Strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may
not be disjointed but healed.
— Hebrews 12:12-13
************************************************************************
Jubilee Year of Mercy
This Jubilee Year of
Mercy and Pope Francis’
ministry have renewed our
understanding
that
the
Church’s heart is open wide
to all, and the heart of the
gospel is God’s mercy.
Flooded with God’s mercy,
our hearts should overflow
as channels bringing to
wounded and weary hearts
Jesus’ healing mercy. For
Jesus warns, our own
salvation is not guaranteed
by the Liturgy of the Word (“you taught in our streets”)
nor by the Eucharist (“we ate and drank in your
company”) (Luke 13:26). People far from that banquet,
“from the east and the west and from the north and the
south . . . will recline at table in the kingdom of
God” (13:29). Rather, showing mercy is key to obtaining
mercy ourselves (Matthew 5:7). So we should never dare
ask what “someone” asked Jesus, “Lord, will only a few
people be saved?” (Luke 13:23). The crucial question is
“Will I be saved?” And Jesus’ answer is another question:
“Have you shown mercy to everyone, freely, gladly, no
limits, no conditions, no exceptions?”

Vigésimo Primer Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
21 de agosto de 2016
Robustezcan sus manos cansadas y sus rodillas vacilantes;
caminen por un camino plano, para que el cojo ya no se
tropiece, sino más bien se alivie.
— Hebreos 12:12-13
***********************************************************************
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia y el ministerio del
Papa Francisco vienen renovando nuestro entendimiento de que
el corazón de la Iglesia está abierto para todas las personas y, el
corazón del Evangelio es la misericordia de Dios. Inundados
con la misericordia de Dios, nuestros corazones deben
desbordarse como arroyos llevando a las personas cansadas y
heridas la misericordia consoladora de Jesús. Ya que Jesús
señala que nuestra salvación no está garantizada por la Liturgia
de la Palabra (“tú has enseñado en nuestras plazas”) ni por la
Eucaristía (“Hemos comido y bebido contigo”) (Lucas 13:26).
Habrá personas lejos de ese banquete “del oriente y del
poniente, del norte y del sur . . . participarán en el banquete del
Reino de Dios” (13:29). Por el contrario, mostrar misericordia
es la clave para obtener misericordia nosotros mismos (Mateo
5:7). Para que nunca debamos atrevernos a preguntar lo que
“alguien” le preguntó a Jesús: “Señor, ¿es verdad que son
pocos los que se salvan?” (Lucas 13:23). La pregunta debiera
ser: “¿Yo me salvaré?” Y la respuesta de Jesús sería otra
pregunta: “¿Has sido misericordioso con tu prójimo, de manera
libre, con alegría, sin límites, sin condiciones, sin
excepciones?”
***************************************************************
EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO
El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy
familiar por el refrán “Señor, date prisa en socorrerme”. La
historia de Jeremías hoy y el refrán “¡Señor, date prisa en
socorrerme!” nos recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos para
seguir el llamado de Dios. El autor de la Carta a los Hebreos
también lo sabía. Él recordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos
agobien desgracias y pecados, podemos todavía perseverar si
mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, quien también
conoció la vergüenza y el dolor de la cruz, pero vio más allá
del sufrimiento, el gozo de sentarse a la derecha del trono de
Dios. Jesús mismo dio a sus discípulos una “idea” de un
bautismo que no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que
inauguró su ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las palabras de
la Sagrada Escritura hoy pueden no ser terriblemente
apaciguadoras, pero en su honestidad y fortaleza podemos
reconocer las dificultades que el discípulo enfrenta a diario, y
consolarnos por la seguridad de nuestra salvación en Cristo.
***************************************************************
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El otro día leí un artículo escrito por un pastor bautista sobre la
necesidad de tener un altar en casa para educar a nuestros hijos
en la fe y la oración. Lo leí con interés ya que el uso del
altarcito tiene una larga historia en la Iglesia católica. En casa
de mis abuelos paternos, en México, había un bello altarcito en
forma de pirámide que contenía flores, velas y figuras de Jesús,
María y algunos santos. Además de esto estaban también
algunos instrumentos de oración como el rosario, la Biblia y
algún otro libro de oración. También en casa de mi abuela
materna, en Texas, había un rinconcito sagrado. Muchos latinos
tenemos altarcitos familiares. Algunos son verdaderos altares
como el de mi abuela, Mamá Lilia. Otros son rincones
especiales como el de Mamá María, con alguna imagen y libro
de oración y fotografías de nuestros parientes. A fin de cuentas
no importa ni su tamaño ni su forma. Importa su existencia y
sobre todo su uso para recordarnos de la presencia e
importancia de Dios en nuestros hogares y familias.
