My first thought was now he has met His maker.
One year ago on November 25, 2016 Fidel Castro died. My first thought was now he has met His maker.
A year after Fidel Castro's death his dark legacy lives on
in a forever-changed Cuba. He destroyed
a vibrant republic physically, spiritually and economically.
Fidel Castro’s legacy is different things to different
people.
For those who look at him through the lens of idealism Fidel
Castro is and will always be the utopian king of the world.
For those of us who know and lived the beast he is many
things, but if I had to choose one thing
to be Fidel Castro’s legacy, it
would be the destruction and tearing apart of families and stable
governments.
After Castro stole the Cuban Revolution, Castro made it
clear his goal was to tumble stable governments all over the world and to impose
communism. He not only destroyed the
republic of Cuba and the Cuban family but his footsteps are all over Latin
America, Africa, Asia and even the Middle East.
So many families torn apart. So
much loss, so many tears. Only the truth seekers will venture to find
out.
Ironically, this year we mark one century (1917-2017) of
communism. One hundred years of madness,
a madness that is still going on. Communism killed more than one hundred
million people and Fidel Castro played and continues to play a role in the
madness.
Now you may ask, what legacy did Fidel Castro want to leave
the world?
It will be impossible to talk about the Twentieth Century
without talking about Fidel Castro. That’s
what he wanted, to be part of history.

Glad to see that my blog is reaching a wider international audience.
I'm specially touched that I'm reaching readers from former Eastern Block countries. You and your loved ones suffered so
much under the iron fist. I hope you will consider reading Lights Out and that you will tell family and friends about it.

Excerpt from LO, St. Teresa de Avila
"I had an unforgettable experience the day that I saw the statue of Saint Teresa in the back bedroom of Teresita's house. Fidel's laws prohibited religious practice outside of a church building, so the statue was hidden in a corner behind an armoire...................the wind was tunnellike, and I could feel it............it was fast despite its gentleness........"

NEWS RELEASE

GROWING UP CATHOLIC IN FIDEL CASTRO’S 1960s
CUBA
Castro is dead, but his dark legacy lives on in
a forever-changed Cuba. Just how changed
is revealed in Dania Rosa Nasca’s just released book, Lights Out: A Cuban Memoir of Betrayal and Survival.
Nasca
was born in 1958 in Holguín, the City of Parks, Oriente, Cuba, the year the
Cuban Revolution drove Batista from power. She was given a front-row seat to
Fidel Castro’s betrayal of the Cuban people, his hijacking of the Cuban
Revolution, and his persecution of the Catholic Church. When she was twelve, she and her family
immigrated to the United States through a US-sponsored Freedom Flight.
Lights
Out
captures a child happily living the last remnants of traditional Cuban culture
and then a child trying to make sense of the world changing around her while
climbing the rail-less stairs of San Isidoro’s bell tower to prepare in hiding for
her First Holy Communion—all while Fidel was waging a war to stamp out
religion, self-reliance, dignity, joy, and hope, especially in Cuban children. Lights Out is a window into true Cuban
history and into the life of a people trying to live their Catholic Faith in
Fidel Castro’s totalitarian Cuba.
