TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Apart from the period from Thanksgiving through

Christmas, the summer is a favored time for family

reunions. We trace family trees and recall our origins.

Worship has a family tree as well, and the way we

celebrate today has been influenced by various styles and

customs through the centuries. We are Western Christians

of the Latin Rite. By far, we are the most numerous

Western Christians, but there are other ritual families as

well. The Archdiocese of Milan in Italy follows the

Ambrosian Rite, Toledo in Spain preserves the Mozarabic

Rite and the Arab language, and Lyons in France is home

to the Gallican Rite. Other liturgical families, such as the

Celtic in Ireland and the Sarum in England, faded away

after the Reformation. Until recent times, members of

some ancient religious orders such as Carmelites and

Trappists followed a pattern of Mass that varied slightly

from the plan observed in Latin Rite parishes.

Isn’t the Catholic Church the same everywhere? Not

at all. It never has been! The existence of so many

liturgical families in the West reminds us that unity, not

uniformity, is what the Church seeks to achieve among

her children. We are united in faith, but wonderfully

diverse in rituals, ceremonies, languages, customs, and

spirituality.

The Transfiguration of the Lord

All three Synoptic

Gospels tell the story of

the Transfiguration. With

remarkable agreement, all

three place the event

shortly after Peter’s

confession of faith that

Jesus is the Messiah and

Jesus’ first prediction of

his passion and death.

Peter’s eagerness to erect tents or booths on the spot suggests

it occurred during the week-long Jewish Feast of Booths in the

fall.

According to Scripture scholars, in spite of the texts’

agreement it is difficult to reconstruct the disciples’

experience, because the Gospels draw heavily on Old

Testament descriptions of the Sinai encounter with God, and

prophetic visions of the Son of Man.

Certainly Peter, James, and John had a glimpse of Jesus’

divinity strong enough to strike fear into their hearts. Such an

experience defies description, so they drew on familiar

religious language to describe it. And certainly Jesus warned

them that his glory and his suffering were to be inextricably

connected—a theme John highlights throughout his Gospel.

Tradition names Mount Tabor as the site of the revelation. A

church first raised there in the fourth century was dedicated on

August 6. A feast in honor of the Transfiguration was

celebrated in the Eastern Church from about that time.

Western observance began in some localities about the eighth

century. On July 22, 1456, Crusaders defeated the Turks at

Belgrade. News of the victory reached Rome on August 6, and

Pope Callistus III placed the feast on the Roman calendar the

following year.

Reflection

One of the Transfiguration accounts is read on the second

Sunday of Lent each year, proclaiming Christ’s divinity to the

Elect and baptized alike. The Gospel for the first Sunday of

Lent, by contrast, is the story of the temptation in the desert—

affirmation of Jesus’ humanity. The two distinct but

inseparable natures of the Lord were a subject of much

theological argument at the beginning of the Church’s history;

it remains hard for believers to grasp.

ESTATE PLANNING

We acknowledge the fact that some

members and friends of Immaculate

Conception have made provisions to

remember the parish in their estate plan-

ning. As Christians we realize that we

are not owners of material assets, but merely caretakers or

stewards of the Lord’s assets. This is ever so important to

the future of our parish! Such gifts will continue to support

the parish and its ministries long after the donor is gone.

Each person's generosity is very much appreciated and is

an example for others to follow. Please contact Fr. Daniel

for more information on how you can include Immaculate

Conception in your estate planning.

NOTICIAS Y ANUNCIOS PARROQUIALES

La Transfiguración de Jesús

Se celebra un momento muy

especial de la vida de Jesús:

cuando mostró su gloria a tres

de sus apóstoles. Nos dejó un

ejemplo sensible de la gloria que

nos espera en el cielo.

Ésta tuvo lugar mientras Jesús oraba, porque en la oración es

cuando Dios se hace presente. Los apóstoles vieron a Jesús con

un resplandor que casi no se puede describir con palabras: su

rostro brillaba como el sol y sus vestidos eran resplandecientes

como la luz. Pedro quería hacer tres tiendas para quedarse ahí.

No le hacía falta nada, pues estaba plenamente feliz, gozando

un anticipo del cielo. Estaba en presencia de Dios, viéndolo

como era y él hubiera querido quedarse ahí para siempre.

Los personajes que hablaban con Jesús eran Moisés y Elías.

Moisés fue el que recibió la Ley de Dios en el Sinaí para el

pueblo de Israel. Representa a la Ley. Elías, por su parte, es el

padre de los profetas. Moisés y Elías son, por tanto, los repre-

sentantes de la ley y de los profetas, respectivamente, que vie-

nen a dar testimonio de Jesús, quien es el cumplimiento de

todo lo que dicen la ley y los profetas.

¿Qué nos enseña este acontecimiento?

Nos enseña a seguir adelante aquí en la tierra aunque ten-

gamos que sufrir, con la esperanza de que Él nos espera

con su gloria en el Cielo y que vale la pena cualquier sufri-

miento por alcanzarlo.

A entender que el sufrimiento, cuando se ofrece a Dios, se

convierte en sacrificio y así, éste tiene el poder de salvar a

las almas. Jesús sufrió y así se desprendió de su vida para

salvarnos a todos los hombres.

A valorar la oración, ya que Jesús constantemente oraba

con el Padre.

A entender que el Cielo es algo que hay que ganar con los

detalles de la vida de todos los días.

A vivir el mandamiento que Él nos dejó: “Amaos los unos

a los otros como Yo os he amado”.

Habrá un juicio final que se basará en el amor, es decir, en

cuánto hayamos amado o dejado de amar a los demás.

Dios da su gracia a través de la oración y los sacramentos.

Su gracia puede suplir todas nuestras debilidades.
