,

¡Esto no es de Dios! Es asqueroso, deplorable y es causa de arrepentirse y resistir pacíficamente al abuso con gente que lo que quieren es amar, trabajar, y florecer, contribuyendo a nuestras comunidades.

¡Manantial de Gracia es y seguirá siendo pro-inmigrante como lo enseña Cristo y yo también!

Atentamente,
Rdo. Edwin Pérez Jr.

Busy ≠ Purposeful

Don't mistake "busy" for "purposeful." 🙏🏽

We often fill our days with non-stop activity, mistaking a packed schedule for a meaningful life. Spiritual care is about pausing to align your energy with your values.

The Pro Tip: This week, schedule a "Kairos Moment"—a sacred, intentional pause lasting just 5 minutes. Use it to simply breathe, reflect on what truly matters, and release one thing that feels draining.

The result? Less frantic rushing, and more grounded direction.

This is the perfect time to let your important voice be heard and to protect the sanctity of how we come together as a people for just governance and moral action! By November 5, we have a responsibility.

See the article below. Thanks to Bishop Vanessa M Brown, Interfaith America, Yale Divinity School for the space, and to Dr. Leslie Vernelson for covering the event.

Bishop Vanessa Brown sees an need for new stories about voting in African American communities, hosting events to share these stories.
