Closing Windows with Padre Almeida
2nd Sunday of Lent: The true story of Padre Almeida of the San Diego monastery outside of Quito has some valuable lessons to teach us about (i) what is happening to the Church in our times; (ii) how to look at our lives as faithful Catholics, and (iii) why we must strive to make our Lent fruitful. Also, the painting of the Inferno by Hernando de la Cruz is helpful for us in putting the lessons of Padre Almeida into action, most especially during Lent. A picture of this painting can be located found on the internet. There are 25 sins listed in the paining... Murmurador (rumormonger, insinuator, backbiter), Vana (vain), Adúltera (adulteress), Impenitente (unrepentant), Cruel (cruel), Bailarín (dancer), Deshonesto (dishonest), Injusto (unjust), Borracho (drunkard), Votador (blasphemer, swearer), Deliciosa (prostitute, harlot), Registrador (?), Usurero (usurer), Homicida (murderer), Hechicera (sorcerer, witch), Perezoso (slothful), Traidor (traitor), Tahúr (cheater at cards), De duro corazón (hard-hearted), Vengativo (vengeful), Nefando (loathsome, vile, abominable), Ladrón (thief), Sacrílego (sacrilegious, heretic), Imprudente (imprudent, foolhardy), Impuro (impure). May we never commit them or any other mortal sin so as never to join those who are being justly punished for them down below.
