  • “Your Love and Your Grace. It Is All I Need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017
    “Your love and your grace. It is all I need.” Joan L. Roccasalvo, C.S.J. Week of November 16, 2017 How many times had they prayed in solitude and in public, “Give me your love and your grace. It is all I need?” A thousand times? In the end, they had no time to utter lengthy prayers, perhaps not even this final verse of St. Ignatius’ self-offering. Leisurely, they had prayed it for years. Now they were suddenly called on to live it in death. In the stealth of night, in those early hours of November 16th, 1989, six Jesuits were prodded from a deep sleep and dragged out of their beds to the grounds of their University of Central America. That moment had come when the prayer of self-giving would ask of them a final Yes. They were not entirely caught by surprise. Their residence had been visited a few days before. It was a warning as though to say: ‘Teach, but stay out of our business.’ Of all people, a young student of the Jesuit high school was enlisted to execute in cold blood six Jesuits, their cook and her daughter: Ignacio Ellacuría, the University Rector, an internationally known philosopher and tireless in his efforts to promote peace through his writings, conferences and travels abroad; . They also split open his head and spread his brains on the grass to make it clear why he had been killed. They certainly understood the symbolism of the head, the seat of the intellect. Segundo Montes. Head of the University of Central America sociology department, director of the new human rights institute, superior of the Jesuit community.

  • Empowering a New Generation
    | 1 Tuesday, January 29, 2019 Empowering a New Generation From Black Panther and convict to writer, poet, producer, college professor, Academy Award nominee, and youth advocate, Jamal Joseph’s life has taken a circuitous path to the present. His is a story of perennial social activism, advancing lessons from his Black Panther days to empower a new generation. Excuse Me, Young Brother, I Just Did In the late 1960s, Eddie Joseph was a high school honor student, slated to graduate early and begin college. That path took a detour. A long one. Impassioned to resolve the social, economic, and political wrongs he saw in his Bronx community and the nation, 15-year-old Eddie was drawn to the ideology of the Black Panther Party, which was just gaining a national presence. He remembers riding the subway to the Panther office in Harlem with two friends to offer his services, enraged by the recent assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was ready to fight, even kill if necessary, to serve the cause. At the Panther office, a leader called the earnest teen up front. As Joseph stood by his side, the leader pulled open a desk drawer and reached far into it. Joseph’s heart pounded. He was prepared to be handed a gun—the power for social change. Instead, he was handed a stack of books, such as The Autobiography of Malcolm X and The Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon’s 1961 work on the cultural foundations of social movements. Taken aback, Joseph said, “Excuse me, brother, I thought you were going to arm me.” The Panther’s reply: “Excuse me, young brother, I just did.” By 16, Eddie—now called Jamal—learned that the militant group the FBI declared to be “the greatest threat to America” was a multifaceted entity.

    Thirty Years Later: Remembering the U.S. Churchwomen in El Salvador and the United States Theresa Keeley U.S. Catholic Historian, Volume 38, Number 4, Fall 2020, pp. 119-144 (Article) Published by The Catholic University of America Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cht.2020.0025 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/772045 [ Access provided at 15 Jul 2021 20:16 GMT from University of Louisville ] Thirty Years Later: Remembering the U.S. Churchwomen in El Salvador and the United States Theresa Keeley* On December 2, 1980, Salvadoran National Guardsmen—armed by the U.S. government—raped and murdered four U.S. missionaries: Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clarke, Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel, and Maryknoll lay missioner Jean Donovan. Thirty years later, in late 2010, I traveled to El Salvador as part of a delegation to commemorate the anniver- sary of their deaths. Returning to the United States in early 2011, I attended a memorial for them in Washington, D.C., and expected to see continuity with the past: the promotion of the missionaries as a source of inspiration and expressions of anger at the U.S. role in El Salvador. The women continued to inspire, but the focus on the U.S. government was nearly absent. Instead, commemorative events in El Salvador evoked disappointment with the insti- tutional Catholic Church, and the Washington, D.C., remembrance stressed Maryknoll Sisters’ political influence. These differences underscored that remembering the U.S. churchwomen was not just about one memory, but dif- ferent kinds of memories for different communities.
