Noviembre 2020: Apapachar

Posted on Mission Bulletin Stories (Espanol) by Elena Huegel · December 08, 2020 11:39 AM · 1 reaction

Panal de miel son los dichos suaves; suavidad al alma y medicina para los huesos. Proverbios 16:24

Apapachar es una palabra que proviene de la cultura del pueblo Náhuatl de México. Significa brindar una atención gentil o hacer que alguien se sienta especial a través de palabras o acciones: literalmente "acariciar con el alma". Cuando recibimos una bendición especial, decimos que Dios nos ha apapachado.

La pandemia ha afectado principalmente a las personas ancianas y a las confinadas. Facilitadores del programa Raíces en las Ruinas: Esperanza en el Trauma, con sede en el Instituto de Investigación y Estudios Interculturales (INESIN) en Chiapas, Méjico, sugirió una forma de llegar a las personas que podrían no tener acceso a las plataformas digitales.

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24

"What do you need for tomorrow?" Jorge, a quiet, attentive twelve year old asks me in Spanish, unsure of the words to formulate the question in a language so different from Tseltal Mayan, his mother tongue.  I pantomime the items as I speak to make sure that he understands me.  "Can you get a post hole digger, a bucket and a wheelbarrow full of compost?"  He seems unsure of the word compost.  "Will old leaves do?" and smiles when I nod and say "yes!"

Pray with Mexico Sunday, September 20, 2020

Posted on Weekly Prayers by Elena Huegel · September 14, 2020 12:00 AM

Mexico_Elena_Huegel_DSCN9091.JPGLectionary Selection:  Exodus 16:2-15

Prayers for Mexico:  

Our God, heart of the sky - heart of the earth,
we who live in the birthplace of corn, who eat thin wafers called tortillas that fall not from the heavens but are a rich gift from mother earth, we ask your Spirit to transform our complaints into a joyous passion for abundant life.

As we complain about conflicts: shape our collective strength,  resistance in the face of corrupting forces, and capacity to find just solutions for all.

As we complain about the regulations and limitations due to the pandemic: mold our behavior with consideration for others.

As we complain if there aren't any tortillas or if there are only tortillas to eat: send us reminders to appreciate the food on our tables, care for our soil and native seeds,
respect for those who toil in the field, the hospital, or the market.

We recognize that complaining is the default response of an oppressed people,
             a people whose identity is trapped in the pain of victimhood.

Give us wisdom to find the grains of truth hidden in our complaints and strength to heed your call action:  claiming freedom, naming injustice, affirming dignity, and caring for all your creation.

Amen
