An estimated 40 members of an armed group in Mexico were caught on tape praying in preparation for “war.”

The footage was broadcast on TV, showing soldiers carrying rifles and wearing bulletproof vests, praying “prepare my fingers for war.”

In Reynosa, Tamaulipas, where the armed group originates, there have been clashes with federal law enforcement over the past week that resulted in an estimated 25 fatalities.

In the video, armed men can be seen asking God for protection during the confrontations. One member led the prayers:

“Praise the Lord, prepare my fingers for war, and my hands for battle because He is my milestone, my glory, my salvation and my honor. Forever and ever, Amen.” Afterward, they shout “Long Live the Gulf Cartel!” Then, they are immediately ordered to break ranks, similar to an army platoon.
