Reborn from the Son

These days the mercantilist mindset, legitimate daughter of savage capitalism, takes full advantage of the Christmas season. Meanwhile, in the midst of emotional acceleration caused by the commercial environment, you may give thanks God for so many good and hopeful for the struggles that are the basis of its goodness.

I would therefore indicate some aspects that I have as clear evidence of God's mercy in my life and I note also the hope that in perspective, it follows from these facts.

1. I know first hand this year doctoral theses Luis Benitez (Santiago de Maria), Manuel Acosta (Chalatenango), Luis Coto (San Salvador), Humberto Flores (San Salvador).

• A L. Benitez, his historical research on the political independence of Central America for El Salvador exemplified from Matias Delgado case, I appreciate that I get in touch with historical sources of critical historical value. Strikes me the ability to ask questions Benitez things, ie go presenter each stage that develops the issue addressed. I congratulate you because it maintains a very clear view on his thesis and is not shy about defending. Text seldom has been so enlightening me on the subject of American political independence and ecclesial implications that this has caused. Instead
• Manuel Acosta led me through the wonderful world of biblical theology with his work on the issue of marginalization in community work who gathered around the Apostle Luke. Are explained with exemplary clarity the terms of pax romana and worship the emperor as historical and sociological background of Luke ecclesial practice. Currently a work of impressive, if one thinks of a church Salvadoran living ecclesial triumphalism and costs assume the precarious ecclesial responsibility imposed by the historical daily. It was a pleasure to read the literary style used by Manuel, smooth and without waste of words.
• Dear Luis Coto, after pleading allow me to read his writings, he agreed, and it was worth the appeal. And Coto's personality and writing. That is, Coto is rigorous and comprehensive. With a balanced and critical apparatus with well documented arguments. The main theme for Coto is the laity in Central America, on the shelf that is of Vatican II to the present. Coto makes a historical-pastoral and interpretations sheds light rigged on the American Church. And best of all is that it does on the basis of opinions, but quoting the documents detailed how the American Church. I mean, if someone attempts to refute, you should deny all doctrinal apparatus of the cited documents. I made a special effort for a sustained read almost 1000 pages before the doctor put me Coto and has been worthwhile. I urge you to publish but this is a release decision.
• I refer to an interesting thesis, also unpublished, which deals with the philosopher José Carlos Mariategui, written by Dr. Humberto Flores. Even being one of the most renowned philosophers of America, Mariátegui has been little studied from the theological point of view. His thinking on the topic Indian can be a great help, with due critical analysis, to strengthen the philosophical basis of Indian theology.

In my view the question of the intellectual output of our country, I believe it is necessary to create a school of thought, for thought is unfounded fragmented and, ultimately, contribute little to the transformation of Salvadoran society.

2. But I have not only academic reasons to give thanks to God this year. We could also help a number of fellow priests who are giving value to their university studies seminar, enrolling in courses offered by the Don Bosco University. They not only study but also strive for their studies are experienced in the environments of the various ecclesial communities which are pilgrims on this story. From them I learned that nothing is impossible when you have a fundamental decision that encourages efforts. I admire them because they are still working in parishes are able to organize their time to devote part of it to study. It is commendable in a church that hardly recognizes the benefits of a well-formed.

3. The interesting thing about points 1 and 2 is that none of them could stand without support from the foundation of the People of God. In recent years we have witnessed an interesting strengthening the ties of support and solidarity between priests and lay faithful, to achieve common objectives at the church, as the examples above. Salvadoran Catholic Church has difficulty sustaining serious projects and stable over time in terms of evangelization, so in a context of pastoral disorientation only solidarity and unity in the marginalization has a future. In the year begins, we, as a call to all priests and laity to maintain networks of support and solidarity at the church. And all for the continued fulfillment of the Kingdom of God among us.

4. The year 2010 leaves the first year of perseverance in the prophetic gesture as embodied in the effort to keep up the training of seminarians from the diocese of Santiago de María, Zacatecoluca, San Miguel and Sonsonate, gathered today in the philosophical based in Santiago de Maria . Support for this project is testing our ability to grant: spiritual, intellectual and material. Support the current bishops under whose backs bears the responsibility for maintaining the seminar in Santiago de Maria is an imperative of our Christian witness today.

As shown, Christmas 2010 will leave an interesting taste of hope and struggle for the actual construction of the Kingdom of God.

wish to express my appreciation and support to all of you, priests and laity, for their generous donation and for each of their pastoral and evangelizing. Reborn in Jesus is to enter the dimension of historical transformation that made his incarnation.

! THAT GOD BLESS THE CHILD!
