“It happens to many prophets that they ignore them, they make fun of them, they turn their backs on him. Many preachers of the Gospel are rejected ”. With this affirmation, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, in his Sunday address, evoked not only Jesus, who despite disbelief and lack of faith, preached the kingdom of God even nailed to the cross, but also remembered many fathers, mothers, grandparents, who teach good, honesty and getting along with siblings. He recognized all of them as prophets who persevered despite disinterest in his words.

XIV Sunday in Ordinary Time

God invites us to announce his love and mercy. He also pushes us not to remain silent in the face of lies and falsehoods, injustices and abuses, and so many personal or social contradictions. Being a prophet in our time means living in the truth and being consistent with the Gospel. Fidelity to God and to his Church implies assuming the risk of rejection, persecution, mockery, misinterpretation, even the sacrifice of one’s life. All this has already been lived and suffered by Jesus Christ, the Master, the Prophet of the Father. Living it and suffering it is an undeserved honor that God grants us, because in this way we become more and better like his Son Jesus Christ, who voluntarily offered his life on the Cross for the salvation of the world.

Eliseo Diego

A big hug of memory

This year, just before this July 2, the date on which we celebrate a new anniversary of the birth of Eliseo Diego, the extensive volume In the shelter of time that devastates me has come out on Sapienza Università Editrice. Eliseo Diego on his centenary (1920-1994), an edition by Mayerín Bello and Stefano Tedeschi. From what is inferred, it is a book that should have come out in 2020, but it is now that it becomes an editorial “event”, since it appears as an important endeavor to study the work of Eliseo Diego. It is now the occasion to appreciate nearby firms; familiar, retouched and other more recent writings that return to the poetry, narrative and essays of this great writer. Twelve texts that achieve a very appreciable harmonic sum in dispositions and judgments.

Any human being needs a town, even if only to leave it, because a town means not to be alone, to know that in the people, in the plants, in that land where you were born one day there is something of yours, that even when you are not is there, waiting for you.

“Today Christ also says to us:‘ talita cumi ’. He invites us to get up, ”said Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, in his Sunday address. The Son of God encourages the discouraged, the sad, the sorrowful, and the desperate. To them, and to us, Jesus invites us to rise up to continue the personal, family, ecclesial and social mission that God has entrusted to us when he created us, by giving them his gifts, by keeping our hearts beating.

Jesus tells us, he tells you: “With you I speak … get up.” Get up from your sins and your deaths, from your miseries and lies, from your vicious circles and redundant entelechies, from your perverse and evil fantasies, from your cowardice and negligence, from your complicit silences and your interested pretenses, from your selfishness and self-centeredness, of your laziness and excuses, of your pride and arrogance, of everything that destroys you and does not let you live in the freedom of the children of God. “I talk to you … get up.”

Virtual grandchildren and lonely grandparents

25 June, 2021 Webmáster 0
When conversing with mutual friends, former classmates found by chance, most have the same common dominator: son outside the country, grandchildren born overseas. The main cause is easy to find: the emigration of young people in search of better opportunities. The self-imposed exile in search of economic improvements has led to the division of families, the loneliness of parents and the fact of depriving them of the company and affection of their grandchildren.

Bright, bad and a little bit crazy

It is not strange that Cruella de Vil has her movie. The great evil of The 101 Dalmatians (Dodie Smith, 1956) – later popularized by Disney in 1961 – has enough appeal to suppose him and create a before and after on the big screen. Especially a before, a “how her story began.”
