The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life is a defined dogma of the Catholic Church. The Feast of the Assumption, celebrated every year on August 15th, is a very old feast of the Church. In commemorates the death of Mary and her assumption into Heaven, ‒a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin’s passing into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a holy day of obligation.

Over the last several weeks, the history of confirmation has been set out as a rite following baptism and preceding First Communion. Eucharist was a sacrament of spiritual maturity, attuned to the legal age of majority, which was considered to be fourteen years or so. Medieval bishops were often generous, if not especially pious, in seeing to it that children were confirmed before adulthood. A pattern more familiar to us surfaced in the Diocese of Toulon in France in 1748, where it was decreed that “children are to be confirmed only after receiving First Communion.” This was an amazing shift in practice that undermined centuries of theology and tradition by which confirmation was seen as a bridge between font and table. The innovation swept through France and across Europe, despite constant complaints from Rome. French-trained bishops like Cheverus of Boston and Carroll of Baltimore, founders of the American church, established the practice here. The order of the sacraments was thus disrupted in France and in the United States, and remained an eccentric exception to the rule until big developments in 1910. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.

BELIEF AND DOUBT Last week we heard the Gospel story of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fish. Peter was present as thousands were miraculously fed. This week, we hear the story of Jesus walking on water. Peter doubts that it is the Lord and challenges him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” There is so much of Peter in each of us. One moment we witness a tremendous miracle and the very next moment we doubt the Lord! Our faith, like Peter’s, often falters. We become frightened just as Peter did. When he began to sink, Peter cried out, “Lord, save me!” There are times when we feel as though we are sinking. We cry out and, inevitably, are lifted up out of our troubles by the hand of God. Notice the last line of today’s Gospel. The disciples in the boat, after witnessing yet another miracle, say, “Truly, you are the Son of God.” Yet within a very short time they will all desert the Lord, only to be embraced by him again after his resurrection. This Gospel, in a nutshell, describes the Christian life. We believe, then we doubt, believe, and doubt again. Remember, though, that the real miracle here is that God is ready to embrace us again and again. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

Domingo 10 de Agosto. Domingo 19 del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Por los motivos que sean, y siempre por la gracia del mismo Dios, hay veces que experimentamos deseos sinceros de encontrarnos con Él. Queremos descubrirlo, conocerlo un poco más y mejor, acomodar nuestra vida a su voluntad. Y lo buscamos. No siempre logramos nuestro propósito. Y, en muchas ocasiones, nuestra pregunta es: ¿Dónde se revela Dios? Es decir, ¿dónde puedo encontrarme con Él? La palabra de Dios nos habla de ello. Así le sucedió al profeta Elías quien esperaba que el Señor se le manifestara en el viento huracanado, en el terremoto o en el fuego. Pero allí no estaba el Señor. Y sólo cuando prestó atención al susurro del viento descubrió la presencia del Señor. Así, pues, en lo imperceptible, en lo insignificante, en lo que tantas veces nos pasa desapercibido. En definitiva, en aquello que constituye el noventa por ciento de nuestra vida. ¿Cómo puede llamarse eso? Marido, esposa, hijos, padres, vecinos, compañeros de trabajo. Tareas de la casa, dedicación profesional, amabilidad con todos. Sin duda. En contra de lo que generalmente pensamos todos, pues nos parece que a Dios hay que descubrirlo en acontecimientos que se salen de lo ordinario, en sucesos que tienen que ver con lo milagroso. Y, por eso, buscamos encontrarnos hasta con apariciones o signos que nos parecerían indiscutibles. Tampoco está el Señor en la calma y en la tranquilidad, entendidas como ausencia de esfuerzo y de inseguridad, o como sinónimo de bienestar y de felicidad. Es lo que nosotros creemos y vivimos: cuando las cosas nos van bien y no se nos complica nada, entonces, fácilmente, aceptamos al Señor en nuestra vida, y hasta pensamos, y lo decimos, que es bueno con nosotros. ¿Y cuándo se tuercen las cosas? ¿Y cuándo se nos oscurece el horizonte? Nos parece que Él nos ha abandonado. Pues, en el Evangelio se nos deja claro que al Señor lo podemos encontrar, y con más fuerza que en otros "sitios", en medio de la noche y de la dificultad. ¿Quién ha dicho que el sufrimiento, el esfuerzo, la dificultad, siempre son perjudiciales? Ni mucho menos. Bien entendidos y vividos, nos brindan la oportunidad de poner en juego actitudes que, de otro modo, no seríamos capaces de sacar a flote en nosotros mismos. En esas situaciones, descubrimos, en primer lugar, nuestra propia limitación. Y, desde ahí, salimos al encuentro de la ayuda que no tenemos en nosotros. Eso solo ya sería suficiente beneficio. Pero, además, habiendo pasado por esas circunstancias, nos hacemos mucho más comprensivos, abiertos y solidarios para con los demás. Es ahí, sin duda, donde maduramos como personas. Hoy, se nos invita a abrazarnos con todas las circunstancias de nuestra vida. Y, en ellas, pequeñas o grandes, sencillas, fáciles o difíciles, descubrir la presencia del Señor. P. Jairo

Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 10 de agosto de 2014 La fidelidad brotó en la tierra y la justicia vino del cielo. — Salmo 85 (84):12
Para reflexionar El Valor infinito de la Misa Venimos a misa para celebrar algo en común: esa debe ser nuestra actitud, y no la de encerramos en nosotros mismos: somos Pueblo de Dios, somos el Cuerpo de Cristo, somos una comunidad; ∗ porque todos formamos esta Iglesia en pequeño, los demás tienen en algún sentido derecho a nuestra presencia; así les ayudamos a celebrar mejor y a animarse en su fe; ∗ debemos ser puntuales: por respeto a la comunidad y a lo que vamos a celebrar; en los primeros minutos (el canto, el saludo, etc.), incluido el ensayo de los cantos, se prepara y se da sentido a toda la celebración; ∗ no deberíamos quedar dispersos por los bancos de la iglesia, sino agruparnos razonablemente delante, para crear un clima más expresivo de comunidad celebrante.
