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.

Annual Catholic Appeal

Dear Friends in Christ,

What better place to look for the theme of this year’s diocesan appeal than to the witness of our new Holy Father, Pope Francis? His powerful example of charity will be our focus as we approach our 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal and its theme: “Beacon of Faith; Fire of Charity.”

Brothers and sisters, we are each chosen to be a Beacon of Faith to our friends, family, co-workers — a beacon radiating the light of Christ to all with whom we come into contact. Pope Francis has made clear that as the world grows darker, we must continue to strengthen our own faith; allow ourselves to be evangelized anew; to become part of the New Evangelization; and work together as one with the mission of Christ and His Church.

Forgiving those who have hurt us

Cutting Edge by Sr. Margie Lavonis

There are some common prayers that I pray by heart, such as the “Hail Mary,” the “Lord’s Prayer,” and the “Glory Be.”

They come to my mind automatically because I have prayed them so many times and I have them memorized. This is probably true for most Catholics.

Power of Attorney for Health Care: what it means

Q My brother and I are hoping you can shed some light on this.

Our 89-year-old mother lives in an assisted living facility in Dane County. Although it is expensive, I think she is getting good care and this is the best option for her.

She has been there for the last six months and has made some friends, but mostly it is the care we were looking for, as there are no options for her to live with either of my two brothers or me and she can not live independently.

The issue is my older brother, who is her Power of Attorney for Health Care. He frequently asks the staff to do things for mom that she can do on her own. He feels she is paying for care and that means the staff should do everything for her. I think mom needs to continue to do things for herself that she can do — that this will give her some purpose. But, as the Power of Attorney, does he “hold the power” over everything related to mom’s care? (from a son in Portage)

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.
