EYEWITNESSES

T oday, the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, is a day of eyewitness accounts. The first, a vision reported by the prophet Daniel, was well known to Jesus and his apos-

tles. The vision account was written in quite mystical and figurative language. It is a vision of heaven, powerful and memorable. There are flames of fire, burning wheels, the Ancient One, and a Son of Man. Clearly, Daniel saw something. But was it a dream? Was it real? Was it merely a clever myth? Peter wants no such confusion about his vision! We are told in Mat-thew’s Gospel what he and his friends James and John saw when they went up on the mountain with Jesus one day. Jesus warned the three witnesses to tell no one until “the Son of Man has been raised from the dead” (Matthew 17:9). Lest readers of one of the Gospels discount the story or simply write it off as a pious myth, Peter gives his own account of the Transfiguration of Jesus in his second letter to the church. He writes with authority, as an eyewitness. He reports this message from God concerning Jesus: “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased,” and he assures us that the message is “altogether relia-ble” (2 Peter 1:17, 19).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

A s the Latin Mass evolved in the first six centu-ries, the central prayer, what the Greeks called the

anaphora and what we call today the Eu-charistic Prayer, be-came fairly standard almost everywhere in the West. What we now know as Eucharistic Prayer I, or the Roman Canon, took a complex shape, not at all like the fluid and spontaneous prayers of early Rome, but a real architectural construction. The city of Rome was in a terrible condition by that time, and a series of political upheavals, plagues, and invasions swept through. Not much of Rome’s former glory was left standing, except for the pope, who became a symbol of protection and hope for the troubled people. The structures of law and administration were swept away in the chaos, and the pope gradually assumed authority to restore and maintain order. Soon, the public liturgy of Rome be-came the city’s only glory. The Romans wanted “good order” not only in their civic life, but in their liturgy. One prayer, increasingly enriched by music (although when the music tried to overtake the prayer the pope banned musical instruments entirely) was the new rule of the day. That one prayer, the Roman Canon, was solidly in place when the first liturgical book we have, the Leonine Sacramentary of 540, was compiled. -Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TESTIGOS

H oy, la fiesta de la Transfiguración del Señor, es día de testimonios de testigo ocular. El primero, una visión

que el profeta Daniel re-porta, era muy conocido por Jesús y sus apóstoles. Es una poderosa y memorable visión del cielo. Tiene llama-radas de fuego, ruedas en-cendidas, el sabio anciano y el Hijo del Hombre. Es claro que Daniel vio algo. Pero, ¿fue un sueño? ¿Fue algo real? ¿O fue solamente un mito astuto? ¡Pedro no quiere que su visión sea confundida de igual manera! Nos cuenta el Evangelio de san Marcos lo que él y sus amigos Santiago y Juan vieron cuando subieron un día a la montaña con Jesús. Jesús les or-denó a los tres testigos que no dijeran nada hasta que “el Hijo del Hombre resucitara de entre los muer-tos” (Marcos 9:9). Por si los lectores del Evangelio dan por descontada la historia o simplemente la des-cartan como un mito piadoso, Pedro escribe su pro-pia versión de la Transfiguración de Jesús en su se-gunda carta a la Iglesia. Escribe con autoridad, como testigo ocular. Reporta este mensaje de Dios referen-te a Jesús: “Este es mi Hijo muy querido, al que miro con cariño”, y nos asegura que el mensaje es digno de “creer(se) firmemente”. -Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

E sta semana celebramos la memoria del santo patrono de los cocineros, san Lorenzo. Este español del

siglo tercero fue uno de siete diáconos del Papa Sixto II, en Ro-ma. Su ministerio con-sistía en repartir li-mosnas a los pobres. En el año 257 se pronunció una nueva persecu-ción a los cristianos en Roma y el día 6 de agosto unos soldados romanos asesinaron al Papa y a cua-tro de sus diáconos. Lorenzo, cuyo nombre significa laureado o premiado, fue arrestado tras la batalla y llevado ante el alcalde de Roma. Este mandó traer todas las riquezas de la Iglesia, pero Lorenzo ya ha-cía tiempo que las había vendido para dar el dinero a los más necesitados. No obstante, se marchó de la

presencia del alcalde para luego llegar con él, acompañado de gente pobre y enferma, insistiendo que ellos eran las verdaderas riquezas de la Iglesia. El alcalde, furioso, lo mandó quemar sobre brazas para que muriera lentamente. Según testigos de su martirio, Lorenzo, a cierto punto dijo a sus asesinos: “Ya estoy asado de este lado, voltéenme para asarme por completo”. Even-tualmente dijo: “La carne esta lista, ya pueden co-mer” y falleció orando por la conversión de Roma. -Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
