Dejar que el esplendor de la santidad brille intensamente

Queridos amigos:

Mucho se desprende de nuestra celebración de Semana Santa, culminando, por supuesto, en la celebración de la Resurrección. La celebración de Pascua, en la que nos encontramos ahora, verdaderamente es el centro y manantial de todo nuestro año.

Uno de los eventos en el corazón de la Semana Santa es la Misa Crismal, cuando junto a mis hermanos sacerdotes y fieles de la diócesis nos unimos para bendecir y consagrar los Santos Óleos que serán usados en los sacramentos para el próximo año. Es un momento intenso y un buen inicio considerando nuestra misión de Pascua.

Sacerdocio de los bautizados

Durante la consagración de los óleos rezamos lo siguiente: “dejemos que el esplendor de la santidad brille en todo el mundo, desde cada persona, lugar o cosa ungida con estos Santos Óleos”. Dense un momento para leer esta hermosa oración otra vez: “dejemos que el esplendor de la santidad brille en todo el mundo, desde cada persona, lugar o cosa ungida con estos Santos Óleos”. Esto se refiere a la iglesia, al altar, a los diáconos y sacerdotes que han recibido las Sagradas Órdenes, y se refiere también a ustedes, los bautizados y confirmados, que tienen su propio tipo de sacerdocio. Cada uno de los bautizados está llamado al sacerdocio, un hermoso tipo de sacerdocio que es muy distinto al sacerdocio ordenado. Pero ambos son necesarios y hermosos. Pasemos revista a eso.

En la Oración del Prefacio de la Misa Crismal rezamos: “Cristo ha dado da la dignidad real del sacerdocio al pueblo que ha hecho suyo…”. Aquí nuevamente la Iglesia enfatiza el sacerdocio real de los bautizados. ¿Qué significa eso? Significa que todos los ungidos en el Bautismo tienen un rol que jugar, “dejando que el esplendor de la santidad ¡brille ante todo el mundo!”

The challenge of Lent continues beyond Easter

Making a Difference column logo

As the Lend ends, let us never forget its commanding start: “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel!”

We could spend most of our lives reflecting and acting on this single powerful sentence. And indeed we should.

For in turning away from all that hurts our relationship with God — sin — and being faithful to the essential foundation which nurtures that relationship — the Gospel — we discover ever more fully the beauty, peace, joy, and meaning of this life, and prepare well for the incomprehensible wonders of eternal life!

Turning away from sin

This is the ideal time for the nation as a whole to turn away from sin.

Letting the splendor of holiness shine forth

Dear Friends,
So much flows from our Holy Week celebration, culminating, of course, in the celebration of the Resurrection. The Easter celebration, in which we now find ourselves, truly is the center and wellspring of our faith and our entire year.
