The allegation that the Haitian resettlement in Springfield, Ohio, is consuming pets and wild animals is reminiscent of historical slanderous ploy blood libel, which was propagated by Nazis against the Jews. By using this defamatory fearmongering tactic, they effectively incite fear and tap into a long-standing ressentiment on the extreme right. It is very necessary to challenge such damaging depictions and understand that Haitian immigrants do not frequently stem from the poorest of the segments of society: many are in the middle class status and have the relevant means to migrate (regularly aided with grocery support from the government). Although these immigrants put up a lot of effort to better their lives, one has to be sober about the fact that the deep poverty faced by the poorest natives of Haiti can push them into desperate actions such as heartbreaking cooking "mud cookies" as a source of food and effort to survive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_cookie

I believe in Jesus Christus King of Heaven, the son of God, and the beautiful godly Black Queen Virgin Mary, His Mother. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin As Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: "Rejoice, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with you!" There are none that can withstand your power. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity. Teach us to treat the affairs of the world with a real sense of Christian responsibility and a joyful hope of the coming of God's kingdom, and of a "new heaven and a new earth". You who were gathered in prayer with the apostles in the Cenacle, awaiting the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost, implore his renewed outpouring on all the faithful, men and women alike, so that they might more fully respond to their vocation and mission.
