Election 2012

I think it's important to know the opinion of our Archbishop regarding elections in our country. The following text is published in the official website of the Archdiocese of San Antonio ■ Fr. Agustin, Pastor.

Pienso que es importante conocer la opinión del Sr. Arzobipo respecto a las elecciones de nuestro país. El siguiente texto está publicado en la página web de la Arquidiócesis de San Antonio ■ P. Agustin, Párroco.

…

The election is over and win or lose, the majority has spoken.  Let us pray that those who have won will work for the common good, shaping a culture of life that will be built on a foundation of respect for the dignity of the human person.  Let the anger and division that scarred this election year, be healed through the Grace of God and the consolation of the  Holy Spirit.  Let us pray in the words of the Psalmist, Send forth your Spirit and all will be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.

In this Year of Faith and in the spirit of the New Evangelization, let us remember that the Holy Spirit is the true source of our strength as a Church, as a people, and as a nation. In my recent remarks at the Synod of Bishops I said; "Today, we need 'a new Pentecost to free us from fatigue, disappointment, and the daily stress of our society; a coming of the Spirit that will renew our joy and our hope ■
