為國會議員希拉李共同祝福和祈禱

週三上午我和一群宗教界社區領袖一起聚集在城中區為國會議員希拉李舉辦了一場記者招待會,呼籲各界人士參加下六月十一日星期二下午六時半舉辦之休斯敦各界為希拉舉辦之祝福和祈禱會,希望她能戰勝癌症早日康復。

我們得識希拉李是她早年出任市議員時期,這位出身耶魯大學之政治家,早在年輕時就參加了對前總統尼克森之彈核質詢。數十年來她被稱為國會民主黨之自由派領袖,她為婦女弱勢團體在國會中據理力爭,她走遍全世界為美國之外交努力,曾經參加希拉蕊之總統競選團隊,一度盛傳她可能出任國務卿。

二十多年來,凡是我們舉辦之春節游園會,纪念二次世界大戰結束七十週年及國際貿易中心年會,總是有她的参與並有慷慨激昂之演說而激盪人心, 由於我們都是姓李而互稱姐弟之情。

希拉正在向病魔宣戰,以她堅強之毅力必然會有戰勝之日,所有關心和愛她的人都會送上真誠之祝福。


Blessing And Prayers For Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

On Wednesday morning a group  of community religious leaders gathered in the central district of the city and held a press conference for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, calling on people from all walks of life to participate in blessings for her and announced a prayer meeting for Sheila in Houston at 6:30pm next Tuesday, June 11, 2024, hoping that she can overturn her cancer and recover as soon as possible. 

We know that Sheila was a city councilor in her early years. She graduated from Yale University and participated in the impeachment of President Nixon in Congress. For decades, she has been known as the liberal congressional leader. She has fought for women‘s and minority rights and has traveled all over the world as a leader in the U.S Congress. She once joined Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and  it was even rumored that she might serve as Secretary of State. 

For more than 20 years, whenever  we held the festivals and big events like celebrating the end of WWII at Minute Maid Park, she always participated and made an impassioned speech. 

Sheila is declaring war on the cancer. With her strong perseverance, there will be a victory. All those who care about and love her are asked to send sincere blessings and prayers for her speedy recovery.
