Kathryn Benham<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy la hija mayor de mi familia, y tengo cinco hermanas menores. Mi hermano solo estuvo tres semanas en este mundo e intercede por nuestra familia desde su lugar en la comuni\u00f3n de los santos. Como mi padre no pudo andar hasta los doce a\u00f1os, tuvo que lidiar con muchas discapacidades f\u00edsicas a lo largo de su vida.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yo era fuerte y ten\u00eda ganas, as\u00ed que mi padre y yo trabajamos juntos en muchos proyectos. \u00c9l cri\u00f3 a sus seis hijas para que fueran mujeres cari\u00f1osas, fuertes e independientes. Para \u00e9l, las mujeres pod\u00edan so\u00f1ar con ser lo que quisieran. Esas primeras experiencias me marcaron profundamente tanto de ni\u00f1a como de joven. Sin embargo, aprend\u00ed muy pronto que esas mismas ideas no se compart\u00edan en la Iglesia.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mis dos padres iban a misa todos los d\u00edas y yo iba con ellos. Todav\u00eda recuerdo estar sentada en el banco cuando era peque\u00f1a, sintiendo una silenciosa envidia hacia los <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chicos<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> del altar que estaban ah\u00ed delante, cerca del altar, m\u00e1s cerca de lo que a m\u00ed nunca me dejaron estar. Algunos de esos chicos siempre se met\u00edan en l\u00edos en la clase, y a menudo me preguntaba: <\/span><b><i>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 ellos pod\u00edan estar ah\u00ed arriba y yo no?<\/i><\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Todav\u00eda recuerdo el momento en que recib\u00ed la Eucarist\u00eda en la mano por primera vez; de verdad pens\u00e9 que estaba en el cielo. <\/span><b>Llevo toda la vida anhelando este momento en la Iglesia: por fin estamos dialogando y discerniendo acerca de la posibilidad de que haya mujeres di\u00e1conas.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En mi vida como religiosa consagrada, he sido profesora de primaria, directora de Educaci\u00f3n Religiosa y responsable de varios ministerios. He preparado a un mont\u00f3n de ni\u00f1os y adultos para los sacramentos. He dirigido servicios de comuni\u00f3n, incluso el Jueves de la Ascensi\u00f3n, cuando el sacerdote no lleg\u00f3. He atendido a enfermos en hospitales y en sus casas, y he dirigido las oraciones de despedida junto a la tumba para familias en duelo. He impartido retiros y soy directora espiritual titulada. <\/span><b>En todos los sentidos pr\u00e1cticos, tengo un coraz\u00f3n de servidora, un coraz\u00f3n diaconal.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lo largo de mi trayectoria, he escuchado a mujeres predicar, y siempre me digo a m\u00ed misma: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n dice<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">que las mujeres no pueden predicar?\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Por desgracia, he visto c\u00f3mo los dones de las mujeres se han infrautilizado o se han ignorado por completo debido a los celos, al clericalismo o a cualquier otro obst\u00e1culo que se les haya puesto en el camino.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Por todo esto, me siento profundamente animada por <\/span><b>los dos Foros Phoebe para hermanas religiosas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> que ayud\u00e9 a organizar y dirigir junto con otras nueve personas de diferentes congregaciones y \u00e1mbitos de la vida. <\/span><b>Participaron unas 150 hermanas y eso me da mucha esperanza. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Me alegra que el Papa Le\u00f3n siga escuchando y que el innovador texto del p\u00e1rrafo 60 haya surgido del S\u00ednodo como ense\u00f1anza magisterial oficial, afirmando expl\u00edcitamente que la cuesti\u00f3n del acceso de las mujeres al ministerio diaconal sigue abierta y que este discernimiento debe continuar.<\/span><\/p><p><b>No s\u00e9 si vivir\u00e9 para ver la ordenaci\u00f3n de las primeras di\u00e1conas, pero estoy encantada de formar parte de este di\u00e1logo hist\u00f3rico.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Es una verdad fundamental que nadie puede detener la obra del Esp\u00edritu Santo.
