St. Juan Diego, Portland Oregon – Bulletin Board – January, 2018
They banned refugees,
I welcomed them and prayed.
They criminalized immigrants, and I prayed.
I realized they are our brothers and sisters.
They demonized the Dreamers and their families, and I prayed.
I listened and learned.
I will pray! I will not be silent! I will act!
