Dear brothers and sisters,
As we just celebrated All Saints and All Souls, I want to leave you with a reflection of St. John Paul II:
Today I ask, in a quite special way, you who are gathered here to recite the "Angelus" with me, to stop for a moment to reflect on the mystery of the liturgy of the day. The Church lives in a great perspective. This perspective accompanies her always, molds her continually, and directs her towards eternity. The liturgy of the day highlights the eschatological reality, a reality which springs from the whole plan of salvation and at the same time from man's history, a reality which gives the very existence of the Church and her mission their ultimate meaning. That is why we live so intensely the solemnity of All Saints, as well as, tomorrow, the Commemoration of all the dead. These two days enclose, in a particu-lar way, faith in "eternal life" (the last words of the apostolic "Creed"). And although these two days put before the eyes of our soul the inevita-bility of death, they give, at the same time, a testimony of life. Man who, according to the laws of nature, is "condemned to death", man who lives in the perspective of the annihilation of his body, exists at the same time in the perspective of future life, and is called to joy. The solemni-ty of All Saints puts before the eyes of our faith all those who have already reached the fullness of their call to union with God. The day that commemorates the dead directs our thoughts towards those who, having left this world, are waiting in expiation to reach that fullness of love which union with God requires. These are two great days for the Church which, in a certain way, "prolongs her life" in her saints, and also in all those who have prepared for this life by serving truth and love. And therefore, the Church, in the first days of November, is united in a special way with her Redeemer who, through his death and his resurrection, brought us into the very reality of this life. And at the same time, he made us "a kingdom of priests" for his Father.
Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
Como acabamos de celebrar Todos los Santos y Todos los Fieles Difuntos, quiero dejarles una reflexión de San Juan Pablo II:
Hoy les pido, de una manera bastante especial, que se reúnan aquí para recitar el "Ángelus" conmigo, que se detengan por un momento a re-flexionar sobre el misterio de la liturgia del día. La Iglesia vive en una gran perspectiva. Esta perspectiva la acompaña siempre, la moldea conti-nuamente y la dirige hacia la eternidad. La liturgia del día resalta la realidad escatológica, una realidad que nace de todo el plan de salvación y, al mismo tiempo, de la historia del hombre, una realidad que le da a la existencia misma de la Iglesia y su misión su significado último. Es por eso por lo que vivimos tan intensamente la solemnidad de Todos los Santos, así como, mañana, la Conmemoración de todos los muertos. Estos dos días encierran, de una manera particular, la fe en la "vida eterna" (las últimas palabras del "Credo" apostólico). Y aunque estos dos días ponen ante los ojos de nuestra alma la inevitabilidad de la muerte, dan, al mismo tiempo, un testimonio de vida. El hombre que, según las leyes de la naturaleza, está "condenado a muerte", el hombre que vive en la perspectiva de la aniquilación de su cuerpo, existe al mismo tiempo en la perspectiva de la vida futura, y está llamado a la alegría. La solemnidad de Todos los Santos pone ante los ojos de nuestra fe a todos aquellos que ya han alcanzado la plenitud de su llamado a la unión con Dios. El día que conmemora a los muertos dirige nuestros pensamientos hacia aquellos que, después de haber dejado este mundo, están esperando en expiación para alcanzar esa plenitud de amor que requiere la unión con Dios. Estos son dos grandes días para la Iglesia que, de cierta manera, "prolonga su vida" en sus santos, y también en todos aquellos que se han preparado para esta vida sirviendo la verdad y el amor. Y, por lo tanto, la Iglesia, en los primeros días de noviembre, se une de manera especial con su Redentor que, a través de su muerte y su resurrección, nos trajo a la realidad de esta vida. Y al mismo tiempo, nos hizo "un reino de sacerdotes" para su Padre.
San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!
Caros irmãos e irmãs
Como acabamos de celebrar Todos os Santos e Todos os Finados, quero deixar você com uma reflexão de São João Paulo II:
Hoje peço, de uma maneira bastante especial, a vocês que estão reunidos aqui para recitar comigo o "Angelus", para parar por um momento para refletir sobre o mistério da liturgia do dia. A Igreja vive em uma grande perspectiva. Essa perspectiva sempre a acompanha, a molda continuamente e a direciona para a eternidade. A liturgia do dia destaca a realidade escatológica, uma realidade que brota de todo o plano de salvação e, ao mesmo tempo, da história do homem, uma realidade que confere à própria existência da Igreja e sua missão seu significado último. É por isso que vivemos tão intensamente a solenidade de Todos os Santos, bem como, amanhã, a Comemoração de todos os mortos. Esses dois dias encerram, de uma maneira particular, a fé na "vida eterna" (as últimas palavras do "credo apostólico"). E, embora esses dois dias ponham diante dos olhos de nossa alma a inevitabilidade da morte, eles dão, ao mesmo tempo, um testemunho de vida. O homem que, de acordo com as leis da natureza, é "condenado à morte", homem que vive na perspectiva da aniquilação de seu corpo, existe ao mesmo tempo na perspectiva da vida futura e é chamado à alegria. A solenidade de Todos os Santos coloca diante dos olhos de nossa fé todos aqueles que já alcançaram a plenitude de seu chamado à união com Deus. O dia que comemora os mortos dirige nossos pensamentos para aqueles que, tendo saído deste mundo, aguardam expiação para alcançar a plenitude de amor que a união com Deus exige. Estes são dois grandes dias para a Igreja que, de certa maneira, "prolonga a vida" em seus santos, e também em todos os que se prepararam para esta vida servindo a verdade e o amor. E, portanto, a Igreja, nos primeiros dias de novembro, se une de maneira especial ao seu Redentor que, através de sua
morte e ressurreição, nos trouxe à própria realidade desta vida. E, ao mesmo tempo, ele nos fez "um reino de sacerdotes" para seu Pai.
São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!
