Over the last several weeks, the history of confirma-tion has been set out as a rite following baptism and preceding First Communion. Eucharist was a sacra-ment of spiritual maturity, attuned to the legal age of majority, which was considered to be fourteen years or so. Medieval bishops were often generous, if not especially pious, in seeing to it that children were confirmed before adulthood. A pattern more familiar to us surfaced in the Diocese of Toulon in France in 1748, where it was decreed that “children are to be confirmed only after receiving First Communion.” This was an amazing shift in practice that undermined centu-ries of theology and tradition by which confirmation was seen as a bridge be-tween font and table. The innovation swept through France and across Europe, despite constant com-plaints from Rome. French-trained bishops like Cheverus of Boston and Carroll of Baltimore, founders of the American church, established the practice here. The order of the sacraments was thus disrupted in France and in the United States, and remained an eccentric exception to the rule until big developments in 1910. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Hoy celebramos la memoria del santo patrono de los cocineros, san Lorenzo. Este español del siglo tercero fue uno de siete diáconos del Papa Sixto II, en Roma. Su ministerio consistía en repartir limosnas a los pobres. En el año 257 se pronunció una nueva persecución a los cristianos en Roma y el día 6 de agosto unos soldados romanos asesinaron al Papa y a cuatro de sus
diáconos. Lorenzo, cuyo nombre significa laureado o premiado, fue arrestado tras la batalla y llevado ante el alcalde de Roma. Este mandó traer todas las riquezas de la Iglesia, pero Lorenzo ya hacía tiempo que las había vendido para dar el dinero a los más necesitados. No obstante, se marchó de la presencia del alcalde para luego llegar con él, acompañado de gente pobre y enfer-
ma, insistiendo que ellos eran las verdaderas riquezas de la Iglesia. El alcalde, furioso, lo mandó quemar so-bre brazas para que muriera lentamente. Según testigos de su martirio, Lorenzo, a cierto punto dijo a sus asesinos: “Ya estoy asado de este la-do, voltéenme para asarme por completo”. Even-tualmente dijo: “La carne esta lista, ya pueden comer” y falleció orando por la conversión de Roma. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRESENCE It is difficult to be truly present to another. We speak of putting in an appearance or showing up. Even when we arrive, we are often distracted. We think ahead, or we review an unset-tled past. Nonetheless, we are at our best when we truly show up. We are most fully ourselves when we are ab-sorbed in something worthy of us: crea-tive work, good conversation, prayer. In these instances we are wholly ourselves and wholly outside ourselves. Elijah knew this kind of engage-ment. He was one of God’s great prophets. In to-day’s first reading, he follows God’s command to journey to that most holy place, Mount Horeb. And there in great silence, Elijah encounters God. As for Peter and the apostles, they discover the presence of God after the storm at sea. They and the sea and the winds are stunned into silent reverence. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PRESENCIA Es difícil estar realmente presente ante otros. Hablamos de aparecernos o dar signo de presencia. Aun cuando estamos allí, estamos distraídos. pen-
samos en lo que viene, o revisitamos un pasado no resuelto. Sin embargo, somos lo mejor que podemos ser cuando estamos realmente presentes. Somos nuestro más completo ser cuando estamos absorbidos en algo digno de nosotros: trabajo crea-tivo, buena conversación, oración. En es-tas ocasiones somos totalmente nosotros mismos y totalmente fuera de nosotros. Elías conocía ese tipo de partici-
pación. Él era uno de los grandes profetas de Dios. En la primera lectura, él sigue el mandamiento de Dios de ir a un sitio sagrado, el Monte Horeb. Y allí en gran silencio, el humilde Elías encontró a Dios. Y Pedro y los Apóstoles descubrieron la presencia de Dios después de la tormenta en el mar. Ellos, el mar y el viento se quedaron mudos en si-lencio reverente. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
