The church unites in praying for those who are critically ill. Our prayers can be a very effective channel for the healing power of Christ. Some people have a crisis or illness. Others are chronically ill. Both types of situations need the care and concern of the entire Body of Christ. At the request of concerned family members, names of the critically ill will be placed on our prayer list and will remain on the sick list for four (4) weeks. After that time they will be removed from the list. If a member of the family or the sick person himself or herself wishes to remain on the list, they have only to call or e-mail us and we will be happy to oblige.

One of the more dramatic and moving ceremonies of the Easter Triduum, the three holiest days of the year, occurs on Holy Thursday at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper: the Mandatum1 or the Washing of the Feet. While this ceremony is not integral to the liturgy – it is, in fact, entirely optional – its powerful symbolism speaks eloquently. Until a few weeks ago, the liturgical law of the Church unambiguously permitted that only men (as in males, and presumably, if one is particular about these sorts of things, as one should be, only adults) might have their feet washed at this ceremony; nevertheless, chronic disobedience to this mandate (no pun intended) has been rife for many years in many parishes and on many levels, setting up conflicting expectations and confusing the faithful. As we move through Lent towards Holy Week and its magnificent ceremonies, a few clarifications and thoughts on this topic might be helpful as well as instructive and interesting. On 6 January, 2016, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, at the direction of Pope Francis, published a rescript modifying the liturgical law concerning the Mandatum by changing the words “the men who have been chosen…[for the footwashing]” to “those who are chosen from among the People of God…”, thereby clearly allowing for women and children as well as men. The Latin is clearer than the English, since Latin sensibly has two words for “man”: vir, as in an adult male person, and homo,2 as in man (a human) in the generic sense. Many have argued that since Pope Francis, on his first Holy Thursday in the See of Peter, washed the feet of women (and even non-baptized persons), the law had been changed by that very fact and that the Pope’s act was licit. As to questioning the second assertion, I nolo contendere 3 because “Prima Sedes a nemine iudicatur.” 4 Of the first assertion, however, a respectful examination might bring us some valuable clarity. There is no question that the Holy Father has the authority to change positive liturgical law. But did Pope Francis do that by washing the feet of those persons forbidden by the rubrics? No. Unequivocally. That’s not how law works. Neither the maxim “what the lawgiver does is licit” nor “what is done (and presumably tolerated) in the presence of the lawgiver is licit” is, in fact, licit, or more to the point, accurate. The pope, like every bishop and priest, is bound to follow Canon law, (which binds one to liturgical law) unless he himself changes that law. _______________________________________ 1 which means “commandment”: Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos. (I give to you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.) The traditional and quite reasonable explanation of the common name for this day – Maundy Thursday – is that it comes from Mandatum. Some theorize speciously that “Maundy” A comes from the alms given by the King of England to certain beggars before Mass on this day, which were called “Maundy purses” or “Maundy baskets”. This seems a bit contrived and backwards; dragging in the possible etymology of maundy as coming from “mendicare” (to beg) seems desperate. There is no compelling phonological evidence to favor a transformation from [mend-] to [maund] over a transformation from [mand-]. A While there is some possible support for “maunder” as an obsolete verb meaning “to beg” (in the 1550’s), the happier discovery – a new one for me – is the more common (well, relatively) and recent (the 1740’s) meaning of maunder as “to talk or move about in a rambling, foolish, or meaningless way.” As in: “That priest just maundered through the homily again.” 2 Utterly unrelated to this discussion, but interesting linguistically, one should note that the word homosexual does not include, as many think, the Latin word homo (man) but the Greek prefix homo (ὁμο-) meaning “same”. 3 It’s a correct if pretentious bilingual sentence! 4 Canon 1404 states unambiguously: “The First See [the Pope] is judged by no one.” But it is a great principle of law, Canon and otherwise, that for the changing of a law to take effect, it must not only be undertaken by one with the authority to do so (which the Pope certainly has) but it must be explicit and be promulgated, neither of which was done. Now, however, that has changed. Anyway, why should one care about such (apparently, at least to some) unimportant laws? Sir Thomas More’s response (at least Robert Bolt’s unforgettable imagining of the same) should mutatis mutandis serve as an answer.5 Remembering that the Mandatum only very recently appeared in the Mass, although it had a previous history as part of Papal Liturgies, where the feet of 12 priests were washed by the pope, we might be surprised that it was only in 1955 that Pope Pius XII inserted it into the Mass. For centuries, Abbots in monasteries washed the feet of their monks on this day – but not at Mass - and many monarchs, both male and female, copied the practice, washing the feet of and then feeding 12 poor men or women on Maundy Thursday. The King of Spain and the Emperor of Austria maintained this tradition into the 20th Century. Such rites clearly imitate of Christ’s charity, service and humility and, as such, have a breathtaking power (as long as one does not look on them with cynicism) to move us. The Pope’s decision has happily ended an unfortunate confusion. The introduction of the Mandatum into the Mass, borrowing from the papal custom of washing the feet of priests and seen in light of the actual current instruction of the Roman Missal (from 1970) on the purpose of the ceremonies of the Mass on Holy Thursday (in particular, as the celebration of the institution of the priesthood, together with the symbolism of 12 (by custom if not by law) men) – all of this – served to interfuse two possible meanings of the rite. The first meaning is that the washing of the feet is simply (but profoundly) a gesture of humble service – what Christ did for others (for all of us), we should do for each other. This is certainly present in the Gospel appointed for this Mass. As such, it is clear that there need not be (in fact, there should not be) only men whose feet are washed. It is also now clear – but it was not always – that this is Pope Francis’ intention. The other meaning of the rite, however, which certainly does not contradict the broader significance of the example of humble service the Lord displayed in washing the feet of the disciples – was that of the preparation and purification of the 12 apostles in particular for the priesthood into which He was initiating them on that very evening. The deeper meaning of the words of the Gospel about how He is purifying them (with its Old Testament echoes in regards to the installation of the priesthood) “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.” clearly point to this mystical, theological understanding. Naturally, if this is the principal symbolic intention of this Rite (which, certainly, was the majority opinion originally) then the reason why only men could be chosen is clear and, also, not a question of discrimination, since the question of the ordination of women has been definitively answered by the Church’s Magisterium. Confusion in this matter serves no good cause but only causes pain. While I personally find that the Mandatum during the Mass (as opposed to at some other point – perhaps before the Mass, or after it) more beautifully and vividly supports the second rather than the first interpretation and would prefer its codification in that way, I am however happy that there is now an authoritative reading of the intention which I accept it unreservedly: the Mandatum has nothing to do with the inauguration of the priesthood; its symbolism is to be that of the simple (but profound), primary meaning of the example of humility and service which the Lord gave us. As such, there is certainly no reason why women and men, as well as even children, should not be included in the Rite. Since the number 12 is, however, not required (or even mentioned) by liturgical law – which is most fitting given the now-settled interpretation of the rite – we will invite a suitable cross-section of the parish to come forward for the Mandatum so that we all might experience and learn from this radical example of service. May we all learn to follow the Master Who came to serve and not to be served, and fulfill His Great Commandment - not only in appreciating its symbolic representation but in carrying it out in our lives as we love one another as He has loved us. – Father Daniel ____________________________________ 5 From the incomparable play (also movie) “A Man for All Seasons” William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law! Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that! Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

Se trata del mismo Dios de los patriarcas. Es un Dios que se preocupa de la situación del débil y el pobre. Dios intervendrá personalmente para salvarlos. La aparición de dios causaba temor, porque se creía que nadie podía ver a Dios y permanecer vivo. La afirmación de dios como “Soy el que soy” aparentemente significa pronunciar la fuente del nombre personal del Dios de Israel. Se explica a menudo como el ser absoluto y totalmente necesario, Dios como fuente de todo lo creado. Esta revelación de la identi- dad divina y de su compromiso con el pueblo adquirirá un nuevo sentido durante el exilio israelita en Babilonia. 1 Corintios 10:1-6, 10-12 La carta de Pablo a los cristianos de la comunidad de Corinto está llena de consejos sobre como mantener la fe. En la lectura de hoy él les recuerda que no deben dar su nueva fe por sentado. Fe significa que somos llamados a la conversión, a regresar a Dios todos los días. La Cuaresma es un tiempo de penitencia, tiempo de conversión. Nuestro reto es ofrecer evidencia de que somos verdaderos seguidores de Cristo. Recen: Señor, enséñanos el significado de la conversión. Ayúdanos a vivir vidas de servicio y amor. Lucas 13:1-9 Algunas veces cuando escuchamos acerca de un terrible accidente o escuchamos de personas que han sido perseguidas, pensamos que esas cosas no debían pasar. Algunas personas en tiempos de Jesús pensaban que esos sufrimientos eran castigos porque ellos eran pecadores. Jesús aclara el punto en el evangelio de hoy. El dice que el sufrimiento viene de las injusticias del mundo. En nuestro trabajo de seguir lo que Dios quiere de nosotros, la paciencia que nos viene de Dios, como regalo, es una esperanza fundada. Es una seguridad y al mismo tiempo una garantía de que el resultado no se va a estropear. Y esa seguridad y paciencia de Dios nos debería inspirar, consolar e impulsar. Nos debería inspirar a extender la misma paciencia a los demás. Nos debería consolar porque sabemos que, por nosotros mismos, no merecemos que Dios nos espere tanto A pesar de vivir en una cultura en la que parece que todo se nos debe, que se tiene derecho a todo, en el fondo, sabemos que no hemos ganado nada. La paciencia de Dios con nosotros nos debería impulsar a cambiar nuestras vidas, a estar preparados, no porque Dios nos vaya a castigar, sino porque lo amamos y le agradecemos su infinita misericordia. Ser misericordioso es tener un corazón compasivo. La misericordia, junto con el gozo y la paz, son efectos del amor; es decir, de la caridad P. Sergio G. Román | Fuente: Desde la fe "Al amigo se le conoce en la enfermedad y en la cárcel” Las prisiones son un verdadero infierno. No sólo por las penas físicas -que se agravan por la sobrepoblación y por el daño que se causan entre sí los presos- sino, sobre todo, por la pena moral del remordimiento en los culpables y de la justa indignación en los inocentes, que también los hay. Algunos tratan de aliviar, en lo posible, las penas de ese infierno y visitan con frecuencia a los presos: son las madres y las esposas. Algunas perseveran aunque la sentencia sea larga, muy larga o para siempre; otras, los dejan solos. ¿Qué es? La palabra misericordia tiene su origen en dos palabras del latín: misereri, que significa tener compasión, y cor, que significa corazón. Ser misericordioso es tener un corazón compasivo. La misericordia, junto con el gozo y la paz, son efectos del amor; es decir, de la caridad.

Pues resulta que lo que Jesús nos pide es que seamos misericordiosos con Él; y lo somos si nos comportamos misericordiosamente con los más necesitados. Si deseo, pues, ir al cielo, más me vale que comience a preocuparme efectivamente por los prójimos que necesitan de mí. “Bienaventurados los misericordiosos...” No sólo en los tiempos históricos en los que vivió Jesús antes de su ascensión, sino en estos tiempos en que vivimos, hace falta la misericordia. Cuando la desgracia alcanza proporciones desmedidas, la misericordia se vuelve una necesidad que atienden oficialmente las organizaciones mundiales o nacionales. Sabemos que la ONU y otras organizaciones filiales ayudan a las víctimas de guerra, a los refugiados, a los que padecen hambre. La Cruz Roja es el paladín de la ayuda voluntaria y desinteresada a los que sufren. En México, y en casi todos los países, hay obras semejantes que se distinguen por su altruismo y filantropía. A nivel de católicos, tenemos Cáritas (Caridad) que trata de expresar en obras la fe de la Iglesia. Todos estos movimientos necesitan de tu colaboración. La medida de tu compromiso dependerá de la conciencia que tengas de la urgencia de ayuda de tus hermanos necesitados. Una persona que da su tiempo, su dinero y lo que es y sabe a este tipo de organizaciones, se llama “voluntario”. ¿Te gustaría serlo? Pero también puedes serlo de una forma autónoma o formar equipo con tu familia o tus vecinos. Sólo se necesita un corazón compasivo y, como seguramente ya te habrás dado cuentas, tú lo tienes y lo tienen tus hijos, tu esposa y toda esa gente buena con la que convives. No necesitamos buscar a quién ayudar, la vida misma nos va presentando la oportunidad. Basta tener los ojos abiertos y, más que los ojos, el corazón. Hagamos de nuestras obras de misericordia una cuestión de familia en la que todos participemos, cada quien de acuerdo con sus posibilidades y su edad. Cuando íbamos al catecismo nos enseñaron que las obras de misericordia de dividen en Quizás no esté a nuestro alcance adoptar a un huérfano de guerra o ir a socorrer a los damnificados de un terremoto en el otro lado del mundo, pero sí lo está el dar compañía a un solitario, el visitar a un enfermo, el ayudar a un estudiante a pasar un examen, el conseguir trabajo a un amigo, el acudir al novenario de un difunto... ¡tantas cosas que podemos hacer!
