TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Last week’s “Treasure” no doubt raised an eyebrow
or two with the image of the deacons scurrying through
the streets of Rome, or perhaps galloping on horseback,
with fragments of eucharistic bread from the bishop’s
liturgy. These would be dropped into the chalice at outlying celebrations, presided over by presbyters, to express
unity with the bishop, and perhaps also to remind the
presbyters that they were not free agents. The Council of
Laodicea forbade the custom of the fermentum in the
year 348. Generally, one of the rules of interpreting law is
that people don’t make laws about things that aren’t happening. So, by mid-fourth century, we have an important
clue that what had once been a Roman custom had become widespread.
Interestingly, when the Church of England (and its
related bodies) went through a liturgical renewal in the
mid-nineteenth century, they reclaimed this custom from
the mists of history. Today, it is the custom in some Anglican dioceses for a fragment of the host from the
bishop’s Holy Week liturgy (what we call the Chrism
Mass) to be carried to every parish. On “Maundy Thursday” (our Holy Thursday), the fragment is dropped into
the chalice to signify the parish’s communion with the
bishop. This modern revival of the fermentum is different
from the “co-mingling” action we are used to, in which a
fragment of the consecrated bread is dropped into the
chalice just before Communion.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1910, cuatro años antes de iniciar el Día de las
Madres, el pueblo de Estados Unidos empezó a celebrar
ocasionalmente un día para los padres de familia. Pero,
no fue hasta 1972 que se fijó un día oficial para el papá.
Poco a poco esta fecha del segundo domingo de junio se
ha ido expandiendo al resto del mundo con algunas excepciones. En Italia por ejemplo, la fiesta del padre se
celebra el 19 de marzo, día de san José.
Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo diecinueve,
José, esposo de María recibió su primera fiesta oficial. La
Iglesia, preocupada por el ingreso del padre a las fábricas, propuso a este santo varón como ejemplo de lo que
los padres deben ser en la vida de sus hijos e hijas; ejemplos de fe, ternura y trabajo. Aún en nuestro tiempo, el
Rito del Bautismo de niños insiste que el padre, junto con
la madre, deben ser los mayores maestros de sus hijos.
Al igual que José, el papá debe cuidar y proteger a su
familia, enseñarle a los niños a trabajar y ser honestos
para el bien de la familia y la sociedad.
