Notes from the Pastor

Notas del Párroco

On Friday of this week, we will celebrate the memorial of a saint who has only been on the Church Calendar for five years. When a saint is assigned a date in the liturgical calendar, it is customary the date of the saint’s death. But for Pope (now Saint) John XXIII, October 11 was chosen. It was on this date in 1962 that Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council, the most important event in the Church in many centuries. The Holy Father was at the time 80 years old, so it surprised everyone that he would undertake such a momentous task at his age. Nonetheless, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Pope John felt strongly that the Church needed what he called an aggiornamento, an updating and a fresh outlook so that the Church could respond to the many challenges of the the 20th century. Born in 1881 into a poor family of sharecroppers with thirteen children, no one could have guessed that this boy named Angelo Roncalli would one day lead the Church of Rome into a new era. He early discerned a vocation to the priesthood. His pious family struggled to send their son to the seminary which was a big expense for them as well as the loss of another breadwinner for the home. Angelo was an excellent student, so much so that after graduation he was sent to receive a doctorate in theology. Once ordained, he quickly showed himself to be a capable administrator as well as a holy and effective priest. Recognizing his talents, Angelo’s superiors continue to task him with greater responsibilities. He was eventually named papal nuncio to Bulgaria where he worked tirelessly both to make accords with the Orthodox Church as well as to preserve Church freedom. Eventually, he was elevated to the post of Cardinal Archbishop (or Patriarch) of Venice. On the death of Pope Pius XII 1958, Archbishop Angelo Roncalli was called to Rome along with the other cardinals to elect a new pope. He was surprised and humbled when he was chosen. Though his reign as pope was only 5 years, John XXIII (as he named himself) has had a lasting effect on our Church, especially as regards the reform of the Liturgy of the Mass, the openness and encouragement of lay ministries, the ecumenical bond with other Christian churches as well as with the Jewish faith. He will be remembered always for his exuberant personality and the great love and concern he demonstrated to others. Pope John XXIII was canonized together with Pope John Paul II on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27th, 2014. As extraordinary as it was to be canonizing two popes in the same ceremony, it was equally amazing and unprecedented to have two living popes, Benedict XVI and our current Holy Father, Frances I, both as celebrants at the liturgy. Fr. Ulysses

El viernes de esta semana, celebraremos el memorial de un santo que solo ha estado en el Calendario de la Iglesia durante cinco años. Cuando a un santo se le asigna una fecha en el calendario litúrgico, se acostumbra la fecha de la muerte del santo. Pero para el Papa (ahora San) Juan XXIII, se eligió el 11 de octubre. Fue en esta fecha en 1962 que el Papa Juan XXIII abrió el Concilio Vaticano II, el evento más importante en la Iglesia en muchos siglos. El Santo Padre tenía en ese momento 80 años, por lo que sorprendió a todos que emprendería una tarea tan importante a su edad. Sin embargo, bajo la inspiración del Espíritu Santo, el Papa Juan sintió firmemente que la Iglesia necesitaba lo que llamó un aggiornamento, una actualización y una nueva perspectiva para que la Iglesia pudiera responder a los muchos desafíos del siglo XX. Nacido en 1881 en una familia pobre de aparceros con trece hijos, nadie podría haber adivinado que este niño llamado Angelo Roncalli algún día conduciría a la Iglesia de Roma a una nueva era. Temprano discernió una vocación al sacerdocio. Su familia piadosa tuvo problemas para enviar a su hijo al seminario, lo que fue un gran gasto para ellos y la pérdida de otro sostén de la familia. Angelo fue un excelente estudiante, tanto que después de graduarse fue enviado a recibir un doctorado en teología. Una vez ordenado, rápidamente demostró ser un administrador capaz, así como un sacerdote santo y efectivo. Reconociendo su talento, los superiores de Angelo continúan asignándole tareas con mayores responsabilidades. Finalmente fue nombrado nuncio papal en Bulgaria, donde trabajó incansablemente tanto para hacer acuerdos con la Iglesia Ortodoxa como para preservar la libertad de la Iglesia Católica. Finalmente, fue elevado al cargo de Cardenal Arzobispo (o Patriarca) de Venecia. A la muerte del papa Pío XII en 1958, el Arzobispo Angelo Roncalli fue llamado a Roma junto con los otros cardenales para elegir un nuevo papa. Estaba sorprendido y humillado cuando fue elegido. Aunque su reinado como Papa fue de solo 5 años, Juan XXIII (como se llamó a sí mismo) ha tenido un efecto duradero en nuestra Iglesia, especialmente en lo que respecta a la reforma de la Liturgia de la Misa, la apertura y el estímulo de los ministerios laicos, el vínculo ecuménico con otras iglesias cristianas, así como con la fe judía. Siempre será recordado por su exuberante personalidad y el gran amor y preocupación que demostró a los demás. El Papa Juan XXIII fue canonizado junto con el Papa Juan Pablo II el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia, 27 de abril de 2014. Tan extraordinario como fue canonizar a dos papas en la misma ceremonia, fue igualmente sorprendente y sin precedentes tener dos papas vivos, Benedicto XVI y nuestro actual Santo Padre, Francisco I, ambos como celebrantes de esa liturgia. Padre Ulises
