A message from Fr. Tony

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! “Holy, holy, holy!” Ancient languages, like the Hebrew used in the scriptures, did not always have a way to express superla ves in one word. Isaiah could not say God was “holiest,” so he used the threefold repe on of the same word. This bit of scriptural minu ae about these “three li le words” that we sing at every Mass serves as a reminder that answering God’s call has to be grounded in awareness of God’s holiness. In Isaiah and in the Gospel passage to-day, we hear accounts of the revela on of God’s power and might: the seraphim in the temple and the miraculous catch of fish. These are not wondrous revela ons for their own sakes. They lead to a response in mission, Isaiah’s “Here I am, send me!” and the disciples’ leaving everything to follow Jesus. And so must our own “Holy, Holy, Holy!” lead us to Christ in the Eucharist every Sunday, and to a life following him day by day.

Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony

¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO! “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!”. Los idiomas an guos, como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían la manera de expresar superla vos en una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a “san simo”, así que usó la triple repe ción de la misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia bíblica sobre estas “tres pequeñas palabras” que canta-mos en Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al llamado de Dios ene que basarse en estar cons-ciente de la san dad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta misionera, la de “Aquí estoy, ¡envíame!” de Isaías y la de los discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual manera nuestro “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!” nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaris a de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

As the Roman Empire sha ered and collapsed, the bishops were the people best equipped to catch the falling stones. In the West (that’s us), they sought to stabilize society by weaving a structure of laws and courts to uphold the rights and dignity of married couples in a chao c world. The bishops in the East had a different approach, even allowing the dissolu on of marriages in certain cases. To an extent, the bishops took a measure of control away from the fathers of families in order to provide pastoral care for those who suffered most in the social collapse: women and children.

In the West, much of the marriage law was contained in the “peniten al books” the bishops devised to regulate the lives of public sinners. In the seventh century, Theodore of Canterbury’s peniten al book said that he had the power to give consent to remarriage in the case of a poor fellow whose wife had been carried off by the Vikings. If the Vikings subsequently brought her back, she could remarry, too! No bishop ever made peace with divorce, but there was never a me when the pastoral concern of the church was not struggling with how to care for people in unhappy situa ons.
