In Peru, the 14 villages of Chazuta, in Moyobamba, are all located away from the city center, with the most remote only accessible by boat. The faithful in these communities do not have Access to catechetical formation, and members often feel separated from the life of the universal Church. Through a grant from the Collection for the Church in Latin America, the religious congregation of the Missionaries of Jesus was able to provide faith formation, spiritual retreats, and workshops to nearly 250 people. Upon completion, participants were better equipped to help others deepen their faith and answer questions. The program also renewed their sense of commitment to their parishes and created stronger bonds within their own families Through this program, members of the Chazuta village felt the love and support of the universal Church. Please support programs like these and give generously in next week’s collection. For more information, please visit www. Usccb.org/latin-america.

Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina La próxima semana realizaremos la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina. En Perú, los 14 pueblos de Chazuta, en Moyobamba, están ubicados lejos del centro de la ciudad y los mas remotos son accesibles solo por barco. Los fieles en estas comunidades no tienen acceso formación catequética y los feligreses con frecuencia se sienten separados de la vida de la Iglesia universal. Mediante una donación de la Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina, a la congregación religiosa de los Misioneros de Jesús le fue posible brindar formación en la fe, retiros espirituales y talleres a casi 250 personas. Al completar el programa, los participantes estaban mejor capacitados para ayudar y responder a sus preguntas. El programa también sirvió para renovar su sentido de compromiso con sus parroquias y crear vínculos mas solidas dentro de sus propias familias. Por medio de este programa, los feligreses de los pueblos de Chazuta sintieron el amor y el apoyo de Iglesia universal. Por favor, de su apoyo a programas como estos y contribuya generosamente en la colecta de la próxima semana. Para mas información, por favor, visite www.uscb.org/latin- america.

Pg. 5 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although our tradition carries a long memory of marriage as a sacrament, it may surprise you to learn that for nearly eleven centuries, there was no single wedding ceremony approved for use in the Church. While we have evidence of priests blessing marriages as early as the second century, in the early period church leaders relied on civil authorities to manage marriage for everyone in society. In most cases, society yielded its authority to sanction marriage to the male heads of households. From ancient times, marriage had been a family affair, managed by the father of the family, who acted as priest and guardian of family tradition. Each head wanted to keep the family gods alive, and so he would arrange for brides for his sons, paying a “bride price” as compensation for the loss of a skilled household worker. As creepy as that sounds, it was a step up from the kidnapping practice of earlier years. Even after the kidnapping raids stopped, the customs remained. Every wedding contained the ritualized kidnapping of the bride, the husband abducting his bride from the festivities, carrying her over the threshold to prevent her father’s gods from following her into her new religion. There, he fed her a piece of “sacred cake,” initiating her into a new way of life. It’s fascinating to see how customs endure, long after we have completely rejected the values and attitudes they originally expressed! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1502 el fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en la República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españoles con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin les hacer fuerza alguna”. Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está coronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la primera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesucristo a nuestras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
