And
I
am
really
proud
that
I
was
applauded
to
be.
He
refers
to
me
as
his
big
brother
and
I.
Take
that
honor
it
very
seriously
and
I
try
to
instill
that
and
all
the
other
ones
on
the
job
that
are
coming
up
after
us,
but
let's
get
the
show
on
the
road,
because
I
know
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
historic
moment.
At
this
time,
I
like
to
introduce
to
the
podium
Reverend

E
Sovereign

earth
through
all
things
good
and
righteous.
In
truth,
you
are
full
of
compassion
and
long-suffering
for
your
children
and
our
concern
for
peace
amidst
a
growing
attitude
of
violence
and
discrimination
compels
us
to
look

in
faith
in
hope.
E
The
prophet
Daniel
declared

seasons

kings
and
establish
them.
You
give
wisdom
to
the
wise

God.
You
gave
brother
William,

grouse,
the
knowledge
and
the
discernment
to
serve
and
protect
the
public,
and
lord
I
want
to
thank
you.
In
1992
gangs,
came
in
to
Morning
Star
Baptist
Church
and
tried
to
kill
a
man
during
a
funeral
and
in
2018.
We
are
here
to
confirm
the
first
black
police
commissioner

Boston's.
F
E
What
a
mighty
God

serve
Lord

a
nation,
we
pray
for
peace
and
the
end
of
gun
violence.
We
pray
for
a
closer
bond
between
the
community
and
the
police.
We
pray
for
justice
for
the
people
from
our
spiritual
and
political
leaders,
keep
our
men
and
women
in
blue
safe,
but
also
keep
those
safe
whose
skin
is
black
and
brown
and
white.
E
G
Thank
You
superintendent,
Halstead
and
thank
you
for
emceeing
today,
I
want
to
thank
you.
Bishop
borders
and
the
entire
congregation
here
at
morning.
Stop
and
for
all
of
you
that
are
here.
There's
gonna
be
a
second
collection
in
a
little
while
so
take
T,
we
got
to
pay
for
the
church
right,
Bishop,
I,.
G
Want
to
thank
everyone
who's
here
today
to
mark
this
historic
occasion.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
elected
officials,
the
constitutional
officers,
the
Boston
City
Council
members
of
the
state
legislature,
all
of
our
County
officers
that
are
here
today.
Thank
you.
You,
too
many
to
name
I'd,
be
here
all
day,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
with
us
today,
all
right,
it's
the
command
staff
in
the
Boston
Police
Department,
current
and
retirees.
Thank
you
to
all
the
retirees
that
are
sitting
out
here
at
the
boss,
Police
Department.
G
G
G
G
G
But
as
we
look
around
the
church,
we
know
you
didn't
have
to
do
that
alone.
With
this
congregation,
the
pride
I
see
in
so
many
faces
today
is
key
to
why
we
are
here
today.
I
know
that
Boston's
first
African
American,
please
Commission.
It
would
be
historic,
but
this
community,
in
its
response,
showed
me
it's
more
than
historic.
I
had
a
conversation.
Last
week,
I
was
at
an
event
with
the
governor
and
a
woman
came
out
to
me.
She
african-american
and
she
said
to
me.
G
She
thanked
me
for
for
appointing
Willie
as
the
new
commissioner
and
she
the
way
she
said
it
to
me.
Wasn't
the
fact
that
he
was
the
first
African
American.
It
was
so
much
more
than
that
that
it
came
from
her
hot
nurse.
All
it
was
personal
and
I
was
so
honored
to
move
by
that
and
I
realized
after
that
moment.
What
this
appointment
means
today,
Willie
cross,
doesn't
just
reflect
this
community.
It's
in
his
identity.
He
reflects
his
community
is
an
ability
and
his
values.
That's.
G
G
We're
going
to
continue
to
support
this
work
with
our
resources
and
with
our
commitment
to
heal,
trauma
and
stop
the
cycle
of
suffering
and
violence
and
survive
our
young
people
with
education
and
programs
in
the
jobs
that
they
need
to
thrive
in
Boston.
We
are
about
lifting
people
up,
not
locking
people
up
and
that's
important
for
us.
G
We
will
continue
to
resist
any
pressure
from
Washington
to
move
backwards,
to
a
climate
of
fear
or
discrimination.
We're
going
to
continue
to
treat
our
immigrant
neighbors
as
valued
members
of
our
community,
we're
going
to
continue
to
treat
all
of
our
young
men
and
young
women
as
our
most
precious
resources.
G
If
you
know
willie
grass,
you
know
compassion
and
connection
are
his
bread
and
butter.
I
could
share
any
number
of
stories
with
you
today.
I
know.
Most
of
you
could
as
well,
but
I
will
mention
one
we've
seen
him
defuse
tension
in
their
streets.
We
saw
him
doing
a
journey
on
the
Boston
Common
this
year.
G
It
was
just
one
week
after
the
KKK
invaded
the
streets
of
Charlottesville
Virginia.
We
weren't
sure
what
to
expect,
but
we
saw
something
special
thousand
tens
of
thousands
of
people
of
all
ages
marched
from
Roxbury.
The
Boston
Common
in
millions
of
viewers
around
the
world
saw
Boston,
reject,
reject
hate
and
embrace
love.
G
Willie
was
one
of
the
faces
of
Boston
that
day
he
lifted
the
Marches
spirit
as
he
kept
them
safe.
He
stood
in
the
middle
of
confrontations
in
the
tension,
seemed
to
melt
away,
sometimes
with
a
smile,
and
sometimes
with
that
look.
You
know
that
look
he
may
be
lovable,
he
may
be
level,
but
his
employee
doesn't
play
in
all
seriousness.
This
conflict
was
troubling
our
nation
and
still
is
we
need
leaders
who
model
our
highest
values
so
Willie
Gross
is
the
public
safety
leader
for
our
times.
G
He
shows
that
our
strength
is
rooted
in
love,
not
fear,
and
he
shows
us
that
safety
is
rooted
in
respects
for
every
member
of
the
community.
We
celebrate
this
historic
occasion,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
Willie
cross
is
not
only
Boston's
42nd
Police
Commissioner
he's
not
only
Boston's.
First
black
police,
commissioner,
he's
America's
next
great
police.
Commissioner.
G
If
you'd
raise
your
right
hand
and
repeat
after
me,
hi
hi,
William
gross,
do
solemnly
swear,
do
solemnly
swear
that
I
will
faithfully
and
impartially
that
I
will
faithfully
and
impartially
perform.
All
duties
perform
all
duties
incumbent
on
me
incumbent
on
me
as
police,
commissioner
of
the
City
of
Boston,
as
police
commissioner
of
the
city
of
Boston.
According
to
the
best
of
my
abilities,
according
to
the
best
of
my
abilities
in
understanding
and
understanding
agreeably
to
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States
of
America
agreeably
to
the.
H
H
Folks,
I
am
so
humbled
humbled
to
stand
here
before
you
today,
and
those
that
know
me
know
that
I
always
start
off
this
way
to
thank
the
seniors
in
this
room
of
all
colors,
all
ethnicities,
that,
through
your
struggles
and
strife
for
justice
and
equality
for
everybody
in
this
city,
you
pave
the
way
so
I
could
be
here
in
this
capacity.
So
thank
you.
H
My
next
thank
you.
It's
to
a
young
man,
I
can
call
him
a
young
man
because
he's
younger
than
me
then
I
met
in
Dorchester
way
back
in
the
day,
a
child
of
Dorchester
also
raised
by
the
community,
and
you
want
to
talk
about
that
word
transparency
that
you
often
hear
expressed
by
police
officials.
This
is
a
transparent
man.
He
had
trials
and
tribulations,
but
he
shared
them.
He
overcame
them
to
work
as
a
state
representative
and
then
come
back
home
to
be
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston,
Martin
J,.
F
H
Tell
you
what
talking
about
another
child
of
the
community?
That's
what
resonates
in
this
city
today
that
our
leaders
and
everyone
you
see
here
before
you.
We
really
do
care
about
the
community
mayor.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
the
confidence
in
me
to
lead
this
police
department
and
our
model
of
community
policing.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
because
mom,
it
all
came
from
you
and
God.
Thank
you.
H
I've
followed
his
career
and
we
had
a
chance
to
work
together
for
the
last
four
and
a
half
years
right,
bringing
the
whole
city
together.
We
never
went
home,
we
talked
late
at
night
early
in
the
morning.
Okay,
you
early
in
the
morning
I
mean,
and
you
know
often
times
we
knew
that
people
were
looking
at
us,
Southie
Dorchester
forced
busing
in
the
days
of
your
how
these
soon
gonna
get
together.
H
H
But
not
only
did
they
have
a
great
sense
of
humor
but
a
great
sense
of
leadership.
Great
pride
we
have
in
this
city
we've
repelled
two
terrorist
attacks,
we've
gone
on
to
become
stronger
and
it's
because
of
forward-thinking
leaders
and
strong
community
and
sense
of
community.
So
I.
Thank
you
for
having
the
confidence
in
me
to
help
guide
me
to
the
next
level
and
I
will
have
you
on
speed
dial,
just
slam.
H
We
were
guided
as
well
again,
first
by
God
and
by
family,
but
we
had
forward-thinking
leadership
in
the
police
department.
There
were
administrators
before
us
commissioners
before
us,
but
this
time
I'd
like
to
thank
the
former
commissioners
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
for
all
of
you
and
with
you
pretty
cool
to
have
Evans
and
Evans
as
police
commissioners
right
I
want
to
see
them
at
Thanksgiving,
going
at
it,
but
again
we're
talking
about
the
history
of
the
Boston,
Police
Department
and
anything
negative.
We
learned
from
it.
H
Those
are
teachable
moments,
but
we
had
men
and
women
that
were
visionaries
to
move
us
to
the
next
step
so
that
one
day
it
doesn't
matter
where
you're
at
from
the
city.
We
can
call
you
police,
commissioner,
it's
because
of
forward-thinking
leaders,
Commissioner
Evans,
Commissioner,
Evans,
Commissioner,
o
Toole
and
Commissioner
Davis,
and
brought
me
aboard
the
command
staff.
Ten
years
ago.
H
I
remember
when
he
brought
me
up
to
headquarters
I'm
like
what
am
I
here
for
and
we
had
a
great
discussion
and
he
says:
hey
I
want
you
to
be
who
you
are,
and
we
know
you're
a
person
of
the
community
and
you.
Let
me
be
me,
sir
I
appreciate
that
you
brought
me
on
the
command
staff
and
Here
I
am
ten
years
later,
because
of
all
of
you
and
all
of
you.
Thank
you.
H
Boston's
unique,
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
is
unique.
Our
great
elected
official
state
local
federal
this
country
began
here
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
We
are
the
shining
examples
and
these
leaders
one
thing
you
have.
Thank
you
my
brother.
One
thing
we
have
is
our
elected
officials
really
do
care
about
the
constituency
as
if
they
are
family.
I
applaud
you
all
seated
here
before
us.
Thank
you.
H
Look
at
our
City
Council
how
diversified
how
qualified
they
know
that
Boston
again
is
a
leader
and
your
representation
for
the
entire
city
is
unwavering
and
we
appreciate
you
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
the
elected
officials
as
we
go
forward
together.
Sometimes
it's
not
always
a
love
fest,
but
it's
always
a
respect
fest.
So
thank
you.
H
H
H
She
raised
us.
We
found
ourself
in
this
city.
They
were
before
me,
my
mother,
my
sister
pinkie
cuz,
he
hates
the
name
wall
teen
and
my
sister
divita
found
ourselves
on
Edgemont
Street
in
1975
during
the
racially
tumultuous
times
of
forced
busing.
But
here
I
am
the
country
mouse.
That
became
a
city
mouse,
yes,
I
know
you
hear
that
laughing.
That's
because
I
used
to
say
things
like
hot
dog
and
all
this
stuff,
but.
H
People
helped
my
mother
and
I'm
gratefully
appreciative
of
the
community
from
Vietnam
vets.
It's
a
nosy,
miss
Parker
to
my
football
coaches,
Harry
and
Dennis
Wilson
Raiders
for
life
and
just
the
people
from
the
community
that,
throughout
my
years
from
being
12
years
old
to
18,
were
right
there
every
step
in
a
way
of
the
way,
a
tough
community
for
the
community
of
love
and
compassion
and
I'd
like
to
thank
my
mother
Deanna
for
being
there
not
only
for
me,
but
for
everybody
in
our
neighborhood
and
she
being
a
child
of
God.
H
Look
around
the
room,
we
all
have
family
here,
but
it
begins
with
women,
those
that
give
birth
in
life
to
the
earth.
It's
because
of
you
mom
that
your
children
have
children,
and
you
have
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren
at
this
time,
I
like
all
of
them,
to
stand
up
and
be
recognized
and
recognized
your
grandmother
and
great-grandmother.
H
H
It
is
made
up
of
all
of
us.
Often
we
hear
the
word
community
policing,
it's
just
thrown
out.
What
does
it
mean?
Sometimes
it
becomes
jaded
but
I'm
telling
you
here
in
Boston
and
here
in
the
Commonwealth:
here's
what
it
means
to
work
collaboratively:
Police,
Department,
the
community,
the
private
sector,
the
businessman
all
right
institutions
of
higher
learning
are
great
clergy
and
everybody
in
the
village.
That's
what
our
model
means
and
that's
what
we
will
keep
going
together.
H
H
Yes,
I
am
a
product
of
the
community
that
helped
me
become
a
Boston
police
cadet
in
1983,
lessons
learned,
I,
remember,
I
went
in
I'm
like
oh
man,
I'm
gonna
who's
gonna
be
in
for
it,
but
I
want
to
do
what
I
want
to
do.
If
you
want
change,
be
the
change
and
because
of
this
lady
I
have
a
strong
sense
of
his
excuse,
me
history
and
a
foundation
where
it
says
that
all
people
helped
create
this
country.
Thank
you
again.
My
brother
he's
my
backup.
All
people
helped
create
this
nation.
H
H
But
we
said
a
lot
about
Boston
Boston,
Boston
I
am
a
part
of
a
law
enforcement,
family,
state,
local
and
federal.
My
brothers
and
sisters
are
here
today:
I
celebrate
them
when
I
was
a
new
chief,
they
welcomed
me
with
open
arms.
We
have
members
of
the
Massachusetts
major
City
Chiefs,
my
brothers
and
I.
Want
you
all
to
know.
The
success
that
we
have
here
in
Boston
is
shared
with
my
brothers
and
sisters.
The
success
that
they
have
in
their
cities
and
towns
is
also
shared
here
with
Boston.
H
H
All
right
now,
it's
bragging
rights,
9,
the
Boston
Police
Department,
is
the
first
Police
Department
in
our
great
nation,
starting
in
1630,
and
became
fully
incorporated
in
1854.
We
are
proud.
We
are
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
are
the
first
in
the
nation
and
we
understand
our
duties
and
responsibilities
not
only
to
the
city
but
to
the
Commonwealth.
It's
this
time.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
celebrate
the
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
from
our
command
staff
to
the
civilians.
H
That's
my
class
of
1485.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
You
know,
folks,
it's
a
tough
job.
It's
a
tough
job.
It's
a
tough
job.
We
understand
sometimes
there's
a
lot
of
anti-police
sentiment
and
we
know
why
in
Boston
we
don't
deny
things,
we
acknowledge
them
and
we
learn
from
them.
So
we
don't
emulate
things
that
are
happening
outside
of
the
Commonwealth.
With
that
being
said,
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
thank
the
families
of
Boston
police
officers
and
all
law
enforcement
officers.
When
we're
grumpy
and
tired.
F
H
Sometimes
these
folks
go
on
notice.
Our
subs
are
civilians,
our
backbone
for
the
BPD
they're
our
backbone.
Who
takes
the
radio
calls
when
they
hear
about
senseless
death?
There's
someone
that
you
call
this
on
that
phone,
that's
just
as
affected
as
we
are.
So
thank
thank
thank
you
to
our
civilians
that
have
our
back
on
this
police
department.
Thank
you.
H
There
are
some
special
ladies,
that
work
with
us
on
the
fourth
floor:
Laura
dickerson,
Keisha
gales,
Kathy,
Kearney,
Dana,
McGuire,
I,
don't
know
where
choices
I,
hope
she's
here,
somewhere
hi
Jeff.
They
all
take
care
of
us
and
trust
me.
We're
grumpy,
sometimes
we're
happy,
but
they
take
care
of
us
now.
I
want
to
talk
about
again
law
enforcement,
family
and
thank
you
Marilyn
for
putting
up
with
me
I'm
such
a
treasure.
H
They've
done
their
job,
they
deserves
to
go
home
safely
after
each
tour
of
duty,
but
unfortunately
it's
a
battle
between
good
and
evil
and
although
the
bad
think
they
have
won
when
they
have
taken
our
brothers
and
sisters
too
early,
they
will
never
take
their
spirit.
They
will
never
take
the
spirit
of
officer
Tarantino.
H
H
So
in
Boston,
crime
is
down.
Arrest
rates
are
down,
as
the
mayor
alluded
to
earlier,
we're
not
about
putting
on
cuffs
we're
about
building
and
uplifting
and
strengthening
families,
but
that's
a
credit
to
all
of
our
collaborative
work
right.
When
we
help
families
we
do
referrals
and
I
can
honestly
say
mayor.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
working
hard
to
ensure
that
every
family
has
the
same
opportunities.
H
We
want
every
child
in
every
part
of
this
city
to
feel
welcome
to
put
on
the
uniform
whether
it's
Boston
Police
Suffolk,
County,
Sheriff's,
State,
Police
or
any
Police
Department
across
the
Commonwealth.
We
want
you
to
feel
welcome.
We
have
a
vision
for
you
and
that
we
know
that
you
are
our
future
leaders
and
that
this
Police
Department,
as
well
as
the
police
departments
across
the
Commonwealth,
are
all
about
diversity
and
inclusion.
H
Again,
we
have
work
to
do,
but
one
day
everybody
will
feel
confident,
but
until
then
we
won't
waver
or
we
won't
grow
tired
of
educating
people
about
how
we
do
things.
You
know
we're
in
21st
century
policing,
and
what
does
that
mean?
All
that
means
is
we've
learned
from
lessons
pass
and
we've
come
forward
with
open
arms
of
empathy,
sympathy,
care
and
respect
as
I.
Take
this
role.
This
commute
a
Police
Commissioner
I
have
a
vision
as
well
and
have
four
things
written
down.
Four
goals
and
they're
very
important
to
me.
H
Number
one
is
to
enhance
community
policing
efforts.
We've
already
shown
it
folks
we're
going
to
work
together
and
we're
going
to
strengthen
our
models
and
any
strategies
that
we
have
we're.
Gonna
strengthen,
strengthen,
strengthen
you've
already
heard
me
define
community
policing.
So
that
means
all
of
this.
So
let's
have
some
patience
to
let's
be
able
to
accept
constructive
criticism.
H
Let's
celebrate
you
know.
When
we
talk
about
positive
stats,
it's
not
just
BPD,
it's
the
communities
that
helped
us.
It's
everybody
in
the
city,
that's
a
celebration!
So
when
we
have
bad
stats
or
negative,
all
that
means
is.
We
have
a
little
more
work
to
do,
but
we've
already
laid
the
foundation
and
we'll
go
forward
together,
number
to
articulate
a
plan
for
diversity
that
includes
all
of
Boston
everybody.
F
H
To
be
transparent,
it
should
not
be
a
mystery
about
how
we
serve
you
and
that's
right.
Folks,
we
serve
you,
it's
not
a
mystery,
it
shouldn't
be
a
mystery,
so
we
will
share
our
programs
and
our
initiatives
because
we
know,
under
the
spirit
of
community
policing,
you're
gonna
be
right
there
with
us.
Anyway,
it's
you're
a
model,
2
number
3
kind
of
already
hit
it.
Maintain
transparency
again
should
not
be
a
mystery
and
we
expect
your
input
and
we
welcome
it.
H
This
isn't
the
warrior
class
anymore.
We
wear
many
different
hats.
As
law
enforcement,
mothers,
fathers,
doctors,
lawyers,
plumbers.
Yes,
we
get
called
the
floods
and
everything
we
wear
many
different
hats,
and
we
welcome
that
and
I
vow
that
the
Boston
Police
Department
will
move
forward
men
and
women.
You
see
here
with
us,
through
training,
through
education
and
from
listening
to
the
community
number
four
dear
to
my
heart,
as
I
just
alluded
to
earlier,
about
our
fallen
officers.
Folks,
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
right
here
and
right
now:
first
responders
are
not
robots,
Police,
Fire
EMS!
H
H
Want
us
to
be
able
to
say
hi
to
each
other
as
we
walk
down
the
street
have
discussions
that
really
really
touches
our
heart.
When
someone
comes
up
and
like
hey
I,
know
a
lots
going
on,
but
thank
you.
You
did
a
good
job,
so
I
love
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
law
enforcement.
I
announced
it
publicly.
I'm,
not
ashamed
of
it.
I
will
never
hide
from
it,
but
I'm
telling
you
under
our
administration
as
all
of
these
commissioners.
H
H
And
again,
a
work
hand-in-hand
with
the
command
staff.
Why
do
I
point
them
out?
Because
if
your
vision,
it's
not
accepted
from
the
top,
it
will
never
reach
the
workers
in
the
fields,
the
ones
we
love
that
are
answering
the
radio
calls
it
has
to
start
from
the
top
on
down
all
right.
We
are
going
to
be
more
inclusive,
we're
gonna,
diversify
and
that's
gonna,
be
with
your
help.
I
just
asked
one
thing:
in
the
diversity
of
police
departments.
H
Don't
look
outside
of
the
Commonwealth
about
all
the
negativity
or
the
negative
things
that
have
happened
in
the
past,
because
those
are
teachable
moments
again.
Let's
let
our
young
men
and
women
of
all
communities
of
Boston
that
if
they
want
to
let
them
be
the
change
they
need
both
welcome
mats
from
the
police
department
and
the
community
for
us
to
move
forward.
H
But
again
it
is
real
again
look
how
far
we've
become
at
what
we
become
look,
how
far
we've
come
rather
and
what
we
have
become
more
understanding
of
every
culture,
more
understanding
about
what's
going
on
in
life
and
how
we
need
to
move
forward,
and
it's
this
point
that
we
must
realize
that
everybody
has
a
mission
statement.
What
we're
doing
now,
what
we're
about.
But
what
I'm
confident
about
the
city
of
Boston
through
its
leadership,
is
that
we
have
a
vision.
H
We
know
where
we
want
to
be,
and
the
youth
that
are
in
here
today
and
I
know
you're.
Here,
I
love,
the
youth
of
the
community,
go
on
side,
sound
off
I,
see
teen,
empowerment,
I
know
the
dorcester
wise.
Here
you
are
not
alone
from
the
seniors
that
have
paved
the
way
for
us
to
the
people
here
before
you.
Our
vision
includes
you
you're
the
Future
Leaders.
This
is
why
we
do
what
we
do.
So.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
Again,
folks,
look
how
far
we've
become
and
notice
I
say
we
we,
the
people
of
the
city
of
Boston.
We,
the
people
of
the
Commonwealth
I
love
bragging
about
the
Commonwealth,
all
right
from
everybody
in
this
community,
even
the
professional
sports
teams
that
makes
the
rest
of
the
nation
hate
us
and
that
right,
mr.
Henry
and
mrs.
honey
and
the
Red
Sox,
the
Celtics,
the
Bruins,
the.
H
I'm
gonna
tell
you
right
now
they
do
give
back
to
the
community.
This
is
what
makes
the
Commonwealth
strong
all
of
us
here
together.
I
love,
looking
out
and
seeing
all
the
smiling
faces,
I
love
that
this
is
growing
out
across
the
nation.
I
hope
that
we
can
all
learn
from
each
other.
I
hope
that
we
can
all
move
forward
together.
H
F
C
C
I
Let
us
pray
Lord,
you
are
our
Shepherd.
You
lead
us
on
the
right
paths,
for
your
name's
sake.
As
we
begin
a
new
chapter
in
the
history
of
the
Boston
Police
Department.
We
give
thanks
to
all
who
have
built
this
department
into
a
group
that
is
dedicated
to
the
service
and
protection
of
your
people.
Jesus.
Our
Shepherd
has
called
us
all
to
help
build
his
kingdom,
that
is
the
kingdom
of
justice
and
love
and
peace.
