Hagamos penitencia

Abstract

The image contains a news article on issues related to Lent and religious practices. It criticizes some customs and religious teachings of the time, highlighting the unnecessary nature of reviving certain practices and the abundance of religious fables. It also underlines the importance of penitence and questions those who do not practice it properly. The devastating effects of war and revolution are also discussed, mentioning the fighting and its consequences, such as the precision of the projectiles. The invasion of pests—locusts, mosquitoes, and bedbugs—is also addressed as inevitable punishments. Finally, the text reflects on resignation in the face of these events and considers them to be atonements sent from heaven. News published in El Correo Nacional on March 7, 1895.
