My beloved Venezuela is plunged into deep darkness, this dates from the arrival of Hugo Chavez to the presidency, which made the practice of Santería in Venezuela legal (This does not mean that this practice did not exist before, if it existed but in a discreet way). Bringing the Babalawo of Cuba. According to what was recounted in the Book Los Brujos de Chávez, by the Venezuelan journalist David Placer. He says that every time Chávez needed to make a decision he would undergo Santeria rituals to find out how he would go about his decision. Also of the Political Personages who became the Saint through animal sacrifices, (High military command, Ministers, Vice Presidents, etc.) receiving the protection of Caterpillar, Oshun, Obatala.
Since then, a large part of the population in Venezuela is practicing this religion, in the streets you can see, from children, adolescents and adults with their respective clothes and necklaces. I respect the decision of each person regarding the practice of their religion; but for me this kind of practice takes us away from the light that Venezuela needs.
But I have FAITH that we are going to get out of this, very soon, because the time of God is perfect and only he can give us freedom to this great nation. Maybe these people do not leave their religion completely but if they get closer to GOD. And after GOD enters into his Heart he will guide you through the Shining Path of his Merciful Love.
I take this opportunity to pray for my Venezuela so that soon out of this darkness reborn as the phoenix.
OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
LET YOUR KINGDOM COME
DO YOUR WILL SO MUCH ON EARTH
LIKE IN THE SKY
DO NOT LET US FALL INTO TEMPTATION
AND FREE US FROM ALL EVIL
AMEN.
