Saint Joseph Parish TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Toward the end of the second century, a churchman in North Africa, Tertullian, described an early form of penance. Imagine if it had survived! There were three steps to this very public ritual. The unfortunate sinner was brought before the community in an itchy garment of goat’s hair. The communities of the day were small and intimate, and everyone knew everyone else. The shame of exposure for a big sin—murder, idolatry, or adultery—would have been profound. The penitent would beg the community for prayers of intercession, and then go sit in a place assigned to penitents. After this public confession, the penitent would be assigned some discipline, usually a relatively severe fast, or the wearing of distinctive garb. This remedy for sin was for a certain period of time, or at least until the bishop (every small community has its own bishop) judged that enough was enough. Then the person would be readmitted to the eucharistic community, although Tertullian doesn’t tell us how. Probably the bishop tenderly placed his hands on their heads, precisely where they were anointed at baptism. We do know that the readmission of penitents to the eucharistic table became in some churches a great celebration, and there are records from Spain of bishops leading penitents in a dance-like processional into the eucharistic hall on Holy Thursday. —Rev. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Jesús dice a sus discípulos: “Les aseguro que no quedará sin recompensa el que les dé de beber un vaso de agua por el hecho de que ustedes pertenecen a Cristo” (Marcos 9:41). De esta manera Jesús muestra ser un buen judío. Existe una vieja tradición hebrea que relata que Dios premia no sólo a sus santos, los profetas, sino también a los discípulos del santo, y a quienes ayudan y alimentan a los profetas o sus discípulos. Así mismo, Dios abre las puertas de su generosidad con los santos y quienes de una manera u otra están relacionados con dicho profeta. Nuestro Dios es un Dios generoso, por tal motivo, ama a quien da con alegría. Los cristianos somos receptores de la generosidad del Dios de Israel, ya que éste no nos negó a su propio Hijo. Desde el principio del cristianismo la generosidad de tiempo, talento y dinero han sido la señal palpable de nuestro amor fraterno. Jesús promete que esta generosidad será premiada en esta vida y en la vida eterna. Seamos generosos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. ’TIS THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE The Shaker hymn describes a circular journey from innocence to innocence with characteristic brevity: ’Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free. ’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be. This journey is easier sung about than done. It takes humility and time to recover a second innocence. Titles, positions of honor, money, and power are not requirements of the kingdom of God. Jesus says and demonstrates in today’s Gospel that members of God’s kingdom must hold in their embrace the most inconsequential of persons, for that person is identified with Jesus. This attitude ran counter to the intuition of the world of Jesus’ time, as it does in ours. The simplicity set forth by Jesus requires the shedding of unnecessary, unimportant, false, and burdensome attachments that earthly power demands. Membership in the Kingdom is light enough to put a song in our heart. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Nos NUESTRO DIOS PRÓDIGO toca volver a aprender una y otra vez cuán pródigo es nuestro Dios. Es como si Dios no pudiera decir “no”. Por supuesto, que estamos de acuerdo cuando Dios es pródigo conmigo—rico en misericordia y perdón, generoso con su gracia. Pero cuando se trata del otro –¿el enemigo, el pecador, el hereje, el excluído? Pues entonces queremos que Dios sea tan tacaño con esa persona como yo soy. Moisés y Josué también querían un mundo así de conveniente. Se preguntaban cómo es que el espíritu de Dios se había posado sobre los dos que no se aparecieron a la reunión –la Iglesia de hoy. Y los apóstoles en el Evangelio se quejaron porque habían unos haciendo milagros que en definitiva no eran seguidores de Jesús. La extensa y libre generosidad de Dios los confundió a todos. Que así sea, dice Jesús. Por su parte, ustedes que guían a otros, continúen siendo dignos de su vocación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Saint Joseph Parish Excerpted from The Joy of the Gospel by Pope Francis #10 The Gospel offers us the chance to live life on a higher plane, but with no less intensity: “Life grows by being given away, and it weakens in isolation and comfort. Indeed, those who enjoy life most are those who leave security on the shore and become excited by the mission of communicating life to others.” When the Church summons Christians to take up the task of evangelization, she is simply pointing to the source of authentic personal fulfilment. For “here we discover a profound law of reality: that life is attained and matures in the measure that is offered up in order to give life to others. This is certainly what mission means.” Consequently, an evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral? Let us recover and deepen our enthusiasm, that “delightful and comforting joy of evangelizing, even when it is in tears that we must sow...And may the world of our time, which is searching, sometimes with anguish, sometimes with hope, be enabled to receive the good news not from evangelizers who are dejected, discouraged, impatient, or anxious, but from ministers of the Gospel whose lives glow with fervor, who have first received the joy of Christ.” #21 The Gospel joy which enlivens the community of disciples is a missionary joy. The seventy-two disciples felt it as they returned from their mission (cf. Lk 10:17). Jesus felt it when he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and praised the Father for revealing himself to the poor and the little ones. (cf Lk10:21), It was felt by the first converts who marveled to hear the apostles preaching “in the native language of each” (Acts 2;6) on the day of Pentecost. This joy is a sign that the Gospel has been proclaimed and is bearing fruit. Yet the drive to go forth and give, to go out from ourselves, to keep pressing forward in our sowing of the good seed, remains ever present. The Lord says: “Let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out” (Mk 1:38). Once the seed has been sown in one place, Jesus does not stay behind to explain things or to preform more signs; the Spirit moves him to go forth to other towns.
