A Time for Prayer

If you would drive through Magdalena today, nothing about it would seem dark, the sun is shining, a nice breeze is blowing, everything looks in place.

Magdalena is a city of special historical significance, especially to the Catholic Church. The darkness is one of a spiritual nature. The two week festival of Saint Francisco officially starts tomorrow. Alongside the road, the travelers are pouring in from all directions, making their pilgrimage to pay homeage to St. Francisco, buy "holy" and "blessed" Magdalena water, and fulfill the rituals of the "true faithfuls."

Please pray:

-That light would pierce this town and hollow religion would not fill people's hearts.

-Physical and spiritual protection for those at CVE and also our church family.

-Ezekiel 11:18-20 "And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God."
