Si sólo en esta vida esperamos en Cristo, somos los más miserables de los hombres todos. (San Pablo, I, Corintios, XV, 19)

Ahora que el obispo de la diócesis de Renada, a la que pertenece esta mi querida aldea de Valverde de Lucerna, anda, a lo que se dice, promoviendo el proceso para la beatificación de nuestro Don Manuel, o mejor San Manuel Bueno, que fue en ésta párroco, quiero dejar aquí consignado, a modo se confesión y sólo Dios sabe, que no yo, con quédestino, todo lo que sé y recuerdo de aquel varón matriarcal que llenó toda la más entrañada vida de mi alma, que fue mi verdadero padre espiritual, el padre de mi espíritu, del mío, el de ángela Carballino.

it is extremely difficult to read because it is very archaic Spanish, has a lot of religious vocabulary and archaic grammar. I can be approximate but not perfectly accurate.

If we all wait for Christ in this life only, then we are the most miserable men of all.
Now that the Renada's Dioceses Bishop, which is part of this, my dear Valverde de Lucena village, is trying (that is what people is saying) to promote the beatification process of our Don Manuel, or better said, Saint Good Manuel.......

I have 14 pages of it to read.....and I have only two years of Spanish....thank you so much for your help. - sunshinzmommie, Feb 26, 2010
also could be Saint Manuel Bueno (bueno is a last name as well as an adjective for good) - juluque, Feb 26, 2010

being priest in this village, I want to say for the record here, in a confession mode and only God knows, not me, all I know and remember from that matriarchal male, that fill all the intimate life of my soul, that he was my truly spiritual father, the father of my spirit, the spirit of mine, the Angela Carballino's

I guess she is trying to say that the priest that the Bishop wants to promote for beatification (to become a saint) is her biological father, but in a very subtle manner because church prohibit sex to its members.
