LETTER FROM OUR BISHOP TAMAYO

WE KNOW THEIR NAMES By: Most Rev. James A. Tamayo, Bishop of the Diocese of Laredo

In March of this year, when COVID-19 began to spread across the United

States, we were not sure how it would impact us. As the months have passed, we have

seen how harmful, and at times deadly, the novel coronavirus is. Health and govern-

ment officials have encouraged and mandated safety precautions in an effort to protect

every person on our society. As people of faith, we know that God tells us to look out

for one another, and to do our part to help prevent the spread of the pandemic.

We have seen across the territory of the Diocese of Laredo- from Maverick

County to Zapata County and from Webb County to Jim Hogg County– the real dan-

ger of this virus. Initially, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions were thought to be most

vulnerable to experiencing severe symptoms. As the number of cases has risen over time, health officials

have confirmed that the virus affects people of all ages from young children to seemingly healthy young

adults. Sadly, with the growing number of people who have tested positive to COVID-19, we have also wit-

nessed a dramatic increase in the number of deaths throughout our community and the world.

Daily, the news reports on television, in the newspapers and throughout the social media platforms

inform us that the coronavirus and its negative impact in our world is rapidly spreading. Sadly, it is not just

that the numbers are rising, but we recognize that the virus is affecting the cities and town in which we live.

Brothers and sisters, now when we see the numbers increase, we realize it is no longer just “a number.” The

numbers represent our family members: our sons and daughters, our parents and grandparents. WE KNOW

THEIR NAMES. They are our coworkers, our neighbors and our friends. While hospitals rightfully

maintain confidentiality and do not disclose identities, WE KNOW THEIR NAMES. No longer is this

pandemic “out there.” It is in our midst: our homes, our work place and in every corner of our community.

We call to mind those who have lost their battle with the virus as well as those who are currently struggling

to fight it.

What should we do? We must follow the advice of health and government officials. We have a moral

obligation to take these precautions seriously– if not to protect ourselves, then to safeguard those around us

who may be more susceptible to severe and life-threatening symptoms of the virus. We must wear masks in

public, continue to social distance and diligently practice basic hygiene habits.

It is heartening to know that so many people of faith and goodwill are offering prayers to God who

remains ever present with us. He hears our prayers. He comforts the sick and suffering. He receives our

beloved dead. HE KNOWS THEIR NAMES. He is our Father.

Our prayers are an expression of our faith in Jesus who accepted His cross, and with unconditional

love, offered His life for us. In the midst of our uncertainly, anxiety and pain, God’s love endures and will be

victorious.

I propose to believers of every faith group that we unite spiritually though prayer and fasting. In

conversation with priests and spiritual leaders of various faith denominations, I invite you to join in three

days of prayer and fasting from Monday, July 27 –Wednesday, July 29, 2020.

In the context of the pandemic we are facing, our three days of prayer and fasting should include our

sincere petition to God to protect us from this coronavirus pandemic and guide us through this time. Our

fasting should begin with abstinence from actions which have been shown to spread the virus. And so, I urge

you to avoid social gatherings; fast from ignoring the face mask protocol, and instead, choose to wear your

mask in public; and refrain from being in close proximity with others.

Of course, there is also the traditional understanding of a fast which can be refraining from favorite

foods. In union with our prayers, this type of fasting is a selfless denial of something to which we are accus-

tomed and desire.

Will you join me from Monday through Wednesday, July 27-29, 2020? Choose and commit to how you

will specifically pray and fast. I truly believe that God, who hears our every prayer and sees each action, will

be pleased to receive the fragrant offering of our community’s untied prayers and fasting.

By this, we remember those who have died and all those who are sick and suffering; and provide

blessings and strength to healthcare and essential workers. May our days of prayer and fasting continue even

beyond these three days to bring healing and protection from the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, that we

may see a decrease in the number of COVID-19 deaths...for WE KNOW THEIR NAMES.
