TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
All Christians in both East and West embraced the care of the sick as essential to church life. In the West, the importance of the visit of the priest is
stressed, while in the East, the sick person is brought to the church for a full Liturgy of the Word. Some, such as the Armenians, even call it the “Ritual of the Lamp,” since the oil is poured out of the lamp by which the Word is read. This may be
why Eastern Christians sometimes anoint the sick with this oil, since the trip to church might kill them.
Our tradition in the West also unfolded in monasteries, where it was possible for in-firm monks to be attended with a full and beautifully consoling liturgy.
In 950 the monks of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz produced a ceremonial book that was instantly a pastoral hit everywhere. There were two lengthy rituals for the sick, one an
extended vigil, and the other a liturgy of anointing that
included Communion under both species. While this ritual was a house formula for monks, it is easy to see how monks who had the care of parishes
desired to serve their parishioners in a similar way. The first form included the chant-ing of penitential psalms, and the second form required a confession beforehand.
Both forms included a laying on of hands, which everyone understood as being an essential part of penance.

GET READY
The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the belief of the entire early Christian community that the
re-turn of Christ was imminent. Therefore, to devote time or attention to anything else was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today we may wonder, when we hear these readings about the coming end-times, if we should take them to heart. What should we do when we hear that the day of the Lord will come upon us “like a thief at
night”? (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Does this mean we are to stop our long-range goal setting, get rid of our yearly calendars and planners, or stop putting money in the college education fund? Of course not. What it does mean is that we need to change
our lives, living like children of the light and illuminating the world around us with the light of the gospel. Then, on that day, when the details of our daily living become
un-important, we will be ready to find our peace and security in Christ Jesus.

En 1682 unos negociantes encontraron una caja abandonada en una playa al sur de El Salvador. Como no pudieron abrirla decidieron llevársela
al pueblito de San Miguel para conseguir con qué abrirla. Montaron la caja en un burrito y comenzaron su camino. Al pasar por la iglesia parroquial, el burrito se sentó y la caja se abrió revelando una bella
imagen de la Virgen.
En aquel entonces el pueblo de El Salvador estaba divido por la guerra pero con la llegada de esta imagen milagrosa el pueblo buscó reconciliarse. En 1833 hubo otra guerra en El Salvador y los que salieron victoriosos prometieron a María no vengarse en contra de los perdedores. Por estos hechos se le concedió a la imagen el nombre Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Su imagen de madera tallada y vestida lleva una palma en la mano
recordando un milagro donde por la intercesión de la Virgen de la Paz, Dios salvó al pueblo de la explosion de un volcán. La palma recuerda que
el humo que salía del volcán formaba una palma en el cielo.

PREPÁRENSE
Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses son de sus primeros escritos, y fueron motivadas por su creencia y la de toda la primera comunidad cristiana de que el regreso de Cristo era inminente, y por eso sería una
tontería dar tiempo o atención a otras cosas.
Con el pasar del tiempo, ese fervor comenzaba a disminuir un poco. Hoy día, cuando escuchamos estas lecturas sobre el fin del mundo, podemos preguntarnos si de veras creemos que Cristo va a venir entre nosotros como “un ladrón en la noche” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). Si la respuesta es
“Sí”, ¿debemos, o no, dejar nuestra planificación a largo plazo, deshacernos de nuestros calendarios y agendas, y suspender los ahorros para la educación universitaria de nuestros hijos? Seguro que no. Pero, lo que sí quiere decir es que deberíamos cambiar nuestra vida y vivir como
hijos de la luz e iluminar el mundo a nuestro alrededor con la luz del Evangelio. Entonces, en aquel día, cuando los detalles de nuestra rutina diaria ya no importen, estaremos listos para encontrar nuestra paz y

GOD’S WORD TODAYDuring the time of Jesus, a talent was an extremely large sum of money. Sixty minas made up one talent and a mina equaled one hundred dinarii. Two
thousand years ago, an average worker in Palestine earned one dinarius a day. When Jesus told the parable we hear in today’s Gospel, he knew his
listeners would realize that each of the servants had been
entrusted with a huge sum of money. This money, well invested, had the potential for earning a tremendous amount more. The spiritual talents entrusted to us during our pilgrimage on earth also have the potential for yielding extraordinary results. These spiritual gifts must be invested. In other
words, they must be used. When used, they help build up the kingdom of God. They bring peace and comfort to the despairing. They bring the good news to the disenfranchised. They bring food and shelter to the hungry and homeless. As the liturgical year winds down, this parable asks us to assess the extent to which we have invested our spiritual talents. Their potential is extraordinary. How extraordinary are the results of our investment of them in
the last year?
From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
Durante la época de Jesús un talento representaba una cantidad de dinero extremadamente grande. Sesenta minas eran un talento y una mina equivalía a cien denarios. Hace dos mil años un trabajador promedio en Palestina ganaba un denario diario. Cuando Jesús contó la parábola que
escuchamos en el Evangelio de hoy estaba consciente de que su audiencia se daría cuenta de que a cada uno de los siervos se le había confiado una inmensa cantidad de dinero. Este dinero bien invertido tenía la
posibilidad de rendir una tremenda cantidad adicional. Los talentos espirituales que se nos confían a nosotros durante nuestra peregrinación
terrenal también tienen la posibilidad de producir resultados
extraordinarios. Estos dones espirituales tienen que ser invertidos. En otras palabras, tienen que ser usados. Cuando se usan ayudan a edificar el Reino
de Dios. Traen la paz y el consuelo a los desesperanzados. Traen la buena nueva a los desamparados. Traen alimento y techo a los que no lo tienen. A
medida que el año litúrgico va llegando a su fin, esta
parábola nos pide evaluar hasta dónde hemos invertido nuestros talentos espirituales. El potencial rendimiento de esa
inversión es extraordinario. ¿Cuán extraordinarios son los resultados de nuestra inversión en esos talentos durante este
año pasado?
