About the AuthorFr. Alberto Reyes is a Catholic priest assigned to a seminary and group of parishes near Camagüey, Cuba. This is what I want to teach children, that difficulties cannot be bargained with. That we either beat them or they beat us. And not only do we have to face our problems, but problems are overcome easier if we face them together. About the AuthorFr. Alberto Reyes is a Catholic priest assigned to a seminary and group of parishes near Camagüey, Cuba. There's one thing that makes me really proud of my people. We are a people who have decided that difficulty is a challenge and not a disgrace. And just as we face hurricane after hurricane, we get up, over and over again, reinvent ourselves, outperform ourselves and refuse to die. But like every virtue taken to the extreme, there’s a flip side to the coin. And the flip side is that the Cuban people, absorbed in the constant fight for survival, have become unable to pause for a moment to consider why we continue to live like this and are unable to say: Enough Already. A Summary of the Chronicles
Upon my return to Cuba from my studies in Madrid in August 2009, I left behind many dear people with whom I had the firm intention of continuing to stay in touch regularly. However, soon it became clear to me that there weren’t enough hours in the day to allow me to correspond individually with everyone. As a result, the "Caribbean Chronicles" were born, where I summarized my daily life as a priest in Cuba. |
