The clergyman emphasized the situation of poverty in which salaried workers, including professionals, are submerged due to the economic crisis that has hit the country in the last decade and asked to direct prayers to those who suffer from this reality.
«Let us put our teachers and professors, our doctors, nurses and nurses, our journalists in our prayers; to all our professionals and technicians, men and women workers. Let us join their clamor with our prayers so that in the performance of their work they receive the dignified treatment they deserve for their work,” he added.
Similarly, he noted that the prayers should include the more than seven million Venezuelans who left the country in search of better living conditions, but who are sometimes victims of mistreatment and even illegal activities abroad.
“Let us place at the heart of our prayer our young people, our elderly, those more than seven million brothers of Venezuelans who have been forced to migrate from our land in search of better living conditions for themselves and their families, many of them of which are objects of contempt, xenophobia, trafficking and labor slavery,” he said in statements recorded and published by the team of the whistle.
