Trigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 31 de Octubre del 2021 LECTURAS Hermanos y hermanas, 1ra Lect: Dt 6, 2-6 Durante el mes de noviembre estaré escribiendo sobre Salmo: 17, 2-51 lo que significa y como se celebra un funeral cristiano católico. 2nd Lect: Heb 7, 23-28 Durante cada semana ahondaremos en este misterio de la muerte. Evang: Mc 12, 28-34 La Iglesia Católica, ya desde la época de los primeros cristianos, siempre ha rodeado a los muertos de una atmósfera de respeto sagrado. LAS CATACUMBAS Este respeto y honor fúnebre que siempre les ha dado permiten hablar de En la primera mitad del siglo segundo un cierto culto a los difuntos: culto no en el sentido teológico estricto, DC, después de tener algunas concesiones y sino entendido como un amplio honor y respeto sagrados hacia los donaciones, los cristianos empezaron a difuntos por parte de quienes tienen fe en la resurrección de la carne y en enterrar a sus muertos bajo tierra. Y así la vida futura. El cristianismo en sus primeros siglos no rechazó el culto comenzaron las catacumbas. Muchas de de los difuntos de las antiguas civilizaciones, sino que lo consolidó, lo ellas se excavaron y se ampliaron alrededor purificó, dándole su verdadero sentido trascendente, a la luz del de los sepulcros de familias cuyos conocimiento de la inmortalidad del alma y del dogma de la resurrección; propietarios, recién convertidos, no los puesto que el cuerpo —que durante la vida es “templo del Espíritu Santo” reservaron sólo para los suyos, sino que los y “miembro de Cristo” (1 Cor 6,15-9) y cuyo destino definitivo es la abrieron a sus hermanos en la fe. Andando transformación espiritual en la resurrección— siempre ha sido, a los ojos el tiempo, las áreas funerarias se de los cristianos, tan digno de respeto y veneración como las cosas más ensancharon, a veces por iniciativa de la santas. misma Iglesia. Es típico el caso de las Este respeto se ha manifestado, en primer lugar, en el modo mismo de catacumbas de San Calixto en Roma: la enterrar los cadáveres. Vemos, en efecto, que a imitación de lo que Iglesia asumió directamente su hicieron con el Jesus; José de Arimatea, Nicodemo y las piadosas mujeres, administración y organización, con carácter los cadáveres eran con frecuencia lavados, ungidos, envueltos en vendas comunitario. impregnadas en aromas, y así colocados cuidadosamente en el sepulcro. Con el edicto de Milán, promulgado por En las actas del martirio de San Pancracio se dice que el santo mártir el emperador Constantino en febrero del fue enterrado “después de ser ungido con perfumes y envuelto en año 313, los cristianos dejaron de sufrir riquísimos lienzos”; y el cuerpo de Santa Cecilia apareció en 1599, al ser persecución. Podían profesar su fe abierta el arca de ciprés que la encerraba, vestida con riquísimas ropas. libremente, construir lugares de culto e Pero no sólo esta esmerada preparación del cadáver es un signo de la iglesias dentro y fuera de las murallas de la piedad y culto profesados por los cristianos a los cuerpos de los difuntos, ciudad y comprar lotes de tierra sin peligro sino también la sepultura material es una expresión clara de estos de que se les confiscasen. mismos sentimientos. Esto se ve claro especialmente en la veneración que Sin embargo, las catacumbas siguieron desde la época de los primeros cristianos se profesó hacia los sepulcros: se funcionando como cementerios regulares esparcían flores sobre ellos y se hacían libaciones de perfumes sobre las hasta el principio del siglo V, cuando la tumbas de los seres queridos… CONTINUARA… Iglesia volvió a enterrar exclusivamente en la superficie y en las basílicas dedicadas a mártires importantes.
