Humberto, originally from Irapuato, in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico He received priestly ordination on July 27 Due to complications his condition got worse to the point of damaging his retina and causing him to lose his sight completely "I’d been losing my eyesight for nine years and for the last seven years I’ve had no vision at all," he says his life experience has focused him more on the spiritual side "It has made me more sensitive to those who suffer The priest confesses that at the beginning his loss of sight was very difficult for him He was angry and unwilling to submit to God's will “I wouldn’t say that I’ve already overcome this human attitude of aversion towards suffering,” he admits "but we must recognize its divine meaning." looking at his situation coldly and from the human point of view his life has lost meaning "because I have become isolated Sometimes I feel discriminated against by my brother priests "I have won more souls for God without sight he is in charge of a parish and hasn’t been impeded from celebrating Mass He has an assistant who stands next to him during the Eucharist to read from the Missal for him the liturgy team reads the Gospel and he gives the homily And although there are ministers to assist him Umberto understands that many people go through the same suffering as he does He hopes that they will be encouraged by having a priest who shares and understands their experience He concludes by saying that "it’s a very difficult situation as if you had lost a friend or a loved one a person with a disability cannot move forward."

British and American colonial troops led by English admiral Edward Vernon failed to take Cartagena in 1741 see a video of a vessel found near Cartagena that could have been sunk in 1741 to block a British invasion An international team of archaeologists has found a shipwreck that may be connected to one of the most important naval battles in Latin American history The vessel, a Spanish warship built in the early 18th century, may have been intentionally sunk in 1741 during the Battle of Cartagena de Indias, an upset Spanish victory during the War of Jenkins’ Ear a battle with Great Britain for economic control of the Caribbean The battle has long been a cultural touchstone in Colombia which has celebrated the valiant Spanish defense Found in some 16 feet (5 meters) of water off the coast of Cartagena, Colombia Large portions of the ship’s bottom are mostly intact its wooden beams almost perfectly protected from looters and undersea life by layers of sediment unrivaled opportunity to study 18th-century shipbuilding especially if it is what they think it is,” says Jennifer McKinnon an underwater archaeologist at East Carolina University who isn’t involved with the excavation Spain-built vessels in the New World are rather rare.” The find also marks an important milestone for Colombian archaeologists who are taking unprecedented steps to study and preserve the site “This discovery is very important, but its cultural significance is much higher,” says Carlos del Cairo, an underwater archaeologist and head of Colombia’s Fundación Terra Firme of ‘Cartagena the Heroic,’ that defended itself against the British to the last.” Cartagena—now Colombia’s fifth-largest city—was a slave port and strategically crucial outpost for Spain’s Caribbean naval presence The fortified town sat at a junction of ocean currents and trade winds allowing Spanish ships to dominate the region’s trade routes NG MAPSAfter Great Britain declared war on Spain in 1739 Cartagena quickly became the British forces’ top target Admiral Edward Vernon soon embarked with what was then the largest transatlantic amphibious fleet ever assembled: a massive train eventually totaling some 150 ships carrying 8,000 British soldiers and 4,000 reinforcements from the American colonies the largest contingent the colonies ever had sent from the mainland “It started off in Britain with the idea that this would be an easy victory,” says Richard Harding a naval historian from the University of Westminster But taking Cartagena would prove more vexing than Vernon ever expected, in large part because of Blas de Lezo the Spanish general in charge of the town’s defenses or “Half Man”—literally had given life and limb for his country When Lezo and Vernon first faced each other in battle in 1704 a musket shot took his right hand and forearm By the time the British arrived in Cartagena in March 1741 charged with defending the city with only six ships the British had already minted medals commemorating Lezo’s defeat Lezo decided to sink his ships at the narrow entrances to Cartagena’s harbor to impede the incoming British The barricade didn’t hold forever; the British eventually got into the harbor and even tried to use one of Lezo’s ships as a makeshift battering ram the sunken ships and Cartagena’s formidable fortifications bought Lezo time Vernon’s men soon began to fall ill with yellow fever and other tropical diseases a situation only worsened by the British fleet’s meager supplies “I think it surprised the British tremendously.” The unexpected victory not only cemented Spanish dominance in the Caribbean until the Seven Years’ War; the heroism of Blas de Lezo and his forces also became celebrated and central to Colombia’s cultural heritage Blas de Lezo stood his ground until the bitter end,” says Cairo making him “one of these characters who has enormous cultural and historical value The battle also glancingly affected U.S. history. Lawrence Washington, one of the surviving colonists, later named his family’s estate after his commanding officer, giving rise to Mount Vernon—the homestead of Lawrence’s more famous half-brother the Spanish general who oversaw Cartagena’s defenses One of Lezo’s many nicknames was Almirante Patapalo—Admiral Pegleg In addition to the vessel’s wooden structure, dives to the site have yielded fragments of ceramic, metal, glass, and ballast, all of which are consistent with an 18th-century ship of Spanish make. Though more analysis is necessary to verify the ship’s association with the 1741 battle, the site’s alignment with historical maps—and signs that the ship may have burned before sinking—suggest that the vessel may be the San Felipe, among the largest of the ships that Lezo sunk. “It’s like a puzzle [with] many clues,” says Cairo. The site’s ongoing management signifies a landmark collaboration between the Fundación Terra Firme and a vast array of Colombian government institutions, all of which are working toward an eventual plan to excavate and protect the shipwreck. “It’s perhaps the first site that’s been developed in Colombia with these characteristics,” says Ernesto Montenegro, an underwater archaeologist and the director of ICANH. “This is a step forward for Colombian archaeology.” The unprecedented effort is striking to Cairo’s colleagues, who hail from across Latin America. “Maritime archaeology is just getting started in Colombia,” says Cristian Murray, an Argentine archaeologist collaborating with Cairo. “But nowadays, it’s beginning mightily.” Sonar and magnetometer sweeps detected anomalies on the seafloor within the Bocachica (“small mouth”) entrance to the harbor which turned out to be the ship."},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html23","cntnt":{"mrkup":"In addition to the vessel’s wooden structure dives to the site have yielded fragments of ceramic all of which are consistent with an 18th-century ship of Spanish make Though more analysis is necessary to verify the ship’s association with the 1741 battle the site’s alignment with historical maps—and signs that the ship may have burned before sinking—suggest that the vessel may be the San Felipe among the largest of the ships that Lezo sunk."},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html24","cntnt":{"mrkup":"“It’s like a puzzle [with] many clues,” says Cairo."},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html25","cntnt":{"mrkup":"The site’s ongoing management signifies a landmark collaboration between the Fundación Terra Firme and a vast array of Colombian government institutions all of which are working toward an eventual plan to excavate and protect the shipwreck."},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html26","cntnt":{"mrkup":"“It’s perhaps the first site that’s been developed in Colombia with these characteristics,” says Ernesto Montenegro an underwater archaeologist and the director of ICANH “This is a step forward for Colombian archaeology.”"},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html27","cntnt":{"mrkup":"The unprecedented effort is striking to Cairo’s colleagues who hail from across Latin America."},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"html28","cntnt":{"mrkup":"“Maritime archaeology is just getting started in Colombia,” says Cristian Murray an Argentine archaeologist collaborating with Cairo it’s beginning mightily.” "},"type":"p","style":{}},{"id":"inline-5","cntnt":{"aspectRatio":"3x2","cmsType":"photogallery","id":"inline-5","media":[{"caption":{"credit":"Photograph by Richard Hewitt Stewart National Geographic","text":"Archaeologists study a colossal Olmec stone head in La Venta Mexico in this 1947 National Geographic photo offers valuable clues into the development of the rest of the region Archaeologists study a colossal Olmec stone head in La Venta The Stones of Stenness is a Neolithic monument in Orkney, Scotland dating from around 3000 BC.
