Cornelius and Cyprian Wednesday: St. Robert Bellarmine Friday: St. Januarius Saturday: Ss. Andrew Kim Tae-gŏn, Paul Chŏng Ha-sang, and Companions On this date in 335 two churches and a shrine erected by Constantine over the empty grave of Jesus and over the place of the crucifixion were dedicated. After these were destroyed by the Persians in 614, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which still stands, was erected by the Crusaders in Today also commemorates the event that led to the building of the churched dedicated in 335: the discovery of the true cross by St. Helena, Constantine s mother, in 326. According to one legend, St. Helena traveled to Jerusalem on pilgrimage, in search of the true cross. Workers she hired dug through a pagan temple that had been erected on the site of the Crucifixion by Hadrian and found three crosses. A dying woman was brought in, and touched by each cross in succession, the last of which healed her. Helena ordered that this cross be divided in three parts, one to be kept in Jerusalem and the other two to be sent to Constantinople and Rome. The pieces in Jerusalem and Constantinople were ultimately lost. Slivers were taken from the portion that went to Rome until eventually it was scattered around the world. Of course, the significance of the true cross lies not in the wood itself but in the burden that it bore. As a faithful Christian, what crosses do you accept in your life today?

9 La Exaltacion de la Santa Cruz 14 de Septiembre de 2014 Page 9 Lecturas SER LEVANTADOS En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús le recuerda a Nicodemo cómo Moisés había levantado la serpiente en el desierto. Entonces dice Jesús, así también es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado en alto, para que todo aquel que crea tenga por él vida eterna. El evangelista claramente da a entender que este ser levantado de Jesús se refiere a su crucifixión. La serpiente que Moisés levantó está descrita en la primera lectura de hoy. El pueblo fue atacado por serpientes de las llamadas ardientes, y muchos murieron. Dios dijo a Moisés que hiciera una imagen de la serpiente y la pusiera en un palo y la levantara. Si alguno era mordido, miraba a la serpiente y se recuperaba. Jesús se despojó de sí mismo, tomando la forma de un esclavo. Levantado en la cruz, fue escarnecido y parecía el más despreciable de todos. Pero fue abrazando esta deshonrosa y penosa muerte que llegó a ser el portador de la vida eterna para todos nosotros. Al ser levantado cubierto de vergüenza fue también levantado glorioso y triunfante. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Durante todo el mes de septiembre se celebra el mes de la herencia hispana. Esta fiesta responde a una presencia hispana que tiene su inicio con la llegada de los españoles a la Florida en 1513, hace 501 años. Los españoles estuvieron en 24 de los ahora 50 estados de Estados Unidos. Eventualmente, como bien sabemos, Florida, el Suroeste y Puerto Rico pasaron a manos de los estadounidenses. Desde nuestra incorporación a este país hemos ido creciendo en presencia e influencia. La primera obra literaria en español publicada en EE. UU., fue un sermón de don José Agustín Caballero en En 1808 inició la prensa hispana en EE. UU. con el periódico El Misisipi en Nueva Orleáns. Este fue el primero de los medios de comunicación en español en esta nación. En 1822 se eligió el primer político Hispano como representante estatal de Florida. En 1865 la primera oficina para la pastoral católica entre los hispanos nombró al sacerdote Gabriel Serrano pastor hispanorium (pastor de los hispanos) en San Francisco, California. En 1970 el sacerdote Patricio Flores fue el primer hispano en ser consagrado como Obispo en y para Estados Unidos. En 1972 celebramos el Primer Encuentro Nacional de Católicos Hispanos donde nos auto nominamos un pueblo en marcha. Y seguimos caminando. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
