I'm asking if you can light a candle tonight and say a prayer of forgiveness for us all for what we have done to our mother (earth). </span> <span style="font-size: 12px;">Tomorrow, Friday, February 14th, the U.S. Supreme Court judges will again discuss to take up our case, to either grant us or deny us a hearing. This case is about the Spirit of Mother Earth, the first and most important gift from God to us all. If we are granted, not only America, but the world will hear and remember God's commandments as well as Jesus' words of the importance of every creation. If we are denied, colonization will continue, corporations will rule the world and definitely lead us to no return. So let us pray, that everyone's spirit will reconnect so that God will prevail. Our case is about why </span> <span style="font-size: 12px;">we all exist, why we must protect the sacred, so that true healing will begin.
