TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Epiphany celebrates the wake‑up calls of life, the showings of God’s majesty and power in the person of Jesus. The feast alerts us to look for signs of the Lord’s grace and action
in our lives today. In this context, the call of the Second Vatican Council to reform the sacramental life of the Church, including our pattern of care for the sick, is indeed a holy
awakening.
Prior to the 1960s, our care for the sick had collapsed in the popular imagination into
something everyone called “last rites.” An immensely complicated ritual, with anointing
accompanied by quickly muttered Latin prayers, was enacted for a marginally conscious
person at “death’s door.” By the time a priest was called, the sick person might not be able
to receive viaticum, or derive much personal benefit from the ritual. The healing effects of
the sacrament, investing suffering with the dignity of a link to Christ’s cross, and the immense assurance of forgiveness for a person reviewing the life journey, were hidden. Suddenly, an epiphany swept through the Church, and the way we care for the sick was utterly
transformed. It took several centuries, however, for the Church to reach that moment of
renewal.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El Evangelio de san Juan comienza con una extraña revelación. Nos declara que al principio, Jesús no sólo estaba con Dios, sino que Jesús es Dios (Juan 1:1). Dependiendo de nuestra traducción de
las Sagradas Escrituras, Jesús es nombrado ya sea “Palabra” o “Verbo” en el primer pasaje de Juan.
Según una canción de Ricardo Arjona “Jesús es verbo, no sustantivo”. Y tiene razón. Hay que recordar que Juan no escribió en español, ni siquiera en inglés. El evangelista escribió en griego y aplicó
el concepto filosófico del logos a Jesús. El logos, de la filosofía griega se manifiesta en Jesús de Nazaret. Para los griegos esta noticia era asombrosa, porque logos quiere decir palabra activa, es decir, el
verbo que actúa y por el cual todo es creado. Juan declara que Jesús es este Verbo, él es el Dios que
lo hizo todo y en el cual todos tenemos vida si actuamos como él.
El Evangelio de Juan nos desafía a vivir el verbo que es Cristo, no sólo diciendo que somos cristianos, sino actuando como Jesús, cual Verbo Divino.
