Theology Corner Vol. 62 – September 30th, 2018
Theological Reflections by Paul Chutikorn - Director of Faith Formation
“Why Do Catholics Care about Symbols and Signs so Much?”
Almost a year ago, I had written a Theology Corner about why Christ often spoke in parables, and this discussion led to an understanding of the Sacraments as efficacious “signs.” As I mentioned then, Christ’s parables (or illustrations) and the sacraments themselves, are ways of communicating truths that are more fully understood when they appeal to our human nature. In other words, if we do not have some point of reference by which we can understand something through our senses, we will not have a complete knowledge of it. I again talk about this now because I want to show how the Catholic faith places such a high value on symbols and signs in the Catholic liturgy in order that we as human beings can come to a fuller knowledge of the supernatural realities at hand through our human mode of understanding. Recall that there is a duality in our nature in that we are composed of body and spirit (matter and spiritual form). For this reason, we have the capacity (intellect) to understand spiritual realities, but we must come into contact with this knowledge first through physical things. Thus, the Church recognizes this need for signs, symbols, gestures, language, and actions in order that we can intimately come into contact with these supernatural realities, and better understand the presence of such a reality in our midst.
Most of these signs and symbols are witnessed directly in the Mass itself. First, we walk into a church and the typical Catholic church will have beautiful stained-glass windows, and lots of sacred art surrounding the inside of the building. This is meant to immediately communicate to us the beauty and sacredness of being in the presence of God. There is meant to be a clear distinction between life out in the world and the experience of the liturgy. I do not at all mean to say that life out in the world should not be reflective of our life in Christ, but rather, that when we step into the Mass, we should immediately turn our attention to what is really happening. In order for this to occur, we have to be shaken up a little bit to bring ourselves into a state in which we are fully aware of the real presence of Christ himself in the Eucharist.
Each part of the Mass has symbolic meaning or points us toward a full experience of some specific value. For example, we draw a cross on our heads, lips, and hearts as a physical gesture to show that we want the Gospel message of Christ to be on our mind, our lips, and our heart. We genuflect to both give proper respect to our Lord, but also to bring ourselves through this posture, into the realization that we are not God and make an action of humility before Him. For a similar reason, we kneel at various points during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The priest holds the Book of the Gospels up during the Alleluia to show its eminence, the servers hold candles on both sides of the ambo during the proclamation of the Gospel in order to show us that the words of Christ are a light to the world which leads us out of darkness. Even the priest washes his hands in reminding himself of his need to be cleansed of his sins. There are so many aspects of the Mass that involves ritual as a way for us all to take sensible realities and make known a more hidden reality. If we got rid of these symbols and signs altogether, we would essentially be devoid of any real human sense of the supernatural life, as well as any real sense of importance in the participation of the people in the work of God.

Teología Esquina Vol. 62 – 30 de Septiembre, 2018
Reflexiones Teológicas de Paul Chutikorn - Director de la Formación de Fe
“¿Por qué a los Católicos les Importan Tanto los Símbolos y Signos?”
Hace casi un año, escribí un rincón de teología sobre por qué Cristo a menudo hablaba en parábolas, y esta discusión condujo a la comprensión de los sacramentos como "signos" eficaces. Como mencioné entonces, las parábolas (o ilustraciones) de Cristo y los propios sacramentos, son formas de comunicar verdades que se comprenden más plenamente cuando apelan a nuestra naturaleza humana. En otras palabras, si no tenemos un punto de referencia por el cual podamos entender algo a través de nuestros sentidos, no tendremos un conocimiento completo de ello. Vuelvo a hablar de esto ahora porque quiero mostrar cómo la fe católica le da tanto valor a los símbolos y signos de la liturgia católica para que nosotros, como seres humanos, podamos llegar a un conocimiento más completo de las realidades sobrenaturales que tenemos a nuestro alcance. modo de entender. Recuerda que hay una dualidad en nuestra naturaleza en que estamos compuestos de cuerpo y espíritu (materia y forma espiritual). Por esta razón, tenemos la capacidad (intelecto) de comprender las realidades espirituales, pero debemos entrar en contacto con este conocimiento primero a través de las cosas físicas. Por lo tanto, la Iglesia reconoce esta necesidad de signos, símbolos, gestos, lenguaje y acciones para que podamos entrar en contacto íntimo con estas realidades sobrenaturales, y comprender mejor la presencia de tal realidad en medio de nosotros.
La mayoría de estos signos y símbolos se atestiguan directamente en la misa misma. Primero, entramos a una iglesia y la típica iglesia católica tendrá hermosas vidrieras de colores y gran cantidad de arte sacro rodeando el interior del edificio. Esto está destinado a comunicarnos inmediatamente la belleza y la santidad de estar en la presencia de Dios. Se supone que hay una clara distinción entre la vida en el mundo y la experiencia de la liturgia. No pretendo en absoluto decir que la vida en el mundo no debe reflejar nuestra vida en Cristo, sino que, cuando ingresemos a la Misa, debemos dirigir nuestra atención inmediatamente a lo que realmente está sucediendo. Para que esto ocurra, debemos sacudirnos un poco para ponernos en un estado en el que estamos plenamente conscientes de la presencia real de Cristo mismo en la Eucaristía.
Cada parte de la Misa tiene un significado simbólico o nos señala hacia una experiencia completa de algún valor específico. Por ejemplo, dibujamos una cruz en nuestras cabezas, labios y corazones como un gesto físico para mostrar que queremos que el mensaje del Evangelio de Cristo esté en nuestra mente, en nuestros labios y en nuestro corazón. Hacemos una genuflexión para dar tanto respeto a nuestro Señor, pero también para llevarnos a nosotros mismos a través de esta postura, en la comprensión de que no somos Dios y hacer una acción de humildad ante Él. Por una razón similar, nos arrodillamos en varios puntos durante la Liturgia de la Eucaristía. El sacerdote sostiene el Libro de los Evangelios durante el Aleluya para mostrar su eminencia, los servidores sostienen velas a ambos lados del ambón durante la proclamación del Evangelio para mostrarnos que las palabras de Cristo son una luz para el mundo que nos saca de la oscuridad Incluso el sacerdote se lava las manos recordándose a sí mismo su necesidad de ser limpiado de sus pecados. Hay tantos aspectos de la Misa que involucran el ritual como una forma para que todos tomemos realidades sensibles y demos a conocer una realidad más oculta. Si nos deshacemos completamente de estos símbolos y signos, estaríamos esencialmente desprovistos de un verdadero sentido humano de la vida sobrenatural, así como de cualquier sentido real de importancia en la participación de las personas en la obra de Dios.
