Prayers for you. This weekend I am preaching about respect for human life at all masses. I am sharing Asis Gabriel’s story, as well as this photo. He continues to proclaim the Gospel of life! “On those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.”

Dear Michelle,
I am not surprised that God chose you to be lil’ Asis’s Mother. He knew he was choosing a woman with the most beautiful, kind, generous, devoted, loving heart. God also knew how much goodness and love would spread in the short time you had with your precious son. This gift continues to grow and impact our lives each day. What a legacy your little one has left for us! I am so proud of you and admire your strength and courage. My heart goes out to you and your husband.
Love and prayers, God Bless
( Father Josh’s Mom)

Para Asís y Michelle López (padres de Baby-Asís Gabriel )

Hola, Mi Querida Sandrita:
Hoy estuve en una misa de Resurrección, en la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, y un almuerzo seguido en la Iglesia de Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús (The Little Flower), viviendo una experiencia única. Sí, porque un bebito llamado Asís Gabriel López, nació el día de la Guadalupana, y ese mismo día lo bautizaron, por temor a que se fuera sin bautizar.

Verás, Asís ... era el hijito de unos primos de mi nuera Jackie: Daddy Asís y Mommy Michelle . Cuando lo esperaban, el doctor les informó que el pequeñito venía con problemas, pero ellos valientemente decidieron por la vida del bebé, y esperaron el día de su nacimiento, entregados a Dios en oraciones.

Le nombraron, ASÍS GABRIEL, honrando al humilde santo San Francisco, y a su padre y abuelo; y al Arcángel San Gabriel, patrono de comunicadores, ángel de la Anunciación, de la muerte, la resurrección y de la misericordia. Mensajero divino encargado de anunciar los planes y acciones de Dios para la humanidad. Así bautizaron a su querubín ese 12 de Diciembre de 2018. La ciencia les aseguraba en un 90% de que Asís no llegaría a su primer año. Sin embargo, falleció el 25 de Enero, 2019, apenas seis semanas después, pero estuvo rodeado no solo de aparatos, procedimientos e instrumentos y de personal médicos, sino de mucho amor, de toda su familia y amigos, como deberían ser rodeados todos los niños no importa cómo hayan nacido.

Hoy sentada durante la misa, luego de ver al pequeño Asís en su cajita diminuta, pensé mucho en tí, mi princesita Sandra y todo lo que he vivido contigo en estos largos 38 años, pero sobre todo desde hace 16 meses con tu gravedad, en hospitales y en casa. Aquellos valerosos padres mostraron una entereza que solo Dios puede dar... Sus palabras al final de la misa mezcladas con algunas lágrimas fueron inspiradoras... Y ese padre leyó de un libro de su padre a la vez..... Se me quedó una frase, con la que lastimosamente concordamos casi todos, "Lo más bello que le puede pasar a un ser humano, es ver nacer a un hijo, y lo más terrible, es perderlo."

Todos abrazamos y saludamos a padres y abuelos, tíos, familiares y amigos, al final de la misa. Y nos dirigimos a la otra Iglesia, donde se hicieron oraciones antes de un rico almuerzo ofrecido por esos padres y abuelos. Vimos un lindo video de todos estos días de Asís Gabriel. Allí repartieron unos libritos llamados, "Los Momenticos" pues su padre escribía cada día una reflexión. Me hizo recordar mis reportes "Cruzada por Sandra" desde el hospital cuando estuviste casi 4 meses, y estuviste al borde de la muerte en tres ocasiones.

Sobre las mesas habían pequeños floreros, con ramitos de "Baby Breath" (Aliento de bebé, una florecita blanca sencilla), y figuras de cartón con estrellas, y nubes. No puedo olvidar la corona de flores en la Iglesia de la misa, en forma de dos alas de Ángel. Firmamos libros y escribimos mensajes para ellos, para sus padres... Allí vimos el Certificado de Bautizo del pequeño angelito. Todo era una celebración de su vida, una vida intensa resumida en apenas 6 semanas. .. Pero llena de oraciones y de amor, que se triplicaba con cada visita al bebé, y que nos llenó aún hoy en la misa y el compartir con ellos, entre las palabras y las lágrimas. ¡Qué grande es Dios!! pensé en silencio.

Mas, luego, entre aquella multitud, callada y llena de emociones pensaba en la misa de tus quince años en esa parroquia, y todo lo que compartimos con todos.... Y en medio de mis pensamientos, diviso a una pequeña (Valentina), sentada en una silla de ruedas. ""Se parece a mi niña, me dije" y me acerqué donde estaba. La cuidaban su mamá (Fiorella) , y otra amiga. Acaricié el cabello de la chiquilla, adornado por un gran lazo, y ella reía y movía las manitos inquietas, y se las metía en la boca. La amiga le sonaba una maraca que le gustaba escuchar a Valentina.... "Tengo una hija de 38 años con Sindrome de RETT, '' le dije a la madre. Fiorella respondió, "'mi hija tiene la Enfermedad atípica del RETT. Es de otro gene, pero es RETT" dijo enseguida . Les dejé mi tarjeta, para que me llamaran y pudieran adquirir mi libro sobre ti, mi querida Sandra. "Mi Cruz llena de Rosas: Cartas a Sandra mi Hija Enferma" sigue realizando la misión de Dios.

Igual que un día asistí a una fiesta de quince, y me dije que tu tendrías una celebración aunque fuera diferente a las demás, y fue una misa en Acción de Gracias por tu vida, en esa misma Iglesia de Little Flower, hoy confirmé mis planes, para que el día que Dios te llame, hacer una celebración de tu vida, con flores, globos, música y oraciones de alabanza y gratitud a Dios por ser un Padre Tan Bueno.

Sí, Sandra, tu vas conmigo en mi corazón y en mi mente a todas partes, como lo estará Baby-Asís en la mente y el corazón de sus padres y abuelos para siempre....porque mi amor por tí, es inmutable, sin límites y para siempre. MIs oraciones siempre están para todo el que lo necesite, Sandra... Porque tú me has enseñado a amar mucho más.

Hoy que no se aprecia la vida, me doy cuenta que los ángeles vienen en diferentes formas para cumplir la misión de Dios en la tierra.

I met Asis Gabriel on Thursday, January 24th 2019. I was alongside Michelle, a married couple whose names escape me, the nurse who cared for him, and a young lady named Lindsay, who gingerly held Asis Gabriel in her arms. Asis Sr. was dealing with an unexpected car accident and verbalized a genuine need for a scotch upon his return, his wife however was at ease, her countenance revealing an expression of peace. I on the other hand was clueless and on the verge of tears, but simultaneously amazed by Michelle's demeanor, which settled my angst. I gazed intently at the child as Lindsay helds him tenderly, singing softly and absorbed in the miracle of his existence. I dared to caress one of his feet, and felt a wave of emotion arise; his tiny breathes reverberating in my mind, reminding me that life was shining through. Michelle proceeded to bathe him, a memory that will remain permanently etched in my mind and heart. Every crevice of his body was stroked and cared for; he basked in the warm water and nearly urinated on the people within range. At this juncture, my heart was swelling with joy, sadness and gratitude. Sentiments that culminated upon the arrival of Asis Sr who quickly divulged details of the accident, poured me a Glenn Levit and immersed himself in the beautiful undertaking of rinsing and drying his son, replacing his diaper, and bundling him up in so thorough a manner that Asis Gabriel resembled a salchicha of sorts. The latter was my favorite part of the evening, I was speechless and moved by the outpouring of love that I was blessed to witness. The announcement of his death grieved me deeply, but the tangible love that preceeded it serves as a foretaste of the perpetual love that never fades, a love he is currently tasting, and a love that awaits us all in the person of Jesus. I love you Asis Gabriel, thank you for your life!
