A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
FEEDING THE WORLD
ALIMENTANDO AL MUNDO
With today’s two accounts of feeding miracles and the psalm
response about the Lord’s hand feeding us, it is easy to gloss
over the marvelous hymn in Ephesians. It is built around the
most potent biblical numbers: one, three, and seven. The core
of it is the word “one” expressed seven mes. Three of these
describe the church: one body, one Spirit, one hope; the next
three are the founda ons of the church: one Lord [Jesus], one
faith, one bap sm. All of these are bound up together in the
one Father of all. While we might feel daunted by the prospect
of duplica ng the wonders worked by Elisha and Jesus in the
feeding of mul tudes, Ephesians gives us a more realis c way
to live and “feed” others as the church: by living in humility and
gentleness, by ac ng with pa ence, bearing with each other in
love, and always seeking and striving to preserve unity through
peace. Who among us cannot increase the way we “feed” the
church and the world by living this way? We are always called
upon to “feed” the world in the literal sense; but our mission as
church tells us that others are also fed by the way we live and
act each moment of each day.
Al oír las narraciones de cómo Eliseo y Jesús mul plican los alimentos, y el salmo responsorial sobre como la mano del Señor nos alimenta, es fácil caer en la tentación de pasar por alto el maravilloso
himno de la carta a los efesios en la Segunda lectura. El himno se
centra en los números más potentes de la tradición bíblica: el uno,
el tres y el siete. La médula del himno es el número uno, repe do
siete veces. Tres de ellas se refieren a la Iglesia: un solo cuerpo, un
solo Espíritu, como también una sola es la esperanza. Los próximas
tres son los fundamentos de la Iglesia: un solo Señor, una sola fe,
un solo bau smo. Y todos estos se juntan en un solo Dios y Padre
de todos. La idea de repe r los milagros obrados por Eliseo y por
Jesús al alimentar las mul tudes nos desalienta, claro está, pero la
carta a los efesios nos ofrece un modo más realizable de vivir como
Iglesia y de alimentar a los demás en la Iglesia: ser siempre humildes y amables; ser comprensivos y soportarnos mutuamente con
amor, y esforzarnos en mantenernos unidos en el Espíritu con el
vínculo de la paz. ¿Quién de nosotros no puede “alimentar” a la
comunidad de la Iglesia viviendo de esta manera? Es verdad que
siempre estamos llamados a “alimentar” al mundo en el sen do
literal de la palabra, pero nuestra misión como Iglesia también nos
dice que a los demás también hay que alimentarlos por la manera
en que vivimos y actuamos cada momento de cada día.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Sooner of later, as they plan their wedding liturgy, a couple
will receive some advice about a “unity candle.” They need
one, they are told (at great expense); it is a tradi on; it is what
Catholics have always done. Not so. In the last thirty years or
so, the custom has enjoyed wide popularity in the United
States. It has never been officially part of our liturgy, and it
exists in tension with some of our core symbols. Usually there
are two smaller candles and one larger one to be lit from the
smaller. Large candles in our tradi on always mean Christ, and
smaller ones are always tokens of our bap smal candle. If the
candles are meant for a kind of renewal of bap smal vows,
then the meaning is clearer, yet this is seldom the understanding. Why, then, are those smaller candles ex nguished?
It’s hard to tell where these pesky candles came from. Some
suggest that the Presbyterian Church, which has a very lean
wedding liturgy, introduced them as an op on for extending a
short service. Generally, it’s been experienced as a “photo
opportunity” rather than a genuine liturgical ritual. The “unity
candle,” a recent inven on rather than an authen c tradi on,
has not been approved as an adapta on to our rite, and it is to
be hoped that it will gradually disappear from view.
