TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In recent weeks, we have looked at the evolution of how Roman Catholics initiate children into the life of the Church. How did customs evolve in the Eastern Church? At one time, Christians in both East and West preferred to celebrate baptism in a community setting, with large numbers of adults and children initiated at Easter. The two branches of Christianity began to split on the proper time to do this. In the East, water was blessed in abundance on the feast of the Epiphany, which marked, among other things, the baptism of the Lord. Once infant baptism was fixed on that day, local customs marking a birth began to evolve. One celebration was the giving of a name on the eighth day, another was the purification of the mother on the fortieth day after birth. In that blessing, re-enacting Mary and Joseph s journey to the temple, the priest took the baby in his arms and placed the child before the altar. Just as Simeon received the child Jesus, so the priest received the new Christian while chanting Simeon s prayer. Later, normally on Epiphany, the priest would baptize, chrismate (confirm), and give a few drops of the Precious Blood to the child in a joyous celebration of the whole community. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Matthew 16:19 A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT Saint Paul reminds us in today s second reading that the ultimate origin of everything is God. Since everything comes from God, we are God s own. We can never put God in our debt. There is absolutely no negotiating with God. Every breath we take is a gift. Every good deed we perform is grace. Good stewards realize they are created and called to make the beauty, greatness, compassion and justice of God and his gifts known throughout the world. The stewardship question for us is whether we are willing to embrace this call, acknowledge our dependence on God and give our lives over to him completely for this purpose.

San Agustín XXI Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 24 de agosto 2014 "Todo lo que ates en la tierra quedará atado en el cielo; y lo que desates en la tierra será desatado en los cielos ". - Mateo 16:19 Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Ciertas preguntas cambian la vida, aunque ese cambio depende en realidad de nuestra respuesta: Recibes a esta persona como tu cónyuge? Quieres este trabajo? Me perdonas? La pregunta que Jesús hace hoy ciertamente cambia una vida. Nuestra respuesta no es simplemente un ejercicio académico, ni acertar con la respuesta correcta que hemos aprendido en un libro. Nuestra respuesta tiene que llevarnos a un compromiso constante y cotidiano. La respuesta de Pedro ciertamente cambia el curso de su vida. Jesús reconoce que no fue el conocimiento innato de Pedro lo que le hizo responder de esa manera: Tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios vivo, sino que fue el Padre. Y por eso Jesús declara que Pedro será quien dirija a los otros discípulos y a todos los discípulos que vendrían después. Simón, hijo de Juan, pescador, esposo, hermano y también el que negaría haber conocido a Cristo! sería la piedra sobre la cual Jesús edificaría la Iglesia. La respuesta de Pedro cambió su vida. La respuesta de Pedro no fue perfecta, tal como veremos la semana próxima. Así y todo, Jesús la acepta como indicación de que su Padre obra en aquellas personas llamadas a estar con él y a continuar su misión. El Padre eligió obrar en seres humanos falibles. Probablemente no pensemos que somos piedras, pero el futuro de la Iglesia depende de cómo elijamos responder a la pregunta: Según ustedes, quién soy yo? Y de cómo pongamos en práctica nuestra respuesta. James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Derechos de autor 2013, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos reservados.
