Dot Not Despair
By
Roger Behra
Jenny, a six-grade girl came home from school one day recently, and her mother noticed that her daughter seemed depressed and full of despair. After talking to her daughter, Mom got to the bottom of Jenny’s situation.
That day in social studies class the topic was world events. Jenny’s teacher got her students to have a much clearer idea of what was going on in America and the third world countries. Jenny became more and more depressed as the class progressed. Learning about young people her age in very depressed as the class progressed. Learning about young people her age in very poor countries who had few or no opportunities and very little food was very depressing for her. Jenny was saddened to learn that many leaders do not really care about their own people, and that other countries were not very caring also. The thought of so many young people her age were dying from lack of food and medical care was heavy on her mind.
Jenny´s mother help somewhat to relieve her daughter’s mental state. She reminded Jenny that God is always there to help her and everyone at all times and that He is in control of everything that happens for good reasons not understand able always by us. Her mother also gave her the words of a song by David Hass and asked her to read them when she was depressed and had feelings of despair. The song words are as follows:
JESUS CARES
I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear my voice, I claim you as my choice,
Be still and know I am here.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night I will be your light,
Come and rest in me.
I am strength for all the despairing,
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free,
And all will know my name.
I am the word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name, embracing all your pain,
Stand up now, walk, and live.
Don´t be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come follow me, I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine.

Some Very Real Events, By Roger Behra

Some Very Real Events
By
Roger Behra
The Coast to Coast radio program hosted by George Nory is not always interesting on a daily basis, but on April 8, 2010, it was over the top interesting. George’s guest was Dr. Jeffery Long, M.D. who got involved in the question, “What happens when we die?” That is the 64 million dollar question. The 120 minute program passed very quickly and was exceedingly informative.
The program was centered around 4 real events as follows:
1. The happy near-death experience (NDE).
2. The fearsome near-death experience (FNDE).
3. The before-death experience (BDE).
4. The after-death experience (ADE).
Millions of people have over the centuries have experienced one or more of these events, so Dr. Long involved himself in the scientific research and validity of these events. His research conclusions verify the actuality and validity of these events, and the revelations discussed during the program were very informative and in many cases quite startling.
During his research he interviewed hundreds of experiences who had one or more of the four events. The most common event is the happy NDE, but he found out there definitely are fearsome NDEs also. Along with validating the NDE Dr. Long verified that all NDEs transform lives in a very positive way regardless of the kind of NDE. The NDE can last for only a few minutes or a very long time. The longer the experience the more is involved in the story being told. The NDE verifies that there is and afterlife, a Supreme Being, a life review, deceased relatives and friends, and a sample of what heaven is like. The fearsome near-death experience reveals the existence of a dark place where no one wants to be.
Dr. Long also interviewed patients who were actually in the dying process. They reported to him the visions of deceased relatives who appeared to them and were going to help them in the transition to the afterlife.
Dr. Long also interviewed surviving family members who had after-death experiences that included the family member who had recently died. There are 12 known types of ADEs. An ADE can happen very soon or years later and at anytime during the day or night.
Dr. Long was very careful to make sure that the NDE was not a product of drugs or hallucination. That was very important because most doctors believe that the NDE is caused by drugs or hallucinations as a result of oxygen deprivation.
The lasting results of Dr. Long’s research are the fact that NDEs are real, that they are comforting, and that they are transformative. His revelation about before death visions of the dying and after-death experiences of the surviving relative family members was also very comforting. The fact that all NDEs help to transform lives in a very positive way is a lasting tribute to the NDE here on earth, as well as enlightening for all of us who have to sooner or later become involved in the dying process itself.

When Trust Is Lost, By Roger Behra

When Trust Is Lost
By
Roger Behra
Everyday now something is revealed in the various media that greatly lessens trust and faith in human beings. The evil behavior being revealed seems to be not only more frequent but more varied and repulsive. Many of the people involved are people in trusted positions and occupations that require the utmost trust and faith in the American culture. During the past twenty-five years especially the American culture has steadily declined to an alarming level because of the frequency and variation in the types of crime. There seems to be no depth to America’s cultural decline.
Along with ordinary citizens more highly trusted citizens are being exposed as participants in evil activities that are quite reprehensible. The trusted citizens include politicians, Catholic priest, Protestant ministers, public school teachers, and police officers to name a few types. It is so sad deplorable to witness many educated and trusted individuals ruin their careers, their lives, and drag America’s culture to low depths while they do so. It is bad enough when ordinary citizens do so.
In the recent past two state governors had to resign in political and personal disgrace because of behavior unbecoming of their office. Almost daily in the print media, on radio, and during television broadcast Catholic priest in America and other parts of the world are being accused of inappropriate behavior and sexual contact with teenage boys and girls. Teacher-student sex in more and more common and in the news often. Police officers are using their position and opportunity to take advantage of women drivers and get involved in sexual activities, and in some cases rape at the point of a gun.
On Saturday, April 3, 2010, an Orange County police was involved in a carjacking, kid napping, and the brutal rape of a restaurant waitress at the point of a gun. His officer friend witnessed the carjacking and later came to pick up the officer after the rape. The officer who did the rape was connected to it, because in haste to leave the women’s car with his officer friend he left his gun in the woman´s car. Two days later both officers were arrested and are now charged with multiple offenses. The 30-year officers have ruined their careers and lives.
In New Jersey several ordinary citizens were involved in a despicable crime involving the gang rape of a 7-year-old girl while the girl’s 15-year-old sister watched and took money fort it. A 20-year-old man has already been arrested.
When upright people lose trust and faith in those of positions of trust and faith, it becomes a very disheartening situation for the people and the culture. That is happening very frequently throughout American culture nowadays. The down hill slide has reached alarming depths with no end in view.

Posible Canto de Susan Boyle durante Visita del Papa Benedicto XVI a Reyna Isabel II de Inglaterra
Posible Canto de Susan Boyle durante Visita del Papa Benedicto XVI a Reyna Isabel II de Inglaterra
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Quién ha olvidado a Susan Boyle, desde aquella presentación “I have a dream” (Soñé un sueño), y que se ha dado a conocer en Youtube y en el Programa Británico: Britain´s got Talent (Gran Bretaña tiene Talento), y a quien Tópicos Culturales le dedicó varios escritos. [1]
En Septiembre del 16 al 17, 2010, Susan Boyle podría cantar durante la visita de su Santidad el Papa Benedicto XVI a la Reyna Isabel II de Inglaterra, durante el mes de Septiembre del presente año, en el Palacio de Holyrood, Edimburgo (Escocia). Dicha visita del Papa Benedicto XVI por el Reino Unido, llenará de expectativas positivas y de esperanza para la Paz y el Bien en un mundo azotado por la violencia bélica, por ejemplo en el Medio Oriente, y por la crisis económica mundial, en donde sufren los Pobres del Mundo, además de los fenómenos naturales. [2]
En este escenario mencionado, la posibilidad del talento del canto de Susan Boyle, quien ha vendido más de un millón de copias desde su lanzamiento el pasado 23 de noviembre de 2009, de su álbum debut de la Boyle "I dreamed a dream" ("Soñé un sueño"), daría un momento de especial armonía y alegría para el mundo entero.

Tópicos Culturales ARCD Editor desea que ahora y siempre Dios colme de bendiciones a todas las Madres que viven y las que ya pasaron a mejor vida, recordando la Oración a la Virgen María: MAGNÍFICAT.

Virgen María: MAGNIFICAT
MAGNIFICAT
(Lc 1, 46-55)
(Lc 1, 46-55)
Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor, se alegra mi espíritu en Dios, mi salvador; porque ha mirado la humillación de su esclava.
Desde ahora me felicitarán todas las generaciones, porque el Poderoso ha hecho obras grandes por mí: su nombre es santo, y su misericordia llega a sus fieles de generación en generación.
El hace proezas con su brazo: dispersa a los soberbios de corazón, derriba del trono a los poderosos y enaltece a los humildes, a los hambrientos los colma de bienes y a los ricos los despide vacíos.
Auxilia a Israel, su siervo, acordándose de la misericordia -como lo había prometido a nuestros padres- en favor de Abrahán y su descendencia por siempre. Gloria al Padre.

Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
En este mes de la Inmaculada Virgen María, el día primero de Mayo se celebra a San José Obrero, fiesta instituida por el Papa Pío XII el 1 de mayo de 1955. San José fue descendiente de Reyes entre ellos, el Rey David. Fue esposo de María, trabajador carpintero y constructor, lleno de Humildad, considerado como el Santo del Silencio y Justo de Nazaret, y patrono de todos los seminaristas de todas las órdenes católicas. Fue también Peregrino desde Israel hasta Egipto; y padre de Jesús, y una referencia bíblica dice: "¿Acaso no es éste el hijo de José, el carpintero?"
Felicitaciones a los que llevan el nombre de José en honor al Santo del Silencio y Justo de Nazaret.
