Con lo único que muestro mi desacuerdo es que el Concilio admite en una Cuba democrática el Partido Comunista tenga la posibilidad de gobernar. Después de cincuenta y tantos años de llevar al desastre a la nación -en todos los sentidos- está demostrado que no tienen capacidad para dirigir ni la casa de cada uno de ellos.

Santiago de Cuba, 8 de agosto de 2010: Mons. Dionisio Gracía Ibañez, arzobispo de Santiago de Cuba, presidió la misa de inicio de la Peregrinación Nacional de la imagen de la Virgen Mambisa (réplica de la imagen de la Virgen de la Caridad de antigua devoción venerada en el templo de Santo Tomás de la ciudad de Santiago de Cuba). La solemne eucaristía fue concelebrada por casi todos los obispos cubanos (sólo no estuvo presente el Cardenal Jaime Ortega Alamino), y decenas de sacerdotes venidos de distintas diócesis cubanas; diáconos, religiosas y religiosos de distintas congregaciones y cientos de laicos (llegados desde Pinar, La Habana, Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Camagüey, Ciego de Ávila, Holguín, Guantánamo, Matanzas, Granma, Santa Clara… y desde otras partes del mundo) para como hijos de nuestra Madre María de la Caridad despedirle, al comienzo de su peregrinar por tierras cubanas, camino que inició hoy en El Cobre y terminará en la Ciudad de La Habana el 10 de diciembre del año 2011.

 En su homilía Mons. Dionisio García recordaba que estábamos allí para pedirle al Señor que haga crecer los frutos de nuestro trabajo evangelizador, mirando a la Virgen María quien como Madre y primera discípula supo en su vida ponerse siempre al servicio de los demás… María que cuando va al encuentro de su prima Isabel lo hace llevando y presentando a su Hijo, como hace hoy con nosotros. Ella siempre muestra a su Hijo, único Salvador y Principe de la Paz. Más adelante enfatizaba que cada cristiano debe, allí donde está: la escuela, el trabajo, el estudio, la política, la cultura, la familia, ser portador de ese mensaje de reconciliación y de paz.

El lema que nos ha movido a lo largo de este tiempo de gracia y preparación nos da la clave para vivir el andar de la imagen de la Virgen Mambisa por nuestros pueblos, poblados, bateyes, ciudades, parroquias… decía Mons. Dionisio. A Jesús por María, porque ella nos lo presenta, y su vida es ejemplo a imitar para encontrarnos con Jesús, que es Dios y hombre verdadero… La Caridad nos une, porque sólo desde el amor es posible sanar y cambiar, perdonar y reconciliar; quizás, decía el Obispo, por haber estado la devoción a la Virgen de la Caridad tan en el alma de nuestros mambises, al finalizar nuestras guerras de independencia no fue el odio y la venganza lo que prevaleció sino el perdón.

Ya al término de la eucaristía, fueron llevados a los pies de la imagen de la Virgen Mambisa ofrendas que encerraban toda Cuba, toda la nación cubana. Allí quedaron la Cruz de la Parra tabaco, maderas preciosas, imágenes de nuestras ciudades, obras de artistas plásticos, instrumentos musicales, flores, velas… allí llegó Cuba, que la vuelve y llama, generación tras generación, REINA Y PATRONA, pero la sabe por sobre todas las cosas MADRE… Y al son de VENERACIÓN, terminó la misa y comenzó el andar de María de la Caridad por la patria.
