Bishop @silviojbaez preaching: "The Cross is the hour of truth and the stage where the story of divine love unfolds, stronger than the destructive force of evil, the cruelty of hatred, and the fanaticism of injustice."

Read these prophetic words of St. John Paul II and see if you can find a description of #USA society:
"This view of #freedom [which exalts the individual in an absolute way] leads to a serious distortion of #life in society....
#prophecy THREAD 1/5
..."If the promotion of the self is understood in terms of absolute autonomy, people inevitably reach the point of rejecting one another. Everyone else is considered an enemy from whom one has to defend oneself....

..."Thus society becomes a mass of individuals placed side by side, but without any mutual bonds. Each one wishes to assert himself independently of the other and in fact intends to make his own interests prevail....

THREAD Turkish occupation of Haifa, Mount Carmel and its effect on the Discalced Carmelites
1. Forced Exile 1914
The nuns learn 4 November that their fate is no longer in the hands of their long-time benefactor, the French consul 🇫🇷 but now they answer to the USA vice-consul 🇺🇸
2. Forced Exile: When an impatient Turkish soldier forced his way onto the property for an inspection on the eve of the nuns' departure, he investigated the Hermitage of Elijah. A snake emerged from the darkness and nearly struck the Turk. He fled in haste, the nuns rejoiced.
3. Forced Exile: The Carmelite nuns dreamed of martyrdom on Mt Carmel like their 13th c. hermit ancestors. The USA consulate would not permit that. 30 November 1914 the nuns departed for France by way of Rome - taking a long way around because of mines in the water

Carmelite historian Fr Elias Friedman:
"The extent of the Arab débàcle in Haifa can be judged from the statistics:
> In 1944, of a total population of 128,000, Jews numbered 66,000 (52%)
> in 1948, of a total population of 98,284, Jews numbered 94,718."

Fr Friedman explains how 4 religious from the Christian Brothers school in Haifa sought secure refuge with the Discalced Carmelites at Stella Maris in January 1948; desperate Arab families followed, until their numbers swelled to over 500

.@silviojbaez states: dialog is the means to overcome destructive relationships that see the other person not only as a simple adversary, but as an enemy and only an enemy; one who has no family; one whose feelings or projects are not considered, because he/she is not human

.@silviojbaez "We mustn't forget that the fundamental principle that should guide coexistence even in the toughest moments of a conflict is the inviolable dignity of the human being & that under no circumstances is the vulnerability or aggression to another person justified"
