Hermano Juancito: August 2014
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2014. Queens and horse-riding competitions. I am the type of person that savors solitude but also enjoys being active, especially in projects of service and in facilitation of learning. I also just enjoy being around people, especially kids. Thus there are some experiences here in Honduras that are somewhat hard for me. They stretch me, partly because they are very closely related to parts of the culture that I don’t understand – and at times don’t appreciate. Some children were dresse...

Hermano Juancito: March 2015
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. Palm Sunday started with rain in Plan Grande. A little chill in the air and rain made me wonder what the procession would be like in Dulce Nombre. But when I got there the rain was more like a light mist – and then stopped and started several times. We started the blessing of palms and the procession in a field near the water tank about a kilometer from the church about 9:30 am. In Dulce Nombre they usually have twelve kids in albs as part of the procession. The session ended at 4...

Hermano Juancito: April 2015
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Coals to Newcastle: corn to Honduras. Will someone explain this to me? Somehow this doesn’t seem right. Today, the US Department of Agriculture issued a press releas. E on an agreement between US and Honduran agricultural officials:. Hondurans eat white corn. I don’t know anyone who eats soybean meal, though it may be used in some commercial products. Corn drying in the sun. The corn and the soybean meal will be sold – but to whom? The press release claims that. The projects su...

Hermano Juancito: A month of many things
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-month-of-many-thingscoffee-yesterday.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. A month of many things. Yesterday I went to Santa Rosa and talked with the people at Beneficio Santa Rosa. The coffee from the cooperative will be sent about August 12. It has been a long and complicated process and I hope there are no problems. Most of the work will have to be done on the US side of the process. We’ll see if that works out. But there is concern about the upcoming harvest. Though we’ve had some rains, it has been hot and dry – which is not good for co...I am also...

Hermano Juancito: September 2014
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Confirmations about to begin. This afternoon Bishop Darwin Andino begins the confirmations in the parish of Dulce Nombre de María, in Dulce Nombre de Copán. In the morning, after a short time in Caritas, I went to Plan Grande to check out the house. They are finishing the plastering of the walls as well as the placement of electric sockets. View from the south. The young people were, for the most part, those who are going to be confirmed. Posted by John (Juancito) Donaghy.

Hermano Juancito: August 2015
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 22, 2015. At Masses in our parish there is often a list of Mass intentions. They include concerns about health of family members and about the death of members of the community. Recently I have noticed a good number of intentions asking prayers for family members are trying to reach the United States. Sometimes they are prayers of gratitude for having arrived there. I don’t know all that the Honduran government is doing but there is one that I have my doubts about. The government is prom...

Hermano Juancito: May 2015
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. My spirit was moved. I didn’t expect to be so moved. Last week, while I was in El Salvador, a seventeen year old died in our village. While Rigoberto was fishing, he fell into the water and drowned. Gloria, my neighbor and a leader in the church here, told me that he was her godson and that I would recognize him because he was one of the guys who played futbol. Soccer) in the small field across from her house. Tonight was the last night of the novenario. After the rosary was over ...

Hermano Juancito: Life goes on
http://hermanojuancito.blogspot.com/2015/07/life-goes-on.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Saturday, after a Parish Council meeting, I accompanied Padre German to two Masses. I have been accompanying him several times a month to Masses in various communities. The first on this past Saturday, in Quebraditas, was a Quinceañera. I was delightfully surprised at how the celebration was not to show off the young woman, but a real step to help her grow as a person of faith. The quinceañera and her parents. Matthew 25: 1-13. The text in Spanish can be found here. Celebration....
