one has ever seen God. He turned to us; He went out of Himself. The Son became God's living interpretation, His living narrative. He gave us the power to become children of God. Do not seek—let us never seek—any other power! https://t.co/H22F3WDx0e
Just a few days ago, I began my ministry among you. Before all else, I would like to thank you for your demonstration of affection and ask you to keep supporting me with your prayers and closeness.
#Peace is built in the heart and from the heart, by eliminating pride and vindictiveness. Let us carefully choose our words, for words too, not only weapons, can wound and even kill.
Our hearts, prayers, and support go out to the family and friends who loved Excenia Mette. Excenia was a special woman, this senseless violence has claimed another innocent life in our community. This time a mother, a grandmother, a servant leader, an entrepreneur, and a friend. Her life mattered and we will not let her life be in vain.
“A woman in Harlem was stepping outside her building to check on her grandson just before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday when she was shot by a stray bullet, the police said.
Police officers who were on patrol nearby heard shots and rushed to the intersection of West 113th Street and Lenox Avenue. The police said they found the woman, Excenia Mette, 61, in front of 65 Lenox Avenue with a gunshot wound to the head.
Medics transported her to Mount Sinai Morningside hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Ms. Mette, known as Ms. Zee in the community, had previously owned a local deli and was an active member of the Harlem chapter of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton. A spokesman for the network condemned gun violence on Wednesday and expressed outrage over Ms. Mette’s “senseless” death.
The police said the shooting began with a verbal dispute among three people. When officers arrived at the scene, they found two men shooting at each other and ran after one of them, an internal police report said. The gunman they pursued had a gunshot wound to his left foot but continued to flee and threw away a gun as he ran, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said. The officers eventually caught up with the man, whom the report identified as Darius Smith, and took him into custody. Mr. Smith, 23, was taken to a nearby hospital and was in stable condition.
The police investigation continues. The police said Ms. Mette’s grandson was not involved in the dispute. Part of Lenox Avenue was still blocked off on Wednesday afternoon as the police collected evidence. Eight shell...” - full article https://t.co/v4ZzMwmrKN

I would like to thank you for your prayers, which rise up to the Lord from the hearts of so many faithful from many parts of the world. I feel all your affection and closeness and, at this particular time, I feel as if I am “carried” and supported by all God’s people.
Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.
Let’s be real clear: Donald Trump has fired Gen. C.Q. Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he is a Black man. They DO NOT want Black people on high-ranking positions. He and Pete Hegseth claims Brown, only the 2nd African American to ever hold the position, was too focused on diversity. This administration is all about white heterosexual conservative men. PERIOD.
