TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Long ago, a signet ring was an essential part of the wardrobe of influential people. A letter or document would be sealed with hot wax, and a signet ring pressed into the wax would affirm the origin of the document. In the case of the pope, at least from the thirteenth century, the ring was used to seal public documents with hot lead, saving the red wax for private letters. The public documents were called bullae after the Latin name for the lead stamp, and we still call them “papal bulls.” It is not surprising, therefore, that a signet ring has long been bestowed as part of the inauguration of a pope. The ring is called the Pescatorio, or “Ring of the Fisherman.” It reminds the wearer of his link with Peter, and his responsibility to continue the apostolic ministry of “fishing for human beings.” Until 1842 it actually functioned as a signet ring. Now, each pope receives a new gold ring at the beginning of his ministry. It goes on the fourth finger of his right hand and bears some fisherman design, usually St. Peter casting nets from a boat, as well as the pope’s name in Latin. A custom that endures for the pope, but not so much for bishops, is for people being introduced to him to kiss the Pescatorio as a sign of respect for his teaching authority. Another enduring custom is for the ring to be smashed and defaced at the pope’s death, originally a way of preventing counterfeit deathbed documents.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El otro día leí un artículo escrito por un pastor bautista sobre la necesidad de tener un altar en casa para educar a nuestros hijos en la fe y la oración. Lo leí con interés ya que el uso del altarcito tiene una larga historia en la Iglesia católica. En casa de mis abuelos paternos, en México, había un bello altarcito en forma de pirámide que contenía flores, velas y figuras de Jesús, María y algunos santos. Además de esto estaban también algunos instrumentos de oración como el rosario, la Biblia y algún otro libro de oración. También en casa de mi abuela materna, en Texas, había un rinconcito sagrado. Muchos latinos tenemos altarcitos familiares. Algunos son verdaderos altares como el de mi abuela, Mamá Lilia. Otros son rincones especiales como el de Mamá María, con alguna imagen y libro de oración y fotografías de nuestros parientes. A fin de cuentas no importa ni su tamaño ni su forma. Importa su existencia y sobre todo su uso para recordarnos de la presencia e importancia de Dios en nuestros hogares y familias.

EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy familiar por el refrán “Señor, date prisa en socorrer-me”. La historia de Jeremías hoy y el refrán “¡Señor, date prisa en socorrerme!” nos recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos para seguir el llamado de Dios. El autor de la Carta a los Hebreos también lo sabía. Él recordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos agobien desgracias y pecados, podemos todavía perseverar si mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, quien también conoció la vergüenza y el dolor de la cruz, pero vio más allá del sufrimiento, el go-zo de sentarse a la derecha del trono de Dios. Jesús mismo dio a sus discípulos una “idea” de un bau-tismo que no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que inauguró su ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las pala-bras de la Sagrada Escritura hoy pueden no ser terrible-mente apaciguadoras, pero en su honestidad y fortaleza podemos reconocer las dificultades que el discípulo enfren-ta a diario, y consolarnos por la seguridad de nuestra salva-ción en Cristo.

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: La Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María Martes: San Esteban de Hungría Viernes: San Juan Eudes Sábado: San Bernardo

Our Parish has a wonderful Bereavement Team that is available when a loved one dies.

Please contact the Parish Office for more information and we will put you in contact with a member of the Bereavement Team.

The initials RCIA stand for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is the rite by which the Catholic community welcomes adults into the Catholic Church. It is for the un-baptized, those baptized in another faith & Catholics who have been baptized but have not received the sacraments of Eucharist & Confirmation. If you are interested or know of someone who is, please contact Kathy Powers at 619-420-9193 ext. 106.
