FEEDING THE WORLD With today’s two accounts of feeding miracles and the psalm response about the Lord’s hand feed-ing us, it is easy to gloss over the marvelous hymn in Ephesians. It is built around the most potent biblical numbers: one, three, and seven. The core of it is the word “one” expressed seven times. Three of these describe the church: one body, one Spirit, one hope; the next three are the foundations of the church: one Lord [Jesus], one faith, one baptism. All of these are bound up together in the one Father of all. While we might feel daunted by the prospect of duplicating the wonders worked by Elisha and Jesus in the feeding of multitudes, Ephesians gives us a more realistic way to live and “feed” others as the church: by living in humility and gentleness, by acting with patience, bearing with each other in love, and always seeking and striving to preserve unity through peace. Who among us cannot increase the way we “feed” the church and the world by living this way? We are al-ways called upon to “feed” the world in the literal sense; but our mission as church tells us that others are also fed by the way we live and act each moment of each day. Copyright © J. S.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Sooner of later, as they plan their wedding litur-gy, a couple will receive some advice about a “unity candle.” They need one, they are told (at great ex-pense); it is a tradition; it is what Catholics have al-ways done. Not so. In the last thirty years or so, the custom has enjoyed wide popularity in the United States. It has never been officially part of our liturgy, and it exists in tension with some of our core sym-bols. Usually there are two smaller candles and one larger one to be lit from the smaller. Large candles in our tradition always mean Christ, and smaller ones are always tokens of our baptismal candle. If the candles are meant for a kind of renewal of baptismal vows, then the meaning is clearer, yet this is seldom the understanding. Why, then, are those smaller can-dles extinguished? It’s hard to tell where these pesky candles came from. Some suggest that the Presbyterian Church, which has a very lean wedding liturgy, introduced them as an option for extending a short service. Gen-erally, it’s been experienced as a “photo opportunity” rather than a genuine liturgical ritual. The “unity can-dle,” a recent invention rather than an authentic tra-dition, has not been approved as an adaptation to our rite, and it is to be hoped that it will gradually disappear from view. —Rev.

A ti, Señor, sus ojos vuel-ven todos y tú los ali-mentas a su tiempo.

— Salmo 145 (144):15

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Para los hispanos y las personas de otras cultu-ras, el recuerdo y vinculación con nuestros antepasa-dos es algo muy importante. De hecho, en las cultu-ras latinoamericanas se usan los apellidos del padre y de la madre para enfatizar de dónde y de quiénes provienen. Muchas personas han conservado esta misma tradición aquí en Estados Unidos. Este senti-do de conectarnos a nuestros antepasados también se encuentra en la fe cristiana. Mediante la im-posición de manos, por citar un ejemplo, llegamos hasta los apóstoles. Podríamos decir que los cuatro evangelios subrayan esta vinculación con los orígenes de nues-tra fe. La forma en que lo hacen, aunque pequeña, es interesante. Luego de que todos comieron de los panes y los peces multiplicados por Jesús, recogi-eron doce canastos llenos de pan. En cierta manera, los evangelistas aseguran que el pan que Jesús dio al gentío de su tiempo nos lo sigue dando hoy en la eucaristía. Ahora, este pan es la carne de Jesús, quien se hace ofrenda y hostia (sacrificio) por no-sotros. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sábado: San Alfonso de Ligorio; Primer sábado

ALIMENTANDO AL MUNDO Al oír las narraciones de cómo Eliseo y Jesús multiplican los alimentos, y el salmo responsorial so-bre como la mano del Señor nos alimenta, es fácil caer en la tentación de pasar por alto el maravilloso himno de la carta a los efesios en la Segunda lectura. El himno se centra en los números más potentes de la tradición bíblica: el uno, el tres y el siete. La mé-dula del himno es el número uno, repetido siete veces. Tres de ellas se refieren a la Iglesia: un solo cuerpo, un solo Espíritu, como también una sola es la esperanza. Los próximas tres son los fundamentos de la Iglesia: un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautis-mo. Y todos estos se juntan en un solo Dios y Padre de todos. La idea de repetir los milagros obrados por Eliseo y por Jesús al alimentar las multitudes nos de-salienta, claro está, pero la carta a los efesios nos ofrece un modo más realizable de vivir como Iglesia y de alimentar a los demás en la Iglesia: ser siempre humildes y amables; ser comprensivos y soportarnos mutuamente con amor, y esforzarnos en man-tenernos unidos en el Espíritu con el vínculo de la paz. ¿Quién de nosotros no puede “alimentar” a la comunidad de la Iglesia viviendo de esta manera? Es verdad que siempre estamos llamados a “alimentar” al mundo en el sentido literal de la palabra, pero nuestra misión como Iglesia también nos dice que a los demás también hay que alimentarlos por la manera en que vivimos y actuamos cada momento de cada día.

CARTA ENCÍCLICA LAUDATO SI’

DEL SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO

SOBRE EL CUIDADO DE LA CASA COMÚN 87. Cuando tomamos conciencia del reflejo de Dios que hay en todo lo que existe, el corazón experimen-ta el deseo de adorar al Señor por todas sus criaturas y junto con ellas, como se expresa en el precioso himno de san Francisco de Asís:

Alabado seas, mi Señor, con todas tus criaturas, especialmente el hermano sol, por quien nos das el día y nos iluminas. Y es bello y radiante con gran esplendor, de ti, Altísimo, lleva significación. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana luna y las estrellas, en el cielo las formaste claras y preciosas, y bellas. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano viento y por el aire, y la nube y el cielo sereno, y todo tiempo, por todos ellos a tus criaturas das sustento. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana agua, la cual es muy humilde, y preciosa y casta. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano fuego, por el cual iluminas la noche, y es bello, y alegre y vigoroso, y fuerte[64].

ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI’

OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS

ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME 87. When we can see God reflected in all that ex-ists, our hearts are moved to praise the Lord for all his creatures and to worship him in union with them. This sentiment finds magnificent expression in the hymn of Saint Francis of Assisi:

Praised be you, my Lord, with all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day and through whom you give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; and bears a likeness of you, Most High. Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars, in heaven you formed them clear and precious and beautiful. Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather through whom you give sustenance to your creatures. Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Water, who is very useful and humble and precious and chaste. Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you light the night, and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong”.[64]
