New Webpage for University of Havana on Its 280th Anniversary
Havana, Dec 26 (acn) A new webpage dedicated to the 280th anniversary
of the foundation of the University of Havana will be able for internet
surfers as of Wednesday.
Milagro Martinez, executive secretary of the organizing committee of
the activities to mark the anniversary, told ACN that the new website
(www.uh.cu/280) will include details of the activities that will be
held on this occasion and other historic data as well as information on
the current situation and perspectives of the education center.
The website also includes statistics of graduates and current students
and information about outstanding national personalities who have
studied at the University of Havana and about the active participation
of the student movement in the struggle for national independence.
It will also include information about the increase in the number of
careers studied at the university - which is currently 90 - compared to
the seven that were studied at the Royal and Pontifical University of
Saint Jeronimo, as it was initially called when it was founded on
January 5th, 1728.
Martinez said that one of the activities that will take place to mark
the anniversary will be a workshop in which Havana Historian Eusebio
Leal will give a conference on the historicity of the University of
Havana.

concluded that her longings for death were not well regulated. After
this she often put it to herself, which she should choose, whether to
live or to die, to be sick or to be well; and she found she could not
tell, till at last she found herself disposed to say these words: I am
quite willing to live, and quite willing to die; quite willing to be
sick, and quite willing to be well; and quite willing for any thing that
God will bring upon me! And then, said she, I felt myself perfectly
easy, in a full submission to the will of God. She then lamented much,
that she had been so eager in her longings for death, as it argued want
of such a resignation to God as ought to be. She seemed henceforward to
continue in this resigned frame till death.
After this, her illness increased upon her: and once after she had
before spent the greater part of the night in extreme pain, she waked
out of a little sleep with these words in her heart and mouth; "I am
willing to suffer for Christ's sake, I am willing to spend and be spent
for Christ's sake; I am willing to spend my life, even my very life, for
Christ's sake!" And though she had an extraordinary resignation with
respect to life or death, yet the thoughts of dying were exceeding sweet
to her. At a time when her brother was reading in Job, concerning worms
feeding on the dead body, she appeared with a pleasant smile; and being
asked about it, she said, It was sweet to her to think of her being in
such circumstances. At another time, when her brother mentioned the
danger there seemed to be, that the illness she labored under might be
an occasion of her death, it filled her with joy that almost overcame
her. At another time, when she met a company following a corpse to the
grave, she said, it was sweet to her to think that they would in a
little time follow her in like manner.
Her illness, in the latter part of it, was seate

846. First objection: "An angel from heaven. We must not judge of truth by
miracles, but of miracles by truth. Therefore the miracles are useless.
Now they are of use, and they must not be in opposition to the truth.
Therefore what Father Lingende has said that "God will not permit that a
miracle may lead into error..."
When there shall be a controversy in the same Church, miracle will decide.
Second objection: "But Antichrist will do miracles."
The magicians of Pharaoh did not entice to error. Thus we cannot say to
Jesus respecting Antichrist, "You have led me into error." For Antichrist
will do them against Jesus Christ, and so they cannot lead into error.
Either God will not permit false miracles, or He will procure greater.
Jesus Christ has existed since the beginning of the world: this is more
impressive than all the miracles of Antichrist.
If in the same Church there should happen a miracle on the side of those in
error, men would be led into error. Schism is visible; a miracle is visible.
But schism is more a sign of error than a miracle is a sign of truth.
Therefore a miracle cannot lead into error.
But, apart from schism, error is not so obvious as a miracle is obvious.
Therefore a miracle could lead into error.

us do penance to see if peradventure He will pity us." And thus mercy is so
far from authorising slackness that it is on the contrary the quality which
formally attacks it; so that instead of saying, "If there were no mercy in
God we should have to make every kind of effort after virtue," we must say,
on the contrary, that it is because there is mercy in God that we must make
every kind of effort.
498. It is true there is difficulty in entering into godliness. But this
difficulty does not arise from the religion which begins in us, but from the
irreligion which is still there. If our senses were not opposed to
penitence, and if our corruption were not opposed to the purity of God,
there would be nothing in this painful to us. We suffer only in proportion
as the vice which is natural to us resists supernatural grace. Our heart
feels torn asunder between these opposed efforts. But it would be very
unfair to impute this violence to God, who is drawing us on, instead of to
the world, which is holding us back. It is as a child, which a mother tears
from the arms of robbers, in the pain it suffers, should love the loving and
legitimate violence of her who procures its liberty, and detest only the
impetuous and tyrannical violence of those who detain it unjustly. The most
cruel war which God can make with men in this life is to leave them without
that war which He came to bring. "I came to send war," He says, "and to
teach them of this war. I came to bring fire and the sword." Before Him the
world lived in this false peace.

479. If there is a God, we must love Him only and not the creatures of a
day. The reasoning of the ungodly in the Book of Wisdom is only based upon
the nonexistence of God. "On that supposition," say they, "let us take
delight in the creatures." That is the worst that can happen. But if there
were a God to love, they would not have come to this conclusion, but to
quite the contrary. And this is the conclusion of the wise: "There is a God;
let us therefore not take delight in the creatures."
Therefore all that incites us to attach ourselves to the creatures is bad;
since it prevents us from serving God if we know Him, or from seeking Him if
we know Him not. Now we are full of lust. Therefore we are full of evil;
therefore we ought to hate ourselves and all that excited us to attach
ourselves to any other object than God only.
480. To make the members happy, they must have one will and submit it to the

481. The examples of the noble deaths of the Lacedaemonians and others
scarce touch us. For what good is it to us? But the example of the death of
the martyrs touches us; for they are "our members." We have a common tie
with them. Their resolution can form ours, not only by example, but because
it has perhaps deserved ours. There is nothing of this in the examples of
the heathen. We have no tie with them; as we do not become rich by seeing a
stranger who is so, bu
