The Most Holy Body and Corpus Christi

St. Joseph , 7240 W. 57th St., Summit, Illinois

“This whole mystery is preserved in the Most Holy Eucharist and the Sacrifice of the .”

Informes del Padre Bob

Este domingo celebramos el Corpus Christi, la solemnidad del cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo. Como católicos, creemos que la Eucaristía es verdaderamente el Cuerpo, la Sangre, el Alma y la Divinidad de Cristo. Todo este misterio se conserva en la Santísima Eucaristía y en el Sacrificio de la Misa. Cuando el sacerdote habla las palabras de la Consagración en la Misa, el pan y el vino se transforman en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús. No recibimos pan y vino; Recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. A esto le llamamos transubstanciación "cambio de sustancia", un término usado en el Cuarto Concilio de Letrán (1215). La transubstanciación es el cambio completo de la sustancia del pan y el vino en la sustancia del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo por un sacerdote válidamente ordenado durante la Consagración en la Misa, de modo que solo quedan los accidentes (atributos) del pan y el vino. Mientras celebramos Corpus Christi, comparto con ustedes una notable reflexión escrita por Msgr. Charles Pope sobre la Eucaristía. Mons. El Papa escribe: Las Escrituras dicen de un demonio que afligió a un hombre entre las tumbas, “y cuando vio a Jesús desde lejos, corrió y lo adoró (Marcos 5: 6). En el Evangelio de Lucas, los demonios también salieron de muchos y gritaron: “¡Tú eres el Hijo de Dios!”. Pero él los reprendió y no les permitió hablar, porque sabían que él era el Cristo ”(Lc 4:41 -42). De hecho, como muchos de los que han ayudado en los exorcismos pueden dar fe, hay un poder maravilloso en el agua bendita, en las reliquias, en la cruz del exorcista, en el toque de la estola de un sacerdote, y así sucesivamente para afligir a los demonios e instarlos a que se vayan. Sin embargo, muchos católicos y otros descartan estos sacramentales (así como los Sacramentos), usándolos descuidadamente, con poca frecuencia o en absoluto. Muchas personas, incluso fieles católicos, las consideran de poca importancia. Pero los demonios no lo hacen. Vergonzosamente, los demonios a veces manifiestan más fe (por miedo) en estas cosas que los verdaderos creyentes que deberían venerarlos por amorosa fe. Hace un par de años escribí sobre una experiencia inusual que tuve en la misa en la que una persona que estaba preocupada por un demonio hizo que esos demonios se manifestaran en la consagración, lo que provocó que la persona saliera de la Iglesia. Fue hace casi 15 años. Estuve en Old St. Mary's aquí en D.C. celebrando una misa en latín (forma extraordinaria). Fue una misa solemne. No creo que fuera diferente a la mayoría de los domingos, pero algo increíble estaba por suceder. Como sabrán, la antigua misa en latín se celebra "" (hacia el este litúrgico). El sacerdote y la gente se enfrentan en una sola dirección. Lo que esto significa prácticamente para el celebrante es que la gente está detrás de él. Ya era hora de la consagración. En este momento, se dirige al sacerdote a inclinarse con los antebrazos sobre la mesa del y al anfitrión entre sus dedos. Según lo indicado, las veneradas palabras de la Consagración se dijeron con voz baja pero distinta, Hoc est enim Corpus meum (Porque este es mi Cuerpo). Las campanas sonaron cuando genuflexioné. Pero detrás de mí había una perturbación de algún tipo; un estremecimiento o un susurro vino desde los bancos delanteros detrás de mí a mi derecha. Luego un gemido o quejas. "¿Qué fue eso?" Me pregunté. No sonaba realmente humano, más bien como el gruñido de un animal grande como un jabalí o un oso, junto con un gemido quejumbroso que tampoco parecía humano. Levanté al anfitrión y de nuevo me pregunté: "¿Qué fue eso?" Luego, el silencio. Como celebrante en la antigua misa latina, no podía darme la vuelta fácilmente para mirar, pero pensé: "¿Qué fue eso?" Era hora de la consagración del cáliz. Nuevamente me incliné, pronunciando claramente y con claridad, pero en voz baja, Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei, novi et æterni testamenti; mysterium fidei; Qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem pecatorum. Haec quotiescumque feceritis in mei memoriam facietis (porque esta es la copa de mi Sangre, del nuevo y eterno pacto; el misterio de la fe; que será derramada para la remisión de los pecados para los muchos. Siempre que haces esto, lo haces en mi memoria.) Entonces, escuché otro sonido, esta vez un gemido innegable y luego un grito cuando alguien gritó: “¡Déjame en paz, Jesús! ¿Por qué me torturas? ”De repente se escuchó un ruido de pelea y alguien salió corriendo con el gemido de haber sido herido. Las puertas traseras se abrieron y luego se cerraron. Luego el silencio. Realización: no podía darme la vuelta para buscar, estaba levantando el cáliz por encima de mi cabeza. Pero supe en un instante que alguna pobre alma atormentada por demonios había encontrado a Cristo en la Eucaristía y no podía soportar su presencia real mostrada para que todos la vieran. Y se me ocurrieron las palabras de la Escritura: Hasta los demonios creen y tiemblan (Santiago 2:19). Arrepentimiento: pero al igual que James usó esas palabras para reprender la débil fe de su rebaño, yo también tuve que arrepentirme. ¿Por qué un hombre con problemas de demonios estaba más consciente de la verdadera presencia y más asombrado por eso que yo? Se movió en un sentido negativo y corrió. ¿Por qué no me moví más de una manera positiva pero comparable? ¿Qué hay de los otros creyentes en los bancos? No dudo que todos nosotros creímos intelectualmente en la verdadera presencia. ¡Pero hay algo muy diferente y mucho más maravilloso en ser trasladado a la profundidad de tu alma! Es muy fácil para nosotros tener sueño en presencia de lo Divino, olvidarnos de la Presencia milagrosa y asombrosa que tenemos disponible. Que el registro muestre que en ese día, hace casi 15 años, me quedó muy claro que tenía en mis manos al Señor de la Gloria, el Rey del cielo y la tierra, el juez y gobernante justo de los reyes de la tierra. . ¿Está el Señor verdaderamente presente en la Eucaristía? Será mejor que lo creas; ¡Incluso los demonios creen eso!

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza

Dzisiaj przypada Uroczystość Najświętszego Ciała i Krwi Chrystusa, potocznie zwana Bożym Ciałem. Katolicy wierzą, iż Eucharystia zaprawdę jest Ciałem, Krwią, Duszą oraz Bóstwem Jezusa. Cała ta Tajemnica zawarta jest w Najświętszej Eucharystii i Ofierze Mszy Świętej. Kapłan wypowiada słowa konsekracji, a chleb i wino zamieniają się w Ciało i Krew Chrystusa. Nie przyjmujemy już chleba i wina, tylko Ciało i Krew Pańską. Owe zjawisko nazywamy „transsubstancjacją” - określenie używane od Soboru Laterańskiego IV w XIII wieku. Transsubstancjacja oznacza całkowitą, fizyczną i duchową przemianę natury chleba i wina w Ciało i Krew Chrystusa. Dokonuje się to przy udziale pełnoprawnie wyświęconego kapłana w taki sposób, że pozostają jedynie atrybuty chleba i wina. Na tegoroczne Boże Ciało, pragnę się z Wami podzielić niesamowitą refleksją Monsignore Charlesa Pope'a. Pismo Święte wspomina o demonie, który opętał mężczyznę w katakumbach. „Skoro z daleka ujrzał Jezusa przybiegł, oddał Mu pokłon” (Mk 5:6). Z kolei w Ewangelii św. Łukasza: „Także złe duchy wychodziły z wielu, wołając: «Ty jesteś Syn Boży!» Lecz On je gromił i nie pozwalał im mówić, ponieważ wiedziały, że On jest Mesjaszem” (Łk 4:41). Sakramentalia takie, jak woda święcona, relikwie, krzyż egzorcysty, czy stuła kapłana mają cudowne właściwości, pomagają wygnać demony z opętanych – potwierdzają to zgodnie wszyscy asystujący przy egzorcyzmach. A jednak zbyt wielu wiernych lekceważy znaczenie i moc sakramentaliów oraz samych sakramentów. Korzystają z nich rzadko albo wcale. Demony wszakże się ich boją. Wstyd przyznać, ale demony pod wpływem strachu okazują czasem więcej wiary, niż głęboko wierzący katolicy. 15 lat temu, w czasie Mszy Świętej, pewien człowiek był nękany demony i podczas konsekracji wybiegł w panice z kościoła. Celebrowałem Mszę w nadzwyczajnej formie rytu rzymskiego. Jak dla mnie była to liturgia niedzielna taka, jak zawsze, ale miało się wydarzyć coś niezwykłego. Mszę łacińską celebruje się „ad orientem” (w stronę liturgicznego Wschodu). Kapłan oraz wierny wszyscy patrzą w tę samą stronę. To oznacza, że wierni znajdują się za celebransem. Nadeszła chwila konsekracji – kapłan kłania się nisko, kładąc ramiona na przed ołtarzem, trzymając w ręce Hostię. Padły słowa konsekracji – ciche, lecz wyraźne: „Hoc est enim Corpus meum” („to jest bowiem Ciało Moje”). Przyklęknąłem i zabrzmiały dzwony. Za mną jednak była jakaś wrzawa. Z ławki na prawo od ołtarza dał się słyszeć jakiś szum. Potem rozległ się jęk lub pomruk. Nie był to ludzki jęk, bardziej przypominał ryk niedźwiedzia lub dzika, któremu dodatkowo towarzyszyło zawodzenie. Uniosłem Hostię, zastanawiając się, co to było. Nastała cisza. Jako że byłem celebransem Mszy, nie mogłem się odwrócić, aby zobaczyć, co się działo. Nadszedł czas poświęcić kielich. Znów skłoniłem się nisko i wypowiedziałem słowa, cicho, lecz wyraźnie: „Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei, novi et æterni testamenti; mysterium fidei; qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem pecatorum. Haec quotiescumque feceritis in mei memoriam facietis” („Oto kielich Krwi Mojej, nowego i wiecznego przymierza, która za wielu będzie wylana na odpuszczenie grzechów. To czyńcie na Moją pamiątkę”). Wówczas usłyszałem kolejny jęk oraz krzyk: „Zostaw mnie, Jezusie! Dlaczego mnie prześladujesz?” Potem odgłos kroków, jakby ktoś wybiegł z kościoła zraniony. Huk otwieranej i zamykanej bramy wejściowej, potem cisza. Wtedy zrozumiałem. Nie mogłem się odwrócić, gdyż trzymałem kielich nad głową. Zrozumiałem jednak, że jakaś nieszczęsna dusza, dręczona przez diabła, napotkała Jezus Prawdziwie Obecnego w Eucharystii i nie mogła tego znieść. Przypomniały mi się słowa z Listu św. Jakuba: „Wierzysz, że jest jeden Bóg? Słusznie czynisz - lecz także i złe duchy wierzą i drżą” (Jk 2:19). Pokuta. Zdałem sobie sprawę, że potrzebuję pokuty. Dlaczego mężczyzna nawiedzany przez demona był bardziej świadomy Rzeczywistej Obecności Chrystusa niż ja, wyświęcony kapłan? Owy nieszczęśnik był tym tak poruszony, że uciekł. Dlaczego ja nie czuję tego samego, tylko w bardziej pozytywnym sensie? Co z pozostałymi wiernymi? Wszyscy na pewno rozumowo wierzymy w to, czym jest Najświętsza Eucharystia. Jednakże doświadczenie czegoś takiego, co porusza tak mocno i do głębi, to zupełnie inny rodzaj i poziom wiary. Tak łatwo nam nie zwracać uwagi na obecność Boga. Tamtego dnia, 15 lat temu, stało się dla mnie jasne jak słońce, że naprawdę trzymam w dłoniach Naszego Pana: władcę Nieba i Ziemi, Króla Królów, Sprawiedliwego Sędziego. Lepiej uwierz w to, że Jezus jest Prawdziwie Obecny w Najświętszym Sakramencie – nawet demony w to wierzą! FR. BOB’SFr. BRIEFS Bob’s Briefs We are back where we started. Do you remember? Five weeks ago, we began reading through Jesus’ Bread of Life Discourse in the sixth chapter of the of John.

Live Jesus! It was time for the consecration of the chalice. Again I bowed low, pronouncing clearly and distinctly but in a low voice, Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei, novi et æterni testamenti; mysterium fidei; qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem pecatorum. Haec quotiescumque feceritis in mei memoriam facietis (for this is the cup of my Blood, of the new and eternal covenant; ; which will for the many be shed unto the remission of sins. Whenever you do this, you do it in my memory.) Then, I heard another sound, this time an undeniable moan and then a shriek as someone cried out, “Leave me alone, Jesus! Why do you torture me?” Suddenly there was a scuffling noise and someone ran out with the groaning sound of having been injured. The back doors swung open and then closed. Then silence. Realization – I could not turn to look for I was raising the Chalice high over my head. But I knew in an instant that some poor demon-tormented soul had encountered Christ in the Eucharist and could not endure His real presence displayed for all to see. And the words of Scripture occurred to me: Even Demons believe and tremble (James 2:19). Repentance – But just as James used those words to rebuke the weak faith of his flock, I too had to repent. Why was a demon-troubled man more aware of the true presence and more astonished by it than I was? He was moved in a negative sense and ran. Why was I not more moved in a positive but comparable way? What of the other believers in the pews? I don’t doubt that all of us believed intellectually in the true presence. But there is something very different and far more wonderful in being moved to the depth of your soul! It is so easy for us to be sleepy in the presence of the Divine, to be forgetful of the miraculous and awesome Presence available to us. Let the record show that on that day, almost 15 years ago, it was made quite plain to me that I held in my hands the Lord of Glory, the King of Heaven and earth, the just Judge and Ruler of the kings of the earth. Is the Lord truly present in the Eucharist? You’d better believe it; even demons believe that!
