A Letter from Father... Page 2 February 7 , 2016

The Echo of Ashes “Remember you are dust and dust you shall return.”

the large brown bowl rests on a purple cloth its roundness holding ashes freshly burned black and ready for wearing.

blackened thumbs press the ancient sign upon the waiting foreheads.

I hear the message repeated until it haunts and haunts me down: remember, remember, remember you are dust, dust, only dust someday only dust will remain.

the echo of the Lent-stained ashes speaks the truth of my humanity: the humbleness of my beginning, the simplicity of my departure.

A few wise words echoing through Ash Wednesday urge me to deeper things: renewed dedication, constant compassion, and mindful awareness.

I leave marveling at how simple and sublime is this envelope of the soul, which one day returns to dust, dust, only dust. ——Joyce Rupp

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As the Roman Empire shattered and collapsed, the bishops were the people best equipped to catch the falling stones. In the West (that’s us), they sought to stabilize society by weaving a structure of laws and courts to uphold the rights and dignity of married couples in a chaotic world. The bishops in the East had a different approach, even allow-ing the dissolution of marriages in certain cases. To an extent, the bishops took a measure of control away from the fa-thers of families in order to provide pastoral care for those who suffered most in the social collapse: women and chil-dren. In the West, much of the marriage law was contained in the “penitential books” the bishops devised to regulate the lives of public sinners. In the seventh century, Theodore of Canterbury’s penitential book said that he had the power to give consent to remarriage in the case of a poor fellow whose wife had been carried off by the Vikings. If the Vikings subsequently brought her back, she could remarry, too! No bishop ever made peace with divorce, but there was never a time when the pastoral concern of the church was not struggling with how to care for people in unhappy situations.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas mi abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra en su rancho. Mientras el fuego ardía, papa Manuel nos explicaba que era necesario re-ducir todo en cenizas para que la tierra recobrara sus fuerzas y quedará más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi abuelo me dio la ima-gen que hasta hoy sostiene mi concepto del Miércoles de Cenizas y de la cuaresma. El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado el comienzo de la Cuaresma. No cabe duda que para los latinos este día es de particular atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año litúrgico en cual llegamos al templo en masa por tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente. Nosotros somos un pueblo enraizado en la tierra y sabemos que la tierra necesita quemarse de vez en cuando para seguir produciendo. Nosotros como la tierra necesitamos dominarnos y cultivarnos para producir frutos y flores para el Señor y los demás.
