Not long ago I was asked to lead a weekend retreat to a small group of committed young people of St. Petersburg. And they are really committed, because they belong to a group called "Militia Dei." Inform, counsel, advise, fight against sects, finally, who spend much time talking about God and helping others to distinguish what is good from what you just complicates life or damaged. Indeed, I came very well, but these people must be supported. Rather make them by the Church, and at the wrong time, then have them say no. So I consulted with the community, we arrange the Mass in English (it was commissioned by Fr José María Vegas) and I accepted the offer.

Since there was no house in St. Petersburg to meet, we had to go to Velikiy Novgorod. 180 kilometers of St. Petersburg. Not much, but the roads of Russia, unfortunately, are far from being what they are in Spain, for example. Do not fall asleep at the wheel, because the firm does not live up to its name, and often there are holes, holes and agujerazos. That's life, the mission is what you have.

went in two cars, because we were 6 people with me. In Novgorod we expect other 3 members of the group. The 2 nd driver was novel, with little time card, but he began to wheel and we pretty well. Despite leaving a bit late.

Why leave late? Because a girl was delayed. The reader may think that is normal, there's always some girl who is late, everyone who has organized anything in the parishes know that someone is always late. The excuses are often quite original, but this time, the explanation left me stunned. This woman was late because he had to reassure her husband, before going into training. Poor has a serious problem with alcohol, and this good woman, after much time devoted to it, decided to take some time for yourself and come to the retreat. To do so, had to leave locked up at home without keys. It ensured that would not fall into any corner, opening the head, were not going to steal money or mobile, it was not going to fight anybody ... It's hard having to resort to such extremes, but Sometimes you have to take serious decisions. And she did. I hid several bottles around the house, so that if the man wanted to drink, had to call and ask where were the bottles.

Anyway, we had a good weekend thanks to the kindness of p. Vladimir, who welcomed us in the parish of St. Peter and St. Paul. Shooting conditions were spartan, but when there is goodwill and a desire to meet God, nothing can stop a believer. Quick spent Saturday and Sunday, with participation at Sunday Mass included. I even met a guy from Peru, a medical student, I met some years ago in St. Petersburg, and still in Novgorod. It's a good person could not be otherwise, is called Alejandro ... Joking aside, I think we take the time, the group and me.

The worst what happened was this woman I'm talking about. Her husband called around to week, and did not answer the phone, or the fixed or the mobile. Poor long prayed for her and for him.

arrived on Sunday afternoon, and back home. After a quiet ride, with lots of rain and a stop for a drink, we get to the city. This woman asked me to accompany her home, just in case ... there we were, and when we arrived, thank God your husband was right. Had solved the task, he found the bottles, and so did not need to call. He was in a sorry state due to alcohol intake, but alive. My friend changed her face. I have seldom seen such sincere joy.

Why I write about it? Because, on his way home, I said that it might be difficult to live in a foreign country, speaking a strange language, being away from your homeland and your people ... In the end, said he admired me, myself and the priests and religious working in the city of St. Petersburg. She amazes us. She, who has spent years dealing with "miura" care, alcoholism of her husband. She, instead of abandoning them, as most people (and would have reason to leave), has decided to fulfill what he promised in his day, "in sickness and in health, wealth and ... poverty, till death do us part. " She who have to work for the two in order to succeed. She lives in very difficult conditions, because the crisis has also come to Russia. She is going to retirement, to put some order into his life and let God enlighten you in a difficult time. She looks up to me, that I have everything, I feel loved, I see I'm doing what God wants, where He will. I heard him, heard him saying he admired me, and I could not believe. Is that there are still good people.

many days I've been praying for this woman. And her husband. And many mothers, wives, grandmothers, who have to bear the cross of an alcoholic family. To feel the close presence of Christ, helping them to carry this burden. I ask that you also pray for them. To them if you have to admire them.

The Spanish consulate in St. Petersburg is interested in the life of our parish.

is not the first time Mr Consul General of Spain in SP is in contact with Fr John to learn of parish life. It has long been aware of the difficulties that you have to swallow this community against the construction company's refusal to release relevant documentation credited final possession of the Church. According to feedback we have received from reliable sources, the Polish and Lithuanian consulate also intervened before local authorities for anyone here, we "offer a helping hand" and finally we use the whole Church. So far, as already mentioned, we have a verbal authorization to use the temple a few hours on Sunday and a daily hour in the afternoon.

Don Francisco Pascual of the Party and the Governor writes:

the governor of the Murmansk region DV Dmitrienko

Dear Dmitry Vladimirovich

First, let me congratulate him on his recent appointment as Governor of Murmansk. I wish him success in his new position and I guarantee the cooperation of the Consulate General in all matters to kindly submit to my consideration.

Further to the communication that once went to his predecessor on the same subject, I now address you in relation to the problems posed to the Catholic parish in the city of Murmansk, which is a English priest, Father Juan Emilio Sarmiento .

As I have been informed by the pastor during the construction of the Catholic church in the streets of Murmansk Dostoyevskogo a conflict has arisen between you (the parish of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church Murmansk) and the Contractor (the Company "Murmanskpromstroy).

The pastor and parishioners, after years of waiting and financial sacrifices in the hope of seeing his dream of having a Catholic parish in Murmansk, lament bitterly that the works agreed under the project and the contract signed by both parties have not been fully implemented, that there have been serious breaches of contract in the execution of the works by the contractor and materials that have been used of poorer quality than that agreed in the works already completed.

The worst seems to be taking place unwarranted demands of large additional amounts of the Contractor, not covered by that contract, without which no payments or deliver the keys the necessary documentation to register the property or to perform gas connections, electricity, heating, drainage, etc..

The parishioners say they feel helpless against the actions of the builders.

Father Juan Emilio Sarmiento and his predecessor addressed a letter on this subject, at the suggestion of the Vatican Nuncio and Archbishop Paul Pezzi of Moscow, but received no response .

I would be most grateful if you gave the information relevant to local bodies, in order to help achieve an amicable solution to the situation, that is acceptable to both parties.

He was aware that having a Catholic parish is an important achievement that can display proudly Murmansk and attract a strong current of sympathy for her by several countries . It will also be a valuable contribution to their city, which is known for its rich multi-ethnic, for its warm welcome, for its tolerance and its high cultural level. Thirdly, the successful location and artistic facade of the temple, which will be familiar, help beautify the urban aspect of Murmansk.

attached a copy of the letter from the pastor, the August 4, 2008, copies of the texts that reflect the requests of the customers from 18 January 2009 and copy of the letter of Archbishop Paul Pezzi of February 3, 2009.

Thank you in advance what you can do on this my request to take this opportunity to renew the assurances of my highest consideration.

The Consulate General and I personally will always be available where we can be useful.

Domingo de Ramos: Brand New Life

"Palm Sunday: The premiere not nothing, drops his hands." So read a saying from my distant childhood years, when the fever was not yet commercial. To me, city boy provinces, this was a vital dogma, believed, hoped and loved. Since very little, I knew that Sunday was going to release something to proudly attend the procession of donkeys. In fact, in my house with four mouths to fill in addition to yours, my parents always had us prepared my sisters and me to release something, if only for socks or a handkerchief. All, rather than risk losing their hands ...

Murmansk

Today, after a chilly night, we released a new day surrounded by an impressive sun of justice. Slipping through the eyes of the body and the soul's eye, shouted at us that winter her days are numbered and triumphs spring Easter. The sun appears to be the bell that has brought so many of our parishioners to the celebration of Palm Sunday. It was an unexpected gift and enjoyable for everyone. We could meet outside in the square opposite the church for the blessing of the branches and the proclamation of the gospel of the entry into Jerusalem. Although the snow accumulated before our eyes, the sun made us feel the warmth of fraternal. Therefore, that the corridor passing between humans of the "pueri Murmanskorum bearing branches olivarum" everyone wanted to feel the touch of holy water ("that I do not ...") has played and sang with the strength of the release, a singing old as the historical event revived in Murmansk "Jerusalem" Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna, sanna ei. "

The sun has been the subject of the Liturgy. Streamed through the large windows and bathed us all again and again with its heat. Now the people sang like never before. Each and hard. They themselves have said at the end: "How beautiful! Many people! Y. .. how we sang!" It has not mattered that the celebration has lasted almost two o'clock. It was right there. At the end, some asked "but what there is now meeting with Father Mariano for segujir with talks about Easter?"

Jesus

entering Jerusalem, invites us to deliver the brand new life with Him for real life. The joy of Easter has started today, contemplating entering the King in his glory humble songs of the common people. The night of Gethsemane has not lost one iota of his agonizing drama. You have to drink the cup to the dregs. It should be des-lived and die every day. But the undefeated Sun of Easter will be the death of the tomb stone. The new wine of the kingdom prepared for simple, is soon to be released. Easter is coming. A des-lived, brothers and sisters, friends of Murmansk, which is two days! And the third ... Life premiered truth.

Palm Sunday Passover Northern

was my first Easter (Orthodox) in Russia. From the street, in the dark of night, he approached a swarm of lights wrapped by songs. When the procession reached the church where people are crowded, the doors opened and then I heard for the first time. It was a cheer rending the night. Seemed to spring from an eternal hope and hard resigned. "Vascrese Christos" (Christ has risen!) And then spontaneously, as if trying to assert loudly as indispensable, a chorus of voices answered: "Vaístinu vascrese" (truly risen). Then he I have heard many times, it's almost, almost (to hear it I can never avoid a tingle in my soul) I used to. But that night was the first time. And I cried with joy. Next to me stood a trembling sea of \u200b\u200bsmall lights, colored scarves, tears and joy contagious. Again the cry was raised and the wave of popular jubilation engulfed the words of the pope. And for the third time the same scene. Every night of Passover on the Russian people repeated thousands and thousands of times these words. In life it is going. Without belief in the resurrection of their Lord, without the conviction of this truth shouted until hoarse and tears, Russia in its innermost depths, would be sunk fatalism. To walk more than enough problems in Russia and the outlook is very encouraging. However, each year, Easter, Jesus pours through the veins of this town and gives him hope of feeling and screaming that he is alive and is a future for the world. Resides in St. Petersburg
the north pole of the Claretian mission. The North also exists, brothers of the South and Far West. We are the heirs of him who said that among the five talents, four needles are provoking the compass rose. We are less. We're older. Walk suffering from complex problems. The crises are about seeking someone to devour. But Jesus again is Easter. He invites us to believe, to put forward to the impossible, to go beyond our old docks too familiar. The mission is our reason for being and the mission to save the best of ourselves. Here we dream and facing north. We seem to hear Jesus inviting us to rise above ten degrees north, almost in parallel 70 and venture into the frontier of the mission there. In the North-North, where the habitable world ends, there is very little, they say. Almost nothing. Hungry crowds of the Word of God seems to not walk in these frozen lands and unfriendly. The first shipments have become not just loaded with bunches and romances. But no task and sea to discover. With Jesus in the boat, not afraid. The Easter of the Jubilee is a challenge to return to feel the vertigo of delivery, to say back to him, "what you want" to blow up fears and barriers that prevent us from yelling at everyone "is true, has risen" Hristo vascrese! "" Vaístinu vascrese! "

Why Would Ice Cram Upset Stomach But Cheese Fine

II Northern

now exactly nine years ago (it has rained, my God) I first came to Murmansk. We were prepared, as it were, the landing mission in these latitudes and wanted to know who we have to take the first steps. So I wrote a small NUNC review for our magazine, the newsletter of the Congregation Claretian, which you can read in this blog.

Now, 9 years later, the reality has changed, but the enthusiasm remains Easter. He returned to revive the enthusiasm of the early days searching Catholics among Lithuanians in the city and other contacts that we had been informed. Hours on the phone getting the most varied responses. Most Catholics potgencialmente or passing of religion, or had been Orthodox, as a result of "proselytizing" of marriage. In the end, in the Easter celebrations were four charges. No exaggeration. exactly four, not counting the 5 that had come to St. Petersburg.

afinazada community today and grow from day to day running to the church with two priests living permanently here, the reality of the Catholic presence in Murmansk is a joyful reality.

These days I'm thinking with the parish community which means the experience of Easter, from its beginnings to the present day Old Testament.

The experience of the Exodus for Israel is self-awareness of their own existence as a people. They exist because God freed them from escalvitud and made people feel free to live for Him Throughout history, the annual celebration of Easter, reliving the liberation, the passage by sea, the sacrifice of the lamb, bagels, helped them to never lose the North, even in the most terrible and tragic history. Exegetes say that each generation of sons of Abraham, the true children of Israel scattered throughout the land, you can add your own experiences to those of Israel and only in this way will really Easter Easter.

When I see the faces of our babushkas, our good people, children, Fr Or John P. Jaszek, I see the Easter story of this community written in their eyes. They really know what it means to pass from death to life as a community, which means trying to get rid of the old leaven of old wounds, death in the form of disappointment, dependencies, family breakdown or deception. Each meeting these days is being a pair my encounter with the Word in their lives and existential exegesis.

The revived memories of years past and the glory of God's hand is the keystone of pfresente with difficulties of all kinds and the opening to continue to see how the spirit continues to lead to true freedom and awareness of being part of a people saved and chosen to sing the praises "of us out of darkness and brought us into his wonderful light" () Perhaps as anywhere in the world these words have their natural place in Murmansk and find your key understanding.

Thank you, brothers of Murmansk, for helping to keep the north of Easter. Thank you for your testimony simple and sublime constacia and delivery. Breaks out, really, Easter in the snowy north and become new era dawning in the hearts of believers who confess their faith in Christ.

WHAT CHANGES DO NOT DELETE

When coastal fog enveloped Carriego Evaristo's voice, pushing his footsteps of Palermo Viejo, Jorge Luis Borges recalls in the Mythical Foundation of Buenos Aires , which remains in memory:

They set a few ramshackle huts on the coast,
slept uneasily. They say that in the Brook, but they are humbugs
forged in La Boca.

and exposed to rain and storm surges.

LOOKING FOR A EUROPEAN

Juan Cruz Ruiz, journalist and writer, associated with El Pais in Madrid is immersed in the stream called the new journalism , which raises demands of accuracy and verification reports to the reader, combined with the management of cleanliness in the language used and the use of new technology.
He marvels at the ability of Argentine "who always get together and meet." Go to Palermo today as a special place which are associated writers, artists and intellectuals under cafés and creative workshops.
He recalls his encounter with Edgardo Cozarinsky (writer, director, playwright, director and stage actor, born in Argentina in 1939) and Juan Martini (novelist Rosario, exiled in Spain, born 1944), and remembering: "... were there, of Palermo, as if time had stopped, that is, as if they were in Buenos Aires in an evening of early autumn, when the city has a stillness that one can only recall going to a library or a bookstore search, for example, this book by Julio Cortazar, "Los Premios" in which the writer "Continuity of Parks" opened his long and fruitful obsession with travel. " and notes: " Los Premios " is, for many readers, who are neither in Buenos Aires, or Argentina, or Palermo, Buenos Aires's novel, which has the brilliant start, "The Marquise went out at 5, Carlos Lopez thought. then adds: " And then there is an excursion that takes you from Back side to this side, to the obsessions of writing ending Cortázar "The Motornauts of cosmoway" and moves on a boat all the fantasy as he could, the great Buenos Aires who returned in December 1983 to say goodbye to the city where he began to write. "

Cross speaks almost like writing, playing the metaphor. And like many Uruguayans, praises the book spaces, new cafes and the smooth current architecture of the River Plate area. Otherwise, he could not dream Carriego. Displaced the upper classes are descendants of immigrants. Disappeared "the flat entering the pound" ...

about working before, says "... At one time I just took notes and then picked up what I remembered. Until I had a problem ... "
Remember the best part of his interview. It was with the Portuguese writer Saramago: "We were alone, with computer (PC) in the middle. As answer, transcribed. And so it was published. "
When asked if it is connected all the time, he admits: " What a subject! Yes .. and I'm sorry ". then sets: " We play now things differently. Do not think it's the best. "
