What's best for skin closure at C-Section? Staples or suture? This debate has raged for over 20 years. Past data has shown greater odds of wound complications with metal staples compared to suture. But new a meta-analysis from June 2025 is challenging the prior results. In this episode, we will explore the data from 2010 to present day. PLUS, we will summarize a separate meta-analysis examining if wound dressing removal is tied to any wound complication. This was just published July 15, 2025 in the “Pink” journal.

«Quince días de furioso temporal.... »Llueve.... el aguacero arrecia y golpea con furia los techos de zinc. »Se han paralizado todos los trabajos de la hacienda. Los hombres dormitan el día entero acurrucados en sus camastros, o se agrupan en los corredores, muy encogidos, envueltos en sus gangoches y cobijas, y conversan.... »—Esto va pa’ largo, ¿saben? Y los ríos se van a botar ajuera... »Jacinto se entretiene contando cuentos, que arregla a su manera.... Los muchachos... pasan las horas pendientes de los labios de Jacinto que, acurrucado sobre un banco, arrollado hasta las orejas en su cobija colorada... va hilvanando sus fantasías... »—¿Por ónde iba? Ah, sí, güeno... Entonces Tatica Dios le dijo a su pariente: “Así es que ya sabés, Nué: lloverá cuarenta mil días y cuarenta mil noches, contadas con la mano. Te hacés el Arca y te me metés allí con sólo una pareja’e cada animal. ¡Cuidao con la cuenta!”... Y el hombre Güeno y Justo contrató a todos los carpinteros de la vecindá y’hicieron un Arca’e puro cedro amargo, que era como un barco grandísimo, como todas estas casas juntas. Y ya comenzaron a llegar, una tras de la otra, todas las parejas de animales habidos y por haber: hormiguitas, caballos, tigres, liones, elefantes.... »—Yo que Nué hubiera dejao a los [insetos] malos por fuera, pa que se’hogaran —apunta uno de los oyentes. »—¡Ahí sí que no! Esos jueron los primeros que entraron. El Hombre Güeno y Justo no podía matar a sus nigüitas, ni sus piojitos, ni sus pulguitas, ni sus alepaticos... »Ríe el auditorio y se rascan algunos como si estuvieran tirados en sus camastros soportando, como siempre, a los [insectos] que el Hombre Bueno y Justo se empeñó en salvar.»1 «Y en ese tono continúa la historia en labios de Jacinto, uno de los hermanos marimberos, que ameniza las largas horas de interminable temporal —comenta el doctor Víctor Manuel Arroyo en su prólogo a Gentes y gentecillas, que es la segunda novela del popular autor costarricense Carlos Luis Fallas—. Dios pierde en el relato la terrible imagen de juez inmisericorde que algunos chantajistas han forjado, para humanizarse, usando el habla popular y haciendo buenos chistes. Es un Dios que está más cerca de nosotros, indudablemente.»2 El doctor Arroyo tiene toda la razón. En su relato Carlos Luis Fallas humaniza a Dios en el contexto más difícil: el diluvio con el que castiga por su impiedad a la humanidad entera. Pero conste que ese mismo Dios, que prometió no volver a castigarnos con un diluvio,3 se humanizó Él mismo más de dos mil años después.4 Al hacerse hombre nos mostró que quiere estar más cerca de nosotros, y al morir en la cruz por nuestra impiedad nos mostró que no vino como Juez sin misericordia sino como Salvador compasivo.5 Y para completar, nos dejó constancia de todo esto en el Nuevo Testamento, que se escribió en el habla popular de aquel entonces.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Sunday, the 13th, when we remember the third apparition of Fatima, the Gospel of Luke (St. Luke 10:25-37) tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, a powerful lesson about mercy toward those in need.St. Augustine identifies the good Samaritan with our Lord, and the wounded man with Adam, the symbol of all fallen mankind.Christ Jesus, seeing man's wounds and moved by compassion and piety, comes down to earth to cure man's wounds, making them his own (Is 53:4; Mt 8:17; 1 Pet 2:24; 1 Jn 3:5).St. John explained that God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him, love one another, and see our sins expiated.This parable leaves no doubt about who our neighbor is (anyone who needs our help) and how we should love them, not by having the right feelings, but by taking pity, being compassionate, and serving their spiritual or corporal needs.Christians should never distance themselves from others' needs. One way to express love for one's neighbor is to perform the "works of mercy.”There are fourteen such works, seven spiritual and seven corporal.• To convert the sinner;• To instruct the ignorant;• To counsel the doubtful;• To comfort the sorrowful;• To bear wrongs patiently;• To forgive injuries;• To pray for the living and the dead.The Corporal Works of Mercy are:• To feed the hungry;• To give drink to the thirsty;• To clothe the naked;• To shelter the homeless;• To visit the sick;• To visit the imprisoned;• To bury the dead.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Listen along as we continue our series through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 8:1-25 - Chris  Title: Surprised By Grace “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) “24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” (Jn. 12:24-26) 51 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But he turned and rebuked them. 56 And they went on to another village.  (Lk. 9:51-55) 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matt. 5:43-48) “Satan is not opposed to religion. He is in the religion business up to his ears. The first temptation was a religious one - to be like God. "Let me tell you how to be godly." It was a temptation to fall up, not down. Satan's chief weapon against the Gospel is false religion.” - Adrian Rodgers “Preaching to gain recognition or status is simony. Serving with an eye to advance within the church's power structure is simony. Seeking spiritual gifts for the promotion of oneself is simony. Even seeking to be godly so others will think we are godly is a type of simony.” - R.Kent Hughes

Jesus' Identity The king is here! But who did people say Jesus is? Let us look at what some eyewitnesses said about this Jesus in his first public event! Luke 3v15-18 Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah. John answered their questions by saying, "I baptize you with[water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am-so much greater that I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire." John used many such warnings as he announced the Good News to the people. Matthew 3v13-16 Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk him out of it. "I am the one who needs to be baptized by you," he said, "so why are you coming to me?" But Jesus said, "It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires." So John agreed to baptize him. After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy." Witness 1 - John the Baptist We start with Jesus' baptism, as it is the commencement of Jesus' public ministry. Jesus is now about 30 years old. Our first witness is John the Baptist himself! When John came (Luke3v1-2) When John the Baptist appeared on the scene, no prophetic voice had been heard within Israel for almost 400 years. His coming was part of God's perfect timing, for everything that relates to God's Son is always on time (Gal.4v4; Jn.2v4, 13v1) How John came (Luke3v3) Dressed and acting like the Old Testament prophet Elijah, John came to the area near the River Jordan, preaching and baptizing. He announced the arrival of the kingdom of heaven (Mt.3v3) and urged the people to repent from sin and their old lives. John's baptism looked forward to the coming of the Messiah! Little did he know what was soon going to happen! Why John came - (Luke 3v4-20) - John the Baptist was a voice crying in the wilderness. The nation of Israel was living in a state of unbelief and twisted spiritual reality. For 400 years God had been silent! Where was the voice of God, people would have been asking. The people of Israel desperately needed to hear a voice from God, and John was that faithful voice in God's own timing! It was John's work to prepare the nation for the Messiah and then present the Messiah to them. The messiah, saviour or king, as we glimpsed in the covenants. John was unambiguous in his belief about Jesus. He clearly states that Jesus was "the Lord" (Luke 3v4) and the Son of God (Jn.1v34). Certainly untenable for a Jewish male to equate anybody with the living God of Israel. Witness 2 & 3 - The Father and the Spirit Then surprise, surprise! Not least to John the Baptist! Jesus comes to him and presents himself for baptism! John at first refuses to do it (Mt.3v13-15). John knew that Jesus of Nazareth was the perfect Son of God who had no need to repent of sin. Through his baptism, Jesus identified with all sinners that he came to save even though he was without sin or wrongdoing. This is the start of Jesus' public ministry. But why did Jesus get baptized? In replying to John's initial refusal to baptize him, Jesus said "...it is proper for us to do this to fulfil all righteousness" (Mt.3v15). This looks ahead, as we shall see, to his suffering on the cross, because it is only through the baptism of suffering that Jesus endured on the cross, that God is able to fulfil all righteousness. The "us" referred to means Father, Son and Spirit. When Jesus came up from the water, the Father spoke from heaven and identified Him as the beloved Son of God, and the Spirit visibly came upon Jesus in the form of a dove. They testified as to who Jesus was and is! Witness 4 & 5. The Genealogies! In the genealogies of Jesus we see another extraordinary thing about this Jesus! You can read them at Matthew 1v1-17 and Luke 3v23-3 Jesus as the Son of Man - The genealogies reminds us that the Son of God was also the Son of Man, born into the world, identifying with the needs and problems of mankind. Through the genealogy, we see down through the generations Jesus' link to Adam and ultimately God. The phrase "the son of" generally means any remotely connected descendant or ancestor. It is a reminder that Jesus, being Joseph's legal son was part of a human family, tribe, race and nation. Jesus' line goes back through the Old Testament from Joseph to King David to Judah, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham, to Methuselah to Noah and Adam. The genealogy, with its link to David, shows Jesus' right to ascend to David's throne (Luke 1v32-33). The genealogy shows Jesus' total human-ness, and because he is linked to Adam, identifies with all humanity and not just Israel. But there is one difference between Jesus and all other humans. In that Luke doesn't stop the genealogy at Adam, as he would have for all other humans, Luke ultimately leads and links Jesus to being God's Son. Jesus as the Son of God - Adam had come into the world bearing the true image of a son of God, but, when Adam disobeyed God, that image was marred and scarred due to sin entering the world. All that is, except Jesus. The voice from God the Father ratified Jesus as the Son of God. Not a son of God as some may claim, but the one and only Son of God. This genealogy points to the unbroken relationship between Jesus and God. Jesus is as Adam was before Adam's disobedience. This is Jesus, both fully human and fully God. We will find out why later on in the series! Jesus, the one all of the Old Testament covenants pointed ahead to coming! John the Baptist identified who Jesus was. God the Father and God the Holy Spirit testified about who Jesus was. His genealogies and ancestry testify as to who he was. Who do you say Jesus was and is? Tomorrow we look at his purpose and mission! Thank you! Right mouse click or tap here to download as a MP3 audio file

(Día Mundial de los Deportes Acuáticos)  Nació en Cuba en 1915, y tuvo una extraordinaria carrera en la natación internacional. Sin embargo, antes de su muerte en 1969, también en su tierra natal, Juan José Cortiñas sabía que en 1949 había fracasado dos veces al tratar de atravesar el Canal de la Mancha entre Francia e Inglaterra, y que el primero de julio de 1950 había fracasado en el intento de atravesar el Estrecho de la Florida desde Bahía Honda, en Pinar del Río, Cuba, hasta Cayo Hueso en los Estados Unidos para celebrar el Centenario de la Bandera Cubana. Pero gracias a Dios, también estaba consciente de sus grandes logros, pues su carrera fue tan sobresaliente que en 1967 fue incluido como el número 60 en la lista de los Nadadores de Honor del Salón de la Fama de Natación de Maratón Internacional, siendo hasta entonces el único cubano en recibir tal honor. En septiembre de 1949, sin traje de neopreno, Cortiñas completó una travesía de 14 kilómetros y medio en 10 horas y 45 minutos desde el Estrecho de Gibraltar en España hasta la Punta Almanza en la costa de Marruecos; y en octubre de 1953 fue el primero en nadar desde la costa de Los Ángeles, California, hasta la isla de Santa Catalina, ya que los catorce que lo habían logrado hasta esa fecha habían hecho la travesía en sentido contrario, desde la isla hasta el continente, incluso él mismo. Tal vez su hazaña más sensacional la realizó Cortiñas el 22 de agosto de 1955, en que nadó desde la isla de Alcatraz hasta la costa de San Francisco, California, en una hora y 14 minutos... ¡con las manos esposadas y los pies atados! Es que antes de saltar del bote junto a la isla de Alcatraz y comenzar a nadar hasta la costa californiana, los dos hombres que lo acompañaban en el bote le colocaron esposas en las muñecas y le amarraron las piernas por los tobillos. Una gran multitud y la prensa lo estaban esperando en el Muelle del Pescador en San Francisco, y cuando salió del agua, todos lo recibieron entre aplausos y vítores.1 Si bien consideramos una hazaña el nadar atado de pies y manos, y sobre todo el lograrla durante una larga travesía, debiéramos juzgar como una insensatez, y no como una proeza de la cual jactarnos, el vivir atado por las cadenas del pecado, y más aún durante toda la vida. A eso se refería Jesucristo cuando dijo que todo el que persista en el pecado es esclavo del pecado. Pero para los que recapacitamos y reconocemos que esa manera de vivir sólo nos acarrea problemas y conflictos con todo el mundo y con Dios, Cristo afirmó que si Él, siendo el Hijo de Dios, nos perdona nuestros pecados, entonces seremos verdaderamente libres.2 Gracias a Dios, para obtener ese perdón y esa libertad sólo hace falta que se lo pidamos, y así algún día los ángeles del cielo podrán aplaudir y vitorearnos al vernos llegar a la meta final.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Demetrio J.

Jn 20,24-29.Tomás, uno de los Doce, de sobrenombre el Mellizo, no estaba con ellos cuando llegó Jesús.Los otros discípulos le dijeron: "¡Hemos visto al Señor!". El les respondió: "Si no veo la marca de los clavos en sus manos, si no pongo el dedo en el lugar de los clavos y la mano en su costado, no lo creeré".Ocho días más tarde, estaban de nuevo los discípulos reunidos en la casa, y estaba con ellos Tomás. Entonces apareció Jesús, estando cerradas las puertas, se puso en medio de ellos y les dijo: "¡La paz esté con ustedes!".Luego dijo a Tomás: "Trae aquí tu dedo: aquí están mis manos. Acerca tu mano: Métela en mi costado. En adelante no seas incrédulo, sino hombre de fe".Tomas respondió: "¡Señor mío y Dios mío!".Jesús le dijo: "Ahora crees, porque me has visto. ¡Felices los que creen sin haber visto!".

JUL. 1, 2025The challenge of developing leaders (3)."The things you have heard me say... entrust to reliable people." 2Ti 2:2 NIVA leadership expert who conducted a poll to find out how people came to be leaders writes: "I asked if they became leaders because (a) they were given a position; (b) there was a crisis in the organization; or (c) they had been mentored. More than 80 percent indicated that they were leaders because someone had mentored them in leadership-had taken them through the process...As leaders, if we feel any uncertainty or insecurity about the leadership development process, it is usually not related to the training we give. The uncertainty we feel comes when we contemplate releasing our leaders to lead. It is not dissimilar to what parents feel with their kids. My children are grown and have families of their own, but when they were teenagers, the hardest thing for my wife and me was releasing them to go their own way and make their own decisions.It is scary, but if you don't let them try out their wings, they will never learn to fly. As I have grown older, I have come to think of myself as a lid lifter. That is my main function as a team leader. If I can lift the leadership lids for the members of my team, then I am doing my job. The more barriers I remove for my people, the more likely they are to rise up to their potential." Jesus told His disciples, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain" (Jn 15:16 NKJV). If you want lasting fruit and enduring results-take the time to develop leaders.The challenge of developing leaders A lid lifterShare This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Are you letting God shine in you? Discussion Questions: Which of the Scriptures on God leading you means the most to you? Why? Which of the three obstacles mentioned do you struggle with most? Why? React to this statement: God is always leading me, and I can simple “let” Him. How does knowing the Holy Spirit is “good” affect our choice to let Him lead? React to this statement: Christ is my life. What does that mean to you? Romans and 2 Corinthians both say God gives life to our mortal bodies. Notice the word “mortal” which means now. What does that mean to you on a practical level? How is living from God different from only living for God? What is one big thing you've learned from this “Let God” series? Verses used: Ps 32:8, Prov 3:5-6, Rom 8:14, Prov 16:9, Ps 37:23, Ps 143:10, Rom 5:10, Jn 14:19-20, Jn 6:57, Phil 1:21, Rom 8:11, 2 Cor 4:11, Col 3:4, 2 Cor 4:6.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, on the Friday after the Second Sunday after Pentecost (Corpus Christi Sunday), is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, signifying that Christ loves every one of us, without exception, with a human heart."The Son of God... loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal 2:20).The Catechism of the Catholic Church (478) explains, "Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us."The Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation (Cf. Jn 19:34), reflects the infinite love of the divine Redeemer.The institution of the feast was a result of the appearances of our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1675. The celebration of the feast was extended to the General Roman Calendar of the Church by Pius IX in 1856.Today is also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
