I am greatly saddened about the passing of Nelson Mandela, but
at the same time I see him embracing my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, who gave
His life for freedom, justice, and love for the world. Even as I share these
words of spiritual wisdom, I cannot stop tears of sadness and sorrow because at
the moment that I heard of his passing, I was reading his recent book, making comments
about his thoughts which made an impact on my heart. He spoke with the same
voice, knowing the true meaning of oppression, discrimination, racial bias,
loneliness, chains, shackles, and a long imprisonment. Those who continue to
feel the cold iron and steel doors that shut their hearts and minds can
understand. I will be with my brother,
Nelson Mandela, as I will pray for his journey to heaven, and I ask that after his
resting and taking his spiritual position that he come into my heart and soul
and give me the courage, pride, love, heart, and soul to become a free man once
again and to bring freedom to the masses of humanity.
To Nelson Mandela I say, “I will always love you for coming
into my life when I was in solitary confinement. My wife, Irma Muniz, sent me your most famous
book -- Long Walk to Freedom. I read the book twice,
and I shall always love you for being the man, father, and spiritual human
being that you shall forever be.”
I have fasted, drinking only water for the last four days. I
shall continue to fast in dedication to the spiritual life of my beloved
freedom brother, Nelson Mandela.
Freedom. Freedom. God,
give us our freedom.
Amor,
Ramsey R. Muniz
