Posted: 05 May 2017 09:10 AM PDT BALTASAR GRACIAN EL BIBILITANO GRACIÁN  REDIVIVO Nieve en las cumbres y el sol, tan literario, nos sonría, devuelven sus rayos sonrisas repartidas en las alforjas de los recuerdos. Trae  memorias de lo que fue. Baltasar Gracián Morales Cariñena hueca 1601 pero pasó su infancia en Toledo. Fue domestico del cardenal Paravichino y  bajaba por la solana del Tajo a ver pintar al Greco. Sin una profunda vocación religiosa tomaría los votos de la compañía de Jesús. Sin ser un monje devoto cumplió con la Regla a pesar de no entenderse con el superior. La literatura hispana en ello perdió a un místico y ganó a una de las plumas más sagaces en castellano. Quería una vida tranquila. No la tuvo pues en el convento probarían su carácter algo arisco y levantisco sometiéndole al capelo y a esas durísimas probaciones que las jesuitinas suelen hacer. No fue un hombre feliz pero la austeridad como forma de vida le ayudaría a vivir hacia adentro y sobre todo esta condición de ordenado al sacerdote le valdría para dedicarse a escribir. Sería el gran prosista castellano después de Quevedo y cervantes. No se llevaba bien ni con los catalanes ni con los valencianos. El motín de los segadores del Corpus situaría a Gracián acérrimo aragonés de parte de Castilla Después de su tránsito por Gandía la casa madre de la orden y por Gerona es enviado como prefecto de latinidad a Calatayud, y luego va de maestrillo a Calahorra. Allí tiene que echarle un réspice (rapapolvos) a un portugués el padre Tonda “por haber tenido algunas flaquezas con las mujeres” al tiempo que termina de revisar el manuscrito de su libro “El héroe” que dedica al rey Felipe vi. El texto se imprime en los tórculos del oscense Nogués. En 1639 estalla la guerra de Cataluña y el P. Gracián se enrola como capellán de una compañía del Tercio de Sicilia a las órdenes del duque de Noceal. Siendo su capitán el marqués de Leganés. Los soldados de su división llamarían al buen clérigo padre de la victoria. De regreso a Huesca con las tropas publica Agudeza y arte de ingenio y al poco tiempo El discreto  y la primera parte del Criticón su libro más famoso.  Por los conceptos que expresa contra corriente le crecen los enanos y se multiplican sus enemigos tanto fuera como dentro de la Compañía. Baltasar Gracián conviene saberlo les caía mal a muchos por su ascendiente converso y que sabía mucho más de la Escritura que sus rivales y eso es lo que más jode a un español que el otro resulte más eximio en las artes que el uno practica, ya sea en las bellas artes, en el periodismo, o la política. Somos un país maravilloso pero cainita. Padre Nickel prepósito general le ordena que deje de escribir y lo recluye en la casa de la Compañía en Tarazona y luego a Graus en una celda de castigo. Estuvo tres meses a pan y agua. No se rin de el indómito profesor pues decía para libre Aragón y para cojonudo yo.  Esta energía y talante anarquista flota sobre toda la obra gracianesca. Muere sin reconciliarse con el Papa Negro el 6 de noviembre de 1558 a la vista de las cumbres del Moncayo de aquellos Pirineos que él amó tanto. Tenía la y no era muy agraciado físicamente bajo de cuerpo con la cabeza grande miope y de color cetrino cara de pocos amigos pero en su frente parece resplandecer el sol de la sabiduría. Más valen quintaesencias que fárragos y lo bueno si breve dos veces bueno. Lector empedernido. España era para él la cultura perfecta porque solemos mejor entender a los otros de oficio que en el cara a cara que donde hay mucha confianza da asco. No hay lisonja no hay fullería mejor que un libro cada día. Un libro y un amigo quiero yo en mis lares. Con los libros converso y su  dulce conversación son el mejor viático de la existencia. Este bibilitano bien se conoce haber nacido paisano del poeta Marcial padre de la sátira presenta la calidad de su arte un acendrado barroquismo. Gracián es escritor de escritores, epígono de la erudición, párrafos largos y quintaesencias que la crítica olvida con frecuencia y de nuevo se pone de moda a clavo pasado. En 2017 en una España que se enfrenta al secesionismo catalán vuelve el padre Gracián al palenque de lo novedoso. Los grandes hombres son indefinibles porque no están sujetos a norma alguna. Gracián maneja la alegoría y el aforismo con gravedad y sutileza. Por los altos cielos de la alegoría a la que él se eleva vuelan los monstruos. Hay atisbos en el Criticón que anticipan a los aguafuertes de la época negra de Goya o los retablos del Bosco, a golpes de cultismo y paranomasias. Murió a los 56 años ESPAÑA MI NATURA

Posted: 05 May 2017 05:55 AM PDT UN ACCITANO DE GUADIX Y UN CUENTO QUE RETRATA EL SIGLO XIX Pedro Antonio de Alarcón El Clavo Una de las situaciones pintorescas en las que sueña Pedro Antonio de Alarcón en sus nostálgicos y sentimentales cuentos en los que el lector añora Granada( Madrid la calle Atocha y Valdemoro donde residió) es subirse a una diligencia y encontrarse en la rotonda con la mujer de sus sueños. Donde menos se espera salta una aventura pero el humorismo sardónico nos deja con la miel en los labios porque la ínclita- el granadino las preferiría rubias y corpulentas, pecheras, entradas en carnes, algo donde agarrar- resulta una damita muy pudibunda, treinta años, bonitos dientes, hoyuelos en las mejilla, escote alto y un libro en la mano, quizás una novela "cuyo héroe podría parecerse a mí (pues no pide usted nada, don Pedro Antonio), elegante damisela y sola- o viaja en busca de su marido, es una puta o una asesina. El novelista sabe jugar con las situaciones delirantes y atrapando el interés del lector le lleva al huerto pero no hay tal huerto sino una situación bufa. Nuestros antepasados del siglo XIX trataban de ligar en los carruajes de posta. Antes del primer relevo donde estaba la posada del encuarte ya había declarado sus amores. En lo alto del pescante el postillón chascaba la tralla. Se tardaban dos días y medio desde Gijón a Madrid parada en la venta la Tuerta en León, Ataquines, media hora. El viaje a Granada era más peligroso por el aliciente de los bandidos al acecho por Sierra Morena. Estos escritores románticos poco se preocupan del paisaje, tampoco demasiado del paisanaje. El mayoral látigo en ristre para aguantar el frío y las tropelías del camino al bajar Despeñaperros (aquel carretero madre… quede amores me habló etc.), pasado Torrejón, el automedonte se había metido entre pecho y espalda una azumbre de aguardiente y reforzado su lenguaje con un repertorio de delirantes cagamentos. Juras más que un carretero. Para cojurar el aburrimiento o el miedo el cochero se echaba cuatro cantes. Coplas y más coplas. Veredas y más veredas. -¿Vas de recua? -Sí a Sanlucar por ver al Duque. Las mulas eran todas aragonesas más resistentes pero zainas y cabezonas que tú no veas. El camino pedía aventura, reclamaba sobresaltos y daba alguna coz, un golpe inesperado. Los niños del siglo XIX no querían ser pilotos ni bomberos, querían ser delanteros de diligencia y guiar un convoy de mulillas trotonas haciendo sonar los cascabeles de sus colleras. A par de la calesa y sobre una yegua cordobesa a modo de vigilante solía cabalgar un mozo de espuela con un trabuco o una escopeta a la grupa, y que le iba advirtiendo al que guiaba de las incidencias y vericuetos del camino y si el carruaje cargaba trasero o delantero. Manolo tensa las riendas. Pese a las prevenciones las diligencias hacían molino porque se rompía una ballesta o se desbocaba alguno de los jumentos de la recua. Tenía que venir el herrero del pueblo más próximo. Era la desesperación pero Menéndez y Pelayo en el itinerario que va entre la Puerta del Sol y Puerto Chico solía leerse diez libros mientras se fumaba una caja de puros. Si a la señora se le antojaba hacer pipi, ningún problema: con alzarse las enaguas y empotrar las nalgas en un sillico oculto bajo el asiento y a soltar el chorro o lo otro por la bacinilla coprónica, pues no tenía que hacer cola en los lavabos, así se hacía el avío del cagar y mear sina apearse; todo marchaba sobre ruedas. En estos viajes se trababan amistades que duraban de por vida, se contaban historias difíciles de olvidar y algunos incluso encontraban con la mujer de sus sueños. Don Pedro Antonio por lo que parece no pero otros galanes tenían más suerte. En las diligencias se moría la gente, nacían niños y se hacía el amor. Comodidades e inconveniencias del romanticismo. En las fondas esperaban los chinches, el candil de sebo y alguna Trotaconventos a la que se podía hacer un favor por unos pocos patacones o un maravedí, porque entonces al no haber puticlubs el alterne buscaba sus sitios estratégicos en las ventas como las de Bembibre a pelo o al ajo arriero que en un recodo cuatro bandidos salieron, reza la canción, pues a Bembibre iremos todos como buenos compañeros. Había mesones y ventas que eran famosas en toda España desde el siglo XVI. Allí nació la novela picaresca y el romanticismo. Bécquer era también un apasionado de una diligencia a Soria que cruzaba media meseta. La vida acaso tuviera otro sabor más fuerte que ahora. Pero los olores eran parecidos. Olor a tierra mojada, olor a mujer y olor a tinta fresca del papel recién salido de la imprenta- Alarcón quiso ser cura, luego militar pero acabó en periodista. Le aguardaba la probe menesterosa existencia de casi todos los escritores en su profético quehacer desagradecido. De muchos de sus contemporáneos ya nadie se acuerda pero sobre los sueños de estos artistas pergeñados en papel escribe la posterioridad. Ninguna riqueza mayor que la del espíritu. La vida de un poeta suele repetirse en unos y otros. No trasciende su labor ni son reconocidos en su trabajo aunque haya pocos menesteres en el mundo que proporcionen tantas satisfacciones interiores y aporten, inherente. Una grandeza interior que sólo conocen unos pocos. Tanta dignidad de hombre no cabe en estos seres olvidados a solas en su habitación amanuenses, pendolistas, cazadores de historias y de sueños, cálamo en ristre. Ya Stalin los llamaba ingenieros del alma. En la antigua URSS era un gremio que gozó de ciertas perspectivas de futuros al igual que en los tiempos del franquismo (nunca se publicó tanto ni tan bueno en España como el periodo 1938-1975.) Entonces podría haber censura previa. Ahora hemos vuelto a las horcas caudinas de la Inquisición globalizada y universalista. Puedes publicar un libro pero no distribuirlo, nadie lo comentará en los medios si contiene apostillas al Régimen. Los medios de comunicación, las editoriales perroneras se hallan en manos de los enemigos de Cristo. Así buenos novelistas y poetas quedan preteridos, fuera del juego, sometidos a una conspiración de silencio. Es la ley del silencio Estos que se proclaman demócratas ["nosotros somos demócratas… demócratas sí pero para vosotros mismos con la ley del embudo en la mano*] no dejan pasar una. Imponen el trágala del pensamiento único, políticamente correcto. Oye no te pases. Y te exhiben la argucia de las leyes de la oferta y la demanda que ellos controlan: el marketing. Han capado el ingenio, mandaron al ostracismo a los escritores de inspiración y talento que son suplantados por la morralla informativa y los lameculos del Régimen, prácticos del auto bombo, estómagos agradecidos. Los elegidos de la musa están mucho peor que sus antepasados que eran gente de rumbo aunque por poco dinero y solían vivir en la plaza. Sus sucesores llevan vida de forzados en las ergástulas del anonimato. Es lo peor que le puede ocurrir a un literato: que le digan tú no existes. Dijo Larra escribir en España es llorar. Hoy a las plañideras les ahogan el grito con un sistema de cencerros tapados. Espronceda, Mesonero Romanos, Zorrilla, Bécquer, el propio Alarcón murieron en la indigencia pero gozaron de mucha fama y lograron publicar. Hoy no lo conseguirían y con decir que el Nobel se lo dieron a Vargas Llosa ya está todo dicho. Pedro Antonio de Alarcón en su existencia terrenal pegó bastantes tumbos y rebotes. De anarquista empedernido se proclamó fiel vasallo de los borbones y anticlerical furibundo acabó besando la mano a todos los obispos y arzobispos. ¿Por mor de los garbanzos? Toda su obra rezuma melancolía, la tristeza y resignación de un ex seminarista que hubo de renunciar al sacerdocio porque murió la señora que le pagaba la beca. La perversa educación sentimental, los evidentes traumas sexuales del escritor destellan a lo largo de su obra. Ponía a todas las mujeres en un pedestal, idealizaba el amor porque lo iniciaron en la utopía pero a la vuelta de la esquina aguardaba el desengaño. De aquellas veneras emocionales estas romerías, estos fracasos y ridículos. Le van a pegar las mujeres muchas tortas. Estos románticos eran todos un poco salidos pero al final resultan unos pardillos. No se puede andar de esa manera por el mundo so pena de que el mihura del destino te sacuda no pocos revolcones y bajonazos. En "Las cartas de un testigo de la guerra de África", "El sombrero de tres picos" o "El Escándalo" entreverada con una cierta ingenuidad no exenta de ironía resplandece la maestría noveladora de este accitano- era de Guadix el pueblo más viejo de España en la hermosa Penibética y cerca de la carena de Peña Nevada al igual que don Pedro Aparicio que fue mi maestro de periodismo- se advierte junto la fecundidad y variedad de los argumentos el saber llevar el plot. "El Clavo", una historia corta, o una "esdacha" de rancio sabor ruso es todo un thriller digno de Edgar Alan Poe, cuento algo macabro: una calavera encontrada en un cementerio sevillano que tenía clavada una punta en el hueso coronal. Del hilo al ovillo y por un clavo se perdió una herradura y por una herradura se perdió un caballo y por un caballo se perdió la guerra. Resulta que la mujer que encuentra en el trayecto Málaga Granada el enamoradizo narrador, una tal Gabriela Zahara del Valle era la culpable de aquella calavera y aquel clavo que ríen la danza macabra de la muerte en un osario. Había dado muerte inducida por el amante a su esposo. Resulta que el que la cortejaba era el propio juez de instrucción que, sin saberlo, y tras ciertas pesquisas periciales en una visita al camposanto de autos, la condena a muerte. La rea confiesa su culpabilidad al tiempo que su amor por el hombre que la juzgaba. A mediados del siglo XIX con el romanticismo en su apogeo tales situaciones tan inverosímiles hoy dificilmente podían darse. Gabriela sube al patíbulo y al letrado que dictó sentencia lo destinan a la Audiencia de la Habana. A la sazón el feminismo no había asomado la oreja. Quiso la fatalidad que aquel crimen que fue descubierto por un procedimiento de rutina ocurriera en 1843 en la persona de Alfonso Gutiérrez del Romeral y parece basado en un hecho real. Tras cornudo apaleado. El juez que entendió la causa y dictó sentencia decía llamarse Tomás Zarco. He aquí una novela corta de acción trepidante. La misoginia de don Pedro Antonio sale a relucir. No se fiaba demasiado de las damiselas de las que se declaraba rendido amador en los trayectos del coche de postas., fue infeliz en su matrimonio. Se le murió un hijo adolescente. Este alpujarreño fue para muchos de nosotros uno de los escritores preferidos de nuestra adolescencia. Sus libros era una invitación a recorrer mundos fantásticos. Te hacían soñar. Hoy yacen en el olvido. Fueron bestsellers en su época; Alarcón fue el escritor más vendido con Fernán Caballero. Algún día volverá a ser reconocido cuando pase esta mala racha de críticos modorros, faltos de gusto y cursis anglosajones. Que han sustituido a los petimetres a la violeta afrancesados de hace dos siglos y a Paris por London. Hoy mandan en este corral con tufos de gallinero los anglos. Parece mentira que una literatura tan hermosa como la española, tan rica, tan human, sea desdeñada por los que se empeñan en pensar y en escribir en inglés y lo hacen mal porque ni galgos ni perdigueros. Sea desconocida por las nuevas generaciones, una artimaña del sionismo. Dios sabrá si son mastines o son podencos. "El Clavo" en resumidas cuentas es una pequeña obra maestra ESPAÑA MI NATURA

EBURNEA SEGOVIENSIS LA CATEDRAL DE SEGOVIA Posted: 05 May 2017 05:43 AM PDT LA CATEDRAL DE SEGOVIA EN LA LITERATURA   La catedral está bien situada (leemos al comienzo de la novela de Jesús Fernández Santos “Las catedrales”), en el lugar más alto de la ciudad. Es la segunda que alzó el cabildo. La primera estuvo asentada en lugar más bajo y menos protagonista y, además, estorbaba el ardor guerrero del alcázar”. Gótico tardío como gustaba de llamarla Umbral. Constituye junto con la de Oviedo y la de Salamanca el último suspiro de la arquitectura medieval. Las tres diseñadas por Gil de Hontañón Pero la de Segoviana turris ebúrneaes la más alta de toda. Su cimborrio puede otearse los días claros a cien kilómetros. Son cuatrocientos treinta escalones desde la base al campanario. Imponente mole.  Su erección, comenzada después de ser destruida la anterior en la guerra de las Comunidades, costó sesenta muertos de todos los oficios albañiles carpinteros fumistas vidrieros talabarteros e incluso un canónigo se ahorcó era el limosnero (no le salían las cuentas al hacer el arqueos), vio bajar al sepulcro y ser coronados a diez obispos, recibió victoriosa las banderas de Flandes, lloró a muchos muertos. Campanas de gloria y misas de réquiem de todo hubo. Convidado de piedra y testigo mudo del paso de ocho generaciones Detrás de estos hermosos edificios se oculta una historia de afanes, pleitos, dilaciones, obreros que fallecían al caerse del andamio, canónigos fabriqueros que la palmaban a causa de un berrinche con los capataces, encargados que desaparecían con el dinero del cepillo de las ánimas, paros en la construcción por falta de presupuesto. Un ir y venir. Doscientos años en la vida de una ciudad de para muchos encuentros y desencuentros —Notre Dame de Paris tardó algo más y la construcción de la catedral de Lincoln llevó tres siglos— y este es el punto de arranque de esta excelente novela. La iglesia mayor de Segovia dedicada a Santa María es cifra y compendio de esa catolicidad titánica de nuestros ancestros. La jerarquía inspiró de la mano de la tradición y de la escritura pero quien puso manos a la obra fue el pueblo. Aquella Europa de las catedrales quiso edificar la ciudad de Dios, arduo empeño que se llevó por delante muchas vidas. En lo alto de la torre allí donde se abren los cuatro ventanos vivía el campanero con su familia: la madre, el padre, Inés y Agustinillo al que pegaron un tiro en el Cerro Matabueyes; una familia con sus aperos de labranza, los cacharros de cocinar, la lumbre y las trébedes y hasta un cerdo que mataban por san Andrés. Fernández Santos sitúa la acción durante la guerra civil cuando la torre catedralicia era un centro de vigilancia a los aviones. Un radar que escudriñaba los horizontes de la Mujer Muerta y Siete Picos. El libro debe de ser autobiográfico pues la familia del escritor se refugió en la Ciudad del Acueducto al venir el Movimiento. Describe el fervor con qué se subió en procesión a la Virgen de la Fuencisla desde el santuario para evitar que los “otros” entrasen y supone que tal vez a esta intercesión milagrosa se evitó la destrucción de la milenaria urbe romana. Encontré en las páginas de esta novela enigmática retazos de mi infancia mirando siempre para aquella catedral totémica con un campanario que eran cuatro ojos miraderos de una suprema atalaya. A Fernández Santos lo conocí en el café Gijón allá por el año 93, iba por el sexto gintonic decía que tenía dolores y la ginebra le calmaba. El y yo, más sobrio que un fiscal, compartimos los dos recuerdos de la Dama de las Catedrales. Uno fue monaguillo o seise de la santa iglesia catedral, sotana roja con esclavina roquete blanco las mangas perdidas de cera. Me dejaron entrar porque me sabía de memoria el “confiteor”. Fueron las oposiciones más fáciles y agradables que hice en mi vida. Toda una serie de personajes de la vida real que conocimos — S. Santos alarga el catalejo desde su atalaya en lo alto y trata de encontrar el pulso vital de Segovia c. 1937 como Clarín describe el Oviedo del finiseculo del XIX — y ahí nos encontramos a don Cristino el archivero toda una vida leyendo y tomando apuntes para preparar un libro sobre la historia del cabildo. He aquí que se acuesta una noche decidido a emprender la tarea y a la mañana siguiente amanece sin memoria, victima del alzheimer. Don Cristino nunca publicó sus memorias. O al deán Fernando Revuelta el amigo del general Varela al cual le apasionaba la Historia de los Heterodoxos de Menéndez y Pelayo aunque no tanto como los automóviles y las carreras de motos, sobre todo el biscuter, que estaban probando en la fábrica de Caretas y el SEAT 600. Un día en la sacristía mientras se desvestía, al cabo de una misa pontifical, le pregunté a bocajarro al señor deán: — ¿Por que no se usted echa coche don Fernando? —Niño — dijo— ¿para qué quiero coche si no tengo para gasolina? Soy un cura pobre Y era verdad; el cabildo y el obispado eran riquísimos en bienes raíces casas pinares huertas pero sin apenas liquidez; a muchos canónigos en cuanto si les llegaba para mantenerse con la prestamera del beneficio. Leyendo este hermoso libro a ratos melancólico, otras procaz, (podían ocurrir muchas cosas al subir los cuatrocientos y pico escalones de la escalera de caracol, que también allí el diablo se esconde por los rincones, aunque un letrero a la entrada del claustro lo exprimiese bien tajante: “pena de excomunión para el que en este sagrado recinto tenga pensamientos impuros o haga actos deshonestos”) he recuperado el niño y adolescente que fui. Toda una familia vivía arriba con sus gallinas, el cerdo en la cohorte, y el aceite hirviendo en la perola donde la madre freía torreznillos. Luego, cuando pusieron luz eléctrica, no hubo necesidad de campanero. Colocaron abajo el telefonillo y las campanas repicaban solas, accionando el interruptor de un circuito electrónica desde la sacristía. Ya no fue necesario que el señor Sebastián aquel morañero pequeñito pero recio - me parece que era de Abades,-  el sacristán, todo un atleta,  ágil como una ardilla (eso yo lo he visto) trepase por la cuerda que colgaba de lo alto de la bóveda y gateara hasta arriba. Una vez en la cúspide, desenrollaba la cuerda del badajo que estaba enroscada.  Luego descendería sus cincuenta y tantos metros descolgándose por la maroma con habilidad, y tan pichi. Aquello parecía un número de circo. Los esculcas desde la atalaya en tiempo de guerra avisaban de la inminencia de un bombardeo pero la fuerza de Riquelme con los internacionales no pasó del Cerro Matabueyes. Allí estaba la Virgen de la Fuencisla cerrando el paso. Nombraronla capitana generala. Fueron contenidos por la infantería del general Varela, que me parece que era algo amigo del deán, Allí fue donde le sacudieron un tiro a Agustinillo. Ese es uno de los ejes de marcha del argumento de esta novela sin tratamiento lineal sino a saltos siguiendo el esquema de la narrativa moderna donde los hechos reales se entreveran con los flujos de conciencia. Subieron en procesión a la Patrona desde su santuario. La catedral era un hormiguero de gente y su torre un pararrayos.  Cumplió su misión estratégica. Hoy ya no hay gallinas en el último piso. El campanario se ha convertido en un centro de atracción turística que ofrece las mejores vistas de la ciudad. ¡Viva la concordia y la paz aunque no vaya tanta gente a misa! ESPAÑA MI NATURA

HOY VIERNES SANTO PIDO POR EL ALMA MI MAESTRO RODRIGO ROYO GRAN ESCRITOR VALENCIANO DE ALCIRA Y FALANGISTA. QUE DEFENDIÓ LA CRUZ EN RUSIA Posted: 14 Apr 2017 06:06 AM PDT Rodrigo Royo "TODAVIA", LA MEJOR NOVELA DE LA GUERRA CIVIL       Por ser el otro día las Candelas no corrimos el gallo la antevíspera pero fuimos en procesión con las paridas con un pichón y dos tórtolas y a la mañana siguiente una vela a san Blas que nos librará de la tos ferina.   Con hogueras honramos a santa Brígida y hoy santa Águeda bendita nos muestra, pudorosa, los pechos cercenados por el pretor Quinciano a cuyo apetito carnal no quiso condescender aquella doncella romana ¿Por qué, cobarde, cercenas las tetas de una mujer? La gloriosa virgen siciliana nos amamantará con el maná de la Redención y los zamarriegos están que lo tiran. Es fiesta en Zamarramala y dicen que hoy mandan las mujeres y aunque no lo crean las “Pusis” Cristo fue el primer feminista.   Pero me inhibo, no quiero leer las noticias amenazadoras que coartarán nuestras libertades y, uncido al carro vigilante de Google, me sumo en una de las novelas que guardaban turno en las filas de mi anaquel “Todavía” de mi maestro Rodrigo Royo y paso una horas deliciosas estos días primeros de febrero cuando vuelven las cigüeñas y la epacta llega bien apretada de festividades y honras significativas a los santos mártires, doctores, confesores y santas vírgenes de nuestra Santa Madre la Iglesia.   ¿Será que en las auras de la noche hay un remecer de primavera? La novela de mi maestro y director el que me abrió las difíciles y misteriosas puertas carreteras de esta profesión y parece que me habla desde las páginas del libro primorosamente editado y que fue premio Ateneo de Sevilla 1974 es un grito frente a las crueldades del destino y un susurro de resignación pues tendrá que ser así aunque no sea justo tanto olvido.   Escuché la voz de Rodrigo, su carcajada, su estilo inimitable. Escribir es encontrar una voz propia que llega entre las alas de los ángeles y me acuerdo de la frase de Quevedo Escucho con mis ojos con los muertos vivo en conversación con los difuntos. Es la magia de la literatura y hay que dar gracias a Dios porque los españoles podemos hallar verdaderos tesoros escondidos en los libros de autores a los que dieron de lado, de apellidos malditos, ristra de nombres descatalogados.   Ningún texto de los que pregona el Mundo en sus páginas culturales ensalzando mediocridades en inglés logra la talla de un manuscrito como este (Rodrigo Royo siempre escribía a mano y con pluma, nunca a máquina.) Claro esto es la ley del embudo. España vive un proceso de desespañolización tendente a privar a las nuevas generaciones de la verdad y del goce estético. España despanzurrada y exangüe, España sin medula. Es un ente de razón, una mariposa disecada entre las páginas de un misal.    Este olvido es para mí mucho más nocivo que todos eso escándalos financieros de la hora presente (a nuestros cronistas de la radio y de la tele, a nuestros bustos parlantes parece les dieron azogue y pica, pues no paran, oye, en sus letanías, el país está hecho una braga)) que siendo graves en sí tienen por objeto comerle el coco al currito de a pie, lavarle el cerebro. Friegas de papel de estraza de crispación, insultos al pasado.   El mensaje de esta gran novela dice que los vencedores habiendo ganado la guerra luego la perdieron en la paz dentro de un marco largo de la legalidad y la reconversión tecnológica, del fracaso de las ideologías. De ahí nos viene el letargo.   Los luchadores por la libertad de uno y otro consorcio devinieron esclavos. Hemos vuelto a la normalidad, se escuchaba el aullido cenagoso de la mentira. Las espadas lucían en el aire esgrimiendo su desquite. Los goznes de la historia chirriaban estridentes con su oxidada marcha atrás. Estamos otra vez en el punto de partida pero qué hermoso era el verano en Alea. Queremos mujeres y a vosotros ¿os gustan las profesionales o las aficionadas? Igual me da, yo lo que quiero es joder… pero en la inmensa oscuridad del cielo las estrellas se desvanecían asustadas...   Miguel Chorreta el anarquista y Rafael el falangista el hijo del terrateniente se parecen como dos hermanos mielgos y se complementan en su mentalidad revolucionaria, en su bondad en su lucha por el bien común, apéndice psicológicos de las contradicciones del novelista, puesto que articulan en su propuesta revolucionaria dos aspectos de la vasta personalidad del autor que en Alea (Alcira) en la Mancha valenciana efectúa un canto a su patria chica como apéndice de su patria grande: España. Alea era una tarjeta postal un pueblo con castillo en manos de veinte familias. Alea. Alcira. “alea jacta est”. Nunca sin embargo pasaremos el Rubicón.   Viene la revolución y Chorreta manda fusilar al dictado de lo que le impone su mente pero contraviniendo los consejos de su corazón al cura a don Práxedes y a otros diez más. Les dan el paseo de madrugada a la luz de los faros de un Hispano Suiza con el motor al relentí iluminando la ardiente oscuridad del barbecho una noche de agosto. Escena impresionante. Cuando entran los nacionales y cambian las banderas, Chorreta y sus compinches serán pasados por las armas, cabe las tapias del cementerio. Eso sí los nacionales a sus víctimas no las paseaban,  las fusilaban tras un juicio previo ante un consejo de guerra aunque para el caso viene a ser lo mismo. Escena no menos impresionante porque entre le pelotón de soldados hay algún militar que se viene abajo y rehúsa la orden de fuego. Rafael el falangista quiso  reanudar la labor dejada a medias por el anarquista pero a Rafael también fue engullido por las pirañas de la normalidad: los banqueros, los tecnócratas que mean agua bendita, la imponderable castuza política que cayó sobre nosotros como un baldón.   Ni Galdós ni Baroja hubieran sido capaces de describir una cosa así, con tanta solercia, con tanta acuidad, con tanto salero. Eran demasiado garbanceros, demasiado famosos y en este país unos ensillan y otros cabalgan. También en literatura.   Rodrigo Royo realiza un tour de force en tales episodios con capacidades sinfónicas porque era aparte de un gran escritor y periodista un excelente violinista La novela viene a tener calidades de partitura sinfónica. Cruda trama pero tan árido escenario se le hubiera ido de las manos a cualquier narrador menos capaz. Entre medias se dan cita la ternura, el amor, las dudas porque ni unos ni otros son enteramente buenos ni enteramente perversos. La guerra. culpable del odio fratricida, se escucha lejana en este pueblo de la retaguardia.   El enfrentamiento de dos ideologías urde los hilos del pathos que dejaría un reguero de sangre y más de un millón de muertos. Después, cada mochuelo a su olivo.   Miguel Chorreta (maravillosamente descrito y una prolongación del alma del novelista) aparte de guerrillero se muestra como un organizador capaz que piensa en el futuro e idea un sistema de pozos artesianos para extraer de los montes cercanos un raudal que llevase el agua al pueblo de secano. Luego está la gracia, la chispa, el donaire y el interés que hacen sugestiva y maravillosa a una obra de arte, el lenguaje, la sintaxis de un estilo sencillo pero por eso mismo inimitable.   He escuchado la voz de Rodrigo a lo largo de estas páginas, sus carcajadas, su inconformismo, su intolerancia, su bonhomía y su perdón porque era generoso y magnánimo con sus semejantes (Padre, perdónalos) y la alacridad frente a las cuestiones sexuales.   El capítulo del burdel de Valencia donde conocen el amor los jóvenes de Alea constituye una obra maestra de psicología así como la descripción del amor platónico que siente Rafael hacia su novia Carmenchu a la cual no llega a conocer en sentido bíblico  Los hombres y las mujeres cuando les ha salido callos en el corazón sienten la punzada del desencanto por no haber consumado el amor de su adolescencia. El hombre a veces lo perdona y se lo perdona a sí mismo. La mujer no se lo perdona jamás ni se lo perdona al hombre. Volver la vista atrás ¿para qué?    Ello revela un gran conocimiento por parte del autor de la psicología amorosa. Estas rendijas del pasado quedarán en el recuerdo como burletes que nadie conseguirá tapar. Miguel el jefe del comité es el buen salvaje pero el destino le va a jugar una mala pasada a este anarquista cuyo ideal consistía en hacer el bien y si no lograba hacer el bien realizar el menor daño posible a sus semejantes.   Hay la escena de la castración de un miliciano e incluso la violación de una mujer que a no ser por la pericia para relatar que exhibe el autor hubieran resultado chabacanas pero se convierten en elegantes páginas de humor y de distanciamiento cervantino.   “Todavía” es un clásico, sin duda una de las grandes novelas de nuestra guerra civil escrita de forma sencilla, ágil pero manejando infinidad de recursos de fabulación que sólo poseen aquellos hombres del Movimiento (Tomás Salvador, Luis Romero, Emilio Romero, José Luis Castillo Puche, Rafael Sánchez Mazas, Rodrigo Royo, Álvaro Cunqueiro, Cela, Vicente Soto) toda una pléyade surgida en aquel illic et nunc que nunca volverá a repetirse en España. “Todavía” me ha traído esta noche auras del azahar de los naranjales levantinos en este día frío de Santa Águeda cuando en Madrid empieza a sentirse la primavera.   La última vez que lo vi el año 80 ante una mesa enorme de caoba de director de periódico – parecía un evacuado de la guerra civil- de la calle San Roque, cerraba hostigado por unos y por otros el diario Informaciones daba sopas a un gatito que le habían regalado las monjas y me dijo:   -Hora es ya de irse a escribir una novela   Nunca la llegó a escribir pero se puso a tocar el violín para amansar a las fieras. Sus acreedores le zarandeaban por la pechera. Murió a los pocos meses.   “Todavía” fue su testamento literario pero esta noche de febrero oí su voz que me gritaba. Rodrigo era un ángel encaramado en lo más alto de un lucero. Lo fusilaron unos y otros y su voz o su lamento que escucho desde mi celda es el llanto de España.   Todavía no nos podrán arrebatar el entusiasmo, el goce estético que nos produce una obra de arte, aunque lo hayamos perdido todo, hasta la camisa a manos de los arrebatacapas de siempre. Estamos rodeados y hoy el cine, la tele, los periódicos, los “books” son una herramienta propagandística. Fuera, quedan pocos todavías. Mejor encontrarlos adentro.       Publicado por PREFERENS en 18:24   ESPAÑA MI NATURA

passio domini nostri Posted: 14 Apr 2017 04:20 AM PDT ESPAÑA MI NATURA

HOY 15 ABRIL 2017 ES VIERNES SANTO. ADOREMOS A LA CRUZ. ADORAMUS TE XTE ET BENEDICIMUS TE QUIA PER SANCTAM CRUCEM TUAM REDIMISTE MUNDUM. LITURGIA LATINA Posted: 14 Apr 2017 04:10 AM PDT Lectiones Hæc dicit Dóminus: In tribulatione sua mane consúrgent ad me: Veníte, et revertámur ad Dóminum: quia ipse cepit, et sanábit nos: percútiet, et curábit nos. Vivificábit nos post duos dies: in die tértia suscitábit nos, et vivémus in conspéctu ejus. Sciémus, sequemúrque, ut cognoscámus Dóminum: quasi dilúculum præparátus est egréssus ejus, et véniet quasi imber nobis temporáneus et serótinus terræ. Quid fáciam tibi, Ephraim? Quid fáciam tibi, Juda? misericórdia vestra quasi nubes matutína: et quasi ros mane pertránsiens. Propter hoc dolávi in prophétis, occídi eos in verbis oris mei: et judícia tua quasi lux egrediéntur. Quia misericórdiam vólui, et non sacrifícium, et sciéntiam Dei, plus quam holocáusta. Dómine, audívi audítum tuum, et tímui: considerávi ópera tua, et expávi. V. In médio duórum animálium innotescéris: dum appropinquáverint anni, sognoscéris: dum advénerit tempus, osténdens, V. In eo, dum conturbáta fúerit ánima mea: in ira, misericórdiæ memor eris. V. Deus a Líbano véniet, et Sanctus de monte umbróso et condénso. V. Opéruit coelos majéstas ejus: et laudis ejus plena est terra. Orémus V. Flectámus génua. R. Leváte. Deus, a quo et Judas reátus sui poenam, et confessiónis suæ latro praemium sumpsit, concéde nobis tuæ propitiatiónis efféctum: ut, sicut in passióne sua Jesus Christus, Dóminus noster, divérsa utrísque íntulit stipéndia meritórum; ita nobis, abláto vetustátis erróre, resurrectiónis suæ grátiam largiátur: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus per omnia saecula saeculorum. R. Amen. 1 Lectiones Thus saith the Lord: In their affliction they will rise early to Me: Come, and let us return to the Lord, for He hath taken us, and He will heal us, He will strike, and He will cure us. He will revive us after two days: on the third day He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight. We shall know and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light and He will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth. What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Juda? Your mercy is as a morning cloud and as the dew that goeth away in the morning. For this reason have I hewed them by the Prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgements shall go forth as the light. For I desired mercy and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts. O Lord, I have heard Thy hearing and was afraid: I have considered Thy works and trembled. V. In the midst of two animals Thou shalt be made known: when the years shall draw nigh Thou shalt be known: when the time shall come, Thou shalt be manifested. V. When my soul shall be in trouble, Thou wilt remember mercy, even in Thy wrath. V. God will come from Libanus, and the Holy One from the shady and thickly covered mountain. V. His majesty covered the heavens: and the earth is full of His praise. Let us pray. D. Let us kneel. R. Arise. O God, from whom Judas received the punishment of his guilt, and the thief the reward of his confession: grant unto us the full fruit of Thy clemency; that even as in His Passion, our Lord Jesus Christ gave to each a retribution according to his merits, so having taken away our old sins, He may bestow upon us the grace of His Resurrection. Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Sin autem minor est númerus, ut suffícere possit ad vescéndum agnum, assúmet vicínum suum, qui junctus est dómui suæ, juxta númerum animárum, quæ suffícere possunt ad esum agni. Erit autem agnus absque mácula, másculus, annículus: juxta quem ritum tollétis et hædum. Et servábitis eum usque ad quartam décimam diem mensis hujus: immolabítque eum univérsa multitúdo filiórum Israël ad vésperam. Et sument de sánguine ejus, ac ponent super utrúmque postem et in superlimináribus domórum, in quibus cómedent illum. Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et ázymos panes cum lactúcis agréstibus. Non comedétis ex eo crudum quid nec coctum aqua, sed tantum assum igni: caput cum pédibus ejus et intestínis vorábitis. Nec remanébit quidquam ex eo usque mane. Si quid resíduum fúerit, igne comburétis. Sic autem comedétis illum: Renes vestros accingétis, et calceaménta habébitis in pédibus, tenéntes báculos in mánibus, et comedétis festinánter: est enim Phase id est tránsitus Dómini. Eripe me, Dómine, ab homine malo: a viro iníquo líbera me. V. Qui cogitavérunt malítias in corde: tota die constituébant proelia. V. Acuérunt linguas suas sicut serpéntis: venénum áspidum sub labiis eórum. V. Custódi me, Dómine, de manu peccatóris: et ab homínibus iníquis libera me. V. Qui cogitavérunt supplantáre gressus meos: abscondérunt supérbi láqueum mihi. V. Et funes extendérunt in láqueum pédibus meis: juxta iter scándalum posuérunt mihi. V. Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu: exáudi, Dómine, vocem oratiónis meæ. V. Dómine, Dómine, virtus salútis meæ: obúmbra caput meum in die belli. V. Ne tradas me a desidério meo peccatóri: cogitavérunt advérsus me: ne derelínquas me, ne umquam exalténtur. V. Caput circúitus eórum: laDor labiórum ipsórum opériet eos. V. Verúmtamen justi confitebúntur nómini tuo: et habitábunt recti cum vultu tuo. 2 In those days the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first in the months of the year. Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day fo this month let every man take a lamb by their families and houses. But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb, be shall take unto him his neighbor that joineth to his house, according to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb. And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year: according to which rite also you shall take a kid. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month: and the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in the evening. And they shall take of blood thereof, and put it upon both the side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire: and unleavened bread with wild lettuce. You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted at the fire. You shall eat the head with the feet and entrails thereof. Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If there be an thing left, you shall burn it with fire. And thus you shall eat it: You shall gird your reins, and you shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you shall eat in haste; for it is the Phase that is the Passage of the Lord. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man. V. Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles. V. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; the venom of asps is under their lips. V. Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. V. Who have proposed to supplant my steps. The proud have hidden a net for me. V. And tehy have stretched out cords for a snare for my feet; they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside. V. I said to the Lord: Thou art my God. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication. V. O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: overshadow my head in the day of battle. V. Give me not up from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me. Do not Thou forsake me, lest at any time they should triumph. V. The head of them compassing me about: the labor of their lips shall overwhelm them. V. But the just shall give glory to Thy Name: and the upright shall dwell with Thy countenance. Top  Next Passio Pássio Dómini nostri Jesu Christi secúndum Joánnem In illo témpore: Egréssus est Jesus cum discípulis suis trans torréntem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introívit ipse et discípuli ejus. Sciébat autem et Judas, qui tradébat eum, locum: quia frequénter Jesus convénerat illuc cum discípulis suis. Judas ergo cum accepísset cohórtem, et a pontifícibus et pharisaeis minístros, venit illuc cum latérnis et fácibus et armis. Jesus ítaque sciens ómnia, quæ ventúra erant super eum, procéssit, et dixit eis: J. Quem quaeritis? C. Respondérunt ei: S. Jesum Nazarénum. C. Dicit eis Jesus: J. Ego sum. C. Stabat autem et Judas, qui tradébat eum, cum ipsis. Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abiérunt retrorsum, et cecidérunt in terram. Iterum ergo interrogávit eos: J. Quem quaeritis? C. Illi autem dixérunt: S. Jesum Nazarénum. C. Respóndit Jesus: J. Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quaeritis, sinite hos abíre. C. Ut implerétur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedísti mihi, non pérdidi ex eis quemquam. Simon ergo Petrus habens gládium edúxit eum: et percússit pontíficis servum: et abscídit aurículam ejus déxteram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus. Dixit ergo Jesus Petro: J. Mitte gládium tuum in vagínam. Cálicem, quem dedit mihi Pater, non bibam illum? C. Cohors ergo et tribúnus et minístri Judæórum comprehendérunt Jesum, et ligavérunt eum: et adduxérunt eum ad Annam primum, erat enim socer Cáiphæ, qui erat póntifex anni illíus. Erat autem Cáiphas, qui consílium déderat Judaeis: Quia expédit, unum hóminem mori pro pópulo. Sequebátur autem Jesum Simon Petrus et álius discípulus. Discípulus autem ille erat notus pontífici, et introívit cum Jesu in átrium pontíficis. Petrus autem stabat ad óstium foris. Exívit ergo discípulus álius, qui erat notus pontífici, et dixit ostiáriæ: et introdúxit Petrum. Dicit ergo Petro ancílla ostiária: S. Numquid et tu ex discípulis es hóminis istíus? C. Dicit ille: S. Non sum. C. Stabant autem servi et minístri ad prunas, quia frigus erat, et calefaciébant se: erat autem cum eis et Petrus stans et calefáciens se. Póntifex ergo interrogávit Jesum de discípulis suis et de doctrína ejus. Respóndit ei Jesus: J. Ego palam locútus sum mundo: ego semper dócui in synagóga et in templo, quo omnes Judaei convéniunt: et in occúlto locútus sum nihil. Quid me intérrogas? intérroga eos, qui audiérunt, quid locútus sim ipsis: ecce, hi sciunt, quæ díxerim ego. C. Hæc autem cum dixísset, unus assístens ministrórum dedit álapam Jesu, dicens: S. Sic respóndes pontífici? C. Respóndit ei Jesus: J. Si male locútus sum, testimónium pérhibe de malo: si autem bene, quid me cædis? C. Et misit eum Annas ligátum ad Cáipham pontíficem. Erat autem Simon Petrus stans et calefáciens se. Dixérunt ergo ei: S. Numquid et tu ex discípulis ejus es? C. Negávit ille et dixit: S. Non sum. C. Dicit ei unus ex servis pontíficis, cognátus ejus, cujus abscídit Petrus aurículam: S. Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo? C. Iterum ergo negávit Petrus: et statim gallus cantávit. Addúcunt ergo Jesum a Cáipha in prætórium. Erat autem mane: et ipsi non introiérunt in prætórium, ut non contaminaréntur, sed ut manducárent pascha. Exívit ergo Pilátus ad eos foras et dixit: S. Quam accusatiónem affértis advérsus hóminem hunc? C. Respondérunt et dixérunt ei: S. Si non esset hic malefáctor, non tibi tradidissémus eum. C. Dixit ergo eis Pilátus: S. Accípite eum vos, et secúndum legem vestram judicáte eum. C. Dixérunt ergo ei Judaei: S. Nobis non licet interfícere quemquam. C. Ut sermo Jesu implerétur, quem dixit, signíficans, qua morte esset moritúrus. Introívit ergo íterum in prætórium Pilátus, et vocávit Jesum et dixit ei: S, Tu es Rex Judæórum? C. Respóndit Jesus: J. A temetípso hoc dicis, an álii dixérunt tibi de me? C. Respóndit Pilátus: S. Numquid ego Judaeus sum? Gens tua et pontífices tradidérunt te mihi: quid fecísti? C. Respóndit Jesus: J. Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, minístri mei útique decertárent, ut non tráderer Judaeis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc. C. Dixit itaque ei Pilátus: S. Ergo Rex es tu? C. Respóndit Jesus: J. Tu dicis, quia Rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimónium perhíbeam veritáti: omnis, qui est ex veritáte, audit vocem meam. C. Dicit ei Pilátus: S. Quid est véritas? C. Et cum hoc dixísset, íterum exívit ad Judaeos, et dicit eis: S. Ego nullam invénio in eo causam. Est autem consuetúdo vobis, ut unum dimíttam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimíttam vobis Regem Judæórum? C. Clamavérunt ergo rursum omnes, dicéntes: S. Non hunc, sed Barábbam. C. Erat autem Barábbas latro. Tunc ergo apprehéndit Pilátus Jesum et flagellávit. Et mílites plecténtes corónam de spinis, imposuérunt cápiti ejus: et veste purpúrea circumdedérunt eum. Et veniébant ad eum, et dicébant: S. Ave, Rex Judæórum. C. Et dabant ei álapas. Exívit ergo íterum Pilátus foras et dicit eis: S. Ecce, addúco vobis eum foras, ut cognoscátis, quia nullam invénio in eo causam. C. Exívit ergo Jesus portans corónam spíneam et purpúreum vestiméntum. Et dicit eis: S. Ecce homo. C. Cum ergo vidíssent eum pontífices et minístri, clamábant, dicéntes: S. Crucifíge, crucifíge eum. C. Dicit eis Pilátus: S. Accípite eum vos et crucifígite: ego enim non invénio in eo causam. C. Respondérunt ei Judaei: S. Nos legem habémus, et secúndum legem debet mori, quia Fílium Dei se fecit. C. Cum ergo audísset Pilátus hunc sermónem, magis tímuit. Et ingréssus est prætórium íterum: et dixit ad Jesum: S. Unde es tu? C. Jesus autem respónsum non dedit ei. Dicit ergo ei Pilátus: S. Mihi non lóqueris? nescis, quia potestátem hábeo crucifígere te, et potestátem hábeo dimíttere te? C. Respóndit Jesus: J. Non habéres potestátem advérsum me ullam, nisi tibi datum esset désuper. Proptérea, qui me trádidit tibi, majus peccátum habet. C. Et exínde quærébat Pilátus dimíttere eum. Judaei autem clamábant dicéntes: S. Si hunc dimíttis, non es amícus Caesaris. Omnis enim, qui se regem facit, contradícit Caesari. C. Pilátus autem cum audísset hos sermónes, addúxit foras Jesum, et sedit pro tribunáli, in loco, qui dícitur Lithóstrotos, hebráice autem Gábbatha. Erat autem Parascéve Paschæ, hora quasi sexta, et dicit Judaeis: S. Ecce Rex vester. C. Illi autem clamábant: S. Tolle, tolle, crucifíge eum. C. Dicit eis Pilátus: S. Regem vestrum crucifígam? C. Respondérunt pontífices: S. Non habémus regem nisi Caesarem. C. Tunc ergo trádidit eis illum, ut crucifigerétur. Suscepérunt autem Jesum et eduxérunt. Et bájulans sibi Crucem, exívit in eum, qui dícitur Calváriæ, locum, hebráice autem Gólgotha: ubi crucifixérunt eum, et cum eo alios duos, hinc et hinc, médium autem Jesum. Scripsit autem et títulum Pilátus: et pósuit super crucem. Erat autem scriptum: Jesus Nazarénus, Rex Judæórum. Hunc ergo títulum multi Judæórum legérunt, quia prope civitátem erat locus, ubi crucifíxus est Jesus. Et erat scriptum hebráice, græce et latíne. Dicébant ergo Piláto pontífices Judæórum: S. Noli scríbere Rex Judæórum, sed quia ipse dixit: Rex sum Judæórum. C. Respóndit Pilátus: S. Quod scripsi, scripsi. C. Mílites ergo cum crucifixíssent eum, acceperunt vestimenta ejus et fecérunt quátuor partes: unicuique míliti partem, et túnicam. Erat autem túnica inconsútilis, désuper contéxta per totum. Dixérunt ergo ad ínvicem: S. Non scindámus eam, sed sortiámur de illa, cujus sit. C. Ut Scriptúra implerétur, dicens: Partíti sunt vestiménta mea sibi: et in vestem meam misérunt sortem. Et mílites quidem hæc fecérunt. Stabant autem juxta Crucem Jesu Mater ejus et soror Matris ejus, María Cléophæ, e María Magdaléne. Cum vidísset ergo Jesus Matrem et discípulum stantem, quem diligébat, dicit Matri suæ: J. Múlier, ecce fílius tuus. C. Deinde dicit discípulo: J. Ecce mater tua. C. Et ex illa hora accépit eam discípulus in sua. Póstea sciens Jesus, quia ómnia consummáta sunt, ut consummarétur Scriptúra, dixit: J. Sítio. C. Vas ergo erat pósitum acéto plenum. Illi autem spóngiam plenam acéto, hyssópo circumponéntes, obtulérunt ori ejus. Cum ergo accepísset Jesus acétum, dixit: J. Consummátum est. C. Et inclináte cápite trádidit spíritum. C. Judaei ergo quóniam Parascéve erat, ut non remanérent in cruce córpora sábbato erat enim magnus dies ille sábbati, rogavérunt Pilátum, ut frangeréntur eórum crura et tolleréntur. Venérunt ergo mílites: et primi quidem fregérunt crura et alteríus, qui crucifíxus est cum eo. Ad Jesum autem cum veníssent, ut vidérunt eum jam mórtuum, non fregérunt ejus crura, sed unus mílitum láncea latus ejus apéruit, et contínuo exívit sanguis et aqua. Et qui vidit, testimónium perhíbuit: et verum est testimónium ejus. Et ille scit, quia vera dicit: ut et vos credátis. Facta sunt enim hæc, ut Scriptúra implerétur: Os non comminuétis ex eo. Et íterum ália Scriptúra dicit: Vidébunt in quem transfixérunt. Munda cor meum ac labia mea, omnípotens Deus, qui labia Isaíæ Prophétæ cálculo mundásti igníto: ita me tua grata miseratióne dignáre mundáre, ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen. Post hæc autem rogávit Pilátum Joseph ab Arimathaea eo quod esset discípulus Jesu, occúltus autem propter metum Judæórum, ut tólleret corpus Jesu. Et permísit Pilátus. Venit ergo et tulit corpus Jesu. Venit autem et Nicodémus, qui vénerat ad Jesum nocte primum, ferens mixtúram myrrhæ et áloes, quasi libras centum. Accepérunt ergo corpus Jesu, et ligavérunt illud línteis cum aromátibus, sicut mos est Judaeis sepelíre. Erat autem in loco, ubi crucifíxus est, hortus: et in horto monuméntum novum, in quo nondum quisquam pósitus erat. Ibi ergo propter Parascéven Judæórum, quia juxta erat monuméntum, posuérunt Jesum. 3 PASSION The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John. At that time Jesus went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which He entered with His disciples. And Judas also, who betrayed Him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with His disciples. Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants fro the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing that all things that should come upon Him, went forth and said to them: J. Whom seek ye? C. They answered Him: S. Jesus of Nazareth. C. Jesus saith to them: J. I am He. C. And Judas also, who betrayed Him, stood with them. As soon therefore as He had said to them: J. I am He; they went backward and fell to the ground. Again therefore He asked them: J. Whom seek ye? C. And they said: S. Jesus of Nazareth. C. Jesus answered: J. I have told you that I am He. If therefore you seek Me, let these go their way; C. That the word might be fulfilled which He said: Of them whom Thou hast given Me, I have not lost anyone. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter: J. Put up thy sword in the scabbard. The chalice which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it? C. Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him. And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest that year. Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter. The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: S. Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? C. He saith: S. I am not. C. Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter, also, standing and warming himself. The high priest therefore asked Jesus of His disciples and of His doctrine. Jesus answered him: J. I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why asketh thou Me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. C. And when He had said these things, one of the servants, standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: S. Answerest Thou the high priest so? C. Jesus answered him: J. If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou Me? C. And Annas sent Him bound to Caiphas the high priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: S. Art not thou also one of His disciples? C. He denied it and said: S. I am not. C. One of the servants of the high priest a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off saith to him: S. Did I not see thee in the garden with Him? C. Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew. Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Pasch. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: S. What accusation bring you against this man? C. They answered and said to him: S. If He were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered Him up to thee. C. Pilate therefore said to them: S. Take Him you, and judge Him according to your law. C. The Jews therefore said to him: S. It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. C. That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He said, signifying what death He should die. Pilate therefore went into the hall again and called Jesus and said to Him: S. Art Thou the King of the Jews? C. Jesus answered: J. Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have other told it thee of Me? C. Pilate answered: S. Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee up to me. What hast Thou done? C. Jesus answered: J. My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now My kingdom is not from hence. C. Pilate therefore said to Him: S. Art Thou a King then? C. Jesus answered: J. Thou sayest I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony of the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice. C. Pilate saith to Him: S. What is truth? C. And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and saith to them: S. I find no cause in Him. But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the Pasch. Will you, therefore, that I release unto you the King of the Jews? C. Then cried they all again, saying: S. Not this man, but Barabbas. C. Now Barabbas was a robber. Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon His head; and they put on Him a purple garment. And they came to Him and said: S. Hail, King of the Jews. C. And they gave Him blows. Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: S. Behold, I bring Him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in Him. C. Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And he saith to them: S. Behold the man. C. When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen Him, they cried out, saying: S. Crucify Him, crucify Him. C. Pilate saith to them: S. Take Him you, and crucify Him; for I find no cause in Him. C. The Jews answered him: S. We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. C. When Pilate, therefore, had heard this saying, he feared the more. And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: S. Whence art Thou? C. But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore saith to Him: S. Speakest Thou not to me? Knowest Thou not that I have power to crucify Thee, and I have power to release Thee? C. Jesus answered: J. Thou shouldst not have any power against Me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered Me to thee hath a greater sin. C. And from henceforth Pilate sought to release Him. But the Jews cried out, saying: S. If thou release this Man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. C. Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. And it was Parasceve of the Pasch, about the sixth hour; and he saith to the Jews: S. Behold your King. C. But they cried out: S. Away with Him. Away with Him: Crucify Him. C. Pilate saith to them: S. Shall I crucify your King? C. The chief priests answered: S. We have no king but Caesar. C. Then, therefore, he delivered Him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led Him forth. And bearing His cross, He went forth to that place which is called Calvary but in Hebrew Golgotha.; where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and in Latin. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: S. Write not: The King of the Jews; but that He said: I am the King of the Jews. C. Pilate answered: S. What I have written, I have written. C. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Him, took His garments and they made four parts, to every soldier a part and also His coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said then one to another: S. Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled which saith: They have parted My garemnts among them, and upon My vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His Mother, and His Mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore had seen His Mother and the disciple standing whom He loved, He saith to His Mother: J. Woman, behold thy son. C. After that, He saith to the disciple: J. Behold thy mother. C. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Afterwards, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said: J. I thirst. C. Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to His mouth. Jesus therefore, when He had taken the vinegar, said: J. It is consummated. C. And bowing His head, He gave up the ghost. Then the Jews because it was the Parasceve, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day for that was a great Sabbath day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came, and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with Him. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened His side, and immediately there came out blood and water. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled: you shall not break a bone of Him. And again another Scripture saith: They shall look on Him whom they pierced. Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias with a burning coal, and vouchsafe, through Thy gracious mercy, so to purify me, that I may worthily announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Give me Thy blessing, O Lord. The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily and in a becoming manner, proclaim His holy Gospel. Amen. P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews besought Pilate that he might take away the Body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took away the Body of Jesus. And Nicodemus also came he who at the first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. They took therefore the Body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now there was in the place where He was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. There, therefore, because of the Parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be; * Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle! With completed victory rife! And above the Cross's trophy Tell the triumph of the strife: How the world's Redeemer conquer'd By the offering of His life. Ant. Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be. God, his Maker, sorely grieving, That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit of sorow, Whose reward was death and hell, Noted then this Wood the ruin, Of the ancient wood to quell.

For this work of our salvation Needs must have its order so, And the manifold deceiver's Art by art would overthrow, And from thence would bring the healing, Whence the insult of the foe.

Ant. Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. Weeps the Infant in the manger That in Bethlehem's stable stands: And His Limbs the Virgin Mother Doth compose in swaddling bands, Meetly thus in linen folding Of her God the feet and hands. Ant. Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be. Thirty years among us dwelling, His appointed time fulfilled, Born for this, He meets His Passion, For that this He freely willed: On the Cross the Lamb is lifted, Where His life-blood shall be spilled. Ant. Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar, and spear, and reed; From that holy Body broken Blood and water forth proceed: Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean, By that flood from stain are freed. Ant. Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be. Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory!

Ant. Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's ransom to uphold; For a shipwrecked race preparing Harbor, like the Ark of old; With the sacred Blood anointed From the smitten Lamb that rolled. Ant. Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be.

Amen. 15 The royal banners forward go The Cross shines forth in mystic glow, Where life Himself our death endured, And by His death our life procured. Where deep for us the spear was dyed, Life's torrent rushing from His side, To wash us in that precious flood, Where mingled water flowed, and blood. Fulfill'd is all that David told In true prophetic song of old To all the nations: "God," saith he, "Hath reigned and triumphed from the Tree." O Tree of beauty, Tree of light, O Tree with royal purple dight, Elect on whose triumphal breast These holy limbs shouldst find their rest; On whose dear arms, so widely flung, The weight of this world's ransom hung; The price of human kind to pay, And spoil the spoiler of his prey. O Cross, our one reliance, hail! This holy Passiontide avail To give new virtue to the saint, And pardon to the penitent. To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done; As by the Cross Thou dost restore, So rule and guide us evermore. Amen.

Brethren, When you come therefore into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is My Body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of Me. In like manner also the chalice, after He had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in My Blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of Me. For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until He come. Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and the Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself; and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the Body of the Lord. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world. R. Thanks be to God.

Et cena facta, cum diábolus jam misísset in cor, ut tráderet eum Judas Simónis Iscariótæ: sciens, quia ómnia dedit ei Pater in manus, et quia a Deo exivit, et ad Deum vadit: surgit a cena et ponit vestiménta sua: et cum accepísset línteum, præcínxit se. Deinde mittit aquam in pelvim, et coepit laváre pedes discipulórum, et extérgere línteo, quo erat præcínctus. Venit ergo ad Simónem Petrum. Et dicit ei Petrus: Dómine, tu mihi lavas pedes? Respóndit Jesus et dixit ei: Quod ego fácio, tu nescis modo, scies autem póstea. Dicit ei Petrus: Non lavábis mihi pedes in ætérnum. Respóndit ei Jesus: Si non lávero te, non habébis partem mecum. Dicit ei Simon Petrus: Dómine, non tantum pedes meos, sed et manus et caput. Dicit ei Jesus: Qui lotus est, non índiget nisi ut pedes lavet, sed est mundus totus. Et vos mundi estis, sed non omnes. Sciébat enim, quisnam esset, qui tráderet eum: proptérea dixit: Non estis mundi omnes.

Continuation ✠ of the holy Gospel according to John R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Joann 13:1-15 Before the festival-day of the Pasch, Jesus knowing that His hour was come, that He should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world. He loved them unto the end. And when supper was done the devil having now put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot, to betray Him, knowing that the Father had given Him all things into His hands and that He came from God and goeth to God: He riseth from supper and layeth aside His garments and, having taken a towel, girded Himself. After that, He putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to Him: Lord, dost Thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith to Him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with Me. Simon Peter saith to Him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. For He knew who he was that would betray Him; therefore He said: You are not all clean.

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. Top  Next Pange Lingua Pange língua, gloriósi Córporis mystérium, Sanguinísque pretiósi, Quem in mundi prétium Fructus ventris generósi Rex effúdit géntium.

Continuation ✠ of the holy Gospel according to John Before the festival-day of the Pasch, Jesus knowing that His hour was come, that He should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world. He loved them unto the end. And when supper was done the devil having now put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot, to betray Him, knowing that the Father had given Him all things into His hands and that He came from God and goeth to God: He riseth from supper and layeth aside His garments and, having taken a towel, girded Himself. After that, He putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to Him: Lord, dost Thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith to Him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with Me. Simon Peter saith to Him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. For He knew who he was that would betray Him; therefore He said: You are not all clean. Then after He had washed their feet and taken His garments, being set down again, He said to them: Know you what I have done to you? You call Me Master and Lord. And you say well; for so I am. If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.

Be present, O Lord, we beseech Thee, at the performance of our service: and since Thou didst vouchsafe to wash the feet of Thy disciples, despise not the work of Thy hands, which Thou hast commanded us to retain: that as here the outward stains are washed away by us and from us, so the inward sins of us all may be blotted out by Thee. Which do Thou vouchsafe to grant, who livest and reignest God for ever and ever. R. Amen. ESPAÑA MI NATURA
