‘
There is a story about two tribes in the Andes that were at war. One tribe lived in the lowlands and the other high in the mountains. The mountain people invaded the lowlanders one day, and as part of their plundering, they kidnapped a baby. The lowlanders didn’t know how to climb the mountain. They didn’t know any of the trails that the mountain people used, and they didn’t know where to find the mountain people or how to track them in the steep terrain. Even so, they sent out their best party of fighting men to climb the mountain and bring the baby home. The men tried first one method of climbing and then another. They tried one trail and then another. After several days of effort, however, they had climbed only several hundred feet. Feeling hopeless and helpless, the lowlander men decided that the cause was lost, and they prepared to return to their village below. As they were packing their gear for the descent, they saw the baby’s mother walking toward them. She was coming down the mountain and she had the baby strapped to her back. How could that be? One man greeted her and said, “We couldn’t climb this mountain. How did you do this when we, the strongest and most able men in the village, couldn’t do it?” She shrugged her shoulders and said, “It wasn’t your baby.” (Meir Liraz, The 100 Top Inspirational Anecdotes and Stories.) This week we celebrate Mother’s Day. This is an important day because our mother was the one who first loved us, even before we were born. She was the one who answered our cry in the middle of the night. She never made us doubt that we were a valuable person with so much to offer. She dried our tears, and joined in our dreams, and worried about us when we didn’t have enough sense to be worried about our self. My mother had fourteen children, eight boys and six girls. When my baby brother was born, my mother was 45 years old, and one of the nurses came in to visit and told her, “I always visit the older mothers, because usually they are depressed to have a child at their age.”
My mother often told us that she told her, “This is my fourteenth child, and I’m just as happy to have him as I was to have the first.” This Mother’s Day I think of some of the valuable lessons my mother taught her children. She taught us that God was an important part of daily life. We began each day saying the Morning Offering before breakfast, entrusting all we did that day to God. If we complained about something, we were reminded that we should offer it up for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. We ended every day gathering with our parents to recite a decade of the rosary before the little ones went off to bed. My mother taught us to be focused on what is truly important. We did not have many possessions, and we were not encouraged to miss what we did not have. We lived in the country and raised our own food and entertained our self outside playing games or taking hikes. We learned about loving and sharing with others by the way we lived together in our small house. She kept us involved in church activities and looked for ways for us to help a neighbor who needed us. Our mother was gentle, and patient and full of good humor. She would talk one minute with one of her sons about batting averages, and the next be helping one of her little girls fix her hair. It is hard to imagine all the obstacles faced by my mother as she cared for a baby, and tended to a sick child, and washed mountains of clothes and fed an army every day! But, she accomplished such wonderful things. Dorothy Rose Dieter Bierschenk had no idea what a powerful influence for good she was bringing to the world. But, she continues to be reflected in the faith and values lived out each day by her children and their children and grandchildren. Our prayer is that every mother will know how much she is loved and appreciated and how precious she is to her family, not just on Mother’s Day, but every day. No one else loves us like our mother, and she makes our world a wonderful place. May God surround her with his love and blessings!

Hay una historia acerca de dos tribus en los Andes que estaban en guerra. Una tribu vivía en las tierras bajas y la otra en lo alto de las montañas. Un día La gente de la alta montaña invadió a los habitantes de las tierras bajas, y como parte de su saqueo, secuestraron a un bebé. Los habitantes de tierras bajas no sabían cómo subir a la montaña. No sabían que cualquiera de los senderos que usaba la gente llegaba a la cima de la montaña, y no sabían dónde encontrarla. No encontraban a la gente de la montaña ni cómo hacer un seguimiento de ellos en el terreno escarpado. Aun así, enviaron su mejor partida de hombres para subir la montaña y llevar al bebé a casa. Los hombres trataron primero subir con el método de escalada y luego otro. Intentaron un camino y luego otro. Después de varios días de esfuerzo, solo habían subido algunos cientos de metros, se sintieron desesperanzados y desamparados, los hombres de la montaña de abajo decidieron que la causa se había perdido, y se prepararon para regresar a su aldea. A medida que empacaban sus prendas para el descenso, vieron a la madre del bebé caminando hacia ellos con él bebe atado a la espalda y bajando la montaña. ¿Cómo pudiste hacer esto, cuando nosotros los más fuertes y capaces no pudimos hacerlo? Ella se encogió de hombros y dijo, "no era su bebé." (Meir Liraz, las 100 mejores anécdotas e historias inspiradoras.) Esta semana celebramos el Día de la madre. Este es un día muy importante porque nuestra madre fue quien nos amó primero, aun antes de haber nacido. Ella fue quien contestó nuestro grito en medio de la noche. Ella nunca nos hizo dudar de que éramos una valiosa persona con mucho que ofrecer. Ella seco nuestras lágrimas, y se unió en nuestros sueños, se preocupó por nosotros cuando no teníamos el suficiente sentido común para estar preocupados acerca de nuestro propio ser. Mi madre tenía 14 hijos, ocho chicos y seis chicas. Cuando mi hermano más pequeño nació, mi madre tenía 45 años, y una enfermera vino a visitarla y le dijo, "Yo siempre visito a las madres de mayor edad, porque generalmente están deprimidas por tener un hijo a esta edad." a menudo, mi madre nos dijo que ella le contesto, "Este es mi 14º hijo, y estoy tan feliz de tenerlo que pensé que iba hacer el primero".

Este Día de la madre creo en las valiosas lecciones que nos enseñaba mi madre. Ella nos enseñó que Dios era una parte importante de la vida diaria. Empezábamos cada día ofreciéndolo antes del desayuno, encomendándolos a Dios. Si nos quejábamos de algo, se nos recordaba que debíamos ofrecerlo por las almas del purgatorio. Terminábamos cada día reunidos con nuestros padres para rezar el rosario de una decena antes de que los más pequeños se fueran a la cama. Mi madre nos enseñó a estar centrados en lo que es realmente importante. No teníamos muchas posesiones, y no se nos animaba a pedir lo que no necesitábamos. Hemos vivido en el rancho y hemos plantado nuestra propia comida, hemos jugado en nuestro mundo, hemos participado en excursiones y caminatas. Hemos aprendido acerca del amor y compartir con los demás por la forma en que hemos vivido juntos en nuestra pequeña casa. Nuestra madre nos mantuvo involucrados en actividades de la Iglesia y buscó las maneras para ayudar al vecino que nos necesitaba. Nuestra madre fue amable, paciente y llena de buen humor. Hablaba con cada uno de sus hijos por un minuto, desde los promedios de bateo con un hijo hasta ayudar el arreglar su cabello a una hija. Es difícil imaginar todos los obstáculos enfrentados por mi madre que cuidaba de un bebé, atender a un niño enfermo, montañas de ropa que lavar, ¡y un ejército que alimentaba cada día! Pero, ella consiguió tales cosas maravillosas. Dorothy Rose Dieter Bierschenk no tuvo idea de la poderosa influencia en sus que ahora lo reflejan en el mundo. Ella continúa reflejándolo en la fe y los valores que vivió por sus hijos y sus hijas y sus nietos. Nuestra oración para cada madre la hace saber cuánto ella es amada y apreciada, cuán preciosa es para su familia, no sólo en el día de la madre, sino cada día. Nadie nos ama como nuestra madre, ella hace de nuestro mundo un lugar maravilloso. ¡Que Dios las bendiga y rodee con su amor y bendiciones!
