2005 02 17 - A trip to New
Mexico
On the 17 of February I took a plane to New Mexico. No more than a week and a half ago Marcela Melendez, former president of Hispanics for Life, invited me to her son's Birthday party. I was interested in assisting since there are 2 Unborn Jesus Adoration groups. Manuel Rodriguez called me about 3 years ago to establish the first Unborn Jesus Adoration group outside California. The group meets on Sundays at Our Lady of Belen in Belen, New Mexico, not too far away from Albuquerque. I met Marcela several years ago. Although originally from New Mexico, she lived in Los Angeles. She is a confident leader with a charismatic personality. I admire her way of searching the Pro-life leaders for advice and guidance. Also, her way on encouraging people on doing the right thing. As I contemplate the landscape formations from the airplane window, I wonder what does the Lord has prepared for me this weekend at New Mexico. Manuel picked me up at the Albuquerque airport. He drove me to Marcela's house. I was greatened by her and her husband Eddie. They kindly officered me a place in their country house.
There
was
a
busy
atmosphere
at
the
Melendez
house.
There
were
making
preparations
for
a
Spanish
party
called
"La
Matanza"
(the
slaughter).
The
tradition
goes
back
to
ancient
Spain.
Where
Celtic
tribes
slaughtered
a
pig
in
community
and
fed
the
whole
clan.
During
the
Islamic
invasion
of
Spain,
the
Catholic
Celts
of
Estremadura
organized
Matanzas
in
defiance
of
Islamic
kosher
rules
of
pig
abstinence.
This
helped
keep
their
identity
while
under
occupation.
During
the
Spanish
colonization
of
America,
the
people
of
Estremadura
colonized
New
Mexico.
Cities
and
towns
in
New
Mexico
were
named
after
cities
and
towns
from
Estremadura.
Belen,
Magdalena,
Los
Trujillos
and
even Albuquerque are just some examples.
That
weekend
I
was
able
to
pray
with
the
2
Unborn
Jesus
prayer
groups
at
our
Lady
of
Belen.
Manuel
Rodriguez
called
me
about
3
years
ago
to
establish the first Unborn Jesus Adoration group outside California.
