Encontrando a esperanza y luz en la oscuridad

Esta columna es la comunicación del Obispo con los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia va más allá de la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

“La noche viene cuando nadie puede trabajar”, escuchamos en la lectura del Evangelio el domingo pasado (Jn 9:4).

Jesús les dice a sus discípulos: hagan las obras de Dios mientras es de día, porque “la noche viene cuando nadie puede trabajar”.

Nadie puede trabajar y, debo agregar, nada funciona. Y sugeriría demás que la noche ya ha llegado.

Hemos celebrado el domingo al que llamamos “Domingo de la alegría” y nos damos cuenta de que tenemos que alegrarnos en la verdad. Dios nos da la gracia de alegrarnos en la verdad. Y la verdad es que la noche ha llegado y nada y nadie funciona, ¡pero la espléndida Luz de la Resurrección hará que la noche sea tan brillante como el día!

La historia del ciego de nacimiento, al que vemos en la lectura del Evangelio, es en muchas formas una alegoría de nuestra propia cultura y de nuestra propia sociedad. Es una cultura y una sociedad de muerte. Una cultura en la que ha descendido la noche y en la que nada funciona.

Dr. Carolyn Woo to present St. Thérèse Lecture

Dr. Carolyn Woo

MADISON — Inspired by Pope Francis’ emphasis on charity and social justice, the Diocese of Madison’s Office of Evangelization and Catechesis has initiated several activities.

One is the sponsorship of two courses on Catholic Social Doctrine taught by Dr. Constance Nielsen throughout the year in different locations.

Another is a special event welcoming Dr. Carolyn Woo of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) to be the guest lecturer at this spring’s St. Thérèse Lecture.

Dr. Woo will address the topic “The One-Handed Gospel: You Did It for Me” (taken from the words of Blessed Mother Teresa)” on Friday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bishop O’Connor Center, 702 S. High Point Rd.

Dr. Woo assumed the position of CEO and president of CRS in January of 2012. CRS was founded in 1943 by the Catholic bishops of the United States to serve World War II survivors in Europe. Since then, it has expanded in size to reach more than 100 million people in nearly 100 countries on five continents.

Representing CRS, Dr. Woo was featured in Foreign Policy (May/June, 2013) as one of the 500 most powerful people on the planet and one of only 33 in the category of “a force for good.”

The John Paul II difference: why the Revolution of 1989 was not a re-run of 1789

The Catholic Difference column by George WeigelTwenty-five years ago, on January 27, 1989, a joint statement from the communist government of Poland, the Solidarity trade union, and the Catholic Church announced a national “Roundtable” to discuss the country’s future, including major structural issues of political and economic reform.

The Roundtable began the following month; basic agreements were reached in April; partially-free elections, swept by Solidarity candidates, were held in June; and in September a Solidarity leader, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, became Poland’s first non-communist prime minister since World War II.

Brain injuries represent ‘silent epidemic’ in U.S.

To the editor:

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year. Of those individuals, 52,000 die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 1.4 million are treated and released from an emergency department.

Despite the staggering numbers, brain injury is called the “silent epidemic” because public recognition and understanding remains extremely low. Consequently, the individuals who have sustained a brain injury are oftentimes misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and under-funded.

Crucial cases: Pray for justices to support freedom of conscience

Editor's View by Mary C. Uhler

This week the United State Supreme Court will be taking up some crucial cases involving freedom of conscience of employers in our country.

As Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, points out in his guest column in this week’s Catholic Herald, the court’s justices will be considering whether employers must provide health insurance for drugs and services they find morally objectionable under the Affordable Care Act.

Antiques of years past are blessings of today

It’s hard for me to believe it now, but in my younger years I cared nothing about antiques. I foolishly figured that anyone who furnished a home with them simply couldn’t afford new stuff.

Now, although I still don’t have them in my home, I find myself fascinated by anything with a “history.”

I can’t wait each week to watch public television’s Antiques Roadshow. I guess you could say I didn’t care for antiques until I became one.
