San Juan, Oldest Capital City in America

Under the scorching Caribbean sun, TFP members with Puerto Rican Catholics held a public rosary rally on the steps of El Capitolio, the capitol building in the city of San Juan. The town was founded in 1521, making it the oldest capital in America. Overlooking the coruscating Atlantic Ocean, the capitol building stands tall and unflinching.

“¡Recemos! ¡Confiemos! ¡Volvamos a Dios!” read one banner in Spanish, encouraging Puerto Ricans to pray, confide, and return to God.

Be Vigilant and Be Strong

Not far from the capitol, at the northwestern point of the islet of San Juan is the magnificent fortress, Castillo San Felipe del Morro, named in honor of the Spanish king, Phillip II. The mighty citadel was designed to protect and defend the entrance of San Juan Bay and the city from seafaring enemies.

Castillo San Felipe del Morro is the perfect symbol of vigilance and strength.

In the face of everything affecting our country, Americans need to be vigilant against false solutions amid the chaos. They should take strength from the Holy Rosary and not be afraid to take a public stand for America’s return to God.

While the task may seem daunting and overwhelming, “with God, all things are possible.” (Matt 19:26)o
