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.

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. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © J.
