Hoy 7 de agosto es uno de los días más esperados por la comunidad católica, porque se festeja el día de San Cayetano, conocido por toda la grey como el Santo del pan y del trabajo.
Aunque este año, la multitud que concurre habitualmente, para agradecer ó pedir un favor al Santo, deberá convivir con la presencia de la gripe A como parte del escenario. Una de las medidas de prevención be cleaned frequently with alcohol gel image of the Patron of work.
These are the images that the blog team practiced in various areas of our Liniers district, adjacent to the Church of San Cayetano.
lands west of the capital to the length and width configured an extension report. From the flowers to match the current Citadel and beyond called them: land Liniers. The name of the hero of the British invasion and viceroy of Buenos Aires, we believe, is due to a possible personal involvement in these places, or the existence of a military barracks located in an area called Citadel, now become a historical museum, or perhaps no more than a tribute.
In the book Mr. Egidio Chierico: "Origin of Resurgence Liniers (BA 1945) writes, that in 1872, at the request of a resident of the area (Francisco Sosa), requested the construction of a station, that the Board of the Western Railway Company, set the name of Liniers. "
This was the origin of the name of this land which would be the scene of the providential devotion of San Cayetano, thanks to developments by the action of the Congregation of Divine Salvador, desire and activity and the work zone faithful priests.
These lands, in those ancient times, were not, of course, the current strength of Liniers district. There was
General Paz Avenue, the railroad, nor the Treasury market. Were parceled out by fifth, farms, cottages or summer break and some other grocery stores, taverns, bowling alleys, grocery stores, etc.
A topographic map Liniers district continues its layout with the names of their owners, bounded a hundred yards, for the "long road of land '(now Avenida Rivadavia - route No. 7), starting from the northwest of the Republic came to the Capital, bringing workers field trucks, barges and wagons pulled by oxen and horses, livestock farming fruits.
in the area were stopped Party Flores, popular markets where they were installed. Also, they utilize this area as a summer resort and rest Therefore, the limited capital city on this lot (now in the neighborhood of Flores) and north along the creek "Maldonado", tubing, and then become the Avenida Juan B. Justo.
So were those lands, they reached the Sisters of the Divine Savior, from the Holy House of Spiritual Exercises founded by the Blessed Maria Antonia de la Paz y Figueroa that, from Cordoba arrived on foot to the Federal Capital. Those lands belonged according to documents, Maria Mercedes Cordova, who donated them in 1830, the Religious Sisters, becoming rightful owner and since then started his religious work on the land of Liniers.
They rose in a sector, the retreat that the current school is governed by the Municipality.
In the center built a chapel dedicated to small, flat San Cayetano, for the spiritual care of the faithful to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days, and in the other sector front, the convent and girls school ( now the College of San Cayetano).
Presumably, the hiring of a chaplain, who remained in the Residence, or are coming every day or on Sundays and holy days of obligation.
must be notified at that time, from the parish area de la Candelaria, to Martin, San Justo, Citadel and Ramos Mejia, no speaking Church, Chapel or Parish whatsoever. For this, the chaplain of agreement with the neighbors, the Sisters of the Divine Savior and the archdiocese, decided to build a new chapel (Origin of the current parish).
What happens, for some time in the district of Liniers moves and shakes the sensitivity of the people of Buenos Aires and its surroundings and beyond.
This popular religious social transformation happens every day, seven of each month, reaching a climate of "religious phenomenon", the August 7 (day's liturgical feast of the Holy), carry a ritual organization of the Sanctuary and social sectors of the neighborhood with a party atmosphere, so remarkable , which draws the attention of common man, the scholar of religious realities, the anthropologist, psychologist, sociologist and politician.
Devotion to San Cayetano is of a continuing event of popular religiosity, perhaps unique and peculiar in the Western world for its expressive form and content deep social order.
also be appropriate to the tonic modern religious historical process of integral evangelization of Latin America, which, perhaps unintentionally meaningfully and effectively anticipated the current call: Popular Pastoral - Pastoral Social - Social Popular Culture.
Devotion to San Cayetano is still alive and thriving. It was, indeed, an ecclesiastical fashion imposed by material interest. Today, like yesterday is a totally unenlightened religious reality, belongs to the mystery of God's plan and the spiritual and material needs of men.
This arose, as is clear from story, a human reality stocks, mental, moral and social order policy.
crises of this nature, man's crisis always involves ultimately a religious issue, then, when distressed happen to the human heart and incite not accept an inhuman way of being in the world and the desire to live live with dignity according to the human person here looking for the best and the unveiling of uncertainties beyond, not by magical means, but by a supernatural religious order.
Every religion - its etymology is a bond expressly essentially free, a living and sacred-profane correspondence the man with the Divinity program with the revelation of God's mysteries, a true theological doctrine, liturgy and pastoral pedagogical formulations, various ritual gestures and actions commensurate with the Christian spirit. This man has to live the earthly contingencies, with a transcendent religiosity.
scientistic rationalism seeks to undermine the genuine religious reality, and the mythological occult sects and religious characteristics making them explode in superstition and pseudo religious sectarianism .
Chesterton in his famous paradoxes says: "It is madness to put the sky in the head, when it is wiser to put your head in the sky."
devotee of San Cayetano work according to their faith and common sense to donate the Evangelisation of the Catholic Church .
