En su casa, Obispo Medardo Gomez, habla de plantas, teologia de la vida, y los necesitados, preparando para la celebracion manana. Bishop Gomez uses the term "necesitados" for those who need God's presence and love, preferring it to "rich or poor," because many times it's those surrounded with riches, who are the most needy. La Cruz Subversiva, that went to prison for the sins of the state, gets cleaned up in preparation for the celebration. 2009.

the love the community has for Medardo, for walking with
them.
All that happens during times of celebration when living
in marginal communities.
From contaminated water to destroyed houses.
crisis integral, pastoral integral, no hay una barco de

From the Notebook:
Medardo says, introducing me to
his community, that I was converted by the Mexicans.
His wife, Abelina, from Mexico. A pastor. She cooks Mexican and El
Salvadoran.
Pastora Abelina pastors Fe y Esperanza, a refugee community of
Ex-combatientes,
from the Guerra Civil.
In 2002, Blue Begonia Press had
just published
Seeking Light in Each Dark Room/Buscando Luz en Cada Cuarto
Oscuro.
We were the abrecaminos, and we were on the move.
Carole Folsom-Hill
had begun working with Holden Village to create
a Hispanic Community Retreat
Week at the former copper mine in the mountains
to bring the immigrant
community together from all parts of the state,
in all of its various forms. In
Yakima, we were immigrant Mexicano, campesino.
We came from Michoacán, Jalisco,
Oaxaca.
Getting on the boat at Lake
Chelan, the Lady of the Lake,
I met Medardo—el Obispo de la Paz—Obispo Medardo
Gómez.
We were looking at photos. In those days, we still had pictures printed,
shiny in our hands. “Come to El Salvador and you’ll write the best poems of
your life,”
Medardo says.
That’s all it took.
The war, that recent. The angry Salvadoran
introducing me to Jon Sobrino.
Take off your rings willingly so we don’t have to
cut your fingers off.
The murdered vigilante.
The trips back and forth. Medardo. Habitat. Mary
Campbell. The Subversive Cross.
Holden Village. Repeated trips. Michoacán. La
Cuestita. El Rancho.
Dizziness. Vertigo. Between the balance and the
fall. Catch of the breath.
