Bakit nga ba kulay violet ang suot ng mga Pari tuwing Kuwaresma?

 

Ang suot ng mga Pari na kulay Violet tuwing kuwaresma ay tinatawag na (Vestment) ang vestment ay mayroong iba’t – ibang kulay at mayroon din itong iba’t-ibang kahulugan. Dahil tungkol sa kuwaresma ang aking Paksa ay aking tatalakayin kung ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng Violet na Vestment ng isang Pari.

Tuwing Kuwaresma kapansin pansin na sa lahat ng Simbahan sa buong mundo ay makikita nating naka violet na vestment ang isang Pari, ang ibig sabihin lamang nito ay nasa panahon na tayo ng Kuwaresma, ang purple, violet o lila ay sinasagisag ang kalungkutan at pagsisi (sakripisyo). Sapagkat tayo’y inaanyayahang magsisi at magbalik-loob sa Diyos.

“Nasa bibliya ba yan”? (Sabi ng mga Anti-Catholic)

Maraming mga sekta ang nagsasabi na diumano walang batayan “daw” sa bibliya ang Purple vestment ng mga Pari ng Simbahang Katolika, patunay pa “daw” ito na ang Catholic Church ay “Whore of Babylon” o “Ang Babaeng Patotot”.

Well, Let’s take a look at Sacred Scripture.

In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.

Exodus 39:14
And the twelve stones, were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.

Exodus 39:15
They made also in the rational little chains, linked one to another, of the purest gold,

Exodus 39:16
And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,

Exodus 39:17
On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.

Exodus 39:18
These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,

And when they shall go forth to the outward court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them up in the store chamber of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments: and they shall not sanctify the people with their vestments.

Kitams? Ang violet vestment ng Simbahang Katolika ay mayroong “Biblical Roots”, hindi ito kathang isip lamang ng Simbahan at walang batayan sa Biblia.

Ang Liturgical Vestment ay pinahihintulutan ng Diyos, sa mga Pari. At iniutos sa kanila ng Diyos na sila ay maging banal, sa pamamagitan ng Purple vestment ay pinapakita, at pinapaalala nito para sa lahat na dapat tayo ay magsisi at magbalik loob sa Diyos. #Amen
