Naturaleza alegre
Me hace reír
la gota que ahorras.
¡Tiempo de actuar!


Naturaleza triste
Me haces llorar
la gota que arrojas
¡Tiempo de actuar!

(Haiku, 2018)

Welcome Spring - Bienvenida la primavera

Welcome Spring with Haiku  


Spring and Easter are associated with new beginnings, rebirth, growth and life. The days are longer, the earth is blooming, and everything awakens. 


In 2023, spring equinox (also called the March equinox or vernal equinox) falls on Tuesday, March 21. This event marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the South Hemisphere.

The word equinox comes from the Latin words for “equal night”—aequus (equal) and nox (night). On the equinox, the length of day and night is nearly equal in all parts of the world. With the equinox, enjoy the increasing sunlight hours, with earlier dawns and later sunsets.

~Flowers Bloom~
Blossom hue flowers
Sing, shine, smell, smooth and flavor
Spring is welcoming!

~Spring Wind~
Cold, balmy, warm, hot
Is Spring forthcoming your way?
Tell me silly earth!

~Blue Sky~

In the deep blue sky
Colorful birds fly and sing
Making earth happy
(Haiku@2016 by Maritza M. Mejia)

La Primavera y La Pascua están asociados con renacimiento, nuevos comienzos, crecimiento y vida. Los días son más largos, la tierra florece y todo despierta.

En el 2023, el equinócio de primavera (también llamado equinócio de marzo o equinócio vernal) cae el martes 21 de marzo. Este evento marca el primer día astronómico de primavera en el hemisferio norte y otoño en el hemisferio sur.

La palabra equinoccio proviene de las palabras latinas para "igual noche": equus (igual) y nox (noche). En el equinoccio, la duración del día y la noche es casi igual en todas las partes del mundo. Con el equinócio, disfrute de las horas de luz solar cada vez mayores, con amaneceres más tempranos y puestas de sol posteriores.

World Poetry Day - Día Mundial de la Poesía

World Poetry Day is on March 21.st. It was declared by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1999. The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout the world. 


For more information, visit :👉 http://www.un.org/en/events/poetryday/


"The observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, to promote the teaching of poetry, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity."

Celebra el día de la Poesía          

El Día Mundial de la Poesía es el 21 de marzo. Fue propuesto en el año 1999 por la Unesco.  El propósito de la jornada es promover la lectura, escritura, publicación y enseñanza de la poesía en todo el mundo. 

La UNESCO lanzó al mundo el siguiente comunicado para avalar la conmemoración del día mundial de la poesía al instituir ese legado para el mundo:
«Es evidente que una acción mundial a favor de la poesía daría un reconocimiento y un impulso nuevo a los movimientos poéticos nacionales, regionales, e internacionales. Esta acción debería tener como objetivo principal sostener la diversidad de los idiomas a través de la expresión poética y dar a los que están amenazados la posibilidad de expresarse en sus comunidades respectivas.» Unesco

St. Joseph - San José

Each year on March 19th, many families prepare a table or altar in honor of Saint Joseph, Patron Saint of the poor. This year is celebrated on March 20th as not to take the place of the Lenten Sunday Linturgy. 

This image contains one of the oldest prayers to St. Joseph, dating back to the year 50 AD.

St. Joseph, pray for us! 🙏

 Why is Saint Joseph the patron Saint of the poor? 

We know little about Saint Joseph, but his humble carpenter remains us  of poor salary and humble life. (Matthew 13:55).

Who is St. Joseph? 
Everything we know about Saint Joseph comes from the Bible. He was the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. Despite his humble work, Joseph came from a royal lineage from David, the greatest king of Israel (Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38).
The circumstances of Joseph's death are not known, but it is likely that he died before Jesus’ ministry began and before Jesus’ Crucifixion (John 19:26-27).
What is the meaning of St. Joseph's Table?
This day parishes observe the three practice of Lent: pray, fast, and alms-giving by preparing a simple meal and the money raised is given to the poor.

FELIZ SOLEMNIDAD DE ST. JOSEPH
La fiesta de San José es el 19 de marzo, pero este año se celebra el 20 de marzo para no ocupar el lugar de la liturgia cuaresmal del domingo.

San José es el máximo ejemplo de humildad, confianza y fe en Dios. Es el patrón de las familias, padres, madres embarazadas, viajeros, carpinteros e ingenieros, entre otros.
