I don't really believe in "coincidence" rather think it was more than that that placed this meeting of more than 700 community organizers from many traditions and nations, at this moment in history in the Central Valley of CA, where a vast number of US immigrants reside, at a time when immigrants are at considerable risk of deportation by a president who campaigned on it.

I don't think it a coincidence that Francis sent the message he did in the hands of the messenger he chose and with the episcopal support that has developed.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the Administration is about to revamp its deportation decree...that there was consideration of invoking the National Guard to execute it, that CA is most likely the most sanctuary state in the union....

I really don't believe in coincidences!

I do believe in the Holy Spirit!
