It’s a miracle! We should build a cathedral at that place! Oh. Never mind.

Father Jesus?
My understanding is that the Father is not the Son

It’s a fairly common name in Spanish speaking cultures. I believe when referring to Jesus the son of God, most Hispanics would say “Jesuchristo” not “Jesús,” so it just doesn’t seem as odd to be named after him as long you don’t have the Christ part in it.
Traditionally, parents would name their child after the saints day they were born upon (or around). A child born on march 19th would be called “José” or “Josefina.” A child born on December 25th would be called “Jesús.” There was a feminine form that has apparently fallen out of favor so a girl might be called “Maria Jesús” today.
You know “Joshua” is just an English variant of “Yeshua,” right?

Wow that is so interesting, I did not know that. I just checked, and sure enough, a certain Jose I know has a birthday in March.Falco Knotwise wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 7:15 pm

Yeah, I had a conversation at work one time with a hispanic friend, and a discussion came up (I probably brought it up) about how most Hispanic names are from the Bible. Then I remarked that in English culture nobody gets the name Jesus accept Jesus! He’s the one who told me they had a different way of referring to Jesus than we do.RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 9:09 pmWow that is so interesting, I did not know that.

I've had several Hispanic students named Jesus. It's a common name.

I found the article both encouraging and touching. Fr Jesús completely committed to helping this woman in her distress. He stayed with her and used 911 help to deliver those twins. He saved the second twin by breaking the amniotic sac and following instructions to get the infant breathing. Then visited them in the hospital. Bravo!

.. Father Mariscal texted the couple he was supposed to meet for marriage preparation.
“I’m sorry I’m late for our appointment. I was just helping a lady deliver twins,” he wrote.
They responded, assuming it was a joke to excuse his tardiness, “LOL Father. You don’t have to lie.” ..
