Estos pequeños retablos o laminitas contienen imágenes de Cristo, la Santísima Trinidad, María, los ángeles u otro santo/a pintados sobre lámina, madera u otro material para decorar los altares familiares de los hogares hispanos. Aunque los retablos no siempre siguen las normas del arte cristiano, los retablos latinoamericanos son bellos ejemplos de la mezcla de culturas amerindias, europeas y africanas. Pero no todos los retablos son pequeños. En muchas iglesias coloniales de Latinoamérica se encuentran retablos gigantescos hechos de mármol o madera, cubiertos de oro y joyas que recuerdan los grandes retablos europeos, pero con el color y folclor latinoamericano. Originalmente, los retablos europeos eran pequeños y móviles, de tal manera que se podían colocar sobre un altar para la celebración de la Misa. Cuando la Iglesia fue construyendo sus propios templos, los retablos empezaron a formar parte de la decoración de los santuarios y tomaron dimensiones impresionantes. Los retablos pequeños pasaron a los hogares de los fieles, quienes quieren tener a Cristo y sus santos como parte de su diario vivir. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Ministerio de Justicia Social Cómo nos informa nuestra fe católica las formas en que actuamos en el mundo? Qué significa para nosotros la justicia social como católicos? Si esas preguntas resuenan, permanezcan atentos para nuestra próxima reunión inaugural del Ministerio de Justicia Social en Enero. Envía un correo electrónico a Mary con preguntas y comentarios, ideas a maryewalle@sfdsnyc.org. Retiro Español Estamos felices de anunciar que estamos en las etapas de planificación de un Retiro Cuaresmal para nuestra comunidad de habla hispana. Por favor, permanezca atento para la fecha y la hora. UN ALTAR En todo lugar, dondequiera que te encuentres, puedes erigir un altar a Dios en tu mente por medio de la oración. --Relatos de un peregrino ruso
