SAINT RAFAEL GUÍZAR Y VALENCIA, POPE JOHN PAUL II, SAINT TORIBIO ROMO, THE BLESSED VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE

(A few days before Father Jesus Resendez answered my email—the TV reported that a convoy of about 20 armed trucks assaulted the policemen on night duty and beat them up—between 1:00 am to 3:00 am they hit all three towns of Tabasco, Jalpa and Huanusco).
Fr. Resendez writes: May the Lord grant us his Holy Spirit so that we can know His will. We are indeed living in very painful times, but we live with the conviction that nothing ESCAPES THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD. In His goodness He knows our problems. In fact, this whole situation of violence in our towns will only draw us closer to God and help us to grow in sanctity as He uses this opportunity to “prune us” a bit.
(Fr. Resendez is a good friend and lives near Huanusco. He is the pastor of the church in the town of Jalpa. I emailed him and told him that no one from Huanusco had written to me concerning my stay there in mid-April).
He writes: In reply to your problem about the lack of response from our people in Huanusco and about your community’s Project and Mons. Soto’s ideas—well, that simply confirms the fact that it is not easy to find the answers you are looking for. Continue to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
This is an invitation for you to a hope that relies on the certainty that God never will leave us alone: "I will be with you every day..." He is faithful to His promises. This reminds me of the apostles who throughout the night had worked tirelessly and had caught nothing. When dawn arrives Jesus appears to them and points the way saying: "Throw the net to the right." So they did, and found a lot of fish. After this period of darkness, Juanita, the Lord will show you the right way and share His new life with you and your community.
We have some great saints: SAINT RAFAEL GUÍZAR Y VALENCIA, Bishop of Veracruz. He had a wonderful missionary and pastoral spirit. He was born in Michoacan. Mexico and was the first bishop of Mexico to be canonized. I recommend that you read a little about his life and ask him to intercede for you so that you will know God’s will in this search. We also have the great news of the beatification of POPE JOHN PAUL II! And, you have the help of all the Mexican martyrs, in particular, the patron of migrants: SAINT TORIBIO ROMO. But, don’t forget the Mother of the Church, THE BLESSED VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE who will never abandon us. Call upon their help.
Sister Juanita, all I know is that something good will come out of your attempts to serve our Church. Remember the five loaves and two fish that the young boy provided? It took that little bit to satisfy a multitude and the Lord will know how to multiply your efforts.
I will fulfill your request for prayers.
