Hello Tom,
It was nice to talk with you today Thursday in the morning here in Cochabamba and in the evening in India.
I just wanted to make sure that you understand my feelings in reference to your own e-mails to me thinking that I was angry at you which was not true at all.
And I was thinking that you might have gotten that imprression from your own brother Benny.
When you tell me that "You love me" and I understand that very well and I personally feel very close to you ever sine I made my first contact with you by e-mail or on the webcam.I could never be angry with you and more so since you are so far away from me and livng in another country and culture which is so different from mine.
The title of the reflection for last Sunday was on "The Compassion One" putting emphasis on our true Brother who is Jesus. His reaction to the sinful woman who came and washed his feet withher tears and wiped them dry with her own hair, as well as anointed his feet with a special ointment from the alabaster flask. And kissed his feet many times showing her true love for him as well as being claimed a sinful women. The Pharisees and even Simon thought that Jesus did not know who this woman was and the reputation that she might had in the town. But they were certainly mistaken and Jesus told her that her that her sins are forgiven and your Faith as Saved you.
We are also sinners and it is through our own Faith that we too ask for forgiveness. It is in our own youth that we have been approached by someone who has had a strong influence on our personal life and has made a complete changed.
I have had this experience as well as you have. It is difficult to change and probably more so from your own culture which isn't Christian and the influences are a lot different from mine.
Also in your own country, it is a taboo this type of thinking or even actions. In fact it is probably quite hidden.
So I know how it must feel to be with someone that you know and love and in this case the Doctor. And I have respect for him because that he was with you during this time of the tragic death of this little boy in the school.Which I am sure as affected your own thinking and knowing that life is so fragile and in a minute we are here and the next minute we are not here.
So I don't make any judgements on this what so ever and more so for being so far away. But knowing that you love me is very important for me. I have gone through the same experiences as you are going through now.
I have special friends in my life that are very close to my heart. I have enjoyed being with thim when I was close to them in Chile, and in the United States.However being far away from them now makes it different and a time for reflection at times. But my love for each one still continues.
When I met your brother at the Maryknoll language school now two years ago and I was aware of his orientation and he knows that I was keeping my distance from him. It is a policy here in not getting involved with students who are here at the language school for a short period of six weeks or five months.
Your brother was insistant to become my friend. He was very kind and generous with our Maryknoll community here. He was in a situation at San Francisco that wasn't too pleasant and also the experience at his mission assignment Vallegrande wasn't pleasant either.But your brother made many fiends with the students and also with the teacchers as well as some people in this city of Cochabamba and also in his place in Vallegrande.Unfortunately it didn't work out for him and the death of your Father was the turning point in his life and wanting to return home to India so that he could be close to his and your mother.He was thinking of leaving the community in recent months but I feel that Benny is doing fine in his new assignment which is important and also being with a Brother that is a classmate of yours.
These are the thoughts that I want to share with you today, Thursday. The blog is private because it is only to you as you know.
The photo of me is taken by the Charles River in my home town of Boston Massachusetts.
So I deeply appreciate your love for me which is the same for me and my care for you and knowing that you and I are the same when we are thinking about feelings etc. That is a part of our life as Brothers and also knowing that our Brother Jesus is one of true compassion and love for each one of us.your brother,FrankAs you can see that I have changed the name of this blog to "Hello again".
Take a look at my pants to see if I have a big hard cock?? I think you can see it.
