Where is Telemachus when you need him??
Basically our Hero yells ¨Stop Stop enough already¨ Though he is martyred with an immediate brutish death, society is nearly instantly transformed and the barbaric actions that he is protesting are ended. Are there areas of our lives that we need to speak up and against now?? I think so
Various Versions of what Saint Telemachus accomplished
Telemachus was a brave, elderly monk who went to the Roman Colosseum in 404 A.D. to observe the gladiatorial Games in its splendor. Upon witnessing the gruesome spectacle of men slaughtering other men for the pleasure of the crowd, Telemachus scaled over the wall onto the Colosseum floor to stand in between two combatants. He shouted three times: “In the name of Christ, forbear!” The gladiators separated but the crowd stood up and stoned Telemachus to death because he had interrupted their entertainment for the afternoon.
Once they recognized what they had done to the elderly man, the crowd became quiet and slowly filed out of the stadium in silence.
When the good emperor Honorius heard of the heroism of Telemachus, he put an end to the gladiatorial games forever and Telemachus was designated as a saint for his heroic stance for humanity and truth.
Various Versions of what Saint Telemachus accomplished
¨^The Story As Often Told
Here is a brief summary of the story as it is usually told:
In the fourth century a little monk named Telemachus from Asia (modern day Turkey comprises the Roman province of Asia; or perhaps Asia Minor is meant), was led by an inner voice to go to Rome without knowing why. He followed the crowds to the Coliseum. Two gladiators were fighting, and Telemachus tried to get between them to stop them, shouting three times, "In the name of Christ, forbear!" Telemachus was killed by being run through with the sword of one of the gladiators. When the crowd saw the little monk lying dead in a pool of blood, they fell silent, leaving the stadium, one by one. Because of Telemachus' death, three days later, the Emperor by decree ended the Games.

Back to Guate...
Arrived at Center and was pleasantly surprised that Anahi is almost walking!! The reality is more that she can balance herself in an upright position if she has something to hold onto. In April her achilles tendons were operated making walking an eventual possibility. Ingrid was aloof with my arrival, but cheered up and was quite happy when I paid attention to her.
Bless and protect each special kid here and elsewhere.

Cadanino Founder Delayed in States
Just a note to let you know that I am staying a few extra days in the USA as my Mother is in failing health.
"Mom is resting comfortably in my Brother's Speculator home. She travelled to New York City and back in the past two weeks. She had hoped to stay in her apartment , but was hospitalized shortly after arriving by ambulance in NY. After a week in the hospital they recommended that she go to Hospice care and we decided that Speculator would be a better place to receive this type of care.

The combination of two five hour travel ordeals, a week in the hospital and difficulty with pain management has left her weakened and very disoriented. Thankfully the pain has been alleviated. It appears that her decline continues at a fairly rapid pace and that she will soon go to be with the Lord. Everybody is being really terrific and pitching in to help. "
