Gomez, D.Min. Date completed: July 1988 Problem Most of the people living in Puerto Rico claim or are claimed to be Catholics by the Catholic leadership of the Island. Most of them have only a form of religion, having lost sight of the power of Christ's religion. They need to be led back to Christ, even though they are uncon­ scious of their situation or of their spiritual need.

When I was a child and living in Puerto Rico, a long time ago that is, there were acerola bushes everywhere. You could find them on the side of the road, by pastures, en el monte, by the beach, and in peoples yards. They are called West Indian Cherries in English. Acerolas are sweet and tart as well. Acerola is a large, relatively fast growing bushy shrub or small tree (to 15 feet). Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, easily bruised. The pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a delicate flavor and apple notes. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up to 4,000 mg per 100 g fresh weight, but typically around 1,500 mg C. Green fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits. Fruits develop to maturity in less than 25 days. Seeds typically three with fluted wings, forming a triangle. Many aspects of seed viability have not been studied.

  • Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 Election of Pope St. John Paul II
    Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 election of Pope St. John Paul II October 16, 1978: The first balcony appearance of newly-elected Pope John Paul II (CNS File Photo) Where were you on October 16, 1978? I was between classes at college in Philadelphia when word came through the hallways that white smoke had been seen coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. After three days of waiting, we finally had a new pope! I rushed to turn on my tiny black and white TV, and watched as the crowds grew in St. Peter’s Square while commentators speculated as to which Italian cardinal might become the 264th leader of the Roman Catholic Church. I will never forget the announcement in Latin that Cardinal Karol Jozef Wojtyla (1920-2005), at age 58, had been elected as the 263rd successor of St. Peter the Apostle.
