Una tradici\u00f3n que expresa el contenido de la fe m\u00e1s por una v\u00eda simb\u00f3lica que por el uso de la raz\u00f3n instrumental son las posadas en M\u00e9xico. \u00a0El Papa Benedicto XVI, citado por Francisco, dice que la piedad popular de Am\u00e9rica Latina es \u201cun precioso tesoro de la Iglesia cat\u00f3lica\u201d y que en ella \u201caparece el alma de los pueblos latinoamericanos\u201d (Evangelii Gaudium<\/em>, 123). En la celebraci\u00f3n de las posadas, la fe es expresada de una forma maravillosa y es transmitida a la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n; es la evangelizaci\u00f3n en todo su esplendor.<\/p>\n

Todos los d\u00edas desde el 16 de diciembre hasta la noche buena, personas se re\u00fanen con sus vecinos en preparaci\u00f3n para la Navidad al recordar y revivir los momentos que Mar\u00eda y Jos\u00e9 vivieron antes del nacimiento de Jes\u00fas. Mar\u00eda y Jos\u00e9 caminan por el barrio de casa en casa pidiendo posada para pasar la noche y los vecinos les niegan posada. \u00a0Se canta una canci\u00f3n tradicional en cada puerta.\u00a0 En un verso de la canci\u00f3n, Jos\u00e9 implora, \u201cno seas inhumano tennos caridad, que el Dios de los cielos te lo premiar\u00e1,\u201d a lo cual aquellos dentro de la casa responden, \u201cya se pueden ir y no molestar, porque si me enfado les voy a apalear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finalmente un vecino abre sus puertas a Mar\u00eda y Jos\u00e9 cantando, \u201c\u00a1dichosa la casa que alberga este d\u00eda a la virgen pura la hermosa Mar\u00eda!\u201d\u00a0 Al darles posada se reza un rosario y se comparten alimentos tradicionales que todos los vecinos han tra\u00eddo.\u00a0 Abundan las pi\u00f1atas y dulces para los ni\u00f1os. Esta hermosa tradici\u00f3n la empezaron los frailes agustinos en M\u00e9xico en 1587 para evangelizar los pueblos del nuevo mundo.<\/p>\n

A menudo en tiempos modernos estas expresiones de piedad popular como las posadas se miran con desconfianza.\u00a0 Pero el Papa Francisco nos recuerda que la piedad popular \u201csubyace una fuerza activamente evangelizadora que no podemos menospreciar: [de ser as\u00ed] seria desconocer la obra del Esp\u00edritu Santo.\u00a0 M\u00e1s bien estamos llamados a alentarla y fortalecerla\u201d (Evangelii Gaudium<\/em>, 126). Las posadas junto con muchas otras expresiones de piedad popular permiten a los fieles profundizar la fe al hacer reales en la actualidad las verdades del evangelio. Caminar con Mar\u00eda y Jos\u00e9 en una noche fr\u00eda de puerta en puerta y sentir el rechazado generan una experiencia m\u00e1s profunda de la historia de Navidad que simplemente leer el segundo cap\u00edtulo del Evangelio de San Lucas o escuchar una meditaci\u00f3n. La piedad popular se dirige al coraz\u00f3n y permite la evangelizaci\u00f3n profunda del alma. La experiencia de las posadas no ense\u00f1ar\u00e1 a los fieles como explicar la uni\u00f3n hipost\u00e1tica, pero ciertamente permitir\u00e1 que todos sientan en su propia carne la humildad y la pobreza de Dios hecho hombre.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
