Fortalezca el espíritu de Virginia
En virtud de la autoridad conferida por la Constitución de Virginia al Gobernador de la Commonwealth of Virginia, por la presente se reconoce oficialmente:
Día de Oración de Virginia
POR CUANTO, el Primer Congreso Continental declaró por primera vez un Día Nacional de Oración en 1775 y el Congreso de los Estados Unidos estableció una ley pública en 1952, reservando un día cada año, en consonancia con nuestra herencia, para que nuestra nación se reúna y ore; y
WHEREAS, throughout our nation’s history, Americans of many religions and belief systems have turned to prayer for strength, hope, and guidance; and
WHEREAS, in 1988, the United States Congress and President Reagan amended the 1952 public law to affirm that it is essential for the nation to pray and designate the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer as will be observed by people throughout the Commonwealth and our nation; and
WHEREAS, the theme for the 2025 National Day of Prayer is “Pour Out to the God of Hope and Be Filled” based on the verse in Roman 15:13 that is a prayer and a promise, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit;” and
CONSIDERANDO QUE, a los líderes y ciudadanos de nuestro Estado Libre Asociado y nuestra nación se les concede el privilegio de orar, dar gracias y renovar nuestra confianza en Dios; y
WHEREAS, Virginians are encouraged to exercise the freedoms to gather and pray to unify hearts, communities, our Commonwealth, and our nation;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Glenn Youngkin, do hereby recognize May 1, 2025, as VIRGINIA DAY OF PRAYER in our COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, and I call this observance to the attention of all of our citizens.
