"The shepherd cannot run at the first sign of danger." -FATHER STANLEY FRANCIS ROTHER Father Stanley Rother was true to his word. He did not run. And he was martyred at the age of 46. Father Stanley arrived in Guatemala in 1968, and he immediately identified with his parishioners' simple, farming lifestyle. He learned their languages, prepared them for the sacraments, and cared for their needs. Father Stanley - or "Padre Francisco", as he was called by his beloved Tz'utujil Indians - had found his heart's calling. After nearly a decade, the violence of the Guatemalan civil war found its way into the peaceful village of Santiago Atitlán. Disappearances, killings, and danger became daily occurrences, but despite this unrest Father Stanley remained hard at work, building a farmers' co-op, a school, a hospital, and the first Catholic radio station, used for catechesis. In early 1981, his name was on a death list, so he returned to Oklahoma and was warned not to go back to Guatemala. But he could not abandon his people, so he went back, and made the ultimate sacrifice for his faith. "Pray for us that we may be a sign of the love of Christ for our people," said Father Stanley, "that our presence among them will fortify them to endure these su fferings in preparation for the coming of the Kingdom." Includes 16 pages of photos.

"El pastor no debe huir a la primera señal de peligro". ~ Padre Stanley Francis Rother El padre Stanley Rother fue fiel a su palabra. No huyó. Y fue martirizado a la edad de 46 años. El padre Stanley llegó a Guatemala en 1968, e inmediatamente se identificó con el estilo de vida, simple y campesino, de sus feligreses. Aprendió sus idiomas, los preparó para los sacramentos y atendió a sus necesidades. El padre Stanley —o "padre Apla's", como lo llamaban sus amados indígenas tz'utujil— había encontrado el llamado de su corazón. Después de casi una década, la guerra civil de Guatemala alcanzó con su violencia al pacífico pueblo de Santiago Atitlán. Las desapariciones, los asesinatos y el peligro se convirtieron en hechos cotidianos, pero a pesar de esta convulsión, el padre Stanley siguió trabajando duro, construyendo una cooperativa de agricultores, una escuela, un hospital y la primera emisora de radio católica, usada para la catequesis. A principios de 1981, su nombre apareció en una lista negra, por lo que retornó a Oklahoma y se le advirtió que no volviera a Guatemala. Pero él no podía abandonar a su pueblo, así que regresó e hizo el último sacrificio por su fe. "Rueguen por nosotros para que podamos ser un signo del amor de Cristo para nuestra gente", dijo el padre Stanley; "que nuestra presencia entre ellos los fortifique para que puedan soportar estos sufrimientos en preparación para la venida del Reino". Incluye 16 páginas de fotos. SOBRE LA AUTORA María Ruiz Scaperlanda es una galardonada autora, periodista y facilitadora de retiros.
