Soy un misionero

claretiano,

discípulo del Señor

Jesús y devoto de

Nuestra Señora de

Guadalupe, que he

servido a la

Arquidiócesis de

Chicago y a la Diócesis de Lubbock en Texas. Yo

también soy un emigrante a este país y conozco las

angustias que ustedes nuestros hermanos padecen.

Mi padre Eutimio, mi mamá Concepción y cinco de mis

hermanos tuvimos que huir de la persecución religiosa en

México; y el 13 de enero de 1953 llegamos directamente

a Chicago. Llegamos sin que nos dieran una bienvenida,

en pleno invierno, sin ropa de invierno y ni siquiera con

la protección de refugiados huyendo persecución. El

ambiente social no permitía hablar otros idiomas en

público. No había comida hispana ni radio o televisión

en español.

Dentro de esa incertidumbre de emigrante, Dios me dio la

vocación religiosa para ser sacerdote; y luego fui

consagrado el primer obispo mexicano para la

arquidiócesis de Chicago, el 13 de diciembre de 1983.

Relato estas experiencias para que ustedes migrantes que

me leen sepan que los escucho y comprendo sus temores,

miedos y preocupaciones. Como servidor suyo y obispo

de la Iglesia, me dirijo a ustedes, mis hermanos

migrantes, que conviven con nosotros en nuestras

parroquias y vecindades, que viven con temor, miedo e

inseguridad; y quiero brindarles confianza.

Los obispos de México, quienes cuentan y hablan por 90

millones de católicos, y los obispos de Estados Unidos

que cuentan y hablan por más de 60 millones de

católicos, hemos emitido juntos una palabra de aliento y

esperanza a todos ustedes. Pueden confiar en su Iglesia y

sus pastores: diáconos, sacerdotes, párrocos y obispos a

ambos lados del Río Grande.

La carta de los obispos titulada Juntos en el camino de la

esperanza: ya no somos extranjeros dice: “Nosotros, los

Obispos católicos de los Estados Unidos y de México,

nos comprometemos a defender al migrante, y a

favorecer, entre nuestras dos naciones, la creación de

condiciones que les hagan posible a todos gozar del fruto

de su trabajo y en la vida en sus comunidades de origen,

si así lo desean”; y añade: “nos hacemos solidarios con

ustedes, hermanos y hermanas migrantes, y

continuaremos abogando en su favor para que haya

políticas de migración favorables y justas”.

Recuerden las palabras de María Santísima de Guadalupe

a san Juan Diego: “¿Acaso no estoy yo aquí, yo que soy

tu madre? No tengas miedo”. Como obispo y pastor de

ovejas del Señor, les digo que les acompaño paso a paso,

The responses to the

destruction of hurricanes and

earthquakes have been

heartening. That spirit of

caring was reflected in a

report I just read from a few

weeks ago. Fr. Jeff Johnson,

S.J., the president of Strake

Jesuit High School in

Houston, wrote this from the eye of Hurricane Harvey:

Words fail to describe what has been happening here in

Houston. The rain brought by Hurricane Harvey has not

stopped for four days, but our support and care for one

another seem limitless.

I have received many calls and emails of support from Jesuit

apostolates all over the country, and we deeply appreciate the

prayers and promises of help. Much help will be needed in

the weeks and months after this storm moves on. As of now,

our Strake Jesuit families have been reaching out to one

another and their neighbors as they can. Yesterday, one of

our freshmen, Declan Conner, along with some other Strake

Jesuit boys, was navigating his fishing boat through the

streets of his neighborhood rescuing people trapped in their

homes. You can see him in action on Twitter. He is a brave

young man and I cannot tell you how proud of him I am.

I have had faculty and staff members offer to leave their own

families and help in any way they can. As always, I am

amazed by our team – they continually prove to be “for

others” at their core.

Several of our families woke this morning to new orders to

evacuate their homes, but some of them are trapped. We are

offering shelter here at the school, where it is still dry and

safe, but getting around the city is a great challenge.

We are in the midst of this mess. It feels too early to reflect

on this situation or offer pats on the back, and I am afraid

there is more to come. Nonetheless, in my prayers, I am filled

with gratitude that people are so generous and concerned for

us. It means a lot to hear of the prayers of others from all

over the country. Our Jesuit community – composed of

Jesuits from Strake Jesuit and Cristo Rey Jesuit – has been

praying quite a bit and we have celebrated mass each day and

will continue to do so as a community of prayer. I have found

tremendous strength in this.

I was very moved to hear from Jesuit High School in New

Orleans. A few years ago, we were able to help them out in

the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. We are connected

by this bond of mutual support, and they are eager to

And please pray for our bishop and priests gathering for

our Annual Fall Conference this week. Know that you

will be in our prayers.
