Padre announced there was a Madre - Liza (Guerra) O’Reilly
Some 350 peoples from 80 different Indigenous nations engaged in multilateral discussions from the 7 regions of the world. Coming from Tanzania, the Maasai , from Vietnam, the Hmong, from Belize, the Maya, from the Arctic Circumpolar region, the Inuit, from the far east of Russia, the Chukotka, from the South Pacific, the Samoa, and from the Southwest of North America, the Tewa. From these very distinctive and reflectively diverse regions of the planet, and adorned with the finest artesian clothing and regalia, the Indigenous peoples of the world continued into day 4 of their deliberations to address our utmost immediate needs and determine long-term architectural plans caused by climate change and its impact on life.
Today the Indigenous people’s summit welcomed a priest who had arrived without pan, but came with a new word. This not-so-ordinary catholic and gifted priest whose power broke loose the tongue of France’s President Sarkozy, by inspiring Sarkozy to repeat the priestly message of “love” with his fellow brethren at the G-20, was none other than the United Nations General Assembly President, Miguel D’Escoto. Padre D’Escoto, who had stimulated an elite tongue to speak of humanity, announced that, at the behest of President Evo Morales of Bolivia, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution recognizing April 22, from now into perpetuity, as “International Mother Earth Day.”

Who would have thought that a simple priest could help resurrect the consciousness of reasonable men? Here, at the summit word spread about the bold move the General Assembly made recognizing the Indigenous feminine energy, spirit, and power where the roots of the UN’s own organic rules of consensus had sprung. The Assembly’s unanimous adoption of a resolution designating April 22 each year as “International Mother Earth Day” was made to advance the “protection of global climate for present and future generations of mankind.”
Following the Padre was David Choquehuanca Céspedes, Bolivian minister of foreign affairs, speaking on behalf of President Morales, whom had expressed his profound regret he was unable to attend the summit. Minister Choquehuna Cespedes, a powerful voice from the snow-capped peaks of the Andean Mountain region, called on us to help slow the melting of the white ponchos covering the Andean Mountain peaks. “We live on the skirt of Mother Earth” Minister Choquehuna proclaimed. So, if we are all on the skirt of mother earth, then we must all be brothers and sisters. We are all, plants, animals, humans, water, air, related. Hmmm… let’s see what happens to Sarkozy’s tongue before Copenhagen in December.
