TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The Oil of the Sick, usually labeled OI (for Oleum Infirmarum), is often reserved with chrism and the oil of catechumens in an ambry. An ambry is a cabinet, often beautifully ornamented and kept near the baptistery in the church. Olive oil, with no fragrance added, is blessed at the Chrism Mass in Holy Week by the bishop, although there is now a provision for a priest to bless oil if none is available. This restores to our Latin Rite practice a tradition never lost in the Eastern tradition, in which priests consecrate the oil of the sick, even at the sick person’s home. Any vegetable oil may be used now, since olive oil is difficult to obtain in some places. Many priests keep a small supply of oil close at hand in a small metal tube called a “stock.”

In the former rite, every sense of the body was anointed, accompanied by a prayer for forgiveness of sin. So, the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands, and feet were all touched. Today, this is simplified to an anointing of the forehead and the hands, but generally today the oil is used more lavishly, and the symbolism of touch so central to the rite is enhanced. Often, a priest will invite everyone present to join in the “laying on of hands.” Sick persons are often pushed aside or feared in our culture, and to be reverently touched in love can be a profound experience of God’s healing, forgiving, accepting presence through the ministry of the Church.

Q. Simeon told Our Lady, “(and you yourself and a sword will pierce), so that the thoughts of many hearts may be re-

vealed” (lk2:35) this last part of the Proph-ecy has puzzled many for years. What does

it mean?

A. these words of Simeon were not addressed to Our Lady. This parenthetical remark to her “(and you yourself a sword

will pierce)” anticipate the maternal suffering she will un-dergo. But the revelations of “the thoughts of many hearts”

will follow from the child’s being the cause of it. “ the fall and rise of many in Israel” and his being “ a sign that that will be contradicted . Bishop Fulton Sheen tells us Simeon was call-

ing the Holy Child “Divine Disturber” in his book “ Life of Christ” he wrote: “ The nearer Christ comes to a heart the

more it becomes conscious of its guilt; it will then either ask for His mercy and find peace , or else it will turn against Him… Thus he will separate the good from the bad, the

wheat from the chaff. Man’s reaction to this Divine Presence will be the test”

AUTHORITY FROM GOD

According to Moses, the people decided they didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any more. It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets, instead? God agreed, but with a warning. The people had better listen to those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name.

That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if the teach-er is from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to help us with those questions, but still there are always a few loose ends.

That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s Gos-pel: “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” The people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Muchos cato licos suelen encender una velita de cera ante una imagen de Jesu s, Marí a u otro santo. Esa velita representa un recuerdo de la oracio n hecha por el cristiano y suele quedarse encendida varios dí as. Hoy, muchos templos han reemplazado la vela de cera con luces ele ctricas que imitan el fuego de la velita. A muchos no les gusta y se resisten al concepto. No los culpo, ya que hay algo muy especial en la accio n ritual de encender una vela. Sin embargo, hay que recordar que lo importante es la oracio n y no la velita. Hoy se enciende la vela ele ctrica, en tiempos pasados la vela de cera, pero en el primer milenio cris-tiano se encendí a una la mpara de aceite de olivo. Segu n la historia pasaron varios siglos antes de que la Iglesia aceptara la vela de cera en lugar de la de aceite. Los cristianos del siglo XIII se nega-ban a aceptar lo que hoy consideramos tradicio-nal, la vela de cera. Hay que aceptar que nuestras tradiciones cambian al correr del tiempo. No im-porta si quemamos aceite, cera o electricidad. Lo que importa es velar en oracio n.

Pregunta del Día P. Simeón le dijo a la Virgen ", (y a ti misma una

espada te atravesará el alma), para que los pensa-mientos de muchos corazones sean revelados" (Lc 2,35) esta última parte de la profecía ha descon-certado a muchos durante años. Qué significa?

R. Estas palabras de Simeón no estaban dirigidas a la Virgen. Este co-mentario entre paréntesis a ella "(y a ti misma una espada te atravesa-rá el alma)" es anticipar el sufrimiento al cual la madre será sometida. Pero las revelaciones de "los pensamientos de muchos corazones" serán

porque el niño es la causa de ello. "La caída y elevación de muchos en Israel" y de ser "una señal de contradicción. El Obispo Fulton Sheen nos dice que Simeón estaba llamando al Santo Niño "Divino Perturbador" en su libro "Vida de Cristo", escribiendo: "Cuanto más cerca estés de

Cristo más te haces consciente de su culpabilidad; pedirá misericordia y encontrar la paz, o de lo contrario se volverá contra él ... Así él separará a los buenos de los malos, el grano de la paja. La reacción del hombre a

esta Presencia Divina será la prueba "

AUTORIDAD DE DIOS De acuerdo a Moise s, el pueblo decidio que no querí a ya ma s oí r la voz directa de Dios. Era demasiado aterradora. ¿Por que no les podí a Dios enviar a maestros o profetas humanos? Dios acepto pero con una advertencia. El pueblo debí a escuchar a estos maestros, puesto que hablaban en nombre de Dios.

Ese acuerdo, sin embargo, resulto en otros pro-blemas, para ellos y para nosotros. ¿Co mo se si este maestro es en realidad de Dios? Y si el maestro es de Dios, ¿esta n todas las partes de su ensen anza dirigidas a mí ? Tenemos la Iglesia y la Sagrada Escritura para ayudarnos con todas estas preguntas, pero así y todo siempre quedan algunos cabos sueltos.

Ese es el poderoso significado de la frase en el Evangelio de hoy: "Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus palabras, pues ensen aba como quien tiene autoridad y no como los escribas". El pueblo sabí a que este Jesu s era aute ntico -verdaderamente un maestro enviado por Dios. Lo sabí an con so lo escucharle. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
