TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The French Revolution is hardly a “treasure” in our
story, yet in 1789 it began to dismantle the way the world
was organized: feudalism. The collapsed society had
three basic divisions: those who work, those who fight,
and those who pray. There wasn’t a great deal of movement among the ranks, yet one way to move out of the
workers and the fighters was in the direction of the folks
who prayed. These were the First Estate, the clergy.
One of the key persons in any manor or village was
the priest. He could read, at least a bit, and so was the
source for pronouncements and news from government
and Church. He was assigned to celebrate the sacraments
frequently and in conformance with certain rules.
Seminaries did not exist before the Reformation. Astute Protestant reformers then forced the Catholic world
toward a more educated and able clergy. Before that,
young men apprenticed with a priest to learn the essentials, and would be presented to the bishop for ordination. Other priests emerged from the university system,
where students were required to be invested as clerics.
Still others were monks, ordained not so much for ministry outside the monastic walls, but to offer Mass only for
the intentions of the community’s benefactors.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
América es un continente nacido del mestizaje que
tomó a los europeos, los indígenas y los africanos para
engendrar algo nuevo. Normalmente pensamos en el
mestizaje de sangre que produjo nuevas razas latinoamericanas. Pero también existe el mestizaje cultural que produce nuevos elementos latinoamericanos. Uno de estos
es el sarape, hijo de la tilma pre-colombina y el manto
español. Este mestizaje en tela tiene sus principios en el
siglo XVIII con una proliferación de talleres en Zacatecas,
Saltillo y otros lugares. Esta cobija colorida, de algodón o
lana, fue desarrollada para añadir color y belleza a los
charros de siglos pasados.
A través de la historia el sarape ha sido usado por
vaqueros, jinetes, soldados y revolucionarios. Hoy día el
sarape, jorongo, frazada, gabán o cobija se ha convertido
en símbolo de tradición mexicana y se encuentra decorando hogares, restaurantes e iglesias. México no es el
único país que ha desarrollado un mestizaje en tela, también Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador y otros más tienen
sus telas y tapetes particulares que mezclan los colores y
los diseños para celebrar el talento y la creatividad del
mestizaje latinoamericano.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
REVELATION
In the Old Testament, the New Testament lies concealed;
in the New Testament, the Old Testament lies revealed.
—St. Augustine
LA REVELACIÓN
En el Antiguo Testamento, el Nuevo Testamento está oculto; en el Nuevo Testamento, se revela el Antiguo Testamento.—San Agustín
