Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez en la antigua Grecia por el año 492 antes  de cristo un ejército persa que era en su momento el más poderoso del Asia y Europa. Este ejercito estaba comandado por Darío I rey de Persia. En años anteriores Darío había intentado atacar a las ciudades Jonias y estas habían recibido apoyo de Atenas y Eretría lo que llevo a Darío a dirigir su mirada hacia estas dos ciudades, especialmente Atenas que tenía un lugar privilegiado en el poderío griego. Tal era la atención que tenía Darío por castigar a loa atenienses que había ordenado a todos sus ayudantes de sus cuarteles que le dijeran con cada comida.  "¡Gran rey, no te olvides de los atenienses!" Cuando finalmente Daria decidio comenzar la que se llamaría la primera guerra médica (por lo de Medas no por lo de doctores médicos) su intención era llegar a Atenas. Intento un desembarco marítimo para cercar a Atenas  Sin embargo la flota fue destruida por una tormenta y no pudieron continuar con su cometido. Al año siguiente Darío I mandó embajadores a toda Grecia exigiendo su sumisión. Fueron muchas las que aceptaron, pero Atenas y Esparta se negaron matando al embajador. Este sería el desencadenante de una nueva campaña militar llevada a cabo por Darío. Así que saliendo de lo que hoy es Turquía atravesó por el estrecho  de los Dardanelos que lleva al mar de Mármara y alli entro en los terrenos de tracia. Siguiendo su campaña llego a el norte de lo que hoy es Grecia  en el año 492 ac el general Mardonio se apoderó de lo que en su época se llamaba tracia y luego Macedonia lo que hoy llamamos macedonia del norte.  Su campaña triunfante lo situaba así en la frontera de Tesalia  Finalmente En el año 490 a. C., el ejército persa partió hacia la costa griega bajo el mando de Artafernes y Datis. Desembarcaron en la bahía de Maratón, adecuada, debido a su gran extensión, para el despliegue de todas las tropas persas. Éstas superaban en número a las atenienses, por lo que Milcíades,  general ateniense, envió a Filípides a pedir ayuda a Esparta, quien pospuso el envío de tropas hasta la finalización de sus juegos. La Batalla de Maratón era pues decisiva para la supervivencia de Atenas y temerosos de su resultado los atenienses estaba dispuestos a inmolarse en caso de perderla ya que sabían que si los persas entraban en su ciudad la quemarían y los harían esclavos   Milcíades el general Ateniense decidió atacar rápidamente. Colocó a sus tropas en una formación que parecía débil en el centro pero fuerte en los flancos. Cuando los persas atacaron, el centro griego retrocedió, atrayendo a los persas hacia el interior. Luego, los flancos griegos rodearon a los persas, atrapándolos y causando una gran derrota.La batalla fue feroz. Los griegos, aunque en menor número, lucharon con valentía y determinación. La estrategia de Milcíades funcionó perfectamente, y los persas fueron rodeados y derrotados.   Los ancianos, mujeres y niños atenienses se encontraban en la acrópolis de Atenas esperando noticias de la batalla, así que Milcíades envió a Filípides a proclamar la noticia. Éste recorrió corriendo los aproximadamente 40 kilómetros que separaban Maratón de Atenas  ya que sabía que si no llegaba a tiempo para evitar la inmolación publica de viejos, mujeres y niños la victoria seria pírrica y al llegar exclamó: Cuando llego a las puertas de Atenas alcanzo a decir  "¡Alegraos atenienses, hemos vencido!" Los Atenienses se habían librado del terrible destino que les esperaba pero la fortuna no estaría con aquel mensajero ya que nada más a

Con Alberto Aparici viajamos a un mundo muy diferente al actual, en el que había insectos gigantes y malas hierbas de 50 metros de altura. Son las selvas húmedas del periodo Carbonífero, hace 325 millones de años, los bosques que más drásticamente han cambiado la cara del planeta y marcaron un antes y un después.

Noche loca con Herminia.

En Europa ante la crisis energética y la falta de soluciones que no signifiquen sacrificios económicos para los usuarios, circulan ideas controvertidas a tal grado que en Alemania algunos piden a la población que bañe menos veces o en menor tiempo; o que usen toallitas húmedas. La ministra de medio ambiente de Suiza, Simonetta Sommaruga, propuso que para ahorrar hay que bañarse en pareja, pero para gente joven, porque en mayores sería incómodo. También recomiendan apagar luminarias e instalar menos luces para Navidad.

Pentecost Sunday May 23, 2021 Fr. Michael Medas

Hace 66 millones de años un asteroide impactó en lo que hoy es la península de Yucatán, en México, desencadenando una extinción que afectó a todo el planeta y que se llevó consigo a la mayoría de los dinosaurios (siempre es buen momento para recordar que las aves son dinosaurios :P). Este suceso es extremadamente conocido por sus consecuencias sobre la fauna, pero también tuvo unas cuantas sobre la flora, y no pequeñas. El mundo post-exinción fue conquistado por las gramíneas, que hoy en día se encuentran en todos los continentes, y los bosques tropicales cambiaron radicalmente. De esto último es de lo que os vamos a hablar en este episodio, a raíz de un artículo publicado en la revista Science que analiza los cambios en las selvas húmedas de Sudamérica y trata de establecer cuáles estuvieron directamente relacionados con el impacto del asteroide. Aunque el impacto de Chicxulub fue fundamental para la historia de la vida en la Tierra, el hecho de que fuera un evento tan puntual hace que tengamos pocos detalles sobre él. Sólo conocemos un yacimiento paleontológico que recoja fósiles directamente producidos por el impacto, y ese yacimiento se dio a conocer en 2019 y aún es controvertido dentro de la comunidad. Se trata del yacimiento de Tanis, en Estados Unidos. De él os hablamos cuando se hizo pública su existencia, en el episodio s08e26. Este capítulo es casi una glosa a nuestra historia universal de los bosques, que os contamos la temporada pasada. Si queréis escucharla, la tenéis en los episodios s09e37, s09e38, s09e40, s09e42, s09e43 y s09e44. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 23 de abril de 2021.

DA ANNI STEFANO MEDAS VIVE E LAVORA A VENEZIA COME RICERCATORE E ARCHEOLOGO SUBACQUEO E NAVALEL'AUTOREStefano Medas è archeologo subacqueo e navale e ha condotto numerose campagne di scavo su relitti e siti sommersi. È presidente dell'Istituto Italiano di Archeologia e Etnologia Navale e assegnista di ricerca all'Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia. Da oltre vent'anni tiene corsi di vela con le barche tradizionali dell'Adriatico. Oltre a essere autore di numerosi contributi scientifici, con Mondadori ha pubblicato i romanzi storici Rex Iuba e Il testimone.IL LIBROA casa, Stefano ha sempre avuto ben più di un gatto: dai trovatelli che cercavano rifugio, a quelli che sua madre dipingeva sui sassi e sulle tele. Quando era bambino, lei gli raccontò che Venezia, quella città che conosceva solo dalle fotografie, dove al posto delle strade c'erano i canali e al posto delle automobili le barche, era un luogo magico per i gatti, perché lì potevano trovare tutto il pesce che volevano e vivere tranquilli, lontani dai pericoli di ogni altra città, accuditi con amore dagli abitanti. A quell'epoca ce n'erano ancora a migliaia, che giravano liberi per le calli e nei campi.Quando la vita lo ha portato a lavorare proprio lì, Venezia è diventata per Stefano una dimensione quotidiana, insieme ai gatti che la popolano. C'è quello che ogni giorno prende il vaporetto numero 1 per andare dall'Arsenale alla Salute; ci sono quelli accuditi dalle ultime mame dei gati, le gattare; quelli come Cuba e il Rosso, che si sentono i «dogi» del campo; oppure quelli come Damasco, che diventano amici di chi offre loro una fetta di prosciutto.Nonostante l'acqua alta e le orde di turisti, Venezia è rimasta per loro la casa più accogliente, il posto perfetto in cui vivere, la città ideale dei gatti.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Comidas húmedas, la mejor opción para tu gato resulta que los gatos por naturaleza propia, ingieren muy poca agua. La explicación de ello es porque cuando no pertenecen a ningún hogar, cazan ratones, aves y cualquier otra alimaña que les proporcionan todo el porcentaje de agua que necesita, que es más de 60%.

Stefano Medas"Il testimone"Dall'Egitto a Roma sulla rotta del misteroMondadori Editorewww.librimondadori.itCopista presso la grande biblioteca di Alessandria d'Egitto e aspirante filosofo, il giovane Callimaco è in procinto di partire alla volta di Roma, dove, insieme al fratello maggiore Teocrito, dovrà consegnare un cospicuo carico di volumi alle biblioteche e ai librai dell'Urbe. Prima dell'imbarco, però, un misterioso personaggio gli affida, dietro pagamento di una cifra spropositata, una custodia di cuoio perfettamente sigillata, raccomandandogli di averne la massima cura e di recapitarla personalmente al destinatario.Comincia così un avventuroso viaggio per mare, che lambirà le coste dell'Asia Minore per poi inoltrarsi nel cuore del Mediterraneo fino a toccare Creta, Malta e la Sicilia. Un viaggio disseminato di insidie ma anche foriero di incontri inattesi: Dafne, anzitutto, una ragazza imprevedibile e ammaliante, capace di destare in Callimaco sentimenti che hanno il sapore di un'attesa esaudita; Paolo di Tarso, carismatico apostolo della fede in Cristo, che cercherà di minare la granitica fiducia di Callimaco nelle facoltà della ragione; un individuo minaccioso e sfuggente, che sembra spiare ogni sua mossa e seguirlo in ogni dove; e infine il Testimone, al cui cospetto nessuno potrà ostentare indifferenza.Sullo sfondo, gli ultimi bagliori della grande cultura greco-ellenistica, una Roma rilucente e al culmine del suo splendore e la nascente religione cristiana, destinata a rimettere in discussione gli equilibri di un mondo in cui ogni cosa sta cambiando.Ed è questo mondo che Stefano Medas, con uno stile nitido e in grado di catturare l'essenza delle cose, ci restituisce in tutto il suo fascino, come solo chi è fine conoscitore dell'antichità e ispirato narratore sa fare.Stefano Medas è archeologo subacqueo e navale e ha condotto numerose campagne di scavo su relitti e siti sommersi. È stato docente a contratto di Storia della Navigazione Antica all'università di Bologna e di Archeologia e Storia Navale del mondo fenicio-punico all'università di Cagliari. Attualmente è presidente dell'Istituto Italiano di Archeologia ed Etnologia Navale e assegnista di ricerca all'università Ca' Foscari di Venezia. Da oltre vent'anni tiene corsi di vela con le barche tradizionali.In materia di archeologia subacquea, archeologia navale e storia della navigazione ha pubblicato oltre cento articoli su riviste scientifiche e atti di convegni nazionali e internazionali, oltre ad alcune monografie, tra cui: La marineria cartaginese - le navi, gli uomini, la navigazione (Carlo Delfino Editore, 2000); De rebus nauticis - L'arte della navigazione nel mondo antico (L'Erma di Bretschneider, 2004); Lo Stadiasmo o Periplo del Mare Grande e la navigazione antica (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2008). Nel 2016 è uscito per Mondadori Rex Iuba, il suo primo romanzo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

A hundred years before Ellis Island became a processing center for immigrants wishing to enter the United States, Philadelphia had the Lazaretto, a quarantine hospital where every ship entering the harbor from June to September had to stop while those aboard were checked for signs of infectious disease. In a city already known for its diversity by the mid-nineteenth century, the Lazaretto represented both openness to and fear of the outsider. This deep ambivalence, to change and to the other, forms the heart of Lazaretto (Harper, 2016), the sparkling new novel by Diane McKinney-Whetstone, who already has five acclaimed works of fiction to her credit. The US Civil War has just ended. In the home of a well-respected midwife, a white attorney has brought his young black servant, Meda, to abort the child he has fathered on her. But the pregnancy is too far along for such a solution, and the child arrives that very night. The father takes the child, ordering the midwife to tell his servant that her daughter is dead. Distraught, Meda takes temporary refuge at a nearby orphanage as soon as she has recovered from childbirth. There she acts as a wet nurse to two newborn boys, whom she christens Bram and Lincoln after her hero, President Abraham Lincoln assassinated on the same night as her own baby died. When she returns to her employers home, the boys come with her for part of every week. Meda raises them as brothers. As the boys grow older, they move back and forth among the affluent white community, the orphanage, and Medas mostly warm and welcoming friends and family, until a series of drastic events brings them to the Lazaretto. There old questions at last find answers. C. P. Lesley is the author of six novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, and The Swan Princess), a historical fiction series set in 1530s Russia, during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible.

A hundred years before Ellis Island became a processing center for immigrants wishing to enter the United States, Philadelphia had the Lazaretto, a quarantine hospital where every ship entering the harbor from June to September had to stop while those aboard were checked for signs of infectious disease. In a city already known for its diversity by the mid-nineteenth century, the Lazaretto represented both openness to and fear of the outsider. This deep ambivalence, to change and to the other, forms the heart of Lazaretto (Harper, 2016), the sparkling new novel by Diane McKinney-Whetstone, who already has five acclaimed works of fiction to her credit. The US Civil War has just ended. In the home of a well-respected midwife, a white attorney has brought his young black servant, Meda, to abort the child he has fathered on her. But the pregnancy is too far along for such a solution, and the child arrives that very night. The father takes the child, ordering the midwife to tell his servant that her daughter is dead. Distraught, Meda takes temporary refuge at a nearby orphanage as soon as she has recovered from childbirth. There she acts as a wet nurse to two newborn boys, whom she christens Bram and Lincoln after her hero, President Abraham Lincoln assassinated on the same night as her own baby died.

[intro music] Host – Dan Keller Hello, and welcome to Episode Sixty-One of Multiple Sclerosis Discovery, the Podcast of the MS Discovery Forum. I’m Dan Keller. In this podcast, Dr. Yanming Wang of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, discusses a solution to the vexing problem of how to track changes in myelin in the brain and spinal cord, a measurement believed to be especially important for new candidate drugs to restore this insulating sheathing around axons. First, here are some new items in the MS Discovery Forum. A new data visualization showcases the collaborations among authors who published papers reporting the results of clinical trials in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis in the last 30 years. You can find the network map on msdiscovery.org under “Research Resources.” You can mouse over circles in the graphic to find researchers' names. Click and drag the circles to animate the map and reveal connections. In research news, a Swedish team took the first steps toward finding potential disease markers in the immune cells of asymptomatic people with MS and with seasonal allergies. The study pinpointed three key proteins that may transform normally protective T cells into ones that attack myelin in the case of MS. The three proteins are transcription factors, which glom on to DNA and control which genes turn on and off. According to data from genome studies, the proteins are more common in genetic regions associated with disease, strengthening the case for their role in MS. Finally, the three proteins act differently in people with immune-related diseases, including multiple sclerosis, according to tests on blood samples. Ultimately, the researchers want to learn if they can detect multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions much earlier. [transition music] And now to our interview. MSDF caught up with Dr. Yanming Wang last month at the 2015 World Congress of Neurology meeting in Santiago, Chile. We discussed his solution to what has been a missing link in MS research and practice; that is, how to image myelin -- not just lesions on an MRI, but how to tag the substance itself using a biomarker for molecular imaging called M-E-D-A-S, or "mee-das." Going beyond diagnosis, Dr. Wang told us it may eventually allow clinicians to get a better handle on disease progression and efficacy of treatments. Interviewer – Dan Keller You had referred to molecular imaging of myelin as the missing link. Why is this the missing link? Interviewee – Yanming Wang Because molecular imaging has really transformed how we practice medicine today, and it has become a standard care for virtually many neurological diseases. However, in multiple sclerosis, there's still no effective imaging technique in place that can help physicians to monitor not just for diagnosis, but also to monitor the disease progression. MSDF And would this be useful also in monitoring potential therapies? Dr. Wang Exactly. There's a lack of imaging technique that allow people to monitor the drug efficacy, particularly for those drugs that try to repair the myelin damage in the CNS. MSDF How would this differ from MRI imaging, what you see there, versus having a radioactive biomarker? Dr. Wang Currently, MRI is the commonly used imaging modality in MS, however MRI provides only anatomical information and also detect brain lesions. However, those lesions detected on MRI are not specific for myelin pathology. MSDF You do have a compound now, [11C]MeDAS, which would be specific for myelin. Is that right, is it very specific for myelin? Dr. Wang Exactly. It's very specific for myelin, because the advantage it has over MRI is that that is truly a molecular imaging modality which uses myelin-specific radiotracers that allow to quantitatively monitor the myelin damage and myelin distribution in the brain. So for this reason, we developed a specific radiotracer that can selectively bind to myelin with high affinity, so that we could directly image the myelin distribution. MSDF How quickly does it reach the CNS and you can image? Dr. Wang It takes minutes, literally, for the radiotracer to penetrate the BBB and enter the brain, and then the whole process takes only 60 minutes. MSDF Can you briefly describe your rat model where you're using lysolecithin as an MS model, and then what you did with your marker? Dr. Wang Lysolecithin model is an established model of focal demyelination in the brain, so we used that model to test our compounds to monitor the demyelination and remyelination. So after injection of MeDAS, the compounds could readily enter the brain and selectively bind to the myelin. And then at the peak of the disease, which is a peak of the demyelination, the brain uptake of the compounds is lowest, versus when the brain is recovered, then the brain uptake of the compounds is increased. So this demonstrated the in vivo specificity of the radiotracer for myelin. MSDF And you can image myelin on the way down and on the way up; you have this hepatocyte growth factor which causes some remyelination? Dr. Wang Right, exactly. In collaboration with my colleague, Bob Miller. So we'd use this imaging modality to see if we can monitor the drug efficacy for remyelination. So we'd give this HGF, which is a growth factor that promotes remyelination, and then we could use this imaging technique just to monitor the increase of remyelination after the drug treatment. MSDF Everything right now is in animals. Do you have plans for any human trials? Dr. Wang Yes, we are working on this paperwork required by FDA to put these compounds in humans. MSDF Is the compound so far nontoxic; it's diamino stilbene, is that right? Does it have any estrogenic effects or other toxic effects? Dr. Wang No. We have done systematic toxicity studies and there's any adverse effects in animal models so far. MSDF What do you see as the clinical utility of this if it enters the human realm? Dr. Wang It's going to be a very powerful tool for diagnosis and prognosis, and also particularly for evaluation of drug efficacy. As you know, currently pharmaceutical companies and academic investigators are all trying to develop new drugs that can repair myelin damage in order to restore the biological functions. However, there's a lack of imaging tools in place that allow them to monitor such myelin repair therapies, and this could provide the missing link for this endeavor. MSDF Does PET imaging with this compound correlate at all with what's seen on MRI, especially in a kinetic sense following time course? Dr. Wang Well, yes. In the wonderful publication in Annual Neurology a couple years ago, we did demonstrate that this PET imaging technique can be used as an imaging marker that correlates with the disease progression in terms of the severity of the symptoms in animal models, in the EAE models. The EAE rat, for example, its appearance, the relapsing or remitting stage, and that we could use this imaging marker to correlate nicely with the symptoms. And this is one of important application if we put this into clinical use. MSDF Is this compound the end-all and be-all, or are you developing others, or have some gone by the wayside for various reasons? Dr. Wang This compound, and also this imaging technique, could be used not just only in MS, but can also be used in many other neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, and stroke, for example, because all of these neurological diseases are associated to some degree with the myelin damage. MSDF Have we missed anything important, anything to add? Dr. Wang Again, I think the imaging technique, particularly molecular imaging technique based on positron emission tomography, is lagged behind in the field of neurological diseases because of the complexities of the brain and the lack of molecular probes that could advance our understanding, also facilitate the drug discovery. MSDF I appreciate it. Thank you. Dr. Wang Oh, thank you very much then. [transition music] MSDF Thank you for listening to Episode Sixty-One of Multiple Sclerosis Discovery.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Fr. Michael Medas, Director of Clergy Personnel Today's topics: Priest Profile: Fr. Michael Medas; How a priest gets assignments Summary of today's show: Fr. Michael Medas shares with Scot his many and varied assignments, from parishes to deaf ministry to military chaplaincy and now the clergy personnel office. Fr. Medas also explained the detailed 48-step process that goes into assigning a priest to a parish. 1st segment: Today's guest is Fr. Michael Medas of the Clergy Personnel Office. We'll be discussing how priests get assigned to new positions and who gives input to the assignments. But first, Scot offered congratulations to the 13 new permanent deacons ordained by Cardinal Seán at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Saturday. Deacons Jim Leo and Kevin Wynn were our guests on The Good Catholic Life a few weeks ago. Photos of the ordination are at . Fr. Medas' office also assigns deacons as well as priests. It's an exciting time for his office, he said. Scot said most of the deacons participated in their first Masses on Sunday along with their first homilies. Fr. Medas said a key element of the diaconate is the ministry of preaching. Fr. Michael was ordained in 1988. Scot asked him how he came to discern the call to priesthood. Fr. Michael said is experience of the call was unique. When he first entered the seminary after high school, he found many of his fellow seminarians mentioned a priest who said something in their life or saw a particular quality in them in the context of the Church. A number of his classmates mentioned the influence of religious sisters in their schools. But for Fr. Michael, it was a quiet experience. His family would go to Mass and he would feel a quiet attraction to the ministry of the priest. He was thinking of law enforcement or a medical vocation at the time, but a quiet voice told him maybe priesthood was possible for him. He entered the seminary thinking they were going to kick him out. There was a priest his parish, Fr. Bill Shea, OMI, who gave a homily once about having dinner with a married friend who'd wondered whether he should have considered the priesthood. At the time, he thought that he didn't want to look back in his old age wondering if he should have considered the priesthood. So he entered the seminary, still planning on another career, waiting for them to decide he should leave. Fr. Michael said his time in the seminary was divided into undergraduate and graduate years and he finally discerned that calling at the end of his undergrad years. It was still a quiet confirmation, a feeling that it felt right and fit him. It was still very challenging to be conformed to God's heart, mind, and will, but it still felt comfortable. Fr. Michael grew up in Bridgewater and it at the time it was still quite rural with many dairy farms. It was a small town with good family values. Two aspects of the parish that influenced him was the great preaching at Masses that helped him understand that Christ is present in the Eucharist. It is interesting to him that so many who are responding to vocational calls today, that the Eucharist was so central to them. They also had First Friday devotions with Eucharistic exposition all day. As altar servers, they were called to participate. He said the core of what called him to ask if this was what God was asking him to do, was that he had such a great understanding that the Eucharist is Jesus. He knew that whenever he was seeking Christ, he could find him in the Eucharist. As a priest, he wants to continue to share it as gently and firmly as those parish priests. 2nd segment: Fr. Michael's first assignment was at St. Patrick's in Watertown, which had many older folks who built the parish and continued to support it. It had a grammar school and high school. Also, being close to Boston, it was a Catholic parish where younger people working in Boston started to locate. Scot said it's a beautiful big church and still going strong. CatholicTV has its headquarters in the former convent right behind the parish. Fr. Michael said part of our Catholic life is how older members can share faith with the newer folks, while newer folks share energy and vibrancy with the older folks. After that, Fr. Michael went to St. Theresa Parish in Billerica. It is a very vibrant family community. There were 2,000 kids just in religious education alone. There were 3,000 people at Mass every weekend. He recalls how the traditions of the faith were passed on within families from one generation to the next. In 1994, he was invited to prepare himself through study to lead the Office of the Deaf Apostolate. The Clergy Personnel office had sent out a survey to priests listing a series of non-parish ministries to see if they'd be interested. Fr. Michael checked off deaf ministry. When Fr. Michael was in the last four years of seminary, the deaf community came to the seminary with the hopes of attracting the interest of some future priest to work with them. He remembers sitting in the back of the chapel and the Scripture was proclaimed. A seminarian read the Word and a deaf person sat next to him signing the Word. He thought to himself that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us in the signing. We have a different access to understand God's Word. After meeting with a priest in 1994 who worked in the deaf apostolate, he prayed about God's will for him. Fr. Michael went to in DC to learn American Sign Language. It is a university specifically for deaf people. It is a place where the language is learn, but also the culture of the deaf is experienced. He earned a degree in social work there and then led the Deaf Apostolate for close to a decade. On the weekends when he celebrated Mass for hearing communities, he'd lose his voice because he stopped using it during the week serving deaf Catholics. He would travel more than 450 miles per week visiting deaf people throughout the Archdiocese, helping them with pastoral needs. Scopt said Fr. Sean Carey is the only deaf priest in the Archdiocese and when he celebrates Mass, it helps Scot to appreciate the Mass more. Fr. Michael shared a story of Fr. Shawn's vocation. He had been with the deaf community praying for a vocation from the deaf Catholic community. They had received a statue of Our Lady from the Archdiocese and each family in the deaf community would bring that statue home and pray every evening at dinner time that God would send them such a vocation. About two years later, Sean Carey stepped forward. Fr. Michael said God can call anybody because it's not about the individual, but it's about God's ability to work around our sinfulness and weakness. If you hear the Word of God calling you to discernment, it can be a quiet call not a lightning bolt. He said as a priest learning sign, celebrating Mass, he has to consider carefully what the Church means by the words of the Mass as well as the words as themselves. It was a deepening of the understanding of Mass and it also slowed him down in celebrating the Mass. It was a great gift. He still celebrates Mass in American Sign Language about once per month. It's not always with the deaf community. Often if he goes to Mass with a lot of kids, he will pray the Eucharist prayer in Sign. Many children today learn some signs in school and at home so it's somewhat familiar and they are often intrigued. After the deaf apostolate, he was assigned to chaplaincy with the Air Force Reserves and then the Air National Guard. Fr. Michael said there's an even greater shortage of priests within the military communities. There is a sacrifice for a diocese to send a priest to the military, but they are serving people from our own communities who are already serving us in dangerous, life-threatening jobs. Scot said the Archdiocese of Boston has always been a leader in encouraging priests to consider military service. Fr. Michael said many years the bishop of the military archdiocese asked the dioceses to pledge 3% of their priests to the chaplaincy. When people are in harm's way, they want the comfort of the sacraments, especially the comfort of Jesus in the Eucharist. He served at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford. He also served at the National Security Agency, Maguire AFB in New Jersey, and the Air Force Academy. He has served at the academy for three summers now. He said he wishes every American could meet the young men and women who attend the academy. The chapel there seats 350-400 people and overflows when they come for a time of prayer, seeking to serve their country in the context of serving God. In some ways, his reserve service takes up his regular vacation time. The obligation is two weeks anytime during the year, particularly during the summer, and two days per month. When he finished a prior assignment to the one he is in now, he thought he'd be going back to parish ministry and so he switched to the Air National Guard so that he would have more stability. His ANG assignment is actually in Rhode Island because if their need for a chaplain in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Prior to this assignment, Fr. Michael was Director of Pastoral Formation at St. John Seminary. He said it was a privileged moment in his seminary formation to just be in the seminary, but then to be called back, knowing how important seminary formation is for the lives of parishioners. He was pleased to have some role in that, particularly in pastoral formation, to help the men develop their skills for the parish. 3rd segment: One of the most important duties of a bishop is to prayerfully discern the assignment of priests to parishes. Fr. Michael coordinates the process that provides the options for Cardinal Seán to choose from. Scot said Fr. Michael's predecessor, Fr. Bob Deehan, once made a presentation that listed 48 steps for assigning a priest. He was shocked at how detailed the the process was. Fr. Michael has been in the job for a little more than a year. Scot asked for an overview of the process. Fr. Michael said the people in his office give great assistance and play an important role, especially Ruth Cox who has been in the office many years and knows every priest. When a parish becomes open, the Cardinal makes an announcement in the Pilot that the present pastor is leaving the parish and moving to a new assignment. The Personnel office contacts the old pastor to create a parish profile, including all the projects, goals, and hopes of the parish for now and the future as well as the current state of the parish. At the same time, priests of the Archdiocese would be bringing the assignment to prayer and putting their name forward to be considered. Within two to three weeks, Fr. Michael will respond to contacts from interested priests and give them the results of the parish profile. The priests will also be in touch with the outgoing pastor. Scot asked if others could nominate priest they think will be good for the parish. Fr. Michael said parishioners do give their input through the parish profile compiled by the outgoing pastor. Another priest can nominate a priest by telling Fr. Michael why a particular priest would be a great fit. Occasionally, a pastor will invite Fr. Michael to meet with the parish pastoral council or parishioners to speak to them in person. It puts people's names and voices behind the parish profile. Scot said regional bishops assist Cardinal Seán with relationships with pastors and vicars forane, pastors within those regions who also work with the bishops. Fr. Michael said the bishops and vicars are helpful for considering the needs of a particular town or region or parish cluster when assigning a pastor. Once the process has begun and the Clergy Personnel Board— nine priests who are elected by ordination years and are responsible for knowing the priests in their year-groups— meets and considers those who've written in, those whose names have been put in, and every single priest in the Archdiocese. They consider the profile and have lots of discussion, discernment, and prayer. They come up with a list of names for the Cardinal, but first they bring the list to the regional bishop for him to weigh in. They always try to have a list of three names of priests who would be a good next fit. As the Cardinal reviews the three names, Fr. Michael explains the strengths of the three men. Scot asked when nominated priests find out they've been nominated. Fr. Michael said when a priest nominates another, Fr. Michael tells him he should talk to that priest so that when Cardinal Seán asks the priest to be the next pastor, it won't be a surprise and if there's a reason not to become pastor they will know it ahead of time. Scot said Cardinal Seán sometimes chooses a name that wasn't on the list, but for the most part the Cardinal is understanding of the process of all the work that goes into compiling the list. There's so much work into understanding the parish and the priests who've applied. But the Cardinal is the bishop and the Cardinal has the grace of his office for the Lord to work. There may also be particulars that the Cardinal knows as the bishop, that others might not. Fr. Michael said the Cardinal has a personnel board too with the vicar general, Fr. Michael, and the secretary of pastoral life and leadership. At the end of the meeting, Fr. Michael's task is to call the priest that Cardinal Seán has selected. If the priest didn't know he was being considered, very often he wants to speak to his spiritual director first. There's a respectfulness on the part of Cardinal Seán for God's working in the priest's life. If he accepts the assignment, then it all starts all over again if the priest was already a pastor. Scot said typically there's a couple of months before the pastor takes on the new assignment in order to allow him to wrap up his previous ministry and for the new parish to prepare. Fr. Michael's office also assigns parochial vicars to prepare them to be pastors someday. How many assignments should a young priest have before becoming a pastor. They hope for two assignments of 3 years apiece. The first assignment they are transitioning from seminary, living with a pastor. In the second assignment they learn how to be a pastor. But today, they are finding that even within 4 years or in one recent case, less than 4 years, they are becoming pastors. Some pastors are particularly good at forming parochial vicars and being mentors. The younger priest sees from his mentor how to live out his priesthood. Scot said many priests today are second-vocation priests ordained after a long professional career. They still need to transition to the priesthood, to stop seeing things through his old profession and to see it through the eyes of his priesthood.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Fr. Thomas Foley, Episcopal Vicar and Secretary for Pastoral Life and Leadership of the Archdiocese of Boston Today's topics: Priest Profile: Fr. Thomas Foley Summary of today's show: Scot chats with Fr. Thomas Foley who oversees the largest part of the Central Ministries of the Archdiocese as the secretary for pastoral life and leadership. They dicuss the various ways the Archdiocese provides support to clergy and laity and assists parishes in their day-to-day efforts and planning for the future. 1st segment: Scot welcomed everyone to the show. He said today the archdiocese says goodbye to our current vicar general, Fr. Rich Erikson, and tomorrow say hello to Msgr. Robert Deeley, who will become vicar general and moderator of the curia. He will be on the show on September 9. Scot explained that moderator of the curia helps organize the rest of Cardinal Sean's cabinet secretaries and coordinate their efforts. The cabinets include administration, education, faith formation, communications, health services, social services, institutional advancement, Catholic media, and the parish life and leadership. Fr. Foley is an episcopal vicar and he is the only vicar in the cabinet apart from the vicar general. A vicar represents or stands-in for the ministry of the bishop. Some dioceses have more than one vicar general. There is a judicial vicar, who is Fr. Mark O'Connell in Boston. Episcopal vicars are less common and he is the bishop's delegate over a certain area of church life or people. Fr. Foley is the vicar for clergy and parishes. The other episcopal vicar in Boston is Fr. Arthur Coyle who is the Cardinal's representative to the Merrimac region. A vicar has ordinary power, as canon law puts it. The bishop is the ordinary and the vicar can sign certain documents and take certain actions on the Cardinal's behalf. 2nd segment: Scot met Fr. Foley in 2006 at the consistory in Rome at which Cardinal Seán was made a cardinal. At the time he was pastor of St. Ann in Neponset. Fr. Foley was born in Woburn, like many priests of the archdiocese. Cardinal Medeiros called Woburn the land of priests. He was baptized at St. Mary, Winchester, and celebrated his first Mass at Immaculate Conception, Winchester. His first assignment as priest in 1986 was St. Mary and Martha in Lakeville. When he was ordained, he got his assignment and said he'd never heard of Lakeville, which is on the far southern edge of the archdiocese. He was only there for three years. His next assignment was St. Eulalia in Winchester in his hometown where he stayed for five years. It was very busy with 1,500 kids in CCD. Four priests lived in the rectory. In a very unusual move, he was moved to St. Mary in Winchester for four years. He was then offered Immaculate Conception in Winchester, his home parish. He was there for 6-1/2 years until it closed in 2004. Scot asked how they dealt with the closing of the parish. They knew they were very small and that their finances wouldn't work to keep them open. He told the people that the closing affected him as much as them; he had celebrated his first Mass at that altar. From there, he moved to St. Ann in the Neponset section of Dorchester as pastor. He was there only four years before Cardinal Sean asked him to come to the new assignment. Scot said Cardinal Sean might have looked to Fr. Foley because of his role in the formation of Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy, which gathered together 7 Catholics into one. Fr. Foley said in Dorchester, people even today identify themselves by what parish they come from, so merging the schools was very difficult. At the time, St. Ann was the largest school, but the budget was twice revenue very year and he and the other pastors recognized that it was impossible to make it on their own. Scot said it wasn't easy but in the end it achieved what they hoped, which was the preservation of Catholic education in Dorchester. Fr. Foley said he wasn't at first convinced about the merger of schools, but he was invited to a meeting in Brighton with the people behind the 2010 Initiative for Catholic education which gave him a lot to think about. After thinking long and hard, praying about it, and talking to his people, he became convinced. He stayed on the board of JPII academy for about a year after he moved to the Pastoral Center. He began his new assignment in June 2008 right as construction began on the new school and went back at the beginning of the school year for the opening. He missed St. Ann and not being a part of the new academy, but he was impressed by the excitement of the kids and parents in their new school. 3rd segment: Fr. Foley actually worked for a month in Brighton before the move to the Pastoral Center in Braintree. His position in the secretariate was created new by Cardinal Sean as part of a reorganization of the Archdiocese to strengthen services provided to clergy and parishes and focus on evangelization and faith formation. Among the offices are Clergy Personnel, which gives priests and deacons their assignments. Fr. Tom said it's a strategic and important part of their service. They have a personnel board that meets to look at parishes that need a priest, look at available priest, and look at the surrounding parishes to make recommendations. They have regular meetings with Cardinal Sean to update him on the latest information and changes. Fr. Michael Medas is the head of that office. Scot said Clergy Personnel also provides pastoral care for priests. It includes direct support for priests who have immediate needs, one-on-one care they provide. The Cardinal often wants to get personally involved as well when there is a priest in need, such as with a death in the family. The same with the vicar general's office. His secretariate helps with the ongoing formation of priests, including preparing parochial vicars to be pastors, ongoing education and formation, and more. Fr. Tom recently added Sr. Lucille to his staff to work with Fr. Medas in planning ongoing formation programs, workshops, conferences, the annual convocation, and retreats. There are also three or four priests per year who go on sabbatical, such as at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Officially, a priest takes a sabbatical every 10 years, but in practice few of them ask for sabbatical. They don't leave their parishes. The Vocations Office sponsors vocations to the priesthood as well as promoting the other vocations in the Church. They are bringing in many seminarians to study for the Archdiocese. There are about 60 seminarians for the Archdiocese right now. There's another class of permanent deacons about to be ordained in September. The Office of Permanent Deacons is concerned with their formation and ongoing care. The Office of Pastoral Planning works with many in the parishes including pastoral associates in the parishes as part of the planning effort to strengthen parishes. Scot said the most important initiative in the Archdiocese over the next 5 years is pastoral planning for a stronger archdiocese given changing resources in the future. There is a lot of coordination among different departments and offices on a variety of committees that involve pastoral planning to get a wide perspective on the whole. 4th segment: It's time to announce the winner of the weekly WQOM Benefactor Raffle. Our prize this week is the Let's Talk Series of books for teens by Ken Ogorek and Once Upon a Time Rosary Activity Set for children by Holy Cross Family Ministries This week's winner is Anna Malinauskas from Waltham, MA.

We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during “The Good Catholic Life” program. 5th segment: Fr. Foley also oversees the the care and support of senior priests. Fr. FOley serves on the board of Regina Cleri, which he says is the finest home for senior priests in the country and many dioceses don't even have a residence for senior priests. It was founded by Cardinal Cushing who had the foresight of building Regina Cleri when the West End was demolished for urban renewal. About 50 priests live at Regina Cleri, mostly those who are older and need more care, for whom living in a rectory is not practical. They have a good dignified life and a close community. Some senior priests also live in their own homes as well. The last office is Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. Ecumenical is among other Christian churches and interreligious is relations with Jewish and Muslim groups. It was founded by Cardinal Cushing and the office is overseen by two priests who are also pastors.
