TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

With the dissipation of the catechumenate’s energy since almost everyone was born into the

Church, Lent began to be seen more as a preparation to follow the Passion of Christ with devotion. In the city of Rome, creative spirits settled on “stational churches” as a way of keeping the energy flowing.

Everyone would be directed to a certain “station” each day, and the name of that church provided a theme for the liturgy. So, for example, on certain Saturdays in Lent, everything centered on the church of St. Vitale. Now, this poor fellow had been thrown into a hole and covered in stones at his martyrdom, so the readings recalled Joseph thrown down the well by his brothers, and the wicked servants killing the son of the owner of the vineyard. Gradually, travelers to Rome noted

the celebration and worked it into liturgical schedules back home. Eventually, calendars everywhere bore the curious footnote on a Lenten Saturday: “Station S. Vitale.” This served the priority of getting ready to

hear the Passion fairly well, but was hardly satisfactory for Lent’s baptismal character. Now, at last, our liturgy is reorganized to serve the deepest level of our tradition exceedingly well. Lent, once

again, is all about baptism.

to condemn the world,

but that the world might be saved

through him.

RAISED UP BY THE MESSIAH

Last week, when Jesus referred to the destruction of the temple, the account from today’s first reading is what would have come to the minds of his listeners. But, as Jesus was speaking on a deeper level, so does today’s first reading. In the first paragraph we hear that Israel had, in effect, “fallen” already through its infidelity to the covenant. Lest we get too cozy, this account reminds us that God, though just, loving, and merciful, is capable of punishing sin when that sin is unrepentant. But we are also reminded that God, rich in mercy, anoints individuals to be vessels of salvation as well (in Hebrew, King Cyrus of Persia is called “messiah”). In the Gospel reading, we hear of another Messiah being

“lifted up” for our salvation in one of the best-known passages from the New Testament. As Lent concludes and we enter Holy Week, we need to keep our gaze steadfast upon the cross of Christ, the Son of God who

came into the world to raise us who had fallen.

GOD UPHOLDS ME

I take for my sureties: The power of God to guide me, the might of God to uphold me, the wisdom of God to teach me, the eye of God to watch over me, the ear of God to hear me, the word of God to give me speech, the hand of God to protect me, the way of God to go before me, the shield of

God to shelter me.

Chrism Mass at St. Paul Cathedral March 24, 2015

Dear Friends:

Everyone is welcome to come to our upcoming Chrism Mass at St. Paul Cathedral. It takes place on Tuesday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. This is a beautiful liturgy where oils for the sick and the cat-echumens as well as the oil of Sacred Chrism are all blessed. I would especially encourage you to bring people from your Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults process since those being baptized and confirmed will see the oils we use for their Easter Sacraments blessed at the Chrism Liturgy. My gratitude to Monsignor Ecker as well as the hard working Cathedral staff and Cathedral choir who are preparing for this wonderful liturgical celebration.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Los cato licos en general y los latinoamericanos en particular, somos muy dados al uso de ima genes y sí mbolos religiosos para acercarnos a Dios o para sen-tirnos ma s cerca de e l. En realidad el cristianismo en-tero es así , gracias a la encarnacio n del Hijo de Dios. Hay quienes critican el uso de ima genes, pero recorde-mos que Jesu s uso ima genes para explicar co mo es Dios. En el Evangelio de Juan (3:14) Jesu s recuerda que Moise s habí a hecho uso de ima genes para sanar a los hebreos.

En Nu meros 21:4-9 Dios le pide a Moise s que haga una serpiente de bronce y la levante en alto de tal for-ma que los hebreos puedan verla. Muchos de ellos ha-bí an sido mordidos por serpientes en el desierto y al ver la imagen de bronce sanaban, gracias a Dios. El pueblo de Israel se quedo con la imagen. No obstante, con el paso del tiempo olvidaron que era so lo una ima-gen y comenzaron a adorarla hasta que el rey Eze-quí as se vio en la necesidad de destruirla (2 Reyes 18:4). Las ima genes pueden ser u tiles para recordar-nos la presencia y misericordia de Dios, pero no per-mitamos que se conviertan en í dolos.

LEVANTADOS POR EL MESÍAS La semana pasada, cuando Jesu s se referí a a la destruccio n del Templo, el relato de la primera lectura de hoy es lo que les hubiera venido a la mente a sus oyentes. Pero, dado que Jesu s estaba hablando en un sentido ma s profundo, así tambie n debemos entender la primera lectura de hoy. Escuchamos en el primer pa rrafo que Israel en efecto ya habí a “caí do” a causa de sus infidelidades contra la alianza. Para no ponernos demasiado co modos, este relato nos recuerda que Dios, aunque justo, amoroso y misericordioso, es capaz de castigar el pecado cuando es un pecado no arrepentido. Pero tambie n nos recuerda que Dios, rico en misericordia, unge a individuos para que sean a su vez instrumentos de sal-vacio n (en hebreo al Rey Ciro de Persia se le denomina “mesí as”). En la lectura del Evangelio, escuchamos de otro Mesí as que debe ser “levantado” por nuestra salvacio n, en uno de los pasajes ma s conocidos del Nuevo Testamento. Al termi-nar la Cuaresma y entrar en la Semana Santa, debemos mantener nuestra mira-da fija en la cruz de Cristo, el Hijo de Dios que vino al mundo para levantarnos a todos los que habí amos caí do.
