A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
SENT BY GOD
ENVIADO POR DIOS
In Amos’ me the voca on of prophet had achieved a
very formal status in Israel. The prophets had arisen, originally, to act as God’s voice when Israel was no longer led
by the spiritual/civil figures known as “judges,” but by
monarchs. Over me, the monarchy had appropriated
the offices of priest and prophet, established them into
companies, and reserved the right to appoint courtly
prophets. Then, as now, when those in power also got to
choose who would act as their official conscience, things
some mes went awry. At such mes, God raised up
prophets from unlikely places, and this is how Amos received his voca on as prophet. In last week’s Gospel we
heard how Jesus was raised up as God’s anointed from a
place many viewed as unlikely. As we con nue to discern
our own voca on as bap zed disciples, we can be assured
that we are, in Paul’s words, “chosen, des ned in accord
with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things
according to the inten on of his will” (Ephesians 1:11).
En la época de Amós la vocación de profeta había adquirido
una posición muy formal en Israel. Originalmente los profetas
habían surgido como los portavoces de Dios cuando Israel ya
no se veía guiado por las figuras religioso-civiles a quienes conocemos como los “Jueces”, sino por los Reyes. Al correr del
empo la monarquía de Israel se había apropiado los oficios
de sacerdote y de profeta, estableciéndolos como órdenes, y
reservándose el derecho de nombrar profetas oficiales para la
corte real. Entonces, como ahora, cuando los que estaban en
el poder escogían a los que iban a servirles de “conciencia oficial”, a veces las cosas se torcían. Y entonces Dios escogía profetas de donde menos se les esperaba. Así fue como Amós
recibió su llamado a profe zar. En el Evangelio del domingo
pasado vimos cómo Jesús surgió como el Ungido del Señor
aunque venía de un lugar que muchos consideraban poco probable. Y nosotros, cuando con nuamos discerniendo nuestro
propio llamado bau smal a ser discípulos, podemos estar seguros de que estamos, en las palabras de san Pablo:
“des nados [para eso], por decisión del que lo hace todo según su voluntad” (Efesios 1:11).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Many marriage customs stand in tension with modern American a tudes and values, notably “giving away the bride,”
which is no longer in the Catholic liturgy, and reminds us of a
me when marriage was a contract between men (the groom
and the bride’s father). A Mexican custom, now approved for
use in the United States, has a very different message.
An ancient Roman custom called for smashing pieces of gold
and silver so that bride and groom could each keep half. This is
the origin of today’s Mexican prac ce of the groom giving thirteen gold coins to the bride, symbolically placing all his worldly
goods into her care, and a sign of his uncondi onal trust. The
coins are o en given in beau ful gi boxes and are retained as
an heirloom. Why thirteen? The standard explana on is that
they represent Jesus and the apostles. The priest blesses the
coins and pours them into the bride’s cupped hands. Then she
entrusts them to the groom, who later pours them back into
her hands. This enduring ritual is in such harmony with our
tradi on’s view of marriage that it is now increasingly performed by English speaking Hispanic Catholics at weddings in
the United States.
