Liturgy Corner: Lord’s Prayer

Question: Why don’t Catholics add the “For yours is the Kingdom ...” prayer at the end of the Our Father like Protestants do? Where did it come from?

Answer: The conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer that you refer to is called a doxology, which is a prayer of glory and praise. This particular doxology we do use in the Mass. After the Our Father, the priest prays the prayer that begins, “Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil...” and the people respond with the doxology. The doxology is not found in the Bible, but it is very ancient. It was first found in The Didache, also called “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles,” which dates probably from about the year AD 90. It was a letter of instruction to early converts to Christianity. Protestantism dates only to the sixteenth century, so the doxology is actually a Catholic prayer. Some scholars and the catechism (#2760) indicate that the doxology was connected to the celebration of the Eucharist and was not used apart from it.

Remember, both the Lord’s Prayer and the Eucharist were part of the “mysteries of faith,” things taught only to believers. Ironically, a remnant of a prayer used during the celebration of the Eucharist has comes to be used widely by many Christian churches that do not celebrate the Eucharist! Truth is indeed stranger than fiction! MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO – ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA

22 de agosto 2021 21er Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Lo que pasó en tiempos de Jesús, sigue pasando hoy día. Muchos le abandonan por cualquier bagatela, se dejan engañar fácilmente y hablan en contra de él y de su Evangelio. Inclusive algunos piensan que seguirle es de tontos. Pues, deja decirte Señor, que yo también reacciono como Pedro ante la pregunta: “¿Quieren marcharse también ustedes?” (Juan 60:67). El lenguaje duro utilizado por Jesús los desconcertaba. Seguirte no es fácil; el camino de tus enseñanzas provoca un cambio radical con referencia a la justicia y al amor. Solo el que entienda tu lenguaje puede responder como Pedro: “Señor, ¿A quién iríamos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. Nosotros creemos y sabemos que tú eres el Santo de Dios” (Juan 60:67-69).

Ahora bien, con tantas experiencias vividas en este año pasado (2020), muchas personas se han dado cuenta qué vacía y sin sentido es la vida llevada a la ligera. Nos hemos dado cuenta que la ambición de tener y vivir corriendo no vale la pena. Lo que cuenta es tener una vida unida a Ti, por la oración y la entrega a los demás, y es una gran bendición el comprenderlo y ponerlo a prueba. El ser humano se ha dado cuenta que lo que sí vale la pena es la salud para poder trabajar y llevar la comida a la mesa familiar. El Papa Francisco nos lleva aún más allá: “Qué difícil es perdonar siempre a quienes nos hieren. Qué desafiante es acoger siempre al inmigrante y al extranjero. Qué doloroso es soportar la desilusión, el rechazo, la traición” (8/26/18). Mantra para esta semana: ¡Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna!

29 de agosto: Inscripción para las clases de otoño después de todas las misas dominicales. LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA: RECONOCE A DIOS EN TUS MOMENTOS ORDINARIOS

Sumisión como corresponsabilidad.

No nos sentimos cómodos con la idea de la sumisión. Nuestra sociedad defiende la igualdad, y con razón, pero es un error pensar que la sumisión está reñida con la igualdad. Para someternos plenamente, primero debemos ser libres. Primero debemos ser nuestros propios amos. Dios nos ha concedido esa libertad con la salvación que ofrece. Ya no somos esclavos del pecado. Ahora nos pide que nos subordinemos unos a otros, en el nombre de Cristo.

¡Qué tarea tan incómoda! Lo que nos pide es que estemos subordinados a la persona que más nos irrita. La persona que realmente no podemos soportar. La persona que no nos respeta ni aprecia lo que tenemos para ofrecer. La persona de la que creemos que somos más inteligentes, o más talentosos. La persona que envidiamos.

Ese es el verdadero desafío de la corresponsabilidad, ¿no es así? Subordinación. Incomodándome a mí mismo dando tiempo, dinero, relaciones. Poniendo las necesidades o deseos de otro por encima de los míos cuando no han hecho nada especial para ganárselo.

Los invito a considerar la cruz, la expresión más radical de sumisión y corresponsabilidad que jamás haya existido. Si alguna vez hubo alguien que merecía la superioridad, ¿no es el Dios que se dejó clavar en un madero, que dio tan libremente de Su vida, Su cuerpo, Su sangre, Su todo?

Mirarlo en su agonía es comprender verdaderamente la belleza de la sumisión, de entregar lo que tienes por el bien del otro.
