Eight hundred years ago, the church's
practice of penance underwent major
revision as theologians, called scholastics, reflected on the practice of
their day. By then, penance was normally a very secret rite, celebrated
completely apart from the community. Public penance had mostly disappeared behind the walls of monasteries and the cloister grills of convents.
The scholastics trimmed penance
down to bare essentials, even sweeping aside age-old traditions like a laying on of hands and prayers of absolution. All that was left was the confessor's simple statement, "Ego te absolvo," "I absolve you."
In 1614 a new ritual book tried to
make penance more public and solemn. It suggested, but did not require,
that the priest wear a surplice and
stole, and hear the confession in a
confessional. For the first time, we
have the directive that the priest be
separated from the penitent by a
screen, a rule that some bishops applied very strictly. By the 1940s, large
numbers of Catholics availed themselves of the sacrament of confession
every Saturday, and most people
thought confession was a prerequisite
for Communion. In some urban parish churches, confessionals were
staffed, usually by the junior priest,
for several hours every day, even during the celebration of Mass. It is remarkable how quickly things
changed, but as we have seen, the
system has collapsed before and what
often comes next is an impulse of the
Spirit, new life, and a fresh start.

Euthanasia and Blessed Clemens von Galen
"Once admit the right to kill unproductive persons .... then none of us
can be sure of his life." So spoke Cardinal Clemens von Galen, of Munster,
Germany, in 1941. This Cardinal was
called the "Lion of Munster," because
he roared with the voice of the Gospel
against the atrocities of the Nazi Regime.
On October 9, 2005, he was beatified
at St Peter's Basilica in Rome. During
his life, the Cardinal protested with
special force against euthanasia:
"The opinion is that since they (the
old) can no longer make money, they
are obsolete machines, comparable
with some old cows that can no longer
give milk or some horse that has gone
lame .... Here we are dealing with human beings, with our neighbors, brothers and sisters, the poor and the invalids .... unproductive, perhaps. But
have they, therefore, lost the right to
live? Have you or I the right to exist
only because we are productive?" (August 3,1941)

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA
FE
En el Evangelio de san Mateo se
encuentra el sermón mas largo de
Jesucristo. Abarca tres capítulos y
contiene una serie de instrucciones
para quienes desean ser sus discípulos. El famoso Sermón de la Montaña, es para Jesús y los cristianos lo
que los Diez Mandamientos son para
Moisés y los judíos. Jesús proclama
la nueva Ley. La Ley de Israel se
sintetiza en los Diez Mandamientos,
mientras que la ley cristiana se resume en ocho bienaventuranzas.
Estas bienaventuranzas son algo extrañas ya que unen cosas completamente opuestas a la felicidad, y las
beatifica. Es decir, son cosas aparentemente contradictorias: "Dichosos
los que lloran"; "felices los pobres";
"bendito tú cuando te calumnien por
causa mía". Jesús toma lo que la sociedad maldice y lo convierte en
camino de bendición, porque nuestros caminos y pensamientos no son
los de Dios. Dios ve mucho más de
lo que podemos ver o imaginar. Por
eso las bienaventuranzas son ocho y
no diez, porque más que una ley para
cumplir, las bienaventuranzas son la
esperanza de un nuevo día. Son la
promesa de un nuevo inicio para la
humanidad, gracias a Dios.

La eutanasia y el Beato Clemens von Galen
"Una vez que se admite el
derecho de matar a las personas
improductivas .... entonces ninguno
de nosotros puede estar seguro de su
vida. "Así habló el cardenal Clemens
von Galen de Munster, Alemania, en
1941. Este cardenal fué llamado el"
León de Munster, "porque él rugió
con la voz del Evangelio contra las
atrocidades del régimen nazi ,
El 9 de octubre 2005 el fué beatificado
en la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma.
Durante su vida, el cardenal protestó
con fuerza especial contra la eutanasia:
"Hay una opinión de que ellos (los
viejos), ya que no pueden hacer dinero, son máqui -nas obsoletas, comparable con algunas vacas viejas que ya
no pueden dar leche o algún caballo
que ha quedado cojo.... Aquí estamos
tratando con seres humanos, con
nuestros vecinos, hermanos y hermanas, los pobres y los enfermos ....
Quizás son improductivos, Pero han,
por lo tanto, perdido el derecho a vivir? Usted o yo tenemos el derecho a
existir solamente porque somos
productivos? " (Agosto 3,1941)

ANHELAMOS VER EL ROSTRO DE DIOS
"Esta es la raza de los que buscan tu rostro Señor". Esta antífona para el salmo
responsorial de hoy brinda el tono de la lecturas de hoy. Cuando en la tierra celebramos la victoria de todos los santos, de los que están canonizados oficialmente
por la Iglesia y de los sinnúmero que también han llegado al cielo, no sumamos
nada a su gloria. Sino que recibimos un motivo más para tener esperanzas. Nosotros, también, anhelamos ver el rostro de Dios y creemos que un día podremos
estar entre aquellos cuyas túnicas, como nos dice Juan en el libro del Apocalipsis,
han sido lavadas y blanqueadas "con la sangre del Cordero".
El pasaje de la primera carta del apóstol San Juan nos garantiza que somos hijos .
1 de noviembre de 2015
de Dios y un día veremos a Dios tal
cual es. Pero el Evangelio de hoy nos
hace pasar del anhelo y la certeza a la
acción. Jesús nos dice claramente qué
debemos hacer para estar entre los
santos. Debemos ser pobres de espíritu, misericordiosos, limpios de
corazón, tener hambre y sed de justicia y trabajar por la paz. Entonces,
nosotros también veremos el rostro de
Dios.
