Padre Pio
Sarveen Shafiyan-Rad November 4th, 2013

Padre Pio Padre Pio was born on May 25, 1887 in Pietrelcina, Italy. Padre died on September 23rd, 1968. His parents were Grazio Mario Forgione and Maria Guiseppa de Nunzio Forgione. Padre was baptized the day after he was born at Santa Anna Chapel. He was baptized under the name of his brother Francesco who died when he was an infant. He had one older brother, Michele and three younger sisters, Felicita, Pellegrina, and Grazia. Padre Pio is a patron saint of civil defense volunteers. Francessco (Padre Pio) lived in a very religious town which held many celebrations to tribute and respect particular saints. Religion was the center of life for the Forgione family. They participated in many religious events such as Daily Mass, fasting, and praying the Rosary. Although his parents could not read or write they memorized Sacred Scriptures in the Bible. When Padre was five years old he sanctified himself to Jesus. He liked to sing hymns and be alone when he read or prayed the Bible. When Padre was older he states that he had talked to Jesus, Madonna, and his Guardian Angel and he had suffered attacks from the devil. Padre was confirmed on September 27, 1899. He took the order of priesthood under the name of Fra Pio on January 22, 1904. After three long years of training he took his final vows in 1907. He finally became a priest on August 10, 1901. Within a month of ordination Padre was praying in the Piana Romana, and Jesus and Mary appeared to him and gave him the wounds of Christ. I can learn from Padre because of his dedication to Christ. He truly was a very considerate man. I can learn from his patience especially when he was training to be a priest and every step of the way he was talking to Jesus. I found it interesting how Padre dedicated himself to Jesus at such a young age. It is really challenging to be only five years old and making a really big decision that can alter your life. He showed me how to love Jesus

    Saint José Ramón Agustín Pro Juárez, also known as Saint Miguel Pro, was born on January 13, 1891, in Guadalupe, Mexico. He was one of eleven children, the oldest boy. Sadly, four of his siblings died as babies or young children. From an early age, he was heartily spiritual, as well as mischievous; he constantly entertained his family with his humor and practical jokes. St. Miguel was a dauntless child and sometimes took his pranks and fun too far, putting him in several near-death mishaps. The third oldest in his family, St. Miguel was unquestionably very close with his older sister. After she entered a convent at age 20, he started to recognize his own calling to the priesthood. Though his father wanted him to continue with the family business, Miguel lived for God and entered the Jesuit novitiate in El Llano, Michoacán in 1911. He had been studying with the Jesuit priests for only a year when a religious revolution broke out in Mexico and by 1914, the Jesuits were forced to flee the country.…

    Mariachi is a champion amongst the most acclaimed styles of music from Mexico. Mariachi is an outfit of guitars, diatonic harp, violins and trumpet, beginning in western Mexico. The term is not got as heretofore thought from the French word 'mariage'; rather it starts from nearby tongues of western Mexico (Náhuatl and Coca vernacular packs) where the term insinuates a social event including move masters performing on a wooden stage. An equivalent Spanish term is fandango. Mariachi association in western Mexico has changed as repertories have encountered modernization.…

    PETERLOO

    • 1831 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The disenfranchised working class took to the streets on the 16 August 1819 to protest over their lack of suffrage in the hard economic times. Historian Robert Poole has gone as far as to say that Peterloo was one of the defining moments of it’s age1. For what came to be known as The Peterloo Massacre became a clear indication of the lack of ways in which the working class and peasantry could voice their political beliefs: They did not have the vote, the protest was violently suppressed- and following The Peterloo Massacre newspapers and other publications were censored or shut down if they were deemed to contain any seditious messages. It seems by looking at the sources that one of the most notable shifts in political voice is the censorship and suppression the government issues with the massacre and following it. However, Peterloo did embody a shift towards universal suffrage and a broader political voice, with women veering into the political spectrum for the first time, taking part in the protests and rallies.…

    Hernando Cortez

    • 718 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Was Hernando Cortez a good or evil man? This debate has been argued over the years and still is today. Those who say Cortez is an evil man seem to focus singularly on the actions that the great Spanish conquistador has inflicted upon the Aztecs and the surrounding Indians. Not once do they look at the reasons why he performed the actions that many say were horrible acts of violence and manslaughter. These accusations of greed and murder of the Aztecs, as well as his own against Cortez have been corrupted in order to give a false and savage image of this great Spanish man. Hernando Cortez was, in fact, a great man contrary to what most is taught to believe.…

    The Roman Catholic Church is something my family and I are familiar with. In Los Angeles I went to a co-ed Catholic school called St. Eugene. When I first picked up the book I was excited to find out the back story of the organization of Las Hermanas. “In the forefront of liberation of the Mexican American community are beautiful and courageous women, women who know how to fight,” Canciόn de Las Hermanas. That quote summarizes the movement dealing with Latina women in the Catholic Church.…

    Pancho Villa

    • 6 Pages

    Pancho villa Doroteo Aranga learned to hate aristocratic Dons, who worked he and many other Mexicans like slaves, Doroteo Aranga also known as Pancho villa hated aristocratic because he made them work like animals all day long with little to eat. Even more so, he hated ignorance within the Mexican people that allowed such injustices. At the young age of fifteen, Aranga came home to find his mother trying to prevent the rape of his sister. Aranga shot the man and fled to the Sierra Madre for the next fifteen years, marking him as a fugitive for the first time. It was then that he changed his name from Doroteo Aranga to Francisco "Pancho" Villa, a man he greatly admired. Upon the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1911 against the Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz, Villa offered his services to the rebel leader Francisco I. Madero. During Madero's administration, he served under the Mexican general Victoriano Huerta, who sentenced him to death for insubordination. With his victories attracting attention in the United States, Villa escaped to the United States. President Woodrow Wilson's military advisor, General Scott, argued that the U.S. should support Pancho Villa, because he would become "the George Washington of Mexico." In August of 1914, General Pershing met Villa for the first time in El Paso, Texas and was impressed with his cooperative composure; Pancho Villa then came to the conclusion that the U.S. would acknowledge him as Mexico's leader. Following the assassination of Madero and the assumption of power by Huerta in 1913, he returned to join the opposition under the revolutionary Venustiano Carranza. Using "hit and run" tactics, he gained control of northern Mexico, including Mexico City. As a result, his powerful fighting force became "La Division Del Norte." The two men soon became enemies, however, and when Carranza seized power in 1914, Villa led the rebellion against him. By April of 1915, Villa had set out to destroy Carranzista…

    In the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment to the Constitution reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. Gun control proponents have argued and some federal courts have ruled that the Second Amendment does not apply to individual citizens of the United States but only to members of militias, which, they assert, are now the state National Guard units. In 2002, a federal appeals court panel ruled that "the people" only "have the right to bear arms in the service of the state.” Gun rights proponents have argued and some federal courts have ruled that the Second Amendment recognizes "an individual right to keep and bear arms." In 2001, a federal appeals court panel ruled that the Second Amendment "protects the right of individuals, including those not then actually a member of any militia or engaged in active military service or training, to privately possess and bear their own firearms..” James Madison was the primary author of the Bill of Rights, is known as the "Father of the Constitution" for his central role in its formation, and was one of three authors of the Federalist Papers, a group of essays published in newspapers and books to explain and lobby for ratification of the Constitution.…

    Pedro Lopez

    It is within human nature to feel as though one can label a person as good or bad without fully knowing that person. Serial killers are a type of species presumed to be inherently evil and more flawed then the devil himself. This definition of serial killers is widely accepted among different nations because as a whole the people of the world genuinely agree on what is coherently good as well as what is coherently evil. Thanks to universal coverage and bias opinion which is divulged by the media most people have difficulties seeing serial killers in any other light besides the root of all evil. Something not quite understood by people is the lack of morality which is evident in all, not just serial killers. Sadly enough in today's society forgiveness is not something easy to gain and in order for it to be sincere the past must be forgotten, something even more difficult to achieve than equality. Considering that most, if not all, serial killers follow through with their actions based on some form of chemical inequality within their brain; it seems to make no sense as to why the human population would judge them any more than they would judge a person with autism. Modern day views on serial killers have been produced from the world's lack of knowledge within the psychology field from the start. Before people were given the correct information as to why serial killers killed people it was assumed that they were simply horrid people who must be killed. Now more is known about the psychological issues serial killers experience which causes them to pursue certain actions allowing for their reasoning to be somewhat understood by all. Serial killer Pedro López, although, had a different and more disturbed childhood than most serial killers which is thought to have lead to his type of crime. Like most "normal" people Pedro López was unable to forget the past of revise it in any way. The trauma Pedro López faced as a child caused psychological issues upon him, beginning…

    One who enters the country to take up a permanent residence without legal authorization is referred to as an illegal immigrant. An illegal immigrant fails to recognize the legal procedures that are necessary to occupy the country they plan to enter. In some cases, immigrants that are permitted to enter a country are given clearance to reside in that country for an allotted window of time. This is referred to as a “visa”. An issue sometimes occurring with those who hold visas, is when that immigrant remains in the country long after the visa has expired. At that point residing in the country as an illegal immigrant. An important perspective within the debate over illegal immigrants is the influence they have on that countries economy. In the United States, it is argued that illegal immigrants take jobs from…

    If there is such a person as a “typical Catholic priest,” it is not Father H Setter. From his struggle of finding his call, to taking on a parent role, and being one of the most renowned names in the cigar world, his life reveals that he is more than just a casual priest. A stocky, six foot five man dressed in black with a Roman collar definitely stands out in a crowd, but what truly sets him apart is his journey to priesthood and his charismatic personality. He truly is an interesting person, which led him to be my subject for this interview.…

    Uncle Marcos and his stories are still fresh in Clara's mind, and are told to others by Alba. Clara and Uncle Marcos always got along and were good friends, "Each time Uncle Marcos had visited her sister Nívea's home, he had stayed for several months, to the immense joy of his nieces and nephews, particularly Clara" (10). Whenever Uncle Marcos was over at his sisters', Clara was the only one that did not mind having Uncle Marcos stay and live with them. "It has been two years since Clara had last seen her Uncle Marcos, but she remembered him very well. His was the only perfectly clear image she retained from her whole childhood . . ." (9). Clara had a great interest in her Uncle's stories when she was a child and had remembered all of them because of her fascination in the stories, "Of all the del Valle children, Clara was the one with the greatest interest in and stamina for her uncle's stories. She could repeat each and every one of them" (17). Alba had read Uncle Marcos' books in the basement of the big house on the corner and had remembered them very well ever since. Alba was so entranced with Uncle Marcos' stories that she was able to remember them even after most of her life had passed. Alba told Uncle Marcos stories to the girls in the concentration camp as a way for them to block out the horrible situation they were in at the time, " . . . I had sat with a child in each arm and told them magic stories from the enchanted trunks of my Great-Uncle Marcos until they fell asleep . . ."…
