"I am so hoping that now that Minerva has found a special someone, she'll settle down. I mean, I agree with her ideas and everything. I think people should be kind to each other and share what they have. But never in a million years would I take up a gun and force people to give up being mean."

"El Jefe" wasn't just a physical entity; rather, the Dominican people considered it a metaphysical force that could be conjured up by simply thinking a non-approved thought. "God and El Jefe" was also a brutal fact. Some influential religious leaders in the Dominican Republic were subdued and seduced by Trujillo in instances. Trujillo would pluck adolescent blond, blue-eyed females from Catholic boarding schools like...

I believe what it is illustrated by this reference has to do with the concept of who will be welcome in the Father's kingdom. This reference is found in various passages of Matthew.

the crown of thorns is used to compare the suffering of jesus for our sins and patria's suffering to see her son in such pain. mary watched her son suffer and die, just as patria watches her son suffer. that is patria's "crown of thorns," her suffering, for the movement. jesus suffered for our sins, patria suffered for the movement.

when jesus says he has to be about his father's business, it talks about the time he was in jerusalem during the passover and his parents left him. they found him in the synagogue and scolded him for not being with them, but he just told them that it was time he had to be about his father's business in spreading the Word of God, the Good News.
