TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
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 1149. Today also
commemorates the event that led to the building of
the churches 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?

BEING LIFTED UP
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds Nicodemus how
Moses had “lifted up the serpent in the desert.” Then
Jesus says, “So must the Son of Man be lifted up, that
all who believe may have eternal life in him.” The
evangelist clearly saw this “lifting up” of Jesus to
mean his crucifixion. That “lifting up” of the serpent
by Moses is described in today’s first reading. The
people were attacked by “saraph serpents,” and many
died. God had Moses make an image of the serpent
and put it on a pole and lift it up. The people who
had been bitten looked at it and recovered. Jesus
“emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.” Lifted
up on the cross, he was despised and seemed the
most abject of people. But it was in embracing this
disgrace and painful death that he became the bearer
of eternal life for all of us. His “lifting up” in shame
was also his “lifting up” in glory and triumph.

Sakrament namaszczenia chorych (cz. I)
W Ewangelii czytamy: „I obchodził Jezus całą
Galileę, nauczając w tamtejszych synagogach,
głosząc Ewangelię o królestwie i lecząc wszelkie
choroby i wszelkie słabości wśród ludu” (Mt 4,23).
Chrystus powiedział do Apostołów: „Idźcie i głoście:
Bliskie już jest królestwo niebieskie. Uzdrawiajcie
chorych” (Mt 10,7n). Uczniowie spełniali to
polecenie: „Oni więc wyszli i wzywali do
nawrócenia. Wyrzucali też wiele złych duchów oraz
wielu chorych namaszczali olejem i uzdrawiali” (Mk
6,12n). Św. Jakub wspomina o udzielaniu chorym
namaszczenia olejem, które ma znaczenie
zbawcze: „Choruje ktoś wśród was? Niech
sprowadzi kapłanów Kościoła, by się modlili nad
nim i namaścili go olejem w imię Pana. A modlitwa
pełna wiary będzie dla chorego ratunkiem i Pan go
podźwignie, a jeśliby popełnił grzechy, będą mu
odpuszczone” (Jk 5,14n).
Sakrament wspomniany przez św. Jakuba
przechodził w ciągu wieków wiele przemian. Z
pierwszych wieków nie mamy relacji o jego liturgii.
Pierwszy dokładny opis sprawowania tego
sakramentu pochodzi z czasów karolińskich (IX w.).
Jest to liturgia bardzo bogata i długa. Od czasów
Piotra Lombarda (XI w.) zaczęto nazywać ten
sakrament ostatnim namaszczeniem. Uważano go
za sakrament umierających. Chorzy stronili od
niego, a kapłani rzadko go udzielali, np. w XVI
wieku w niektórych okolicach nigdy nie udzielano
sakramentu chorych.
