From the Pastor’s Desk:On the Veterans Day of November 1996,Phan Thi Kim Phuc, now 33, came to theblack granite Vietnam Veterans Memorialas a wife and mother, to tell severalthousand spectators that she forgives thosewho bombed her village and has put thepast behind her. Kim Phu placed a wreathat the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington and delivereda short speech. When Kim Phu was only 9 years old, her picturewas taken by an Associated Press photographer and it stirredthe conscience of the world. Moments after the picture wastaken, Kim Phuc lost consciousness and was taken to a hospitalby the photographer, Nick Ut, who later won a Pulitzer Prizefor the photo. Her village had just been hit by a United Statesnapalm attack. Her two brothers were killed instantly. KimPhu's clothes were burned off her. In the photograph, this littlegirl was running, naked, in pain and terror. In front of the wallinscribed with the names of more than 58,000 U.S. war dead,Kim Phuc said that she was focused on the future. Speaking toa hushed crowd in Washington, she made the followingstatement: "I have suffered a lot from my physical andemotional pain. Sometimes I thought I could not live, but Godsaved my life and gave me Faith and Hope. If I could talk faceto face with the pilot who dropped the bomb, I would tell himwe cannot change history, but we should try to do things for thepresent and for the future to promote peace." No retaliation!Just tough, wise love. That's the spirit of Jesus taught in theSermon on the Mount given in today’s Gospel. It's the greatestpower on earth.

As hesaw it, he could either spend his time in jail hating all thepeople who put him there, or he could choose somethingelse. He chose instead to respect those he came into contactwith each day, and it made all the difference in the world.And because of the suffering he endured and his ability toforgive his enemies, Mandela gained a great deal of moralauthority that enabled him to lead his country peacefully outof apartheid when almost everyone had anticipated abloodbath.

Kim Phu colocó una ofrenda floral en el Monumento delos Veteranos de Vietnam en Washington y pronunció un brevediscurso. Cuando Kim Phu tenía sólo 9 años de edad, su fotofue tomada por un fotógrafo de Associated Press y agitó laconciencia del mundo. Momentos después de tomar lafotografía, Kim Phuc perdió el conocimiento y fue trasladada aun hospital por el fotógrafo Nick Ut, quien más tarde ganó unpremio Pulitzer por la foto. Su pueblo acababa de haber sidocombatido por un ataque de napalm de Estados Unidos. Sus doshermanos murieron al instante. La ropa de Kim Phu fuequemada. En la fotografía, esta pequeña niña corría, desnuda,con dolor y terror. Frente a la pared con los nombres inscritosde más de 58,000 muertos por la guerra con Estados Unidos,Kim Phuc dijo que ella se enfocó en el futuro. Hablando a unamultitud silenciosa en Washington, hizo la siguientedeclaración: "he sufrido mucho por mi dolor físico yemocional. A veces pensé que no podría vivir, pero Dios salvómi vida y me dio Fe y Esperanza. Si pudiera hablar cara a caracon el piloto que lanzó la bomba, le diría no podemos cambiarla historia, pero deberíamos tratar de hacer las cosas por elpresente y promover la paz para el futuro." ¡Sin venganza!Solamente amor fuerte, sabio.

Sus hijos fueron expulsados de la escuela e impedidos a conseguir puestos de trabajo. Hubierasido fácil para Nelson Mandela al salir de su celda, ser unhirviente caldero de venganza. Pero Mandela dice cómodespués que fue puesto en la cárcel, él sabía que tenía quetomar una decisión. Como él lo vio, él podría pasar su tiempo en la cárcel odiando a todas las personas que lo pusieronallí, o él podría elegir algo diferente. En lugar de ello decidió respetar a los que entraban en contacto con el cada día,e hizo toda la diferencia en el mundo. Y por el sufrimientoque él soportó y su capacidad de perdonar a sus enemigos,Mandela obtuvo una gran autoridad moral que le permitióliderar a su país pacíficamente cuando casi todo el mundoesperaba un baño de sangre.

Residents ofVATICAN CORNER Rome awokeSaturday February 4, 2017 to find dozens ofposters on the walls of their city showing ascowling Pope Francis. The posters read “AhFrancis, you’ve taken over congregations,removed priests, decapitated the Order of Maltaand the Franciscans of the Immaculate, ignoredCardinals but where’s your mercy?” Workersquickly covered over the posters and Italianpolice searched security camera footage for theculprits. However, no group claimedresponsibility, and there were few leads,although it is likely that a conservative factionof the Catholic Church was involved. Critics ofthe Pope’s removal of the grand master of theancient Order of the Knights of Malta and theappointment of his special delegate to that Orderhave angered some and they may be behind theposters. The Knights of Malta is a RomanCatholic lay religious order and the present-daycontinuation of the medieval KnightsHospitaller, founded about the year 1048 toprovide medical care for pilgrims to the Holy Land. They constructed a church, convent and hospital in Jerusalem. Howeverduring the First Crusade, after the loss of Jerusalem to the medieval realm Mamluk Sultanate in about the year 1099, theKnights Hospitaller became a military order. They added to their tasks the defense of the Christian sick and pilgrims fromIslamic persecution. They also began protecting the territories that the crusaders had captured from the Muslims. The Orderwas recognized as soverign in 1113 by Pope Paschal II, putting it under the protection of the Holy See, and granting it theright to freely elect its superiors without interference from other secular or religious authorities. The Knights had lives thatwere religious, chivalrous, and noble and they were bound by their vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Orderadopted the white eight-pointed Cross after the eight “beatitudes” Jesus pronounced in his Sermon on the Mount, and it isstill their symbol today. The Order eventually became an important naval power in the eastern Mediterranean. In 1530 theygained control of the strategic island of Malta located between the Christian and Muslim worlds and where pirate activitiesthreatened trade. The Order spent centuries on Malta and became known as the “Order of Malta” or the “Knights of Malta”.Today the Order is headquartered in Rome and has 13,500 Knights, Dames, and auxiliary members, employing about 25,000doctors, nurses, auxiliaries and paramedics assisted by 80,000 volunteers in more than 120 countries. Traditionally, Europeannobility has made up the small ruling leadership of the Knights. Leaked lists of their supposed membership read like aWho’s Who of the global establishment. Former U.S. first president George Bush has appeared on such a supposedmembership list. To be continued.
