My Penitente LandThis unusual book, Fray Ang lico Ch vez's personal meditation on his cultural heritage, is also a kind of spiritual autobiography of the Hispano people of New Mexico.

This unusual book, Fray Ang lico Ch vez's personal meditation on his cultural heritage, is also a kind of spiritual autobiography of the Hispano people of New Mexico. The spirit of New Mexico, he feels, grows out of its dry mountain terrain whose hills and valleys resemble those of Spain and of ancient Palestine. Just as this kind of landscape helped the Hebrew shepherd Abraham to find his God, so in Fray Ang lico's view, have New Mexico's mountains kept her people close to their God. In evoking this special closeness between the divine and the human, the author returns repeatedly to the Penitentes of New Mexico-the societies of men who scourge themselves and replay the Crucifixion each Holy Week to share the sufferings of their Savior. Some of his ideas will spark controversy over the meaning of New Mexico's past, but Fray Ang lico Ch vez's viewpoint, representing that of many native Spanish Americans, deserves the attention of every reader with an interest in the state's Hispanic heritage. No one can read this book without gaining a new understanding of the world of the New Mexican Hispano imbedded in the dry, hilly landscape of the majestic Sangre de Cristo mountains. FRAY ANG LICO CH VEZ has been called a renaissance man and New Mexico's foremost twentieth-century humanist by biographer Ellen McCracken. Any way you measure his career, Fray Ang lico Ch vez was an unexpected phenomenon in the wide and sunlit land of the American Southwest. In the decades following his ordination as a Franciscan priest in 1937, Ch vez performed the difficult duties of an isolated backcountry pastor. His assignments included Hispanic villages and Indian pueblos. As an army chaplain in World War II, he accompanied troops in bloody landings on Pacific islands, claiming afterwards that because of his small stature, Japanese bullets always missed him. In time, despite heavy clerical duties, Fray Ang lico managed to become an author of note as well as something of an artist and muralist. Upon all of his endeavors one finds, understandably, the imprint of his religious perspective. During nearly seventy years of writing, he published almost two dozen books. Among them were novels, essays, poetry, biographies, and histories. All true aficionados of the American Southwest's history and culture will profit by collecting and reading the significant body of work left to us by the remarkable Fray Ang 1ico Ch vez.

Reliable sharps container.
Solid, reliable sharps container for home use. The lid locks securely and gives peace of mind, especially with kids around. It’s sturdy, holds a good amount, and doesn’t take up much space. Exactly what I needed, simple and safe.

Size matters
Have a nice container that can holds a lot but not so tall and skinny like most to the point that their top heavy and tip over. I feel like this one has the balance between being large without taking a too much space and also holding a lot

Large capacity, Sturdy construction
Size: 2 Gallon, Unit Count: 1.0
Very large capacity. Strong plastic construction. I use an auto injector once a week. This container will probably last me a year, yet it will easily fit in the sharps. Disposal receptacle in town.
