Comments by Rosario, Vice President of Nicaragua,
in the Midday Edition of Multinoticias Channel 4
January 4th 2024
Good afternoon, Compañera. Here we are, greeting each other. Our Fraternal Embrace to all the Families of our Blessed Nicaragua, in Peace, in Peace, in Peace...! Our Nicaragua gives thanks to God for Concord and Common Good, that Concord and that Common Good on which we work on every day, with Love, Hope and Trust in our Heavenly Father.
I have received a Poem from the Writer, Brother Edwin Moncada, which I want to read because it is important to know how we share Thoughts, Reflections, Truths, Real Truths. It begins with a Psalm of David, which says: “For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee”; it is from a Psalm of David.
"Walt Whitman made silence burn:
'Don't let anyone take away your right to express yourself, which is almost a duty.'
And in life, faith or art, the norm
is that individuals must respond
for their actions before the law. So be it in Rome
or Spain (yes, in the Spain of loving
There are 33 priests, not of the beautiful, who appear
in prison, and not by praying the Angelus at dawn),
Either in the US or in Chile, and no one is “astonished”.
Ah, but if it's in Nicaragua...
Garments are torn apart.
It always happens like this. Notorious or anonymous.
With dogmas or pure phylacteries.
Since the last
Sanhedrin
even the most incensed cluster
scoundrel.
The first to rip off is the lie
facing the Truth.
The lie that has in the center of its sight
anger and evil for
everything inspired by the celestial Light.
False, there is no religious persecution.
If a priest is arrested, is for a reason.
That is not religious persecution.
For centuries and for open coffers,
they have believed themselves are above the laws,
and some hierarchs
even above the King of Kings.
If they capture
a hammock weaver because of something,
due to lack of sloop
and luxurious life
they will not bark
they will not say:
“There is persecution of precious craftsmanship.”
Weavers don't believe they are above
anyone, not even below: they are workers,
they do not ask for nor live on gifts.
That's why they weave
hammocks, they do not attack
the country we love.
If they put a doctor of the Republic
in a prison for some reason:
they do not say either:
“There is persecution of medical sciences.”
A good doctor or a decent doctor,
does not believe himself more than the patient,
nor of the governing Constitution.
They heal, and they really heal people.
Because they really assume
the hippocratic oath
in their personal and professional life.
Ergo, they are neither hypocritical nor cynical.
If a guitarist
goes to jail for some criminal act,
no one says:
“He harasses artists for no reason.”
Musicians don't feel they are in the heights.
They relax themselves in the chords.
His part is not with the roar or the bitterness.
They were not born to make noise or disorder.
His job is harmony that lasts.
If they put a teacher
in prison for violating
the law, they don't say that's why
“we must escape from magisterial persecution.”
Teachers don't believe
they are predestined of no sign
to say Amen and say what Jerusalem
heard from the Divine Rabbi:
"Love each other; do good..."
That is why teachers give classes, to nurture good
citizens, technicians, workers, doctors...,
—and those who were born full of art—
without post-truth 2.0, without disinformation
newspapers or the massive corporate poison
of media sludge.
We want Peace and Development, not hostility
from those who hate who cries “Repent!”
in order to rhythm their villainy with the doctrine
of pity, there they go empty of love
how dark they are in weaving a crown of thorns
against the Great Homeland of the titan Dario.
Paranoia and more paranoia, just paranoia...
And nothing, nothing, absolutely
of Metanoia (*).
What Repentance means, it means beyond the obtuse, anachronistic, traditional mind, active in evil. Metanonia, which is before and after. Change of thought, direction, focus, perspective, meaning in Life. It encompasses leaving behind moral or spiritual collapse for a clean change of course.
Paranoia? No ! Metanonia, which is transcending? Not that ! It's paranoia. And never go back. Never descend. It is not an option, not for a Christian at least.
This is how we feel, always capable of strengthening ourselves, of transcending, of learning, always with the humility of our human condition. It is in humility that we build. It is by recognizing the Great Power of God that we can build. It is not by feeling
or believing ourselves to be God, because we are not God. And we cannot consider ourselves more than God.
In this Plane of Life, it is up to us, Human Beings, to be humble and recognize that Great Power of God, transformative, evolutionary, that Great Power of God that illuminates us, to always grow, to always learn, to transcend.
Evil does not defeat Good. Love can do everything, and the Love of God can infinitely, powerfully and strongly do everything!
