Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
For this 4th of July weekend, perhaps, as a nation of immigrants, it is best to be
reminded of that from the poetry of one of our own: Emma Lazarus. Her poem
The New Colossus is inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York
City. The poetry is stirring, and just like the prophetic poetry of ancient Israel
and Judah, summons us to “the better angels of our nature.” On this 239th anniversary of the foundation
of the Republic, let us meditate again on where we came from and where we are going.
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"cries she
"
With silent lips. "
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
Para este fin de semana de 4 de julio, como una nación de inmigrantes, tal ve. lo mejor es que se nos
recuerde de eso, a partir de la poesía de alguien de los nuestros: Emma Lazarus. Su poema The New
Colossus (El Nuevo Coloso) que está inscrito en la base de la Estatua de la Libertad en la ciudad de
Nueva York. La poesía es conmovedora, y al igual que la poesía profética del antiguo Israel y de Judá,
nos convoca a "los mejores ángeles de nuestra naturaleza". En este aniversario 239 de la fundación de
la República, meditemos nuevamente de dónde venimos y hacia dónde vamos.
El Nuevo Coloso por Emma Lazarus
No como el mítico gigante griego de bronce,
De miembros conquistadores a horcajadas de tierra a tierra;
Aquí en nuestras puertas del ocaso bañadas por el mar se erguirá
Una poderosa mujer con una antorcha, cuya llama
Es el relámpago aprisionado, y su nombre
Madre de los Desterrados. Desde el faro de su mano
Brilla la bienvenida para todo el mundo; sus templados ojos dominan
El puerto de aéreos puentes que las ciudades gemelas enmarcan.
¡Guárdense, tierras antiguas, su pompa legendaria!"grita ella
"
Con labios mudos. "
Denme a sus rendidos, a sus pobres,
Sus masas hacinadas anhelando respirar en libertad,
El desamparado desecho de sus rebosantes playas.
Envíenme a estos, los desamparados, sacudidos por las tempestades a mí,
¡Yo elevo mi faro detrás de la puerta dorada!"
Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John

Special Collection next Sunday for
Catholic Home Missions Appeal
What is a "home mission?" If you have ever visited eastern
Kentucky or Tennessee, driven through rural Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, spent time on the Mexican border, or
passed through scattered small towns in Wyoming, Montana, or Oregon, you have been in mission territory. The little
brick or clapboard churches you see along the way, housing
pockets of Catholic faithful, are the home missions.
The Church is quite fragile in many parts of the United
States where Catholics are a small minority. Some 90
dioceses rely on the Catholic Home Missions Appeal for
support of poor parishes, work with growing populations of Hispanics and other minority Catholics, youth ministry, training for lay ministers, educating Seminarians, training Deacons, evangelization, and religious education.
Deacon John Coe’s sister passed away in May and
he had various family issues to deal with in North
Carolina. He has indicated that he may return in
the middle of August. Keep Deacon John and his
family in your prayers.
