by Rey Mella A story of coincidence. I missed the March 2 homily and a good portion of Fr. Jojo Magadia’s talk for a personal reason. The following morning, I checked my emails and got a very nice email from www.guidelines.org, actually sent on Friday “about criticism, distortion and isolation… often used techniques to discredit and smear us, and to quiet our voice of dissent, all in the practice of our faith, in proclaiming the Gospel and in living our convictions.” It gives us bullets on how to fight back …... I memorized a line from that email and at breakfast, I told my family, listen to this: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!” And, my wife and daughter said: “That’s exactly what Fr. Jojo said last night!” God seems to be rubbing in the need for us to act.

To prepare for his role as dictator Idi Amin in the 2006 film The Last King of Scotland, Oscar Best Actor, Forrest Whitaker, gained 50 pounds, learned to play the accordion, and immersed himself in research. He read books about Amin, watched news and documentary footage, and spent time in Uganda meeting with Amin's friends, relatives, generals, and victims; he also learned Swahili and mastered Amin's East African accent.
An excerpt from his acceptance speech, “And finally, I want to thank my mom and my dad. I want to thank my wife Keisha, my children, my ancestors, who continue to guide my steps. And God, God who believes in us all. And who's given me this moment, in this lifetime, that I will hopefully carry to the end of my lifetime into the next lifetime. Thank you.”

Not sure Forrest would be meeting Mr. Amin in the after-life. They may be in different places. Maybe Whitaker will see Gump. Or perhaps, Tom Hanks?
