Melchizedek, king of Salem

Who are these: Melchizedek, king of Salem, Abraham, and God Most High, the Lord Jesus ? a priest of God Most High . . . Where are we going with this ? And these "places" : Salem, Zion . . . I im-plore to be given what it takes to ex-plore this . . . How about this "melech"::"zedech"ummm. Wise king: What makes him wise? Where does his wisdom come from ? Why is he wise, as opposed to not being wise ? ummm. Watcha' think? What is wisdom ? Is wisdom something to have, or something to be ? Are having and being at odds with each other . . . Can I have without being, and can I be without having ? Who cares about wisdom ? You will respond: "the wise one" of course // And I ask you: and who is he ? First, to care about something, one must first understand that something = know that "something" ... Then, to know wisdom is to be wise . . . And to be wise is to have wisdom... Go back a little bit :: What is it? wisdom ? wisdom is to be, not to have. Being wise is wisdom... Most, or perhaps some want to find it in me, that is to say, outside of you. But because you are wise, wisdom is you, in you...In your being wise, your wisdom is in you. Wisdom calls, and never ceases to call... She, wisdom, wants to come out from you: Wisdom wants to be you...Wisdom is bliss. To be happy is to be wise. There is something, or someone higher, and better. I have liberty = I am free . . . It is in me to be wise, to be free. to be continued . . .

ROME REPORTS TV News Agency - LIVE FROM THE VATICAN

"Approach each other . . ."

""Approach each other ? " We all are the Church: Together as One: the Pope, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, Deacons, and all baptized peoples. . . The post-modern age we live in makes it extremely difficult for the Church and its doctrine to be at the forefront of where most people are nowadays.... There are many things that divide humanity: Pro-Abortion Vs. Pro-Life, Pro-War Vs. Pro-Peace, Pro-Contraception Vs. Pro-Natural Family Planning, Capitalist Vs. Communist, Christian Vs. Heathen (or pagan), Rich Vs. Poor, etc... Bioethics continues to pose profound dilemas to all... the never-ending state of war and poverty occur in front of our very eyes, and yet, what do we do? We remain silent. . . Why? Because we are afraid: "It is better to mingle and live in the "status quo" and pretend that we don't see, and that we don't hear... People die in front of our eyes every day. The new technologies of war to kill people just keep developing. For example: the so called "drones" ... And what is behind all that ? Maybe the avarice of a handfull of people, who just want power-money at the expense of so many innocent lives, including elderly, women and children... Immigration is a global phenomenon also caused for unjust living conditions... Other problems we face are: care of the environment, the protection of women (many have been killed and continued to be killed in Juarez, at the border with El Paso, Texas), genocides in different parts of the world. For example in Africa... Human trafficking, the proliferation of weapons, violence and drug cartels continue to cause wreak havoc... The never ending conflict in Israel. . . And the list can go on and on. . . I do believe strongly that our only salvation is the Good News of the Gospel (El Evangelio ) brought to us by the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. . . And yet, we wonder, how are we going to manage to implement the Doctrine of Jesus the Son of the Living God, our Lord, who is seated at the right hand of the Father ? We realize that we need a new Pentecost, in fact, we need many, many Pentecost. Perhaps we need to multiply the Pentecost experience around the world, instead of replicating all evil things. . . I presume that, if that if possible, and judging by the current state of affairs in the world, God the Father Almighty might be extremely angry. Don't you think so? And here comes the problem of evil that the book of Job, Saint Augustine, and many theologians and all regular people have tried to address and resolve. And we all are familiar with the arguments : "If God is All Powerful and All Goodness, WHY He doesn't 'stop so much evil ?? And the other is: What kind of Father will send his Only Son to the world to suffer so much? These are not my questions, these are the questions I hear in the streets, in the coffee houses, the questions that regular people like you and me sometimes make. And the other question we all hear: Where is God in all this ? And now the question has become: "Where is the Church in all this ?" Or even better : "Where are you (and me) in all this? The baptized people of God: The CHURCH: Holy, Catholic, Apostolic.

Feliz Octava de Navidad

Que nunca vallamos a olvidar quien dió origen a la celebración de la Navidad -> NA(TI)VIDAD // Fue la Natividad del Hijo de Dios… Por eso celebramos esta fiesta -conmemorativa- es decir, re-memoramos, recordamos algo que ya sucedió y que cambio al mundo; y que cambió nuestras vidas; nuestras familias. Hoy en día, en la cultura “pop” te dicen “Happy holydays” significando con ello—> Un día libre del trabajo que uno puede pasar descansando, o para el cual  la ley dicta un alto a la actividad de  los negocios en  general para conmemorar o celebrar un evento particular.” Todo eso es muy cierto. En la tienda nos dice el “clerk” “Hapy holiday.” Pero, se deja afuera el nombre o la razón por la cual celebramos esta fiesta. Sabemnos que lo hacen por mostrar sensibilidad a las personas; pues vivimos en una sociedad multicultural y pluralista.  Bueno, ciertamente que nos sentiríamos muy raros que nos dijera el “clerk” “Happy Ramadan” o “Happy Hanukkah.” Sabemos que la gente solo quiere ser sensible a las fe y creencias de cada persona… Dios está con nosotros.

Para todos mis hermanos y hermanos Cristianos: “Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo.”

Y para todos mis hermanos y hermanas no cristianos: Que la Paz reine en sus corazones y en sus hogares. Y que la paz reine en todo el mundo!

J.H.
