IV Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano

Indulgences and How to Practice Them

So now that we have read about what the Catechism says about indulgences, let’s try to explain further so that we may have a better understanding of how to take advantage of this long tradition of the Church. First, let’s remind ourselves of what an indulgence is not. It is not a permission to commit sin, nor a pardon of future sin; neither could be granted by any power. It is not the forgiveness of the guilt of sin; it supposes that the sin has already been forgiven; since it is a requirement that one must actually go to confession in order to receive an indulgence in the first place. Furthermore, it is not an exemption from any law or duty, and much less from the obligation consequent on certain kinds of sin, e.g., restitution; on the contrary, it means a more complete payment of

the debt which the sinner owes to God. It does not confer immunity from temptation or remove the possibility of subsequent lapses into sin. Least of all is an indulgence the purchase of a pardon which secures the buyer's salvation or releases the soul of another from Purgatory.

An essential element in indulgences is the application to one person of the satisfaction performed by others. This transfer is based on three things: the Communion of Saints, the principle of vicarious satisfaction, and the Treasury of the Church.

The communion of saints "We being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another" (Romans 12:5). As each

organ shares in the life of the whole body, so does each of the faithful profit by the prayers and good works of all the rest—a benefit which accrues, in the first instance, to those who are in the state of grace, but also, though less fully, to the sinful members.

The principle of vicarious satisfaction Each good action of the just man possesses a double value: that of merit and that of satisfaction, or

expiation. Merit is personal, and therefore it cannot be transferred; but satisfaction can be applied to others, as St. Paul writes to the Colossians (1:24) of his own works: "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the Church."

The treasury of the Church Christ, as St. John declares in his First Epistle (2:2), "is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but

also for those of the whole world." Since the satisfaction of Christ is infinite, it constitutes an inexhaustible fund which is more than sufficient to cover the indebtedness contracted by sin, Besides, there are the satisfactory works of the Blessed Virgin Mary undiminished by any penalty due to sin, and the virtues, penances, and sufferings of the saints vastly exceeding any temporal punishment which these servants of God might have incurred. These are added to the treasury of the Church as a secondary deposit, not independent of, but rather acquired through, the merits of Christ. As St. Thomas Aquinas declares (Quodlib., II, q. vii, art. 16): "All the saints intended that whatever they did or suffered for God's sake should be profitable not only to themselves but to the whole Church." And he further points out (Contra Gent., III, 158) that what one endures for another being a work of love, is more acceptable as satisfaction in God's sight than what one suffers on one's own account, since this is a matter of necessity. "Upon the altar of the Cross", says Pope Clement the VI, "Christ shed of His blood not merely a drop, though this would have sufficed, by reason of the union with the Word, to redeem the whole human race, but a copious torrent. . . thereby laying up an infinite treasure for mankind. This treasure He neither wrapped up in a napkin nor hid in a field, but entrusted to Blessed Peter, the key-bearer, and his successors, that they might, for just and reasonable causes, distribute it to the faithful in full or in partial remission of the temporal punishment due to sin." According to Catholic doctrine, therefore, the source of indulgences is constituted by the merits of Christ and the saints. This treasury is left to the keeping, not of the individual Christian, but of the Church. Consequently, to make it available for the faithful, there is required an exercise of authority, which alone can determine in what way, on what terms, and to what extent, indulgences may be granted.

Keep looking for future installments of Liturgy Matters for more interesting tidbits about the doctrine of indulgences.

3 de Enero del 2016 † La Epifanía del Señor IX

`Nosotros, la comunidad Católica de la Misión Basílica San Juan Capistrano, un lugar de peregrinación y de paz,

estamos llamados a movernos “siempre adelante”. Bendecidos por nuestra diversidad y

fortalecidos por nuestra identidad sacramental como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo

nos regocijamos en vivir los valores del Evangelio de amor y justicia en nuestro servicio a los demás.

PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA

MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA: Seguimos en NAVIDAD y celebramos la fiesta de la EPIFANÍA (y de los Reyes), que es algo más que una noche cargada de sueños y de regalos. Es la fiesta de la LUZ que ha brillado en medio de las tinieblas del mundo, para que todos los hombres, de toda condición y raza, puedan encontrar al SALVADOR, nacido de María. Y todo esto porque… - es un Dios para TODOS, un Dios COMPARTIDO: Dios se ha hecho SERVIDOR, no de unos cuantos, sino de todos los que le buscan. ¡Éste sí que es un Dios al alcance de todos…! - y, por eso mismo, HOY es el día de los BUSCADORES de Dios, de aquellos que lo dejan todo (seguridades, tierras, familia…) para ir al ENCUENTRO de Dios mismo. Los Magos son precisamente el símbolo de todos los que buscan y que “han visto su estrella”. Y… ¡cómo no!, le ENCUENTRAN, aunque tenga una apariencia pobre, la de un indefenso niño. Bello e intenso mensaje el de este día. Podemos encontrarnos en ese grupo de los que se acercan a Belén. ¡Podría cambiar nuestra vida! ¡Feliz día para los BUSCADORES de Dios!

Que te llevemos el oro de nuestras ofrendas, el incienso de nuestra oración fervorosa, y la mirra de los sacrificios que hacemos para permanecer fieles a Ti, y que te encontremos siempre junto a tu Madre Santísima María, a quien queremos honrar y venerar siempre como Madre Tuya y Madre nuestra.

REGALOS PARA EL DIA DE REYES Para tu enemigo … perdón

Para tu oponente… tolerancia Para tu amigo… tu corazón Para tu cliente… servicio Para TODOS… caridad Para el niño/a… un buen ejemplo Para ti mismo… respeto • Podemos aprovechar esta fiesta de la Iglesia para reflexionar en las enseñanzas que nos da este pasaje evangélico:

Los magos representan a todos aquellos que buscan, sin cansarse, la luz de Dios, siguen sus señales y, cuando en-cuentran a Jesucristo, luz de los hombres, le ofrecen con alegría todo lo que tienen.

• La estrella anunció la venida de Jesús a todos los pueblos. Hoy en día, el Evangelio es lo que anuncia a todos los pueblos el mensaje de Jesús.

• Los Reyes Magos no eran judíos como José y María. Venían de otras tierras lejanas (de Oriente: Persia y Babilo-nia), siguiendo a la estrella que les llevaría a encontrar al Salvador del Mundo. Representan a todos los pueblos de la tierra que desde el paganismo han llegado al conocimiento del Evangelio.

• Los Reyes Magos dejaron su patria, casa, comodidades, familia, para adorar al Niño Dios. Perseveraron a pesar de las dificultades que se les presentaron. Era un camino largo, difícil, incómodo, cansado. El seguir a Dios implica sacrificio, pero cuando se trata de Dios cualquier esfuerzo y trabajo vale la pena.

• Los Reyes Magos tuvieron fe en Dios. Creyeron aunque no veían, aunque no entendían. Quizá ellos pensaban en-contrar a Dios en un palacio, lleno de riquezas y no fue así, sino que lo encontraron en un pesebre y así lo adora-ron y le entregaron sus regalos. Nos enseñan la importancia de estar siempre pendientes de los signos de Dios para reconocerlos.

• Los Reyes Magos fueron generosos al ir a ver a Jesús, no llegaron con las manos vacías. Le llevaron: • oro: que se les da a los reyes, ya que Jesús ha venido de parte de Dios, como rey del mundo, para traer la justicia

y la paz a todos los pueblos; incienso: que se le da a Dios, ya que Jesús es el hijo de Dios hecho hombre; • mirra: que se untaba a los hombres escogidos, ya que adoraron a Jesús como Hombre entre los hombres.Esto

nos ayuda a reflexionar en la clase de regalos que nosotros le ofrecemos a Dios y a reconocer que lo importante no es el regalo en sí, sino el saber darse a los demás. En la vida debemos buscar a Dios sin cansarnos y ofrecerle con alegría todo lo que tenemos.

• Los Reyes Magos sintieron una gran alegría al ver al niño Jesús. Supieron valorar el gran amor de Dios por el hombre.

• Debemos ser estrella que conduzca a los demás hacia Dios.

3 de Enero del 2016 † La Epifanía del Señor XIII

Origen de la Rosca de Reyes Después de que los Reyes adoraron a Jesús, un ángel les avisó que no regresaran donde Herodes y ellos regresaron por otro camino. Herodes al enterarse que había nacido el Rey que todos esperaban, tuvo miedo de perder su puesto y ordenó matar a todos los niños menores de dos años entre los cuales se encontraría dicho Rey. La Sagrada Familia huyó a Egipto y el niño Dios se salvó, otras familias escondieron a los bebés en tinajas de harina y así no fueron vistios y salvaron sus vidas. Desde entonces, los judíos comían pan ázimo el 6 de enero en el que escondían un muñeco de barro recordando este acontecimiento. Los primeros cristianos tomaron un poco de esta tradición y la mezclaron con la historia de la visita de los Reyes Magos para la celebración de la Epifanía: cambiaron el pan ázimo por pan de harina blanca y levadura, cocida en forma de Rosca, endulzándolo con miel y adornándolo con frutos del desierto, como higos, dátiles y algunas nueces. Para los cristianos, la forma circular de la rosca simboliza el amor eterno de Dios, que no tiene principio ni fin. Los confites son las distracciones del mundo que nos impiden encontrar a Jesús. El muñequito escondido dentro de la rosca, simboliza al Niño Jesús que los reyes no encontraban porque la estrella desaparecía. Esta costumbre de los cristianos de Palestina llegó a Europa y posteriormente a América. En México, el que encuentra el muñequito de la rosca se convierte en el centro de la fiesta: se le pone una corona hecha de cartón y cubierta de papel dorado y se le da el nombramiento de “padrino del Niño Jesús”. El padrino deberá vestir con ropas nuevas a la imagen del niño Jesús del nacimiento y presentarlo en la Iglesia el día 2 de Febrero, día de la Candelaria. Después hará una fiesta con tamales y atole.
