Legend of the Aspen: A legend or a fable is a story that doesn’t pretend to be historical, but simply teaches a lesson. The event surrounding the suffering and death of Christ gave rise to many legends.
The aspen tree was tall and straight and very strong and vied with other trees to be the most stalwart of trees.
When the executioners were looking for wood to make a cross, they passed by the aspen and went first to other trees. But these wouldn’t allow themselves to be used for such a thing. When the axe struck the first, the tree crumbled into thousands of splinters. The second tree did the same. Finally, the men turned to the aspen. It proudly permitted itself to be cut down without breaking into pieces.
Thus, it came to be that its wood was used for the cross on which Jesus was to be crucified. Only afterwards did the aspen realize its tragic role in the death of Christ. Ever since, the leaves of the aspen tree never cease to tremble, even when there seems to be no breeze. [1]
A relationship of faith and commitment exists between the Catholic Church and its members and the public, whether they are children, young people, adults or elderly. Sexual abuse in this context, or any other relationship, is a matter of grave concern. Knowledge of such abuse requires a special response in order to facilitate the healing process and assure the safety of the community. With this in mind, the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee is committed to healing the hurting hearts of sexual abuse victims. This diocese has established Victim Assistance Coordinators who are experienced and trained counselors. These coordinators are available to help persons who have been sexually abused by a priest, deacon or other church personnel. VICTIM ASSISTANCE COORDINATORS: Louis M.
