Sympathy for the Devil and to Next Year in Cuba...
By Carlos Espinosa
On Christmas Eve 1978, as my great grandfather was in his final stage of life, we were gathered at my cousin's house in Chicago. Most of the family was there, at least those of us living in exile. I remember because that was the winter the great blizzard hit the Windy City shortly after we left.

The Rules Don't Apply to Me

The Golden Trumpet
By Br. Gustavo Kralj, EP
With the consummation of the Sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ, death was put to death and Light vanquished the darkness, in the supernatural realm.
