Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ,
quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum iúbeas grege numerári. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
25

We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy whole family;
and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and rank us in the number of Thine Elect. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, bene  díctam, adscríp  tam, ra  tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Cor  pus, et San  guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Iesu Christi.
Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless,  approve,  ratify,  make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body  and Blood  of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, bene  díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed  it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.


28

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.



Símili modo postquam cenátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item tibi grátias agens, bene  díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.
29

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands He blessed  , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.


Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.
30

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH; WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.


As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, eiúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ maiestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, hóstiam  puram, hóstiam  sanctam, hóstiam  immaculátam, Panem  sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem  salútis perpétuæ.
31

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, and also His Resurrection from the dead and His glorious Ascension into heaven: do offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure  Host, a holy  Host, an unspotted  Host, the holy  Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice  of everlasting salvation.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sicúti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui iusti Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.
32

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, and unspotted Victim.
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: iube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor  pus, et Sán  guinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
We most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, command these offerings to be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angels to Thine altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most holy Body  and Blood  of Thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N., qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis. Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus locum refrigérii, lucis, et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Remember also, O Lord, Thy servants and handmaids N. and N., who are gone before us with the sign of faith, and rest in the sleep of peace. To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace; Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Nobis quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Ioánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quǽsumus, largítor admítte. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.
To us also, Thy sinful servants, confiding in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martyrs, with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and with all Thy Saints, into whose company we beseech Thee to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.
Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, sanctí  ficas, viví  ficas, bene  dícis et præstas nobis.
Per ip  sum, et cum ip  so, et in ip  so, est tibi Deo Patri  omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus  Sancti,
omnis honor, et glória.
Per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
R. Amen.
36
By Whom, O Lord, Thou dost ever create, sanctify,  quicken,  bless,  and give unto us all these good things.
By Him,  and with Him,  and in Him  is to Thee, God the Father  almighty, in the unity of the Holy  Ghost,
all honor and glory.
P. World without end.
S. Amen.

O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst to Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: regard not my sins, but the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe to grant her that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
Dómine Iesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntáte Patris, cooperánte Spíritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificásti: líbera me per hoc sacrosánctum Corpus et Sánguinem tuum ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis, et univérsis malis: et fac me tuis semper inhærére mandátis, et a te numquam separári permíttas: Qui cum eódem Deo Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas Deus in sǽcula sæculórum.

Percéptio Córporis tui, Dómine Iesu Christe, quod ego indígnus súmere præsúmo, non mihi provéniat in iudícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Iunctis manibus prosequitur:
In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.
R. Deo grátias.

P. The Lord be with you.

The beginning +︎ of the holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.

POR EL ETERNO DESCANSO DE MI SOBRINO CARLITOS PADRINO EN LA BODA DE COVA SU HERMANA REZO UN DE PROFUNDIS

 


LAS ANIMAS BENDITAS SE LO PAGARÁ ACITERIA CULTO A LOS MUERTOS

 


BERNARDO METGE Y EL CEPILLO DE LAS ÁNIMAS (II)

 

En la iglesia de Fuentesoto años 50 del pasado siglo arriba junto a las bóvedas de luneto anidaba la paloma del Espíritu Santo revoloteando en torno a las barbas del Padre Eterno ostentando la Bola del mundo y asomándose al retablo desde lo alto (dextera patris) flanqueado por dos ángeles de alabastro uno a la derecha y otro a la izquierda.

Me fijé bien ambos bienaventurados estaban sentados y eran ciegos. En la calle central aparecía san Pedro con las llaves encajonado entre dos columnas salomónicas talladas a imitación de jaspe.

Esta fue una visión gloriosa de mi catolicidad de mis primeras misas de los años de la infancia iglesias, templo atestado, mi tio Pedro que venía de arar y se ponía al armonio arropado por los puericantores o un coro de mozas cantaba la missa de Angelis de Perossi.

A lo largo de los años yo vendría  dar a otro templo el de Cudillero al cual llaman la catedralina que era una copia exacta diseñada por el mismo arquitecto en tiempos de Carlos III los mismos ángeles, el mismo san Pedro, idéntica disposición arquitectónica.

Los hombres se sentaban en toscos banco de atrás y las mujeres se desparramaban sentadas a la morisca cabe sus hacheros (cirios encendidos por los difuntos).

 Al final de la misa don Saturnino que era un curón formidable de piel tostada que bajaba de misar del anejo e Tejares o de Valtiendas berreaba responsos ante los congregantes que acudían a ofrecer  minúsculas limosnas una perra gorda, una perra chica, raro era el que dejaba caer en el bonete de don Satur sostenido por las inocentes manos del monaguillo una peseta. Si caía un duro dentro del bonete era señal de que un indiano había vuelto al pueblo montado en un haiga a ver la parentela.

Por toda la nave sonaban los canturreos del cura:

Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison, Pater noster… el padre nuestro lo bisbiseaba don Satur en secreto, pero luego alzaba el vozarrón:

A porta inferi

Erue animas eorum… De la puerta del infierno libra sus almas, Señor.

En ese momento caían los óbolos de la ofrenda. Había que aportar que las ánimas benditas se lo pagarán. Al final del responso el cura revestido de alba y estola animaba a la congregación a rezar una oración penitente para terminar:

▬Digan vuesas mercedes la confesión general.

Don Saturnino se metía en la sacristía, salía a escape y, arremangada la sotana, montaba en su bici y se largaba  a Valtiendas.

Con el rezo del confiteor acababa la liturgia dominical. Mi tío Pedro el sacristán bajaba la tapa del armónium, las chicas del coro bajaban por la escalera de la torre, los turiferarios apagaban las velas, iban saliendo poco a poco las viejas. Se escuchaban valle abajo las campanas de la iglesia de Pecharromán, donde tocaban a misa.

Al abandonar el templo los hombres hacían un garabato ademan de santiguarse y se calaban la gorra en el atrio del templo donde se formaban corrillos. Con la boina cubriendo sus calvas hacían chanzas o comentaban los sucesos más relevantes de la semana al pie de una olma centenaria en medio de la plaza.

El sol de Castilla iluminaba las sonrisas desdentadas y las chaquetas con remiendos de aquellos labrantines que salían de misa y recordaban a sus difuntos en los responsos de don Satur a los que subieron a la barca del más allá y navegaban ya por la laguna Estigia desde donde no se vuelve nunca más.

La devoción a las Animas benditas formó parte de los pensamientos arraigados en mi infancia.

Muerte juicio infierno y gloria ten cristiano en mi memoria ponía en una gran cruz negra pasionista que se alzaba junto al cepillo de las animas al pie de la pila del agua bendita en la portada de la humilde iglesia de Fuentesoto y es que la muerte formaba parte de nuestras vidas y se hallaba presente, inexorable en nuestra visión del mundo, a resultas de un culto ancestral.

La idea era que estamos de paso que la vida es breve y larga será la eternidad. Actualmente hoy a la muerte se le oculta. Devoción a las Ánimas benditas y un cantar: … a la Virgen del Carmen quiero y adoro porque saca las almas del purgatorio, ah el purgatorio fue una teología en la iglesia triunfal que se agrupaba en torno a los muros de Aviñón cuando el cisma de Occidente, dos papas, dos cabezas visibles, el escandaloso Concilio de Constanza y un papa Benedicto XIII honra y gloria de Zaragoza que se negó ante presiones y conminaciones a renunciar a la tiara porque el papa legítimo era él. Ni las iglesias bizantinas ni las nórdicas daban valor a esta creencia con la fuerza que se exhibía en los reinos de Aragón, Valencia, la Aquitania, Toscana. Parece ser que hoy ya no hay Purgatorio. Uno de los últimos pontífices lo suprimió. ¿Qué hacemos entonces con el cepillo de las Animas? El gran escritor catalán Bernardo Metge que escribía no solo en la lengua curial de los reyes aragoneses sino también en la fabla oscense y en latín aborda de la forma elegante esta profunda cuestión que revierte a las profundidades teológicas de la inmortalidad del alma que ya había inquietado a los griegos y romanos. Sea verdad o no que existan, yo sigo en mi senectud rezando, como hice en mi juventud, un padrenuestro a las Animas Benditas antes dormirme… y ellas me lo pagarán porque a fuerza de padrenuestros se las sacaba del purgatorio y se encaminaban al Paraíso. Yo a la sazón me dormía sin ninguna inquietud.
