KEEP PRAYING
St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is often
known as “the persistent mother.” She watched her oldest
son, Augustine, turn his back on his Christian faith.
Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up talking
directly to her son on the advice of a local bishop, who told
her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine then to
Augustine about God.
The mother never gave up praying for her son. Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was baptized, and later
ordained and named bishop of Hippo. St. Augustine went on
to become one of the Church’s greatest scholars.
Today’s readings address the
importance of persistent prayer.
Abraham, in spite of trepidation that
he is bothering the Lord, continues
to ask about the fate of Sodom and
Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel,
tells his disciples to “ask and you
will receive; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to
you” (Luke 11:9). This is our charge:
keep praying.

Sometimes when bishops are consecrated,
they are not given the care of a diocese as an
“ordinary.” A very old tradition, however, assures that they are invested with a “see,” a link
with a local church. Many hundreds of places
around the world were dioceses at one time, but
are no longer. In England, for example, some of
the historic dioceses such as London, Salisbury,
and Manchester ceased to be Catholic at the
Reformation and their cathedrals passed to the
Church of England. The reestablishment of the
Catholic Church in the nineteenth century
meant that new dioceses had to be created, such
as at Liverpool and Westminster. Similarly, in
Scandinavia the ancient Catholic dioceses vanished under Lutheranism. In North Africa, tiny
dioceses disappeared under the sands or were
swept away by Islam.
In the United States, some original dioceses
never really developed as population centers,
such as the old dioceses of Bardstown, Vincennes, Sault Ste. Marie, or Walla Walla. The
tradition of “titular sees” assures that the ancient churches are always held in prayer, as the
bishop celebrates Mass in its memory a few
times a year.

Por siglos, Latinoamérica ha desarrollado una larga
tradición religiosa con mitología espléndida. La palabra
“religión” del verbo latín religere significa “atar” o
“enlazar”. Su función es unir seres humanos, los unos
con los otros, con lazos de caridad y justicia. Una vez
enlazados en comunidad, la religión los une al poder
divino que rige el universo.
Entre las culturas andinas se encuentran mitos religiosos que muestran la importancia de este enlazamiento. Según la mitología Inca el universo esta compuesto
por tres mundos: el cielo (Janan pacha), la tierra (Cay
pacha) y el bajo tierra (Ucu pacha). Estos tres mundos
están unidos por dos grandes serpientes, Yacú-mama
(ríos) y Sacha-mama (árboles), símbolos de la fecundidad.
Muchos piensan que los mitos son leyendas cuya
función es el entretenimiento. En realidad los mitos no
son fábulas, son historias que explican la verdad profunda del universo. Nos muestran como unirnos y enlazarnos para vivir una vida fecunda. En esta época de secularización, los cristianos no podemos olvidar ni la religión ni la mitología si queremos dar fruto como Jesús
nos lo pide.
SIGUE REZANDO
Santa Mónica, cuya fiesta celebramos en agosto, se
conoce generalmente como “la madre persistente”. Ella
vio como su hijo mayor, Agustín, le daba la espalda a su
fe cristiana.
Mónica estaba exasperada. Durante años se dio por
vencida de hablar directamente a su hijo siguiendo el consejo de un obispo de la región que le dijo que era mejor
hablar con Dios sobre Agustín que con Agustín sobre
Dios.
La madre nunca dejó de rezar por su hijo. Finalmente,
Agustín abandonó su rebeldía, fue bautizado y luego ordenado y nombrado obispo de Hipona. San Agustín se convirtió en uno de los eruditos más importantes de la Iglesia.
Las lecturas de hoy destacan la importancia de la oración persistente. Abraham, a pesar de temer molestar al
Señor, continúa preguntándole sobre el destino de Sodoma y Gomorra. Jesús, en el Evangelio según san Lucas, le
dice a sus discípulos “pidan y se les dará, busquen y encontrarán, toquen y se les abrirá” (Lucas 11:9). Esta es
nuestra tarea: seguir rezando.
LA MARCA DEL HACEDOR
Si las cosas creadas están tan llenas de hermosura, ¡cuán esplendoroso ha de ser el Creador! La
sabiduría del Obrero se hace presente en su obra.
—San Antonio de Padua
