No quisiéremos que este fuese el tema que nos ocupa .Quisiéramos escribir sobre cosas hermosas, que las hay, no cabe duda, pero a veces quedamos tan impactados de ciertas realidades tan dolorosas y tristes que de noche y de día nos persiguen y es casi una catarsis el decir algo sobre ellas.
 
Para ello y en esta ocasión nos vamos a referir al comienzo del admirable Salmo 23 : del Rey David :
“El Señor es mi pastor, nada me faltará“.

"El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta, en verdes praderas me hace reposar y hacia fuentes tranquilas me conduce para reparar mis fuerzas”…
... pues bien parece que nos llega desde los Estados Unidos la parodia de este Salmo para suplirla por la fatídica heroína… “ La heroína es mi pastor, de ella siempre necesitaré. Me conduce a una dulce demencia, destruye mi alma. Me lleva al camino del infierno. Aunque camino por cañadas oscuras a la sombra de la muerte, no temo ningún mal, porque la droga está conmigo “.


No voy a hacer comentario sobre esto, tan solo una profunda tristeza me invade al escribirlo. Es tan solo una forma de alertar a los padres para que estemos sumamente pendientes y vigilantes ante estos vendedores camuflados en las cercanías de escuelas y universidades para suministrar la droga hasta a los mas pequeños.

Image result for mano que ayudaNadie que haya caído en la tentación de la droga se debe dar por vencido. Hay muchos y muy buenos Centro de Rehabilitación. Con el apoyo y comprensión de los padres, los hijos o hijas que se sientan ”enganchados” deben y pueden emprender el camino hacia la libertad y la vida. Una vida limpia y gozosa del que ha roto las cadenas de esa maldita dependencia. Mucho le ha de costar, mucha voluntad, mucho esfuerzo pero merece la pena. Es algo a si como resucitar. Es volver a la vida con la alegría de una juventud o algo más de años…. sana, con la satisfacción del ganador, con un horizonte abierto a la esperanza de una autoestima cada día mayor.


 
David, fue un hombre como nosotros, lleno de debilidades y grandes pecados pero supo acudir a Dios y con humildad se entregó a El y Dios lo amó y lo abrazó como al hijo pródigo. Nunca es tarde para empezar. Dios no tiene límites en su perdón pero a nosotros nos toca el saber diferenciar el bien del mal y no vivir confundidos en una conciencia desorientada o depresiva que no alcanza la fuerza ni el valor para emprender el vuelo hacia el camino de la verdadera libertad y, por tanto, de la felicidad tan anhelada por una vida mejor.

SAINT ELIZABETH, MOTHER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST- Feast: November 5

By -

Elizabeth appears in the Gospel of Luke, where she is described as “righteous in the eyes of God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly,”.  I imagine that she was warm, loving and obviously a safe harbour for young Mary, who was not married when she conceived.  When Mary came to visit her, Elizabeth was pregnant with St. John the Baptist and in her sixth month: “Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And how have I deserved that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of thy greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who has believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished.”

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -
Image
This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem...

'Greater Love: Richie Fernando SJ', a joy-filled Filipino missionary

 I haven't been able to post for more than a week as I was giving an eight-day directed retreat to eight sisters of the Missionaries of Charity near Manila. While I had some access to the internet it was rather slow. I had intended to make a post here on the murder of Fr Fausto Tentorio PIME , a 59-year-old Italian priest, in the Diocese of Kidapawan, Mindanao, on Monday 17 October. I will save that post for a later date. As I was looking for a video about Father Fausto I came across one about Brother Richard Michael 'Richie' Fernando SJ, a Filipino Jesuit scholastic who died while trying to prevent a troubled and disabled young man in Cambodia from throwing a grenade. That was in 1996 - on 17 October. Father Fausto gave his life exactly 15 years later. I remember the mixture of sorrow and pride I felt when I read of the death of Brother Richie, pride as a missionary in the Philippines that a young Filipino seminarian had given his life so spontaneously in order to sav...
