Rezando con la creación - el SER HUMANO-

...cuidando el don de Dios  La persona en su totalidad, todas las personas Escuchamos : Rostro, de Jorge Ochoa SJ Rostro, por jesuitas acústico Lectura de Génesis 1,26-31 Dios dijo: «Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen, según nuestra semejanza...».  Y Dios creó al hombre a su imagen; lo creó a imagen de Dios, los creó varón y mujer...  Y así sucedió.  Dios miró todo lo que había hecho, y vio que era muy bueno.  Para la Reflexión :  Mensaje del Papa Francisco para la Jornada Mundial del Migrante 2019:  "No se trata solo de migrantes" «¡Ánimo, soy yo, no tengáis miedo!» (Mt 14,27). No se trata sólo de migrantes, también se trata de nuestros miedos. «Porque, si amáis a los que os aman, ¿qué premio tendréis? ¿No hacen lo mismo también los publicanos?» (Mt 5,46). No se trata sólo de migrantes: se trata de la caridad.   «Pero un samaritano que iba de viaje llegó adonde estaba él y, al verlo, se compadeció» (Lc 10,33). No se trata sólo de migrantes: ...

There has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing poverty caused by environmental degradation...  Laudato Si, #25 From  Sr. Natalia Mejia, RJM y  Sr. Rosie Nicholson, RJM (Province of USA-Haiti) Sr. Natalia and Sr. Rosie go to the shelter each Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30 A.M. - 12:00 noon to do art projects with the children and some of their parents.  One of the mothers made a 3 string-art of people and in Spanish wrote, “God’s blessings on this shelter, home of friendship.”  The mom asked that it be hung in the front hallway where it would be seen by all who would enter the shelter.  After leaving the Center, Sr. Natalia and Sr. Rosie go to stores to buy items that the migrants need, such as, backpacks and clothing.  The migrants really appreciate the time and presence of the sisters with them.  The volunteer workers also frequently tell us that they appreciate having religious sisters, because of our pr...

There has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing poverty caused by environmental degradation...   Laudato Si, #25 From  Sr. Rosa Maria Mejia, RJM (Province of Mexico-Cuba) "I lived in San Diego, CA at Casa de Esperanza and working with the migrants for two months and 10 days.  I desire to share with you this lived experience.  When asked if I wanted to go and work for 3 months with the Sisters in the United States who minister to the migrants, at that moment I experienced joy but also some worry.  I did not feel capable to do this even though on several occasions I had said that I would like very much to work in this type of apostolate, but I knew God would help me and He did! On the first day they took me to visit the Center.  Immediately they asked for someone to speak with a family (the mother and two sons: one 14; the other one 12) who felt desperate because of the difficult situation in her country.  She...

MIGRANT MINISTRY REFLECTIONS - I

There has been a tragic rise in the number of migrants seeking to flee from the growing poverty caused by environmental degradation. They are not recognized by international conventions as refugees; they bear the loss of the lives they have left behind, without enjoying any legal protection whatsoever. Sadly, there is widespread indifference to such suffering, which is even now taking place throughout our world. Our lack of response to these tragedies involving our brothers and sisters points to the loss of that sense of responsibility for our fellow men and women upon which all civil society is founded. Laudato Si, #25 Center:   Sr. Natalia Mejia, RJM   Back left to right:    Sr. Rosie Nicholson, RJM      Sr. Norene Costa, RJM       Sr. Rosa Mejia, RJM From Sr. Norene Costa, RJM (Province of USA - Haiti) "In the darkness of the night, white vans transport migrant families to the shelter. Approximately 125 mothers, fa...

Caravan of Love

Imagen
Witness of Rosie rjm Thought you might be interested in last Saturday's 'Caravan of Love' that Nat and I participated in with Enrique Morrones (founder and leader of the Border Angels) and his Border Angels.   We were one of 43 cars in this caravan leaving from the Border Angels small office in Barrio Logan in San Diego to head to five different sites in Tijuana where the migrants are located.   Cars were packed with various donated items needed by the migrants.   A large group with some health professionals from Colorado went to the new shelter 7 miles from the Otay border crossing, which is the replacement shelter after they left the Tijuana Sports Arena.   Another group went to the Sports Arena to bring food and clothing to the few remaining migrants.   The rest of us went to the Border Angels shelter on the beach next to the border wall in Tijuana Playas area.   There Nat and I met some of the Honduran migrants who helped unload and repack items going t...

T his is a summary of a very inspiring week, April 8 - 14, 2018 in San Antonio and McAllen, Texas participating in Cruzando Fronteras - Crossing Frontiers - Connecting Humanity.  The Popular Education Network of the RSCJ's (Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) in collaboration with ARISE (A Resource in Serving Equality) and MACC (Mexican American Catholic College) provided us with several speakers and experiences to deepen our knowledge of the current realities of migration, immigration and human trafficking across country borders throughout our world as well as within US state borders.  Our very full days began at 8:30 AM (at least for those of us who don't eat breakfast) and continued to about 8:30 PM when we arrived back at our base locations.   W e began in San Antonio at MACC. The 'ice breaker' where we met one another in a circle and had to introduce our new acquaintance to the group wa...
