THE ALL SOULS DAY LEGACY:
FAITH MEETING CULTURE
Dia de los Muertos: “Down Mexico Way”
People sometimes question the value of the meeting of cultures or interreligious dialogue.
“We’re Catholic … why should we bother with other peoples’ customs and beliefs?”
If Catholics knew more about their own history, the answer would be obvious. Had Jesus never
commissioned the apostles to go out to the ends of the earth to proclaim the Good News to all nations, we could
have defined ourselves as “Messianic Jews.” More than likely, if the Gospel had never have reached our ancestors, and we would be Druids, Sun worshippers, practitioners of voodoo or perhaps Muslims!
The universal Mission of the Church is not an issue for most of us, but how the Church responds to cultures and
non-Christian beliefs is. While many Catholics are surprised by the Church’s interest in inculturation and interreligious dialogue, in reality, there is nothing revolutionary in the attitude expressed by the Council Fathers in Nostra
Aetate and subsequent documents. Nostra Aetate (1965) is the “charter” of new openness to other religious traditions. Its positive view of the religions of the world ought to be in the forefront of all our dealings with nonChristians.
The Catholic Church rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions. She has a high regard for the
manner of life and conduct, the precepts and doctrines which though differing in many ways from our own
teaching, nevertheless often reflect a ray of that truth which enlightens all men…Let Christians, while witnessing
to their own faith and way of life, acknowledge, preserve and encourage the spiritual and moral truths found
among non-Christians and their social life and culture.
The “new openness” is as noteworthy as the Church’s long history of accepting non-Christian practices and reinterpreting them in the light of Faith. A special discernment of the Holy Spirit underlies “rejecting nothing of what
is true and holy” from other traditions. Over the centuries, Catholic Christianity has wisely adopted or adapted
much that was “true and holy” from pre-Christian cultures. Celebrating Christ’s birth on December 25th, (the Winter Solstice) and honoring the dead on November 1st and 2nd (Celtic Samhain) are clear examples of this “older
openness.”
Our cherished All Saints’ and All Souls’ traditions are worth exploring. Some cultures show dramatic links to
pre-Christian religious experience.
While the Church’s All Saints’ and All Souls’ practice evolved gradually from the third through the tenth centuries, observing this time of year to honor or placate the dead is far more ancient. In Latin-America and the Far
East, where ancestral “visitation” and homage, are the mainstay of popular religiosity, we see perhaps the clearest
expression of the “Days of the Dead” tradition. In the Christian context, Mexico reigns supreme in the way that
faith and culture have been harmonized. This week it provides our special focus.
Before he was missioned in Morocco, my friend, Fr. Jesus Aguirre-Garza sent me a special flyer he designed for a
parish in San Antonio with an explanation of the “Dia de los Muertos.” Fr. Jesus relates that pre-Hispanic Mexicans believed that the dead would go to three different realms. Warriors and women who died in childbirth would
go to “keep the Sun company.” Those who drowned would go to the “Paradise of Tlaco.” Those who died a normal death would travel a dangerous path to reach Mictlan. The Christian missionaries did their best to change the
perspective to heaven for the good, hell for the bad and Purgatory for those not ready for heaven.
The pagan and Christian Mexican traditions have harmonized unusually well on All Saints and All Souls Day.
Mexicans believe that on November 2nd, the dead are released to visit their loved ones. The living prepare for
their “homecoming spirits” by decorating graves and preparing an “altar” in their homes with favorite foods, drink
and symbolic objects of the deceased. There is a bitter-sweet quality - a mixture of sorrow and laughter - that
gives the “Dia de los Muertos” its special character and unique zest. MEXICANS HONOR THEIR DEAD, AND
MAKE FUN OF DEATH. Macabre, and often very funny, cakes and candy represent skeletons and skulls - the
more ridiculous and absurd they look the better! Death is taunted as a bully and a dunce, a sissy and a fool! It
seems weird to non-Mexicans, but reminds me of St. Paul’s challenge to the “grim reaper”: “O death, where is your
victory, where is your sting!”

In a Mexican home, the “Altar of the Dead” symbolically represents the witness of all nature as well as a
prayerful tribute to the dead. The design of the altar follows this familiar plan:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Earth - represented by its fruits
Wind - represented by something that moves - like crepe paper
Water - represented by a glass of water (to quench the thirst of the souls in Purgatory)
Fire - represented by a candle for each person remembered
Other Symbols
Salt - because it purifies
Incense (Copal) - to guide the souls with prayerfulness
Flowers of Cempazuchitl (marigolds) - sprinkled from the door to the altar to guide the way for
children
The fascinating aspect of the Mexican “altar” and the popular attitude for All Souls’ Day is that it is a very potent sign of faith’s expression through ancient, pre-Christian forms.
Is it superstitious? That depends on how sensitively the Church can evangelize and respond to a deep
“religious experience” present within an ancient culture. Yes the “Dia de los Muertos” can be superstitious, but it can also be a magnificent example of “rejecting nothing that is true and holy.”
-Fr. Luczak

Those whose funeral Masses were held here at St. Isaac Jogues since last All Souls Day will already be inscribed in the book. We will remember all those in the Book of Life during the Prayer of the Faithful throughout the month of November. We will also pray for those who grieve the passing of their loved one from this
life and embrace them with the hope of eternal life which we have because of our belief in Jesus Christ’s
death and resurrection.

NEW TRANSLATION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL
The new translation of the Roman Missal will be used
beginning the First Sunday of Advent at the end of November. Having looked at the three forms of the Penitential Act last week, we move to the Gloria, the song
of the angels on that Christmas night, which is a good
example of the translation from Latin to English according to the principle of formal equivalence. This
means that “the original text insofar as possible, must
be translated integrally and in the most exact manner,
without omissions or additions in terms of their content…” (Liturgiam authenticam, #20) As we will see
here and in the Creed, a more formal, literal translation
helps convey dignity, beauty, and doctrinal precision.
The words used help us express what we really mean.
Using this principle of formal equivalence the arrangement and relationship of words, the rhythmic flow and
the powerful imagery are more evident and powerful
than ordinary speech or prose. Take for example “We
praise you, we bless you, we adore you…” The words
build, as it were, to a crescendo, and yet we can never
praise God too much!
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to
people of good will. We praise you, we bless you,
we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks
for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O
God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy
on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive
our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the
Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy
One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the most
High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of
God the Father. Amen.

PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY
Priesthood Sunday is a special day set aside to
honor priesthood in the United Sates. It is a day to
reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in
the life of the Church as a central one. This nationwide event is coordinated and sponsored by the USA
Council of Serra International and is supported by
the Knights of Columbus.
Next weekend is Priesthood Sunday and Knights will
be at each Mass to affirm their commitment to the
priesthood and to religious vocations. It is a day for
us as a parish community to do the same, as well as
to look together with the priests at the challenges of
the future and how we can collaborate to meet those
challenges as a united force.

BULLETIN SICK LIST
The sick and hospitalized are to be held in thought and prayer. For their family, friends, and faith
community it is often times the best, and sometimes even only, way we can help and support them.
Yet we must remember that by law we cannot publicly let our parish community know the health
status of any of our members without their permission. What that means is that we cannot put people’s names in the bulletin sick list for prayer without permission.
As a reminder our policy is as follows: Names for the sick list in the bulletin have to be called in by
the person who is ill or by a member of their family. At the time they call in the name they will be
asked whether they are the sick person him/herself, or a member of their family and if they give permission for the name to be placed on the list. They will be asked for the correct spelling of the sick
person’s name. If a family member, they will be required to give their name for our records. The
name will be in the bulletin for one month.
Then the person’s name will be inscribed in the Book of Community Prayer. All people and prayer
requests are remembered during the petitions at all the weekend Masses. Their names will also be
given to our Ministers of Praise to pray for them daily.
