POPE FRANCIS

 Love, Compassion, mercy

I love Pope Francis and since day one of his pontificate he sings my songs.  His love of the suffering and deep commitment to their well-being unfortunately falls on the deaf ears of all Catholic nations.  It is so easy to come up with excuses why the bob wires and virtual casting out of humanity that are in grave danger.  It is shameful and I for one cannot understand the teachings of Christ being portrayed in this way without the same He has given us.  It is upsetting to me to read the hatred spewed and vengeance.  Why is this for many of us have not experience this kind of suffering with rejection in its highest form.  These refugees did not want to leave their homes, possessions, family life and take a perilous journey to find hope and a new life.
 
The Holy Father speaks of this situation in many of his homilies however, the majority have turned their backs on this crisis nor want to get involved.  I write these blogs in hope it will change a heart one at a time.  I am unable to do anything with substance but what I can do with this talent our Lord has given me is His.
 
Pope Francis took back three families 12 in all to the Vatican to help and get them asylum a process it is said will take six months.  What a blessing of Our Lord we could emulate if every Christian singular or as a family took a family adopt them for 6 months while helping them to get asylum “OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD THIS WOULD BE.”

RAPE

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

RETURNING

  It has been at least four years since I have written anything.  My mission life came to a halt in 2018 when I became very ill while in India.  I spent two and half months in a hospital in India with a 5% chance of survival from my surgery and a 5% chance of surviving Critical Care.  I received amazing care. I was sent back to the states for further treatment especially since I lost my ability to walk.  It was physiological.  It took 9 months before I could walk but walk I did.  The surgery left me with a Colostomy which was troublesome, to say the least.  However, in June of this year, I had a colostomy reversal which was a success and all is back to normal.  I am in a Nursing Home with other medical issues.  It took me until now to accept my life here.  I am in a private room which allows me my quiet, prayer time, crocheting and interacting with friends in the home.   I decided this morning to go back to writing...I hope you will take this journey with me.   Linda Mary Liotino
