This is some kind of leftist, *interfaith* prayer vigil. This needs to be countered concerted prayer by actual Christians.(Article is required to be excerpted.)

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

Prayer ping.

Yeah I’ll probably get flamed, too, by some but supporting illegal and immoral causes is incompatible with being a Christ follower.

I’m ashamed that the Archbishop of LA is there, along with a priest in a rainbow stole. And a female Rabbi! How does that work?

I wish these people would show the same concern for the unborn. Aw, who am I kidding , most of them are probably pro-abortion up until the moment of birth.

Christian clergy are notoriously easy marks.

Maybe then Lutheran services, Catholic charities, Jewish Charities, and all the other tax leeches aiding and abetting the illegal invasion can be rounded up and prosecuted.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is one of the worst models for a Christian family. Most illegals are not
Christian but practice an eclectic amalgam of superstitions borrowed from Aztec, Mayan, and
Spanish traditions. They venerate and worship tattoos and candles and magic talisman.

Dear Heavenly Father, prayers for protection for the United States and Israel. May Your grace and protection be abundant and may “the People” as ordained by You Lord be vigilant, and at the ready should that time come. In Jesus name. Amen

I'm sure they'd still be marching and praying in droves if it were White U.S. males being rounded up and loaded into the paddy-wagon for, say, tax evasion (working "under the table") or fraud (stating a false S.S. number).

Yeah, ri-iight!

Regards,

From the article......

L.A. Archbishop José H. Gomez thanked people for coming to the rally “in a spirit of prayer,” and said a special prayer to Mary, “Our Lady of the Angels.”

The OT is rife with verses about ‘the alien that lives among you’.

Eat all of your neighbors’ grapes you want, just don’t put them in a basket.

Praying to God is great. Remember: you might not lije the answer, but praying is GREAT AND GOOD, because God.

If both sides in a war pray fervently, it makes the war more likely to have the outcome God wants for each side....punishment and His Victory.
