FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
FIAT
FIAT is Latin for faith. We are saved by our faith in Jesus so St.
Paul writes. Faith alone, however, without work is dead, so St.
James states in his letter (2, 14-24).
The other Friday, reflecting on St. James’ letter in his early morning mass, Pope Francis said, “"You may know all the commandments, all the prophesies, all the truths of the faith, but if this
isn't put into practice, is not translated into works, it serves nothing.” He continued, “There can be people who know very little or
nothing about doctrine, ‘but have lots of faith’ because rather
than embracing "abstract truths," they embrace the living Christ.”
He concluded, “A faith without works, a faith that doesn't get you
involved is words and nothing more than words."
That powerful statement should shake us up from timidity to
boldness in exercising our faith. A faith that is not heartfelt, that
is nothing more than verbal pronouncement and a mental adherence to doctrines, is hollow and empty. I think FIAT is an acronym. It means Faith In Action Today. We have to make our faith
tangible. It is not a theory but a practice. It has to move us to
action, not in the distant future, but today.

When I was a chaplain at San Francisco General Hospital, I
worked under the Volunteers Department. One of the volunteers
I met is Marlis Tanner, a Catholic, dubbed as the “Shampoo
Lady”. Already in her late 70’s at that time, once a week, she
would walk the floors of the hospital pushing a shopping cart
filled with curlers, hair dryers, hair spray, shavers, shaving cream,
scissors, towels, mirror and a smock. She would offer a haircut,
shave and shampoo. The patients were just too happy to receive
a free 20-minute grooming service plus chit-chat. For many of
them, Marlis is their only visitor.
Another volunteer whose name I never learned but whose services I will never forget is a guy. Like Marlis, he would make a
round of the hospital floors once a week. If Marlis worked on the
head, this guy worked on the feet. He gave foot massage – to the
dying. I saw him at work. He would walk quietly to the bed of the
patient, take a bedside chair and position it at the foot of the
bed, sit down, pulls out a Discman (yep!) from his pocket and sets
it on the bed and switches it on. A barely-audible, calming music
would drift from the machine. Then very slowly and carefully, he
peels blanket and bed sheet from the dying patient, uncovering
one foot. With ointment, he would rub the toes, the sole, the
ankle and the topside summoning warmth and color to those
cold and pale extremities. He’d do one foot, then the other. In
half hour, he is done. He would pull back sheet and blanket,
pocket the Discman, return chair to its place, give a light tap on
the massaged feet and is gone. Not a word is spoken. How does
that line go again, the one attributed to St. Francis? Preach always, use words, if needed.
***
We have sent by wire-transfer the $25K to the Diocese of Borongan for church-roof repair in one parish and rectoryreconstruction in another parish. However, the mission is not
over. To better show our solidarity with the people of Eastern
Samar, we plan to send volunteers to work side by side with the
people, listen to their stories, laugh at their jokes and be inspired
by their resiliency.

FIAT
FIAT es el latín de la fe. Somos salvos por la fe en Jesús para San
Pablo escribe. Sólo la fe, sin embargo, sin el trabajo está muerto,
así San Santiago afirma en su carta (2 , 14-24) .
El otro viernes, al reflexionar sobre la carta de Santiago en su misa
de la mañana, el Papa Francis dijo:" "Usted tal vez sabe todos los
mandamientos, todas las profecías, todas las verdades de la fe,
pero si esto no se pone en práctica, no se traduce en obras, no
sirve nada. "y añadió: "No puede haber personas que saben muy
poco o nada acerca de la doctrina", pero tienen un montón de fe"
porque en lugar de abrazar " verdades abstractas", se abrazan a
Cristo vivo. "y concluyó: "una fe sin obras, una fe que no te involucra son palabras y nada más que las palabras."
Esa declaración de gran alcance debería sacudirnos de la timidez a
la audacia en el ejercicio de nuestra fe. Una fe que no es sincera,
que no es más que el pronunciamiento verbal y una adhesión
mental para doctrinas , es hueco y vacío. Creo que FIAT es un
acrónimo . Significa Fe en Acción Today. Tenemos que hacer nuestra fe tangible. No es una teoría, sino una práctica . Se nos tiene
que pasar a la acción , no en un futuro lejano, pero hoy en día .

Cuando era capellán en el Hospital General de San Francisco, trabajé en el Departamento de Voluntarios. Uno de los voluntarios
que conocí es Marlis Tanner, un católico, apodado como el "
Shampoo Lady". Ya en sus finales de los años 70 en ese momento,
una vez a la semana, ella caminaba los pisos del hospital empujando un carrito lleno de tubos, secadoras de cabello, gel para el
pelo, máquinas de afeitar, crema de afeitar , tijeras, toallas,
espejo y un delantal. Ella ofrecia corte de pelo, afeitado y
champú. Los pacientes se alegraban de recibir un servicio de 20
minutos más el chit- chat. Para muchos de ellos, Marlis era su
único visitante.
Otro voluntario cuyo nombre nunca supe, pero cuyos servicios
nunca olvidaré es un muchacho. Como Marlis, él hacía una ronda
de los pisos del hospital una vez a la semana. Si Marlis trabajaba
en la cabeza, este hombre trabajaba en los pies. Él daba masaje
en los pies a los moribundos. Lo vi en el trabajo. Él caminaba tranquilamente a la cama del paciente, tomaba una silla y se ponia a
los pies de la cama, se sentaba, sacaba un Discman (¡sí) de su bolsillo y lo fija en la cama y lo enciendia. A, música relajante apenas
audible Luego muy despacio y con cuidado, quitaba la cobija y
sábana del paciente moribundo, el descubrimiento de un pie. Con
ungüento, frotaba los dedos de los pies, la suela, el tobillo y la
parte superior convocando calidez y color a esas extremidades
frías y pálidas. Hacía un pie, luego el otro. En media hora, terminaba. Les ponia su cobija y sabada de regreso, guardaba el Discman, regresaba la silla a su lugar, daba un ligero golpe en los pies
y se iba. No hablaba ni una palabra. ¿De qué manera vamos otra
vez , el que atribuye a San Francisco? Predicar siempre, usar
palabras, si es necesario.
***
Hemos enviado una transferencia de los $25,000 a la Diócesis de
Borongan para la reparación del techo de una iglesia y la rectoría
de otra parroquia. Sin embargo, la misión no ha terminado. Para
mostrar mejor nuestra solidaridad con el pueblo de Samar del
este, tenemos la intención de enviar voluntarios a trabajar con la
gente, escuchar sus historias, reirse de sus chistes y ser inspirados
por su capacidad de recuperación.
