2015 Archbishop’s Charity and Development Drive Begins
As we begin the year 2015, we have so much to reflect upon and to be grateful for. We are called upon
by God to be good stewards of the gifts He has given us by placing those gifts at His service. In the coming days, many of you will receive a letter from Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski regarding the 2015 Archbishop’s Charity and Development Drive (ABCD). Please read it and prayerfully consider supporting the
Archdiocese of Miami and its many life-changing ministries.
For more than fifty years, the Archdiocese of Miami has been building and sustaining the Catholic community in South Florida. That has been made possible because of people like you. Since its inception,
the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD) has always been a conduit to carrying out
God’s Will. The good works that ABCD makes possible are a testimony to our faith, a faith that is very
much alive and is a part of each and every one of us.
Let us join together to be One in Faith, One in Hope, One in Charity. Thank you for your support of ABCD.

Comienza la Campaña de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo del 2015
Al comenzar el ano 2015, tenemos mucho sobre lo cual reflexionar y por lo cual estar agradecidos. Hemos sido
llamados por Dios a ser buenos administradores de los dones que Él nos ha dado, empleando esos dones
a Su servicio. Én los proximos días, muchos de ustedes recibiran una carta del Arzobispo Thomas G.
Wenski con respecto a la Campana de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD) del 2015. Por favor,
leanla y, en oracion, consideren el dar su apoyo a la Arquidiocesis de Miami y a los ministerios que cambian tantas vidas.
Durante mas de cincuenta anos, la Arquidiocesis de Miami ha estado edificando y sosteniendo a la comunidad catolica en el Sur de La Florida. Ésto ha sido posible gracias a personas como ustedes. Desde su
creacion, la Campana de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD) siempre ha sido un conducto para
llevar a cabo la voluntad de Dios. Las buenas obras que el ABCD hace posible, son un testimonio de nuestra Fe, una Fe que esta muy viva y es una parte de todos y cada uno de nosotros.
Mantengamonos Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Ésperanza y Unidos en la Caridad.
Muchas gracias por su apoyo al ABCD.
“The first day of the year is the feast day of the Mother of God, followed by the Epiphany, which recalls the visit of the Magi. The
evangelist Matthew writes, 'And when they were come into the
house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell
down, and worshipped him'. It was the Mother who, after having
generated Him, who presents the Son to the world. She gives us Jesus, she shows Jesus to us”. With these words Pope Francis began
the first catechesis of the Wednesday morning general audiences of
2015, which he dedicated to the figure of the mother, both in the
family and in the Christian community.
“Every human being owes his or her life to a mother, and almost
always owes much of his or her subsequent existence, human and
spiritual formation, to her”, affirmed the Pope. “However, although
the mother is highly exalted from a symbolic point of view, she is
listened to and helped very little in daily life, and her central role in
society is not given much consideration. On the contrary, often the
willingness of mothers to sacrifice themselves for their children is
exploited in order to save on social expenditure”.
Even in the Christian community, the mother is not always given due
consideration. “Yet at the centre of the life of the Church there is the
Mother of Jesus. … It is necessary to better understand their daily
struggle to be efficient at work and attentive and affectionate at
home; we must better understand what they aspire to in order to express the best and most authentic results of their emancipation”.
Mothers are “the strongest antidote to individualism. … They are
those who most hate war, which kills their children. They bear witness to the beauty of life. Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero said
that mothers live a 'maternal martyrdom'. In his homily at the funeral
of a priest killed by death squads, he said, echoing Vatican Council
II, 'We must all be willing to die for our faith, even if the Lord does
not grant us this honour... Giving life does not only mean being
killed; giving life, having the spirit of martyrdom, is giving in duty,
in silence, in prayer, in the honest fulfilment of one's duty; in that
silence of everyday life, giving life a little at a time. Yes, as it is given by a mother, who without fear, with the simplicity of maternal
martyrdom, conceives a child in her womb, gives him life, nurses
him, nurtures him and cares for him with affection. It is giving life. It
is martyrdom'. Yes, being a mother does not mean merely bringing a
child into the world, but it is also a choice of life, the decision to give
life”.

“A society without mothers would be an inhuman society, as mothers
always know how to show tenderness, devotion and moral strength,
even in the moments of greatest difficulty. Mothers often also transmit the deepest sense of religious practice. …It is a message that
mothers who believe know how to transmit without much explanation; this arrives later, but the seed of faith is planted in those first
precious moments. Without mothers … faith would lose a good part
of its simple, profound warmth”.
La Catedral Santa Maria les invita a una:
“And the Church is a mother”, exclaimed the Pope. “We are not orphans; we are children, we have a mother – the Virgin, the mother
Church and our mother. We are not orphans, we are children of the
Church, we are the children of Mary and of our mother. Thank you,
dear mothers, for what you are in the family and for what you give to
the Church and to the world. And to you, our beloved Church, thank
you for being a mother. And to you, Mary, mother of God, thank you
for presenting us to Jesus”.
