Lorenzo Albacete, On the Meaning of Suffering
[Excerpt: From Lorenzo Albacete’s work, YouTube Video Podcast, by Father Rob Ketcham, for the parish of Christ the King Catholic Church on Long Island, in New York.]
A cry for salvation is the word the church uses to describe the healing that God’s trying to offer Humanity. Like the doctor, the Divine physician, the word salvation comes from the Latin word salus which means healing.
So Manor Abetti writes that while Utopias and Illusions and false theologies are spiritually Barren what is fruitful is when spiritual pain is directed to God as a prayer.
So, what is the fruit that it bears this crying out to God directing our spiritual pain to him as a prayer? We only rarely see physical healing of a person so it’s not so easy to answer.
Redemption is a mysterious thing and there are as many ways to Redemption as there are people, since we all suffer in our own ways. But the truth remains that we all suffer and that our suffering is the stuff that God uses to make us Saints.
Ephesians 3: 16-19
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

5 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’) – Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Road/EB Trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural net workers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons.
A GOOD DAY TO: Sit on a rock.
Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
