A Message from Fr. Tony/Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony

THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP

In all of today’s readings, the temple is prominently mentioned. Ezekiel speaks of streams of living water flowing out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing life to all living things, offering fresh healing to God’s people.

Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest of foundations, Christ himself. More than that, Paul reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of the Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them.

For the Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be identified with the presence of God and the only place where authentic worship of God took place. Jesus had a different perception. Jesus identified himself not with the temple, but as the temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what it means to worship God, to be in God’s presence. No longer was a place to be the focus of prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus Christ, becomes the center of our worship.

EL TEMPLO Y LA ADORACIÓN

En todas las lecturas de hoy, el Templo es mencionado predominantemente. Ezequiel habla de aguas vivas que fluyen del Templo, regando el desierto, trayendo vida a todas las cosas vivientes, brindando salud y frescor al pueblo de Dios.

Pablo recuerda a los corintios que su fe reposa sobre bases firmes, Cristo mismo. Más que eso, Pablo les revela que quienes siguen a Cristo son templos ellos mismos, templos del Espíritu Santo, es decir, que Dios no solamente habita con ellos, sino dentro de ellos.

Para los judíos de los tiempos de Jesús, el Templo era identificado con la presencia de Dios y como el lugar santo en donde la verdadera adoración a Dios tenía lugar. Jesús tenía una percepción diferente. Jesús se identifica a sí mismo no con el Templo, sino como el templo. Al hacerlo, Jesús mostró un cambio dramático en lo que significa adorar a Dios, estar en la presencia de Dios. Ya no sería un sitio el centro de oración. Ahora una persona, la persona de Jesucristo, viene a ser el centro de nuestra adoración.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

For several weeks, we have considered penance as a sacrament of forgiveness, and yet there are two other sacraments in this category. The first, of course, is the Eucharist itself. The other is the sacrament of the sick, long associated with penance.

The Le er of James sets out the deep tradi on for caring for the sick: sending for the priests, who will pray and lay their hands on the sick ones, anoin ng them with oil, and giving them forgiveness. Long before other rites of penance developed, the sacrament of the sick was therefore a profound experience of forgiveness. Jesus o en healed the sick, nearly always as a visible sign of forgiveness of sin. The tradi on didn’t unfold smoothly, however, and within a few centuries the oil of the sick was taken home to be applied by caregiv-ers as a salve, or even to be drunk as a medicine. As early as the second century, bishops were therefore urging that priests should be the ones to visit those separated by illness from the Sunday assembly. Thus the prac ce of consigning the Eucharist and the oil of the sick to the non-ordained faithful to bring home was rela vely short-lived.
