Life with Christ: The Christian Funeral

1680 All the sacraments, and principally those of Christian initiation, have as their goal the last Passover of the child of God which, through death, leads him into the life of the Kingdom. Then what he confessed in faith and hope will be fulfilled: "I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come."

The Christian's Last Passover 1681 The Christian meaning of death is revealed in the light of the Paschal mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ in whom resides our only hope. the Christian who dies in Christ Jesus is "away from the body and at home with the Lord." 1682 For the Christian the day of death inaugurates, at the end of his sacramental life, the fulfillment of his new birth begun at Baptism, the definitive "conformity" to "the image of the Son" conferred by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and participation in the feast of the King-dom which was anticipated in the Eucharist - even if final purifications are still necessary for him in order to be clothed with the nuptial gar-ment. 1683 The Church who, as Mother, has borne the Christian sacramental-ly in her womb during his earthly pilgrimage, accompanies him at his journey's end, in order to surrender him "into the Father's hands." She offers to the Father, in Christ, the child of his grace, and she commits to the earth, in hope, the seed of the body that will rise in glory. This of-fering is fully celebrated in the Eucharistic sacrifice; the blessings be-fore and after Mass are sacramentals.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This week we have in All Souls’ Day a commem-oration that is linked to the Halloween customs. The big-spending sugar shock holiday is a long way removed from Thursday’s grateful remembrance of the souls who are hidden from our sight, but alive to Christ. Old pagan su-perstitions might find us holding our breath when going by the graveyard, whereas others might actually go to the cemetery to tend the family graves, to share good food, and remember dear ones. Nowhere does a culture embrace this day as fully as in Mexico. The “Day of the Dead” is a national holiday that unfolds over three full days. For three thousand years, the indigenous people of Mexico have been mocking death in an annual festival, and the invading Spaniards were shocked at the spectacle. To the Aztecs, life was a dream, and death was the entry into full life. Skulls were thus a symbol of joy and release from life’s sorrows. The missionaries found all this a bit creepy, but they moved the three-day feast from August to synchronize it with the Christian calendar. So today, graves are decorated, altars are built in the home to honor the family dead, children feast on candy skulls, and people dress up in elaborate skeleton outfits. The devout spend hours in the cemetery, and there is a lively sense of the communion of saints, the living and the dead. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BALANCE Today’s scriptures emphasize the fundamental link between love of God and love of our neighbors, especially those who are most in need. Love of God should compel us to love the people whom God cherishes. Conversely, work for justice and charity for those in need should be rooted in our love of God. That connection and balance, however, isn’t always easy to maintain in our lives. Even in religious orders we find that some Christians are more oriented toward con-templation and prayer, while others are more active in reaching out to those who are oppressed. Today Jesus re-minds us of the necessity for both in the life of faith. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Making Those Funeral Arrangements Planning or even thinking about one’s own funeral is un-pleasant and therefore something we tend to push far out of our minds. When the time finally comes it leaves the family stressed and overwhelmed by all the decisions they must make. You can relieve some of this stress for your loved ones by planning your Funeral Liturgy (Mass of Christian Burial). Lynn Berhalter would like to assist you in choosing the Scrip-tures to be read at your funeral Mass according to the archdi-ocesan guidelines. She can also help you choose the hymns that will add to the solemnity of your Mass. This is simple to do and it helps fulfill your wishes and eases your families’ burden. Make an appointment to see Lynn at the rectory to get started. Your plans will be kept on file at Holy Trinity Church and may be amended anytime if you wish. Planning ahead ensures your family that the readings and music you desired are carried out and they need not worry. It is a beautiful final gesture, a gift to those who grieve. Call 201-343-5170 now and make your appointment.

Vida con Cristo Las Exequias Cristianas

1680 Todos los sacramentos, principalmente los de la iniciación cristiana, tienen como fin último la Pascua definitiva del cris-tiano, es decir, la que a través de la muerte hace entrar al cre-yente en la vida del Reino. Entonces se cumple en él lo que la fe y la esperanza han confesado: "Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro" (Símbolo de Niceno-Constantinopolitano).

La última Pascua del cristiano 1681 El sentido cristiano de la muerte es revelado a la luz del Misterio Pascual de la muerte y de la resurrección de Cristo, en quien radica nuestra única esperanza. El cristiano que muere en Cristo Jesús "sale de este cuerpo para vivir con el Señor" (2 Co 5,8). 1682 El día de la muerte inaugura para el cristiano, al término de su vida sacramental, la plenitud de su nuevo nacimiento co-menzado en el Bautismo, la "semejanza" definitiva a "imagen del Hijo", conferida por la Unción del Espíritu Santo y la parti-cipación en el Banquete del Reino anticipado en la Eucaristía, aunque pueda todavía necesitar últimas purificaciones para re-vestirse de la túnica nupcial. 1683 La Iglesia que, como Madre, ha llevado sacramentalmente en su seno al cristiano durante su peregrinación terrena, lo acompaña al término de su caminar para entregarlo "en las ma-nos del Padre". La Iglesia ofrece al Padre, en Cristo, al hijo de su gracia, y deposita en la tierra, con esperanza, el germen del cuerpo que resucitará en la gloria (cf 1 Co 15,42-44). Esta ofrenda es plenamente celebrada en el Sacrificio eucarístico; las bendiciones que preceden y que siguen son sacramentales.

AMOR INCLUSIVO El amor a nuestro prójimo está incluido en el amor de Dios. —Santo Tomás de Aquino TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuando era niño tuve problemas con inaguantables dolores de cabeza. Después de casi tres meses batallando con esta enfer-medad una señora me regaló una estampita de san Martín de Porres que contenía un pedacito de su hábito. Dormí con esta estampita debajo de mi almohada y al tercer día sané de mi do-lor. Fue así como conocí por primera vez a este santo negrito y a sus animalitos. Martín fue un religioso dominico de nacionalidad peruana que vivió de 1579 a 1639 y fue canonizado en 1962. Sin lugar a dudas, es uno de los santos más populares de América Latina. En él encontramos una persona con la cual nos podemos identi-ficar ya que muchas veces a nosotros nos limitan las oportunida-des debido a nuestro origen y el color de nuestra piel. Por su origen (era hijo de un español y de una africana) ilegítimo y su color mulato, Martín tuvo problemas para ingresar a la Orden de los Predicadores. Eventualmente la santidad de sus obras y la fama de sus milagros le abrieron camino para incorporarse ple-namente a los dominicos. Normalmente es representado con una escoba y unos ani-malitos, recordando la humildad de su servicio pastoral. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

EQUILIBRIO Las lecturas bíblicas de hoy recalcan el lazo fundamental que existe entre el amor de Dios y el amor al prójimo, especial-mente a los más necesitados. El amor de Dios debe impulsarnos a amar a la gente a quien Dios aprecia. A la inversa, el trabajo por la justicia y la caridad en pro de los necesitados debe estar enraizado en nuestro amor a Dios. Sin embargo, esa conexión y equilibrio no son siempre fáciles de mantener en nuestra vida. Aun en las órdenes religiosas hallamos a algunos cristianos más orientados hacia la contemplación y la oración, mientras que otros son más activos en su servicio a los oprimidos. Hoy Jesús nos recuerda la necesidad de ambos aspectos en la vida de fe. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
