ATTENTION PARENTS:

It has been brought to our attention that there are sev-eral under age children unattended outside of the church

during the mass. For safety reasons, and out of respect for the Holy Sacrifice of the mass, all children should be

under their parents supervision at all times. Thank you for

your cooperation in this matter.

ATTENCION PADRES: Últimamente hemos visto niños y jóvenes menores de

edad fuera de la iglesia, durante la misa es falta de respeto al sagrado sacrificio de la misa. Y por seguridad

propia y de sus niños deben permanecer bajo la

supervisión de los padres dentro de la iglesia.

DIOS DENTRO DE MI

Dios está de una forma secreta y escondida dentro de las paredes de nuestra alma; en su misma substancia,

por que si no fuera así, no podría existir del todo. —San Juan de la Cruz.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

When Catholicism encounters a culture, it tends to approach the culture with a measure of respect for its key

customs, especially those touching family life. Around the world, these long‑established customs are often received

into the liturgy, sometimes with a new level of interpreta-

tion. From Old Mexico, the custom of the lasso (“cord”) has migrated across borders, and is now firmly estab-

lished in the marriage liturgy of Spanish‑speaking Catho-lics in the United States. It’s a large cord, sometimes re-

sembling rosary beads, looped around the necks of the newlyweds in a figure‑eight shape. It is a great honor for

a person, normally a godparent or close relative, to place

the lasso around the shoulders of the couple, groom first. The lasso, a symbol of profound unity, remains in place

throughout the liturgy until removed, usually by the priest. The bride keeps the lasso as a memento of the

day, a sign of her ties of love to her husband in heart and

home. The tender ministry of the godparent in this cere-mony clearly links this sacrament of vocation with bap-

tism. It’s not unusual to see the lasso made of fragrant orange blossoms, harking back to very ancient pre‑-Christian rituals seeking the blessings of fertility and hap-piness.—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

El evangelista Mateo (14:21) recuenta que cuando Jesús multiplicó los panes, dio de comer a “unos cinco mil

hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños”. Este peque-ño detalle lo tiene sólo él. Mateo escribió su Evangelio

para los cristianos de origen judío, por lo cual contiene

muchos detalles que solamente reconocen aquellas per-sonas de origen judío. Por ejemplo, el detalle acerca del

número y la clasificación de personas que comieron del pan multiplicado. En aquella época, la religión judía sólo

permitía la participación del varón. Las mujeres y los ni-

ños no contaban para el culto, ni en la toma de decisio-nes en la casa. Por lo tanto, al subrayar la presencia de

las mujeres y los niños, Mateo indica que en la Iglesia o comunidad cristiana, las mujeres y los niños participan

activamente. También ellos comen y reciben de la bondad de Jesús. Esto engrandece la maravilla del milagro, por-

que el número de personas que comieron se multiplica.

Pero más importante aún, subraya la apertura de la co-munidad nueva, instaurada por Jesús, la Iglesia, donde ni

mujeres ni niños deben ser relegados.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,

sionary activity in many areas of the world. Fr. Le is a
