“Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves, 'I am not the kind of person I want to be.' It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

En Mexico existen lugares literalmente medievales, como los conventos de Morelos que fueron construidos en el siglo XVI, cuando España era aún país medieval.🏰

Day of the Dead / Día de los Muertos

La Fiesta de todos los fieles difuntos  ha sido elevada por el corazón de nuestro pueblo. La Fe cotidiana de nuestros pueblos a ennoblecido a esta fiesta a el día de los muertos. En este día  dependiendo de nuestra localidad decoramos, comemos, cantamos y hasta jugamos en  las tumbas de familiares y amigos. De igual manera en algunos lugares santificamos el hogar con altares para esperar con un banquete a aquellos que ya entraron en el misterio de la muerte y la nueva vida. Y así con estos ritos culturales es como esperamos el  retorno al hogar y al corazón de los que partieron pero que aun no se han ido del todo. Esperamos su visita a este mismo corazón donde guardamos su luz y también su oscuridad, su sabiduría y sus heridas, su paz y su guerra que nos trajeron en vida, pues es en el hogar,  en este mismo lugar, donde  mi paz y mi guerra, mi luz y  mi oscuridad se encuentra con la de ellos. No hay dicotomía ni separación en el Día de los muertos con nuestros muertos. No solo son oscuridad, ni tampoco solo son luz, no solo son guerra sino también son paz y aquí es donde nos aferramos al amor radical de Jesucristo que nos regala su rostro bello y gentil para que a la hora de llegar al juicio ante el Padre todo poderoso, El pueda ver lo hermoso que ve en su Hijito en nosotros también.

Elevemos nuestra oración en esta Fiesta del Día de los muertos, con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo que es el fuego del Amor que se nos revelo en Jesucristo quien toma a justos y culpables, a rectos y torcidos. 

Así nos atrevemos a pedir que, con la lección que nos ha dado la fe de  nuestro pueblo, que brille la luz eterna en nuestro hermano Caín y también en Abel.

Que brille la luz eterna  en nuestra hermana Sara y también en Agar, en nuestro hermano Ismael y también en Isaac. En Uriel y también en David.

Que brille la luz eterna en nuestro hermano Judas Iscariote y en aquel también fue conocido como Saulo.

Que brille la luz eterna en Ananías y Safira y también en Aquila y Priscila.

Que brille en san Ambrosio como también en Origenes.

Para que la luz eterna brille sobre Marcial Maciel y como también brilla en sus victimas.

Que la luz de Cristo brille el Cardenal Bernard Law  como brilla en San Juan Pablo II.

Que la Luz de Cristo, en esta Fiesta del Día de los Muertos, tome nuestra oscuridad para ser transformada y nuestra luz para ser elevada, pues esa es la promesa cumplida de Jesús, Nuestro Senor y Hermano quien conoció una tumba y fue resucitado. ¡En su nombre, amén!

The Feast of all the faithful departed has been elevated by the hearts of our people. The daily Faith of our people has ennobled this festival to the Day of the Dead. On this day, depending on our location, we decorate, eat, sing and even play on the graves of family and friends. In the same way, in some places we sanctify the home with altars to wait with a banquet for those who have already entered into the mystery of death and new life. With these cultural rites we wait for their return to our homes and hearts of those who are gone but have not left completely. We wait for their visit to this same place where we keep their light and also their darkness, their wisdom and their wounds, their peace and the war that they brought to us during their life, We await for them at home in our hearts because it is in this same place where my peace and my war, my light and my darkness meets theirs. There is no dichotomy or separation on the Day of the Dead with our dead. They are not only darkness, nor are only light, they are not only war but they are also peace. Here we cling to the radical love of Jesus Christ who gives us his beautiful and gentle face so that when the Day of Judgment comes before the Almighty Father, He may see the same beauty He sees in His Little One in us too.

Let us raise our prayers on this Feast of the Day of the Dead, with the strength of the Holy Spirit, which is the fire of Love that was revealed to us in Jesus Christ who takes the righteous and the guilty, the upright and the crooked. And thus we dare to ask that, with the lesson that the faith of our people has given us, may eternal light shine in:

  our brother Cain and also in Abel.

May eternal light shine on our sister Sara and also on Hagar, on our brother Ishmael and also on Isaac. In Urias and also in David.

May eternal light shine on our brother Judas Iscariot and in he who was also known as Saul.

May eternal light shine on Ananias and Sapphira and also on Aquila and Priscilla.

May it shine in Saint Ambrose as well as in Origen.

So that the eternal light shines on Marcial Maciel and as it shines on his victims.

May the light of Christ shine on Cardinal Bernard Law as it shines on Saint John Paul II.

May the Light of Christ, on this Feast of the Day of the Dead, take our darkness to be transformed and our light to be elevated, for that is the fulfilled promise of Jesus, Our Lord and Brother, who knew a tomb and was resurrected. In His Name, we pray, amen!

As we've entered into the 2024 election year, I Beg you all that feel disappointment and rage at the disgraceful excuses for politicians we have in the US rn to look into the campaign of the two women shown in this video.

Claudia de la Cruz and Karina Garcia are running for President and VP in 2024. Here's their campaign video, as I can only include 1 vid per post. And here is their website.

I implore everyone who has the ability to vote in the November US election to read up on them.

Claudia De la Cruz (Presidential Candidate) is a mother, popular educator, community organizer and theologian. Being at the nexus of many different projects, organizations and social movements, Claudia connects different groups of people to link and merge struggles together in the overarching fight for justice. Born in the South Bronx to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic, she was nourished by the Black and Caribbean working class communities of the Bronx and Washington Heights in the 1980s and 90s. At an early age, she was already questioning the conditions of poverty, violence, and oppression in her neighborhood, and what she saw and experienced served as her first entry point to understanding working class consciousness. When she was 13, Claudia began her political organizing work at her home church—Iglesia Episcopal Santa Maria (later the Iglesia San Romero de Las Américas–UCC), grounding her work on principles of liberation theology. She actively participated in campaigns to free political prisoners; to get the U.S. Navy out of Vieques, Puerto Rico; to end the U.S. blockade against Cuba; for the freedom of Palestine; against police terror—to name a few. In high school, she became a peer educator, conducting workshops on reproductive health and safe sex at community hubs and progressive churches, particularly for youth in the Bronx. It was through this work and her experiences as a working class Black Caribbean young woman that she understood there was only one solution to our collective problems: to fight for a better future, a socialist future

-

Karina Garcia (VP Candidate) is a Chicana organizer and popular educator who has been fighting for a better world since she was 17 years old as a high school student in California. From El Barrio in New York City to the border areas of Texas, she has helped lead campaigns against landlord abuses, wage theft, and police brutality, as well as fights for reproductive justice, immigrants rights and student financial aid reform. She is a founder of the Justice Center en El Barrio in New York City and is a member of the Central Committee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Karina’s father migrated to the U.S. from Mexico when he was just 16 years old, and the will of working-class immigrants like him to survive and thrive inspired her to take on life with determination. This served her well when Karina received a full scholarship to study at Columbia University. She moved across the country by herself, knowing that she had to seize upon every opportunity to give back—a single year of tuition was the equivalent of her family's entire household income. As soon as she arrived, she joined every conceivable progressive organization on campus. She led struggles to expand financial aid for low-income students, for immigrant and worker rights, and to speak out against the Iraq war. In 2006, her activism received national attention when she led a campaign to confront and shut down the anti-immigrant fascist militia, the Minuteman Project. When Karina took a semester off to do a speaking tour in California, she met with high school and college students to keep building the movement for immigrant rights. That same year, she joined the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Graduating with a degree in Economics, Karina went on to become a New York City high school math teacher. After school, she advised a student group that protested against budget cuts, the Iraq war, police brutality and anti-immigrant laws. In 2012, she moved into a national organizing position for the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice where she worked for nearly a decade training immigrant women and working-class Latina activists in New York, Texas, Virginia and Florida.

Understand that despite the mainstream medias desperate attempts to make us believe that our choices are really just Biden and Trump that that is not true.

We have other options.

We have better options.

4. Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, made with Nahua Textiles

5. Desert Sunset, made with Huichol Textiles

I might work a little more on these, since I have until the 19th to finish, but in any case, for my Art final (my last final before graduating) we had to do a 5 piece series on whatever subject/topic we desired. So I recreated stock photos of Mexico (that I purchased), using Indigenous textiles.

Despite my professors thoughts, I made the choice to stick to one indigenous group per piece, as I don’t enjoy the common view of seeing indigenous groups as a monolith.
