Luke 6:37
“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:”
 
 John 8:7
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

Me: -Tell me Copilot, which is the difference between: "Let's stand firm ON our faith" and "Let's stand firm IN our faith"?

COPILOT: -Great question, Jorge! While both expressions are meaningful and closely related, they carry slightly different nuances:

"Stand firm ON our faith" suggests that faith is the foundation upon which we stand. It's like a solid ground or platform that gives us stability and strength. This phrasing emphasizes faith as a dependable base for our actions, decisions, and resilience.

Example: We stand firm on our faith as the unshakable rock that keeps us steady in times of trouble.

"Stand firm IN our faith" emphasizes being immersed or rooted within the sphere of faith. It implies living actively within the principles and beliefs of faith, with a sense of commitment and belonging.

Example: We stand firm in our faith by holding true to its teachings and walking faithfully in its light.

Both express steadfastness, but one focuses more on faith as a foundation (on), while the other highlights living and remaining within its embrace (in). I hope this helps clarify the difference! 😊✨

En un día del hombre están los días
del tiempo, desde aquel inconcebible
día inicial del tiempo, en que un terrible
Dios prefijó los días y agonías
hasta aquel otro en que el ubicuo río
del tiempo terrenal torne a su fuente,
que es lo Eterno, y se apague en el presente,
el futuro, el ayer, lo que ahora es mío.
Entre el alba y la noche está la historia
universal: Desde la noche veo
a mis pies los caminos del hebreo,
Cartago aniquilada, Infierno y Gloria.
Dame, Señor, coraje y alegría
para escalar la cumbre de este día.




 
 The showdown at Tara in 980 was like the Super Bowl of ancient Ireland. Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, the Irish MVP, faced off against the Norse Vikings, who had set up their Viking HQ in Dublin. Long story short: the Irish won, and the Vikings got their helmets handed to them. This wasn’t just any win—this was the one that signaled the Vikings were losing their grip on Ireland and the Gaelic Irish were back in the game. After the dust settled, Norse leader Glúniairn (also known as Járnkné, which probably sounded much cooler back then) had to admit defeat and officially acknowledge Máel Sechnaill as the High King of Ireland. And it wasn’t just a “you win, good game” situation—Glúniairn had to agree to pay up and follow Gaelic rules like a proper guest.
But wait, there’s a twist: despite the Irish win, Dublin got its official start as a Norse city in 988. Turns out, the Gaelic and Norse weren’t just enemies; they were frenemies. Dublin, originally a Viking hotspot, ended up becoming a major trading hub where these two groups mixed things up. Thanks to the peace treaty between Glúniairn and Máel Sechnaill, everyone calmed down enough for Dublin to thrive as a booming market and cultural hub. So, Dublin’s rise to city status shows that even back then, when cultures clash, sometimes they also cash in—together!

Dulcehe

Dulcehe fue una princesa del reino indígena de Quepo, ubicado en la actual Costa Rica, a orillas del océano Pacífico. Era hermana del Rey Corrohore. En 1563 fue raptada por una nación enemiga, la de los coctu o cotos. Algunos historiadores han planteado la posibilidad de que en la familia real de Quepo imperase un sistema matrilineal y que por ello el rapto tuviese connotaciones políticas, ya que posiblemente el linaje regio debía transmitirse a la descendencia de Dulcehe.


En 1563, al llegar a Quepo el Alcalde Mayor Juan Vázquez de Coronado, hizo una alianza con Corrohore. Con base en esta alianza, los españoles atacaron el

palenque-fortaleza donde los coctu tenían cautiva a Dulcehe y lograron vencerlos y rescatar a la princesa.


Posteriormente Dulcehe fue bautizada con el nombre de Doña Inés e hizo vida marital con el capitán portugués Antonio Álvarez Pereyra, uno de los pri ncipales co nquistadores de Costa Rica, con el que tuvo varios hijos, llamados Don Juan, Don Gaspar, Doña Juana y Doña Inés Álvarez Pereyra. Prácticamente no existe ninguna otra noticia de Dulcehe.


Errores frecuentes

En algunas publicaciones del siglo XX se atribuye a Dulcehe la condición de esposa del Rey Garabito, que fue capturada por los españoles junto con dos de sus hijos; pero los documentos de la época que mencionan el hecho no se refieren al nombre de la reina cautiva ni la identifican con la princesa de Quepo. El error surgió posiblemente del hecho de que la reina y sus hijos fueron capturados por el capitán Álvarez Pereyra, compañero marital de la princesa Dulcehe. Inexplicable, en cambio, es el error, también consignado en fuentes del siglo XX, de decir que Dulcehe era "sobrenombrada la Biriteca" .Las biritecas eran las mujeres guerreras que existían en el pueblo de los coctu, precisamente los que tuvieron cautiva a Dulcehe.
