——SABIA USTED?
El altar
El altar nos pertenece a todos. Lo demostramos manteniendo el altar accesible desde todos los angulos, sin ponerle
barreras de lores u otra decoració n. Nos reunimos alrededor del altar como Cristo reunio a los discı́pulos alrededor de la
mesa en la Ultima Cena. Esta imagen es mas clara en los templos que han movido el altar mas al centro dentro de la
asamblea. Cuando el altar realmente esta puesto entre las personas, hay una percepció n y una impresió n mas claras de
estar reunidos alrededor del altar como si fuera en torno a una mesa comunitaria. No deberá haber objetos que los
miembros de la comunidad puedan percibir como un impedimento para acercarse a la mesa.
La reverencia del altar
Cuando los ministros terminan la procesió n hacia el frente de la iglesia, todos (excepto aquellos que llevan la
cruz o el Libro de los Evangelios) se inclinan ante el altar. Mientras se dirigen hacia sus lugares, el sacerdote
ve a la parte posterior del altar, se inclina y lo besa, antes de ir a su silla. El altar es un sı́mbolo del Cuerpo de
Cristo y como tal lo reverenciamos. No lo tratamos como una mesa ordinaria y solo ponemos en el lo necesario para la celebració n de la Liturgia Eucaristica: el caliz y el puri icadcor, el corporal, el pan y el vino y el
Sacramentario con el cual el sacerdote nos guiara en las oraciones.
CONSEJO
DE LA
SEMANA
“El verdadero amor no es el que
perdona nuestros defectos, sino
el que no los conoce”.
Dios te amo, te ama y te amara
eternamente, y Tu?”
