TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Processions are lifes journey distilled. We move with companions, aware that Christ accompanies us, as we move to the altar for Communion or to the font for baptism, or carry a loved one to a place of rest. In Europe, the season of pilgrimage is beginning now, and tens of thousands of people are moving by foot on well-worn paths. Some take as long as six weeks to walk the last few hundred miles of the medieval pilgrimage route to the Shrine of St. James the Apostle in Compostella, in northern Spain. Those who make the journey by foot, hiking, or by bicycle, have a kind of passport stamped at villages and monasteries on the road. When they present this document at the cathedral, they are given the emblem of a pilgrim, the scallop shell of St. James. High over their heads at Mass, a huge botafumero twirls clouds of sweet incense through the cathedral. Cynics say it is to mask the odor of smelly feet. The pilgrims know better. Seeing through the clouds the happy faces of those they met along the road, they recognize a foretaste of the welcome into heaven, and the joy of meeting loved ones in the Kingdom of God.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Segn san Mateo, una noche mientras los discpulos estaban en la barca de Pedro, Jess vino haca ellos caminando sobre el mar. Ellos se espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algn pescador pero l los calm diciendo nimo!, que soy yo; no teman. Debi ser impactante ver al Seor caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una poca donde las aguas venan consideradas como el caos. En varias partes de Latinoamrica los fieles celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos sobre ros o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Per se llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesin acutica. San Pedro, que fue pescador, est en casa sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de pescadores las que forman la procesin. Esta procesin reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los pescadores, que durante el ao perdieron sus vidas en el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la baha. Pero, esta procesin no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las aguas, dominando el mar.
