FROM THE OGLE OFFICE Dear Friends, The season of Thanksgiving evokes warm feelings of generosity, compassion and good times. Under such ideal circumstances it is relatively easy to give God thanks. But when we look around us we can see that neither the world nor our own lives are as ideal as we would like, and it may be difficult to thank God. This is where the virtue of faith is truly essential, not only as a basis for thanks, but for hope and even charity. Take for example the story behind the great Christian hymn “It Is Well with My Soul”, composed by Horatio Spafford and Philip Bliss. Here’s the Wikipedia summary: In 1871, Horatio Spafford, a prosperous lawyer and Presbyterian church elder and his wife, Anna, were living with their four young daughters in Chicago. That year, the Great Fire erupted in Chicago, devastating the city. In November 1873, Anna and the children set sail for Europe aboard the S.S. Ville du Havre with a group of friends. Horatio stayed behind, detained by business. On November 21, the oceanliner collided with a British vessel and sank within minutes. Anna was rescued, but all the children drowned. Horatio received the tragic news in a telegram from Anna that read: "Saved alone. What shall I do?" Horatio immediately left for England to bring his wife home. Crossing the Atlantic, the captain of the ship came to Spafford and said that they were approaching the area where the ship went down that had his wife and daughters on board. There Spafford wrote the lyrics of the hymn "It Is Well with My Soul," the music being added later by Philip Bliss. Back in Chicago, the Spaffords tried to mend their shattered lives. In 1878, a daughter, Bertha, was born and, two years later, a son Horatio, who died in an epidemic of scarlet fever. Horatio decided to seek solace in the holy city of Jerusalem. In 1881, the Spaffords, including baby Bertha and newborn Grace, set sail for Ottoman-Turkish Palestine. The Spaffords settled in Jerusalem and helped found a group called the American Colony. Colony members, later joined by Swedish Christians, engaged in philanthropic work among the people of Jerusalem regardless of their religious affiliation and without proselytizing motives— thereby gaining the trust of the local Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities. During and immediately after World War I, the American Colony played a critical role in supporting these communities through the great suffering and deprivations by running soup kitchens, hospitals, orphanages and other charitable ventures. The hymn was a remarkable expression of faith at life’s very lowest imaginable ebb. Not only did their faith persevere, but they sowed seeds of great peace and harmony in a still-troubled area. Spafford’s experience can remind us that as Christians we place our trust in no human or natural events, but rather in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ which shows us how deep is the Father’s love for us, in spite of any sufferings or failures. Our Thanksgiving is truly to the God who gives us goods beyond the limits of this life. Here are Spafford’s faith-filled lyrics:
Queridos amigos, La temporada de Acción de Gracias evoca cálidos sentimientos de generosidad, compasión y buenos tiempos. Bajo tales circunstancias ideales es relativamente fácil dar gracias a Dios. Pero cuando miramos a nuestro alrededor, podemos ver que ni el mundo ni nuestras propias vidas son tan ideales como nos gustaría, y puede ser difícil agradecer a Dios. Aquí es donde la virtud de la fe es verdaderamente esencial, no solo como base para el agradecimiento, sino también para la esperanza e incluso para la caridad. Tomemos, por ejemplo, la historia detrás del gran himno cristiano "Está bien con mi alma", compuesta por Horatio Spafford y Philip Bliss. Aquí está el resumen de Wikipedia: En 1871, Horatio Spafford, un próspero abogado y anciano presbiteriano de la iglesia y su esposa, Anna, vivían con sus cuatro hijas en Chicago. Ese año, el Gran Incendio estalló en Chicago, devastando la ciudad. En noviembre de 1873, Anna y los niños zarparon hacia Europa a bordo del S.S. Ville du Havre con un grupo de amigos. Horacio se quedó atrás, detenido por negocios. El 21 de noviembre, el oceanista chocó con un barco britá-nico y se hundió en minutos. Anna fue rescatada, pero todos los niños se ahogaron. Horacio recibió la noticia trágica en un telegrama de Anna que decía: "Salvado solo. ¿Qué debo hacer?" Horacio se fue inmediatamente a Inglaterra para traer a su esposa a casa. Cruzando el Atlántico, el capi-tán del barco se acercó a Spafford y dijo que se estaban acercando a la zona donde se encontraba el barco que tenía a su esposa e hijas a bordo. Allí Spafford escribió la letra del himno “Está bien con mi alma” o "It Is Well with My Soul". De vuelta en Chicago, los Spafford intentaron reparar sus vidas destrozadas. En 1878, nació una hija, Bertha, y, dos años después, un hijo, Hora-cio, que murió en una epidemia de escarlatina. Horacio decidió buscar consuelo en la ciudad santa de Jerusalén. En 1881, los Spafford, incluyendo a la bebé Bertha y la recién nacida Grace, zarparon hacia la Palestina turco-otomana. Los Spafford se establecie-ron en Jerusalén y ayudaron a fundar un grupo llamado la colonia estadounidense. Los miembros de la colonia, que luego se unieron a los cristia-nos suecos, se dedicaron al trabajo filantrópico entre los habitantes de Jerusalén, independientemente de su afiliación religiosa y sin hacer proseli-tismo, ganando así la confianza de las comunidades locales musulmanas, judías y cristianas. Durante e inmediatamente después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, la colonia estadounidense desempeñó un papel fundamental en el apoyo a estas comunidades a través del gran sufrimiento y las privaciones a través de comedores populares, hospitales, orfanatos y otras empresas de caridad.
CONTINUADO EN LA PROXIMA PAGINA…
When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life, Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.
God Love you, Msgr. Ogle

El himno fue una notable expresión de fe en el momento más bajo de la vida imaginable. Su fe no solo perseveró, sino que también sembraron semillas de gran paz y armonía en un área aún en problemas. La experiencia de Spafford puede recordarnos que como cristianos no confiamos en ningún acontecimiento humano o natural, sino en la sangre redentora de Jesucristo, que nos muestra cuán profundo es el amor del Padre por nosotros, a pesar de cualquier sufrimiento o fracaso. Nuestra acción de gracias es verdaderamente el Dios que nos da productos más allá de los límites de esta vida. Aquí están las letras de Spafford:
Dios los cuide, Mons. Sean G. Ogle
Cuando la paz como un río, siga mi camino, Cuando ruedan dolores como olas de mar; Cualquiera que sea mi suerte, me has enseñado a decir Está bien, está bien, con mi alma.
Está bien con mi alma, Está bien, está bien, con mi alma.
Aunque Satanás debería abofetear, aunque las pruebas deberían venir, Dejemos que este bendito control de seguridad Que Cristo ha conside-rado mi estado de impotencia. Y ha derramado su propia sangre por mi alma.
Para mí, sea Cristo, sea Cristo, por lo tanto, para vivir: Si Jordania sobre mí rodará, Ninguna punzada será mía, porque en la muerte como en la vida, Te susurrarás tu paz a mi alma. Pero Señor, es para ti, para tu venida, esperamos, El cielo, no la tumba, es nuestra meta; ¡Oh, triunfo del ángel! ¡Oh, voz del Señor! Bendita esperanza, bendito descanso de mi alma.
Y Señor, prisa el día en que la fe sea vista, Las nubes se hacen retroce-der como un pergamino; La trompeta resuena, y el Señor desciende. Aun así, está bien con mi alma.
