Axelrod comparte esta historia sobre

una madre magnífica: cuatro predicadores discutían sus traducciones favoritas de la Biblia. El primero de ellos dijo, "Me gusta la versión King James por su hermoso inglés." Otro dijo: "Me gusta la Nueva Versión de Estándar Americano porque es más cercano al Griego y Hebreo original." El tercero declaró, "me gusta la versión de la Buena Nueva porque es tan fácil de leer. El cuarto ministro guardó silencio por un momento y luego dijo: "Me gusta más la traducción de mi madre." Los otros tres hombres se sorprendieron. Dijeron: "No sabía que su madre hizo una traducción de la Biblia". "Sí," contestó. "Ella la tradujo en la vida diaria, y es la traducción más bella y convincente que he visto." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Durante la Guerra Civil un Comandante Confederado con el nombre de Horace Harmon Lurton fue tomado prisionero por las fuerzas de Unión. En la cárcel, el Comandante Lurton desarrolló tuberculosis. Su madre vino a visitarlo y se alarmó por su condición. Ella sabía que su hijo iba a morir si se quedaba tras las rejas. Por lo que la Sra. Lurton viajó a Washington a pedir misericordia de la única persona quien pensó podría ayudarla, el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln fue tan conmovido por la preocupación de la madre, que se sentó y escribió una nota a la Unión de las fuerzas a cargo de la prisión de su hijo. Dijo simplemente, "dejen que el niño vuelva a casa con su madre. A. Lincoln." Horace Harmon Lurton fue liberado de prisión. Se recuperó de su tuberculosis y pasó a convertirse en un distinguido abogado y magistrado de la Corte Suprema de su estado. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Puede ser mayor ahora, pero para su madre, todavía es justo que lo corrija. Cuando su localizador sonó durante una reunión del Consejo, el Jefe de policía de Knoxville, Tennessee Phil Keith fue sorprendido al ver que la llamada era de su madre. Preocupado, corrió hacia la mesa y le llamó por teléfono. "Phil Keith, está mascando goma?" preguntó su madre, quien había estado observando la sesión del Consejo de TV por cable. "Sí, señora," respondió el Jefe Keith. "Bueno, se ve horrible," dijo su madre. "Escúpalo hacia fuera." Keith obedientemente tiró la goma y regresó a su reunión. ------------------------------------------------------------------Angie, de 8 años de edad, escribió: “Querida Madre, voy a hacer una gran cena para usted en el Día de la Madre. Va a ser una sorpresa. P.S.: Espero que te guste la pizza y las palomitas de maíz. " ------------------------------------------------------------------Feliz Día de la Madre a todas las madres. Gracias por su amor y sacrificios.

Nota de nuestro pastor:

Axelrod shares this story about a magnificent mom: Four preachers were discussing their favorite translations of the Bible. The first one said, "I like the King James Version because of its beautiful English."

Another said, "I like the New American Standard version because it is closer to the original Greek and Hebrew." The third one declared, "I like the Good News version because it's so easy to read. The fourth minister was silent for a moment then said, "I like my mother's translation best." The other three men were surprised. They said, "I didn't know your mother made a translation of the Bible." "Yes," he replied. "She translated it into everyday life. And it was the most beautiful and convincing translation I ever saw." ------------------------------------------------------------------- During the Civil War a Confederate Major by the name of Horace Harmon Lurton was taken prisoner by the Union forces. In prison, Major Lurton developed tuberculosis. His mother came to visit him and was alarmed by his condition. She knew her son would die if he stayed behind bars. So Mrs. Lurton travelled to Washington to beg mercy from the only person she thought could help her, the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was so moved by this mother's concern that he sat down and wrote a note to the Union forces in charge of her son's prison. It said simply, "Let the boy go home with his mother. A. Lincoln." Horace Harmon Lurton was released from prison. He recovered from his tuberculosis and went on become a distinguished lawyer and the chief justice of the Supreme Court of his state. ------------------------------------------------------------------- You may be grown-up now, but to your mother, you are still fair game for correction. When his pager went off during a council meeting, Knoxville, Tenn. Police Chief Phil Keith was startled to see that the call was from his mother. Concerned, he rushed to the press table and phoned her. "Phil Keith, are you chewing gum?" asked his mom, who had been watching the council meeting on cable TV. "Yes, ma'am," answered Chief Keith. “Well, it looks awful," his mother said. "Spit it out." Keith dutifully removed the gum and went back to his meeting. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Angie, 8 year old, wrote: “Dear Mother, I’m going to make a great dinner for you on Mother’s Day. It’s going to be a surprise. P.S.I hope you like pizza & popcorn.” ---------------------------------------------------------------- Happy mother’s day to all the mothers. Thanks for your love and sacrifices.

At the Vatican on May 6, 2017, Pope Francis and the president of

Switzerland, Doris Leuthard, held a cordial discussion on such subjects as: the reception of migrants, youth employment, terrorism, environmental protection and the fate of Europe. Their meeting coincided with the swearing-in of 40 new soldiers to the Pontifical Swiss Guard. They are the first group of recruits to go through the new model of training, which includes a month of instruction at the famous Swiss Guard’s school at Isone, Switzerland, before beginning their courses at the Vatican. Each year on May 6th new recruits are sworn in at an impressive, and ancient ceremony in the courtyard of the Apostolic Palace. Before the ceremony Francis met with the Guard, the new recruits and their families and friends. He said that the presence of so many visitors from Switzerland, “manifests the affection of Swiss Catholics for the Holy See, Christian education, and the good example through which the parents have transmitted to their children the faith, the value of pertaining to the Christian community, and the significance of ecclesial service.” Pope Francis recalled that the ceremony takes place on the anniversary of the Sack of Rome, when 147 Swiss Guards gave their lives to defend the pope. He told the Guard that today they “are not called to this heroic offering of their physical life, but rather to another sacrifice no less arduous: to serve… the power of the faith. This is an effective barrier to resist the various forces and powers of this world, and above all … the father of lies, who goes about like a lion, seeking someone to devour.” Pope Francis emphasized the importance of spiritual growth for the new Guards during their time in Rome. He invited them to support one another in leading an exemplary Christian life, and to consider themselves as “missionary disciples committed to bearing witness to the Gospel” both in their work and in their free time in Rome. Pope Francis has wanted the Swiss Guard to be less rigid in their rules, even “less military”. Back in December, 2014, he made the decision to dismiss Daniel Anrig the commandant of the Guard, and it was widely rumored that he found the commander’s manner overly strict and “Teutonic”. Francis was appalled one time when he emerged from his suite in the morning and found that a Swiss Guardsman had been standing guard all night. “Sit down,” He told the young guardsman, but the soldier said: “I can’t, it’s against orders.” The Pope replied: “I give the orders around here,” and promptly went to buy a cappuccino for the exhausted soldier. Protocol has always demanded that pontiffs should treat the Swiss Guardsmen with aloofness, and Francis is breaking with tradition, talking with and shaking hands with the guardsmen. The Pope dislikes security in general. To be continued …Sources: news.va, telegraph.co.uk
