A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
FE EN JESUCRISTO
Mark’s Gospel account today is built on a double astonishment
or amazement: the neighbors and family of Jesus are astonished
that he taught in the synagogue with wisdom and worked powerful signs. Jesus, in turn, is amazed that they have no faith in him
because they know his origins, not because of any fault with his
teaching or ministry. As with many of Mark’s passages, we get a
rather intimate glimpse here of the human part of Jesus’ two‑fold
nature. To reinforce his point, Mark tells of Jesus’ return to his
native place, and further points out that he is in the midst of his
own family members there. From the very people he expected
the most, Jesus received the least. In the day of the Gospel’s writing, Mark was attempting to illustrate a lesson to the house of
Israel: the God of the covenant expected the greatest faith from
the house of Israel, but often received the least. This is a good
source for reflection on our part, we who are Jesus’ followers
today. For the wisdom of Christ to continue and for our lives to
be seen as signs of his power, he must expect and be able to find
great faith among us. Will he? Can he? Does he? Or is he, once
again, amazed by its absence?
El incidente que nos cuenta san Marcos en el Evangelio de hoy se
basa en un doble asombro: primero, los vecinos y parientes de
Jesús se asombran de verlo enseñar en la sinagoga con tanta
sabiduría, y de ver su poder para hacer milagros. Y Jesús, a su vez,
se extraña de la incredulidad de aquella gente, que no pone su fe
en él, no porque hallen alguna falta en su enseñanza o en su ministerio, sino porque conocen sus orígenes y su familia. Aquí,
como en muchos otros incidentes de su Evangelio, Marcos nos
deja ver un aspecto bastante íntimo de la parte humana de la
doble naturaleza de Jesús. Para reforzar lo que quiere que veamos, Marcos nos cuenta cómo Jesús vuelve a su pueblo, y nos
hace notar que está allí entre sus familiares. Y de la gente de
quienes más esperaba es que menos recibe. En la época en que
estaba escribiendo su Evangelio, san Marcos trataba de enseñar
una lección muy importante para la casa de Israel, el Dios de la
Alianza esperaba encontrar la fe más intensa en la casa de Israel,
pero muchas veces allí fue donde menos la encontró. Y es bueno
que reflexionemos sobre esto, nosotros que hoy día somos el
Pueblo de Dios. Para que la Sabiduría de Cristo continúe en este
mundo, y para que nuestras vidas sean signos de su poder, Jesús
espera hallar, y tiene que hallar, una gran fe en nosotros. ¿La hallará? ¿O quedará, una vez más, pasmado de nuestra poca fe?

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the sixteenth century, the Council of Trent, which was
otherwise devoted to liturgical uniformity, was very tolerant of age old marriage customs. The Council singled out
“praiseworthy” customs and hoped they would be retained. The Second Va can Council likewise asked for a
careful evalua on of customs, admi ng that not everything about wedding prac ce is “praiseworthy.” In our revised liturgy, all of the prayers consistently stress the equality of the partners. Some familiar customs do not match
this insight. O en, the groom remains hidden in a sacristy
while the bride, accompanied only by her father, enters
with her a endants. This is hardly equality, especially if it
appears that her father is “giving her away” to her husband. This is a familiar enough scene, but increasingly couples are called to a different prac ce. Symbols and signs
carry and communicate meaning. The challenge for couples
today is to match the meaning to the symbol, and for the
couple to be authen c in all they do and say on the day of
their wedding. Having bride and groom both take part fully
and equally in the entrance procession is exactly the kind of
“praiseworthy” prac ce we’ve been looking for!
