Second Collection
Our hearts and prayers go out to the families that have lost loved ones and to all those living in com-
munities who have lost homes and businesses along with their sense of security. We also stand with our brother
bishops in the region who have the difficult task of pro-
viding pastoral care in these most trying times while managing simultaneously their own losses. On Septem-
ber 17-18 we will have a second collection for our af-fected brothers and sisters in Louisiana. This emergency
collection will be used both to support the humanitarian efforts of Catholic Charities and to provide pastoral and
rebuilding support to impacted dioceses.—Daniel Cardi-
nal DiNardo.
Por la mañana sácianos de tu misericordia, y toda nuestra vida será alegría y júbilo. — Salmo 90 (89):14 pg. 5

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Sometimes, this “Treasures” column can seem to be a species of crib-notes for Catholic Jeopardy. Indeed, you
may never know when knowledge of our particular vo-cabulary may come in handy. Such is the case with papal
bulls, which conjure up all sorts of images, but are actu-
ally not what you might expect. A bull is a papal letter on a matter of great consequence, such as a decision about
a crisis in the Church, the declaration of a doctrine, the summoning of a council, or the canonization of a saint. It
has a more solemn intention than a mere letter or even an encyclical, a teaching letter circulated through the
whole Church. Its odd name comes from the Latin bulla,
which is the stamp used to apply a signatorial design to the hot lead, or even molten silver or gold, that seals the
decree. The format for the bull is the name of the pope in
Latin, followed by the title “servant of the servants of
God,” also in Latin, and then the text. The title of the bull is always the first two words of the text. Some famous
papal bulls are Exsurge Domine (Arise, O Lord), written against Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses in 1520; Muni-ficentissimus Deus (The Most Bountiful God), the promul-gation of the dogma of the Assumption in 1950 by Pope
Pius XII; or Humanae Salutis (Human Salvation), by
which Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council in 1962.—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1976 un grupo de madres argentinas comenzó
una vigilia silenciosa en frente de las oficinas guberna-mentales en la Plaza de Mayo. Vestían de negro, con un
pañuelo blanco en la cabeza y protestaban la desapari-ción de sus hijos. Poco a poco esta protesta de madres se
fue expandiendo a El Salvador y otros países donde agen-
tes del gobierno hacían desaparecer a los que obraban por la justicia y el bienestar del pueblo.
En Latinoamérica la Virgen de los Dolores que viste de negro y llora la muerte de su hijo quien estaba en la
flor de la vida se ha transformado en la Madre de los Des-aparecidos. Ella acompaña silenciosamente en la protesta
de tanta latina que ha perdido hijos, maridos y hermanos
a autoridades injustas o cobardes. La vigilia de las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo terminó
en enero de 2006 cuando por fin se encontraron con un gobierno que busca los desaparecidos con ellas. Lamenta-
blemente en muchos lugares las madres de los desapare-
cidos todavía no pueden contar con las autoridades civi-les. Con ellas María se une en protesta silenciosa. —Fray Gilberto
