When a single woman pledged her life to Christ, in a way of life not dissimilar to today’s religious women, the outward sign of this commitment was a veiling. In ancient Rome, a woman with uncovered head was unmarried, and a veiled woman was “off limits to suitors.” It was one small step to decide that a bride should receive a veil from the hands of the church as a sign of her new state in life. The prayer that accompanied the veiling was beautiful, and sung, a kind of consecratory prayer that was very similar to the prayer of ordination, or the prayers for blessing holy water or chrism. The “nuptial blessing” originally mentioned only the woman, although we know that the veil was often extended to cover the husband’s shoulders also. The blessing was located before the kiss of peace, which the priest gave to the husband, and the husband to his new bride. Remember that this is in the early centuries, long before the kiss of peace virtually disappeared from liturgy. The veiling and blessing was required when priests or deacons married, was recommended to laypersons, but forbidden for certain public sinners and second marriages. The veiling of the couple was preserved in England until the Reformation, and is returning to practice among Swedish Lutherans after having fallen into disuse about seventy-five years ago.

Salmo — Que te alaben, Señor, todos los pueblos. Aleluya (Salmo 67 [66]). Segunda lectura — Juan tiene una visión de la ciudad santa, la nueva Jerusalén (Apocalipsis 21:10-14, 22-23) o Apocalipsis 22:12-14, 16-17, 20. Evangelio —El Espíritu Santo, enviado por el Padre en nombre de Jesús, nos enseñará todo (Juan 14:23-29) o Juan 17:20-26. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Hch 16:11-15; Sal 149:1b-6a, 9b; Jn 15:26 — 16:4a Martes: 1 Cor 15:1-8; Sal 19 (18):2-5; Jn 14:6-14 Miércoles: Hch 17:15, 22 — 18:1; Sal 148:1-2, 11-14; Jn 16:12-15 Jueves: Hch 1:1-11; Sal 47 (46):2-3, 6-9; Ef 1:17- 23 o Heb 9:24-28; 10:19-23; Lc 24:46-53 (para la Ascensión); o Hch 18:1-8; Sal 98 (97):1-4; Jn 16:16-20 Viernes: Hch 18:9-18; Sal 47 (46):2-7; Jn 16:20-23 Sábado: Hch 18:23-28; Sal 47 (46):2-3, 8-10; Jn 16:23b-28 Domingo: Hch 7:55-60; Sal 97 (96):1-2, 6-7, 9; Ap 22:12-14, 16-17, 20; Jn 17:20-26 o (para la Ascensión) Hch 1:1-11; Sal 47 (46):2-3, 6-9; Ef 1:17- 23 o Heb 9:24-28; 10:19-23; Lc 24:46-53 EL DON DE PAZ Se nos ofrece una visión distinta en la segunda lectura de hoy, una visión de la Nueva Jerusalén, “que descendía del cielo, resplandeciente con la gloria de Dios” (Apocalipsis 21:10). Si buscamos el significado detrás de la descripción de la radiante ciudad, vemos que la belleza mayor que se revela es la belleza de una perfecta armonía y orden, una ciudad fundada en la fe de las doce tribus de Israel y los doce Apóstoles, alumbrada únicamente por la gloria de Dios. La primera lectura y el Evangelio también van conectados a esta descripción idealizada de la Nueva Jerusalén. En ambos leemos como la angustia y los altercados se contrarrestan con el don de la paz. “Mi paz les doy”, les asegura Jesús a sus discípulos en la Última Cena (Juan 14:27). De acuerdo con ese don, los apóstoles y presbíteros, en la lectura de los Hechos, deciden no alterar la paz de los nuevos creyentes gentiles. No han de imponerles la excesiva carga de la circuncisión Page 6 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Tristemente una vez que muchos latinoamericanos llegan a los Estados Unidos es difícil regresar a sus tierras de origen, ni siquiera para visitar. Por esta razón, muchos pueblos latinoamericanos han construido santuarios a sus vírgenes y santos patrones en tierra estadounidense. De esta manera buscan estar cerca al suelo que les trajo a luz, que les nutrió con frutas, verduras, flores, cantos, costumbres y tradiciones. En Miami el pueblo cubano ha construido una ermita dedicada a la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, cuya capilla del Santísimo fue bendecida en la fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor. Debajo de su altar principal se guarda una piedra hecha con tierra de las distintas provincias de Cuba. Es bello el hecho, porque de esta manera todo cubano que se acerca al altar del Señor puede estar cerca de su terruño aunque sea solo por un momento. Que hay en la tierra que nos llama tanto a nosotros los latinos. Será que el libro del Génesis tiene razón, Dios forma toda persona del polvo y el corazón latino anhela la tierra de la que fue sacado.
