Clutching Bibles, they come, gathering in circles to pray. "Only God on high can stop us," says one. "No one will stop us, only God," is another rendition of perhaps the same quote.
"They said they weren't going to allow us to pass. But God has the last word," another of the migrants says.
And they march, on foot, as if they would walk the length of Mexico. People of faith, people of hope, people of ... God?
It is refreshing to see their reliance on the Almighty, their expressions reflecting the One in whom they trust.
And, in America, we must ask, And this is the enemy? These are they whom President Trump would declare a national emergency against? These are those so poor they drudge on foot while the rest of the world motors around in cars, yet you, President Trump, see a need to send the military down there to stop them?
You would send a gun to stop a beggar?
