    In rejoicing with you, Irwin, I take the time to say a short pray on behalf of Dominica and her people–me living here in Toronto.

    Dominicans, God is Love and He wants us to thrive in Love, Love which was witnessed in the attitude and conducts of God’s Person of Love–His name is Jesus Christ. I pray that we will take heed of God’s call to love each other as we love ourselves.

    To those who continue on the negative side–all of the habits that is displayed or expressed to break our Dominica–in the name of Jesus Christ I call for the captivity or binding of those attitude and conducts, until our Dominica is “free” from the toil and snares, the strife and discord, and the disdain and despair–all of those attitude and conducts which leaves our people with nothing more than a broken spirit–in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask for this captivity and, or binding.

    To you, Dominicans, our National Anthem declares us to be a God fearing people. I pray that you all will consider this blessed nature in your minds, and that through your faith, you will allow our God of Spirit and Truth to continue to flourish that mind of yours–until you are made perfect and complete, which is the final satisfaction to God who has claimed you as His chosen people.

    Yeah! People of Dominica. On this Day of our Country, think of yourselves as God’s chosen people by your channel of faith, and just watch for the wonders that He can do through you and for the sake of our homeland.

    May we ever seek to praise God, to show Him gratitude and thankfulness, for blessing us with such beautiful landscape and waters “Dominica” and her people, who are also beautiful people. Amen!
