Faith Formation
Our Lady of Aparecida (who appeared),
Patroness of Brazil
On a certain day in 1716 three fishermen
were at work on the Paraiba river. There
were no fish in the nets they li ed from
the water, but an ar s c terraco a image
of our Lady of the Concep on, which they
dubbed “Nossa Sennora Aparecida”. The
chronicles relate that once the Virgin was
placed in the boat, the catch was so great
that the frightened men returned to port because the
weight of the fish threatened to sink their cra . It is
not known how the small – less than three feet high –
statue came to rest at the bo om of the river, but its
author is known, Frei Agos no de Jesus, a “carioca”
monk from Sao Paulo who sculptured clay ar s cally.
The image was made around 1650 and must have
stayed submerged in the river for many years because
it lost its original polychromy. The image is now a brilliant dark brown color, and is covered by a s ff mantle
of thick cloth richly embroidered, allowing only her
face and hands to be seen. She wears on her head the
imperial crown with precious stones with which she
was crowned in 1904. In 1930 Pope Pius XI proclaimed
her principal patroness of Brazil; her feast on October
12 is a na onal holiday. Pope John Paul II visited the
Virgin “Aparecida” in her much frequented sanctuary
and gave it the tle of Basilica. A few days before the
visit someone got hold of the statue and threw it forcibly on the floor. Although the frail image was broken
into many pieces, the loving and careful work of several ar sts put it together again and the Virgin
“Aparecida” returned to her niche in the Basilica,
where everybody venerates it as the Mother of Brazil.

Formación de la fe
Nuestra Señora de Aparecida, Patrona de Brasil
En el año 1716 tres pescadores hacen su faena en el
río Paraíba. Ese día las redes que alzan de las aguas
no con enen ningún pez, sino una ar s ca figura
de terracota de nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
Cuenta la crónica que una vez colocada la imagen
en el navío, la pesca fue tan abundante que aquellos hombres regresaron a puerto llenos de temor,
porque la canoa parecía hundirse, incapaz de sostener el enorme peso de la pesca. No se sabe cómo la
pequeña imagen de sólo 36 cen metros fue a parar al
fondo del río, pero sí se conoce a su autor, Frei Agos no
de Jesús, un monje carioca de Sao Paulo que trabajaba
el barro con arte y refinamiento. La imagen que fue moldeada hacia el 1650, permaneció sumergida en el Paraíba por muchos años, hasta perder su policromía original y quedarse de un brillante color castaño oscuro.
La Virgen morena se presenta a la veneración de los fieles recubierta por un rígido manto de gruesas telas ricamente bordadas, que sólo permiten verle el rostro y las
manos, que une sobre el pecho en con nua oración.
Porta la corona imperial, de oro y piedras preciosas, con
la que fue coronada en el 1904. Pío XI la proclamó patrona principal del Brasil en 1930 y el día de su fiesta, el
12 de octubre, ha sido declarado feriado nacional. Juan
Pablo II visitó a la Virgen Aparecida en su santuario, concediéndole el tulo de Basílica. Unos días antes un individuo se apoderó de la imagen y la lanzó al suelo con la
intención de destruirla, para empañar la alegría general
del Brasil por la visita del Santo Padre. Aunque la figura
confeccionada en frágil arcilla se par ó en muchos pedazos, el amor y el cuidadoso trabajo de varios ar stas y
expertos logró reconstruirla perfectamente y la Virgen
Aparecida retornó a su nicho en la basílica en medio de
la enorme mul tud que la aclamaba por madre del Brasil.

October is the month for missions.
Our gospel today challenges us to
move forward in humility in order to do the mission
of the Lord.
The first part of the gospel has the Apostles
asking Jesus to “Increase our faith.” Although Jesus
tells them that having faith the size of a mustard seed
will allow them to move “a mulberry tree” it might
help us to turn this saying around. What if Jesus asks
us to be uprooted and move? This might not be
literal, physical moving, but to change our thought
patterns; our ways of praying and acting toward
others. This too would take great faith on our part.
Jesus then points out that our relationship to God
will determine the disposition of our hearts. Do we
expect something in return when we are serving the
Lord? Do we expect riches? Perfect health? No
family issues? If we are doing what we “were
obliged to do” then we have come to a deep trust in
the Lord. Such a life comes as Paul notes from
bearing hardships for the sake of the “Gospel with
the strength that comes from God.” This relationship
will lead us to a life of simplicity and joy whatever
mission the Lord has in store for us.

Amoris Laetitia by Pope Francis
I must also say that the Synod process proved both
impressive and illuminating. I am grateful for the many
contributions that helped me to appreciate more fully the
problems faced by families throughout the world. The
various interventions of the Synod Fathers, to which I
paid close heed, made up, as it were, a multifaceted gem
reflecting many legitimate concerns and honest questions.
For this reason, I thought it appropriate to prepare a postsynodal Apostolic Exhortation to gather the contributions
of the two recent Synods on the family, while adding
other considerations as an aid to reflection, dialogue and
pastoral practice, and as a help and encouragement to
families in their daily commitments and challenges.
This Exhortation is especially timely in this Jubilee
Year of Mercy. First, because it represents an invitation to
Christian families to value the gifts of marriage and the
family, and to persevere in a love strengthened by the
virtues of generosity, commitment, fidelity and patience.
Second, because it seeks to encourage everyone to be a
sign of mercy and closeness wherever family life remains
imperfect or lacks peace and joy.

Del Escritorio
Octubre es el mes de las misiones.
Del Párroco
El evangelio de hoy nos desafía
para poder de seguir adelante en le humildad para cumplir
la misión del Señor.
La primera parte del evangelio los Apóstoles piden a
Jesús, “Auméntanos la fe.” Jesús les dice que con la fe de
una semilla de mostaza pueden mover un “árbol
frondoso.” Tal vez necesitamos doblar el ejemplo. Que
nos pasa cuando Jesús nos dice que hay que arrancarnos y
re-plantarnos? Tal vez no físicamente pero en la manera
de pensar o rezar o actuar con los demás. Cuando nos
pasa también necesitamos mucha fe.
La disponibilidad de nuestros corazones viene de
nuestra relación con Dios. Tenemos expectativas de
recibir algo para servir al Señor? Expectativas de riqueza?
O salud perfecta? O no tener dificultades familiares? Si
hacemos “solo ...lo que teníamos que hacer” en este
momento hemos logrado una relación de mucha confianza
en el Señor. Un tipo de vida así viene de compartir los
sufrimientos de la vida evangelizadora “sostenido por la
fuerza de Dios.” Una relación así con Cristo significa una
vida sencilla y alegre, aceptando cualquier misión que
Dios tiene para nosotros.
——————————————————————–
Amoris Laetitia por el Papa Francisco
De cualquier manera, debo decir que el camino sinodal ha
contenido una gran belleza y ha brindado mucha luz.
Agradezco tantos aportes que me han ayudado a
contemplar los problemas de las familias del mundo en
toda su amplitud. El conjunto de las intervenciones de los
Padres, que escuché con constante atención, me ha
parecido un precioso poliedro, conformado por muchas
legítimas preocupaciones y por preguntas honestas y
sinceras. Por ello consideré adecuado redactar una
Exhortación apostólica postsinodal que recoja los aportes
de los dos recientes Sínodos sobre la familia, agregando
otras consideraciones que puedan orientar la reflexión, el
diálogo o la praxis pastoral y, a la vez, ofrezcan aliento,
estímulo y ayuda a las familias en su entrega y en sus
dificultades.
5. Esta Exhortación adquiere un sentido especial en el
contexto de este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. En primer
lugar, porque la entiendo como una propuesta para las
familias cristianas, que las estimule a valorar los dones
del matrimonio y de la familia, y a sostener un amor
fuerte y lleno de valores como la generosidad, el
compromiso, la fidelidad o la paciencia. En segundo lugar,
porque procura alentar a todos para que sean signos de
misericordia y cercanía allí donde la vida familiar no se
realiza perfectamente o no se desarrolla con paz y gozo.
