Church’s missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. The needs of the Catholic Church’s missions are

“Marriage is not just one choice among many in a person’s life. It is not a mere contract with another person,
more or less lasting, for an exchange of love and good
times. It is not even merely a “status” that the state assigns to your relationship if you fulfill the legal requirements for entering into marriage. Catholics hold
that marriage is a vocation, a “call.” It is a way of life
that offers continual opportunities to be in loving service to the other. Marriage has a way of calling us to
make this happen, and of making us want it to happen.
It is both a splendid reality and serious business.”
~ Helen M. Alvaré, Esq., “Life Matters: Marriage, the
Sanctuary of Life”, Respect Life Program 2012

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Existe en Perú un mural milagroso de la Pasión de
Jesucristo. Esta imagen reconocida como el Señor de los
Milagros, el Cristo Moreno o el Cristo de Pachacamilla
fue pintada por un angoleño en el siglo XVII para una
cofradía de africanos. A mitad del siglo un fuerte terremoto sacudió a Lima y las paredes de la cofradía se
cayeron, sin que se dañara el mural. Eventualmente la
imagen se reveló como milagrosa para los que oraban
delante de ella.
En la imagen aparece Jesús crucificado. Sobre Él el
Espíritu Santo y el Padre. A la derecha de la cruz está su
Madre con el corazón traspasado por una lanza y a su
derecha, el fiel discípulo amado. Esta imagen es venerada como el Señor de los Milagros. Sin saberlo el
artista angoleño ha pintado una reflexión teológica sobre la divinidad y la humanidad de Jesucristo. En su
pasión redentora Jesús abre las puertas del cielo y de la
comunicación entre el cielo y la tierra, entre Dios y la
humanidad representada por la Madre y el discípulo.
